Bullet Storm

Animation News

Just got this it's called Bullet Storm and it's from Epic games. So far It's pretty cool I like some stuff abotu it but already through the first two campaign levels it's pretty repetitive and boring and the language is like every other word is fuck and not that I hate hearing or against cursing but hearing anything over and over will annoy you. Anyway here is the trailer.
