I really enjoyed the intro levels and missions, but once you got beyond that I thought it dropped off. This was a better single-player game than a multi-player game.

I rather just buy it and play it, and I wish you could create your own server with your own amount of people you want on it if you wanted to. I hope they make a new Auto Assault with better graphics and same stuff, sadly they might not. I hope you guys got your dumb wish, that you wanted this game to fail, no original ideas from you guys.

It was Pay to Play. The pay to play model doesn't have room for very many games, and this still wouldn't be able to survive today as pay to play. Maybe if it released as a item shop (micro transaction) free to play model, it would survive, but it still would fail released as a pay to play game. It wasn't as great a game as you are making it out to be, and it's not half the game as some of the current pay to play games that are failing.

Auto Assault had a great concept and didnt do enough with it resulting in gameplay that just felt odd. Healer-class cars? Give me a break! If you released Auto Assault again today it would suffer the same face-planting flop that it did before. There are lots of innovative MMOs that have had success. The trick is to buy into your innovation wholesale rather than take the standard gameplay systems (such as classes) and slap them onto an inappropriate foundation, which is what Auto Assault did.

I had heard about it once or twice but I always thought it was some sort of early 1990's game on america online or something. I never once took it serious.
