A friend dragged me into this the night it came out, and it's quite a bit of fun if you don't suck horribly.

There's some two thousand odd keys left for grabs apparently. I had a bit of trouble patching because their update server was down, but I think they've fixed that now. If not, check their forums for a guide to patching.
Basically, it's a first/third person tank shooter. You get a tank. You kill the pomegranate out of other tanks.
I'm really finding this quite entertaining, and it's got a decent system with EXP and Credits to earn better parts for your tanks, and leveling down a tank tree.

There's five types of tanks; Artillery, Light/Medium/Heavy Tanks, and Tank Destroyers. Unlike most first/third person shooters, you don't have unlimited viewing range. It will state in your tank's stats how far you can see, and that's how far. However, if you're in radioing distance of teammates, they can relay information to you, basically letting you see what they see too. So it's very important for Light Tanks, who are faster and can see fairly far, to scout for the heavy hitters (namely Artillery), since they're a lot slower, and it's very important to make sure you're behind cover (bushes are apparently impossible to see through) so you're not seen immediately.
Pretty cool things can happen with a lot of team work, and then pretty nasty things can happen if someone comes in with a much nicer tank. I just finished a round that somehow had the enemy team with two Heavy Tanks. They managed to kill one, but somehow I was the last one left with 5 kills under my belt. Hoping for a miracle, I tried to pick the last Heavy Tank off, but my cannon didn't have enough penetration value to go through its armour, so I died. But alas, I OHKO everything I can penetrate...
Just thought I'd share.
