4 player online co-op
Some info on wheather or not to get buy the extra stuff; if one has they can host maps they can host and everyone can join, also extra weapons aren't useful until you are quite high level.

When I first saw this, I thought "Ugh... not another of these mediocre PvP games that just have players raiding each other constantly for leaderboard standings." Looks like I was quite wrong and it could be pretty interesting.

Castle Doctrine appeals to me with the rabid guard dogs, but the switch systems that can be set up - unless by-passable need to be switched in repetative patterns - which seems too annoying:

Having said that, this guy is very experienced at the high end - but like Counter Strike, once everyone gets there the game play is less approachable.
It is only $8 currently 1/2 price due to Alpha, which is very decent.

Payday looks like a nice break from Left 4 Dead 2, I will wait until it comes up on Steam Sale.
Which hopefully will be soon as Payday 2 is being released.
