A little more "Get Smart" than "Mission Impossible".

Signal Ops, tactical squad-based stealth-shooter in which you control up to four agents simultaneously, is available right now on GOG.com 20% off for only $11.99.

"Danger? Danger is my middle na--well, no. Actually, no. Danger is someone *else's* middle name. My middle name is "Clyde." I prefer my days to be less hectic. I'm more of a managerial sort, myself. Lead from the rear and all that. It's dangerous out there, full of shooting and explosions and screams and whatnot. Not my style at all. I'd much rather sit back here in HQ, directing the action in air-conditioned comfort."

Does this sound like your kind of game? Then Signal Ops, a tactical / FPS mashup with a striking distinctive visual style, is now on GOG.com, 20% off for just $11.99, should be a headshot of fun! As the brains behind the daring operations that your team undertakes, you will complete daring missions to plant evidence, steal secrets, assassinate targets, and perform sabotage. Take advantage of multiple simultaneous first person views to stealthily evade enemies or get the drop on them. Signal Ops supports single player modes as well as 2 or 3-player co-op (Online, LAN, Local, in any combination).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on a series of madcap missions with murder, mayhem, and mischief in mind. With a 20% off launch discount for this first week after launch (ending 10:59 GMT on the 9th of April), this is the kind of no-brainer operation that even a rookie agent could successfully complete. Get smart!

Based on the 30 minutes or so I've played, I don't quite recommend the game just yet. The shooting feels really poor in that there's very little feedback as to whether or not you're damaging enemies or being hurt yourself, the A.I. is also poor and I found that teammates and enemies often got hung up indefinitely on doors and obstacles, and the controls are very clunky and can't be customized in the menus. I love the game's concept, but right now it just doesn't play very well. It feels very much like an alpha or beta.

This looks like a great game! Unfortunately, I will most likely not be purchasing because I don't do well in FPS genres. I suffer from motion sickness. Although I can handle third person shooters like Mass Effect and VTMB, because they don't swivel the camera in such a way that makes my head swim.

If this had been an RPG or Adventure, as I may presume, if I had seen screenshots 2, 3, 4, 10, 11 and nothing else, I'd want to get this.

When I voted for this on Steam Greenlight, I said I'd buy it if it was sold. But I didn't say where from. :D

About time you also give us linux binaries where available GOG.

Because GoG doesn't support Linux versions. So users using Linux will obviously buy the game somewhere else.

Looks interesting, wishlisted for now.

Where if I may ask? So far the only places I've seen to support Linux are the developers' homepages (some, not all), and some (again, not all) of the Humble Bundle games. Before you say "Steam supports Linux", Steam actually supports Ubuntu. If you are using any other variety of Linux, you don't get support.

And between having a product with full support being sold, or having access to an unsupported platform, I'd take support over platform any time.

Yes, exactly.That is what i was trying to say between the lines. good someone put it bluntly.
So: "users using Linux"... ok, that will be like 5% of us? Yeah, big loss for GOG....

Not exactly. Yes I suppose Linux users comprise roughly 5% of all computers users but it would be naive to assume none of them would be able or willing to boot Windows up for a couple hours of gaming, then back to Linux for anything else. So I believe some of GOG's current customers are avid Linux adopters already.
There are lost sales indeed, but are they high enough to justify the cost of supporting Linux? Maybe they are or maybe in the future they'll become high enough, but I have no information to claim either way.

Evidence suggests slightly less than 1.5% of all computing devices use Linux.
