I think it was a left 4 dead clone with added cthulu, can barely recall it

I'm not sure you can call it a clone, its made by the developers that made Left 4 Dead in the first place.

Well, it looks quite impressive and all that. Of course, I haven't played it, so I dunno if it's anything like the Next Big Thing as most games writers seem to believe. Since I'm no fan of online gaming it probably won't resonate with me. Is there any kind of player vs AI mode..? If not, I'll pass on it. I've barely played much Titanfall for precisely that reason.

Also how did it win best online multiplayer when none of them have played it? Why is it even an award?
