The lights are on
Bullet Run was announced less than a year ago, but Sony Online Entertainment and Acony Games are shutting down the free-to-play FPS.
As of today, billing for the game has stopped. Players with accounts in good standing will be able to continue playing until March 8, at which point the servers will go offline. Even the game's website and forums are being shut down.
Remember the good ol' days when Bullet Run was still full of potential? We barely do either, but you can relive them by watching Bullet Run's announcement trailer:

I didn't even remember this game existed until that trailer sort of brought it back. Barely.
Talk about a barrage of bad news lately.
It wasn't fun.
Whoo this was my tip =D it sucks so many games and game devs are dying lately.
Didn't even know this game existed.
Was it really that bad?
never heard of it .. sucks for those that played it tho ...but i'm guessing that wasn't many.
Oh the waste.
Bullet Run? Guess that explains the shut down.
Wow....
Games like this never stand a chance. The F2P market has really come into its own in the last 2 or 3 years. There are many quality F2P games that offer both fair game play and fairly priced stores. It is a mistake for developers to think they can treat the PC market like they can the smart phone market. If you have a gaming computer you are likely to know what a quality game is and you are not going to waste your cash on cash in games like this.
I don't remember a single moment where I thought Bullet Run was going to be good. It ripped off MNC's vibe but missed the point entirely.
Why play this when PlanetSide 2 is out?
Due to the fact that I have never heard of this game I'm going to assume that it isn't very good...
Aw..... :(
I played since the closed beta. Even then, in the testing stage, it was still an unbalanced, buy-to-win FPS. Now if somebody took the idea, which I really liked, and made it a bit better, that would be great.
Free to play casualties will happen when their not balanced or good enough which causes their profit potential to fall or go non-existent. so when the $ goes away so does the title. We'll probably see more of this as more free to play games become avail. survival of the fittest in the "free" world.

Neva heard of it
Yeah never heard of it & from the video I can see why.
