There is a very small amount of footage from the old Half Life version of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g98eQx6WvbI&t=149s
It's fairly obvious why it has cop vibes so much when its roots are Rebels vs Fascists. What you're getting from the cop-ishness is the fact that those characters were originally intended to be on the fash side.
I agree with you on Valve's community cultivation. They cultivate communities that are indistinguishable from 4chan.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I guess that's very similar to the setup in CS - Amerikkkan invaders or rebels, pick your team. Except deadlock is much more character focused obv, so if you can pick whichever character for whichever team, then the fashiness just becomes their personality.
Idk which I prefer tbh lol. I'm picturing a Dota-like scenario where the opposite team's fash character on my lane is killing me over and over, and then a chud playing a fash character on my team is yelling slurs at me. And I'm stuck in the game for another 50 minutes. Not my idea of fun haha. I guess I am a little interested to see if any of the aspects of that specific experience aren't as bad in Deadlock, but not interested enough to find out.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
