Tyler Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wasn't everyone praising the MP demo a while back? Also, a good SP in a MP-based FPS is a rarity these days and it also looks like a lot of fun. Kinda like a much bigger version of MoH:Airborne (hey! I liked that game). I'm actually quite tempted to pick this one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmolsc Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 mp is good its vast and needs more players as the maps are big...u really need to think how to use the different classes....its somewhat like battlefield with the heli's and tnks and stuff....the ones who didnt like mp...maybe they idnt get it or they dont like shooters or they like shooters which are just shooters...this has vehicles so depends personwise..imo its a very good game....me filly,hahamna and many others found this hame very fun...depends after my exams i may be getting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 If anyone's planning on getting this game from Steam... don't. The steam version doesn't work and it keeps crashing (SP as well as MP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Worth picking up on the 360 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I just played the first two levels and they seem like fun (very arcady though). Stupid net was down in office so I couldn't go online but I'll report back once I play a couple of matches tomorrow. PS: If there are lots of people who want the game Sam could speak to e-express and get a deal hooked up for y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Playing the game right now [sP] and it's great fun! It doesn't do anything terribly innovative but it's solid. The graphics are great and the weapon effects and explosions are spectacular! You can feel the "punch" while firing the standard issue assault rifle. I'm always a sucker for weapon effects and sounds and this game does it really well. The campaign is freeform and you can tackle each objective in a non-linear fashion. It's somewhat similar to Medal Of Honor: Airborne in that respect. The on foot controls are pretty tight but the vehicles don't handle too well. I must say the game has a rather nice plot as well, which is somewhat uncommon with military based shooters lately. You play as an unnamed soldier (at least I don't think you have a name) and the story is told from the perspective of a journalist who accompanies the squad during their operations. The game is divided into (I think) 7 missions, each with two parts. I completed the first mission and am halfway through the second one. From what I've seen SP doesn't seem to be terribly long... and should take around 8 hours. But there are time trials, multiple difficulties and challenges if you're so inclined. Cannot comment on the MP (which seems to be this game's main USP) because I haven't tried it yet. I heard the demo lagged horribly so I doubt the full game will behave any differently. Overall, it's a standard military based shooter and if you enjoy stuff like GRAW (albeit far less tactical), COD, MOH etc you should like this game. WARNING! The game features a LOT of the typical UE3 "brownish" environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyofx Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Tyler, how long did the SP last you? And hows the MP? Lotsa lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The single player campaign is basically a glorified tutorial and can be rushed through pretty fast. I dunno about the 360 version but MP was pretty smooth for me with 150-200 latency constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
