My thoughts on this game - Page 2

I have played the comaign so far, without co-op yet nor adversary multiplayer. But coming from an expert of this game who been anticipating it for a year and a half, the game turned out to be nothing of what Codemasters have promised.

One major thing I remember, was when they said realistic vehicle getting in animation, they even demonstrated it on E3 2008, but in actual game it looks nothing like that, not even close. The door magically opens, then you/your teamates pop in with a slight glitch of seeing your buddy flot over the rooftop of the car for a second, and then the door magically closes.

Graphics also don't look as big as they were hyped. I'm not a graphics whore, but I can tell when graphics are overhyped. I mean, it doesn't look terrible, they look actually good for the game this size, but they aren't as big as CM was hyping them to be, screenshots they took must have came from the PC version.

Explosions don't look all that great either in my opinion.

And there also few knit-picking that I might have liked to post, but those so far are two of major things that big me right now.

Regarding those, the game is not bad. The AI seem to be pretty tactical so far, when you alert them, they try to disimberse and flank you, although even so called "superior " AI can be real dumb sometimes. The game is still something that people pretty much never played on 360 before, so it deserves a shot for those that like shooters and try something new.

The bottom-line, the game is not as I though it was going to be, and to re-phrase it, it wasn't as anything as CM told us it was going to be.

Graphics also don't look as big as they were hyped. I'm not a graphics whore, but I can tell when graphics are overhyped. I mean, it doesn't look terrible, they look alright, but they aren't as big as CM was hyping them to be, screenshots they took that looked passible must have came from the PC version.

Someone finally gives some valid explanations about the game. I hate replies like "IGN disagrees". IGN sucks anyways lol.

Thanks for your reply and with what you said I think I am going to pass on this one. COD is right around the corner anyways.

No problem.

Now granted this is my first impression, because I haven't played adversary yet and really spent about an hour play through compaign, so I'm just trying to word out what I saw so far.

It's deffinatly not as big as I though it was going to be, and deffinatly wasn't as big as CM promised it to be.

However it's still something that was never done before on 360, and it's doing a alright job on realism(depending on which mode you chose to play). But if you have a spending game budget deficit and/or expect to by bunch of games this fall, pasing on this would be a smart strategy unless you have a hunch for it.

I agree to everything you say about this.
I have been playing alot of co-op with my friends and i think its great fun.
Hopefully there will be alot of DLC for this game

i'll probably buy it in a few months after they have fixed all the dirty bugs. but then again once mw2 is out will i really need a war shooter :S the answer is probably not.

cant see a long lasting period for this game tbh

The servers are extremely laggy, and everytime you jump in a vehicle, you are stuck looking in one direction, you cannot observe what is going on around you. Just several misc. bugs that need to be fixed. I also hate the weapon selection method. If you run out of ammo with your primary weapon, and need to switch to secondary like your pistol, it takes about 5 seconds. The computer enemies can see you through bush's and debris and kill you, where as you cannot see them at all because your a human and you cant look through 5 bush's in the dark even with NV on.

I would suggest renting before buying seriously.

Laggy servers have nothing to do with the game, it is quite obviously you connection to the servers. I live in Australia and have to deal with that problem with any game I play online.

Does the game run on dedicated or host-server system?

Its pretty fun. There are some bugs, but fuck, Id like to see you go develop a bug-free game.

**shorty920** · 10-10-2009, 04:12 PM

Looks like this game is a pass.

I'm finding it really fun, and I agree the explosions look terrible.

I think the graphics are great, especially when you have a large scope close to the camera and it's intentionally blurred.

Anyone played infiltration? Holy shit, I was defending a base and managed to get a hold of one of the enemies guns with the heat scope = rape.
