Just a note to PC players thinking of grabbing this on steam and wondering why it isn't listed yet, it is actually listed with a preorder bonus of metro and some tf2 items however you can't order it because apparently uk retail stores have a week exclusivity or something stupid like that.

When the game properly launches those bonuses will probably be gone, so if you want them you might want to find an american to preorder from then get ready to wait an extra week.

Pretty stupid considering the game uses steamworks protection :|

I'll think you'll find, some developers love to talk mince about their own games. Particularly team/project leaders.

Most likely they will have spawn zones, which pretty much are the same as spawn points, just a little less predictable, if done right, but spawn points can easily compensate by just adding more.

Remember Quake Wars?
Or even rush mode in BC2?

Or perhaps their last game Frontlines?
New game, same old play mode.

I think I'll hold off playing this and see how it does in 3 months time.

An onine mate of mine in America has been playing it, he said it's [censored] dont waste your money

To late my pre/order is in the post and the fact that's its not that good does not surprise me as i mentioned in your first thread about Homefront.

Reviews of the game are all over the place from really good to really bad,i will test it Thursday straight away on the multiplayer and if it turns out as bad as most reviews then it will get quickly traded the following week.

Looks like another all Hype no Substance type of game but what do we really expect from the developers of a previous mediocre game.[Frontlines]



Crysis 2 for the following weeks looks like it has everything,it has a soliid single player game,plenty of online maps and the graphics look really cool.

THIS VIDEO SAYS IT ALL

Well Swanny i am sending you my Bill for taking your advice about this game,just out of interest Swanny have you pre/ordered the game or have you escaped by the skin of your teeth and been well warned.

I'm only going by what one person said. He compared it to MAG
My mate put down a deposit with game for me but he knows the bloke there so should be no problem.

And MAG in my case quickly got traded even though many people liked it.

Well at least ZAVI LIKED IT But then again who cares about Zavi for expert reviews.

Yup, it must be realllly special

Doesn't look too bad.
Just depends on whether there is more than that to keep you coming back

Well i have played about 1 hour of single player and the same for the multiplayer and my first thoughts are these.

Single player graphically looks like a playstation 2 game but does not seem as bad as reviewers are making out,the hit detection was spot on and i did not find myself wanting to turn it of with utter frustration.

Multiplayer...

Now this seems like another ball game and i found this really quite exciting apart from the fact i am on the lower end of the rank scale,seems like some [must be Americans] are already ranked upto the top tear as many were in the 30s.

Dont think it could keep me playing for months but i think there is a decent multiplayer game here apart from some not to clever graphics,will test it out online a lot more later tonight .

Just checked out your vid Gzero and unfortunatly i did not have the Rank or the battle points to get hold of the Apache gunship which produced a fair bit of destruction and looked well cool

Might think its even better or i may change my mind and say its a lot worse than my initial first thoughts.

Its actually quite enjoyable the battle mode that i actually played called Ground control i think,weapons dont look that good but when you aim at someone it does the job when opening fire.

Think there are server issues though as it took a little time connecting and there are messages from the developers saying they are adding more.

Not sure if i was playing American based servers as my ping with quite a few others was not that good looking at the little bar on the right hand side of the menu screens in the lobby.
