    Did you ever say "I want a game that's so realistic" this is TOO realistic i can't stand this game it's too close to reality :mad:

    This game isn't in any shape realistic, even arcade shooters like BF:BC2 have better ballistic physics, you should try ARMA2 or the original OPF if you want to see what a proper sim is like.

    I can sum this game up in a few lines..

    Me to Squad "Right lads , head up along the ridge as there's two squads of bad guys , one on each side.."
    Squad then proceed to run out into the open directly towards the enemy and get shot.

    Mission Failed.
    Game Failed.
    Pure POO !

    I was considering picking this up, reading mixed reviews about it though.
    What does anyone who's played it think of it?

    So are you still going to pick this game up now?

    You aren't fooling anyone, you have 3 more copies of it sitting there!

    You've just given me an idea. Everybody send their copy of this tripe to me. Tell your friends to do the same, post it on other gaming forums. I'm pretty sure we could get a couple of thousand copies together. I'll get them boxed up in a big ass crate and ship them all back to Codemaster with a strongly worded letter:mad:. I could let IGN, Joystiq etc know what we are doing get a bit of publicity going. Not really sure what we could acheive, probably nothing but could be fun to see our (and by our, i mean my) picture on a couple of gaming sites.


    Disclaimer: I will not be paying for postage.

    ps. Yah! 500 posts!!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,311 ✭✭✭weiland79


    And another thing. Who are these people that are voting go for it in the poll?

    Make yourself known so i can slap you with my big slapping stick.

    I gave those three copies out to my mates and insisted that they keep them :D One of them managed to trade in back in within a few weeks of launch. The rest of us decided to hold on to them because Codemasters were promising all sorts of patches/updates and add-ons... oh the lies....

    Thought it would be a bit like Far Cry 2, broken single player but with great multiplayer potential, if patched correctly. Unlike Dragon Rising, FC2 got perfectly patched and became my favourite FPS multiplayer for over a year.

    You could play a different set of maps every night, due to the map creator. There's thousands of maps now!!! Yeah, I know the controls are clunky but it was immensely enjoyable to play. Had a regular bunch that loved it too, probably added to the enjoyment. Most of them are still regularly playing it still.

    I digress... where was I.... Oh yeah... Codemaster's suck!!!

    Hmm that's interesting what you say about FC2. Don't think i ever even tried MP. Think I'll dig it out tonight and give it a lash.

    No, in fact, if all goes well I'm gonna trade the xbox in for a ps3 this weekend.

    Are you crazy??? Just wait a couple of weeks and upgrade it to the new "Xbox 360 S"... built in WiFi, 250gig HD and you can still play your existing games... Probably only cost you €100 or so to upgrade


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,651 ✭✭✭Captain Slow IRL


    Why? I'm sick of all the games on the xbox right now and nothing coming out this year has caught my attention.

    On the other hand, GT5 is out soon for PS3 and there seems to be some excellant exclusives available right now.

    If I get sick of it, I'll just trade it back for the new 360!
