Transformers: War For Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron

Motley Crue

Has anyone played this yet? If so, on what format? They claim this could be the game to give the fans exactly what they want and introduce new fans to the series.

As official cannon it looks like something I need to get my hands on pretty quick!

It's been out a good while now.

It's really only okay... could have been a lot better.


The PS2 Transformers game still holds the crown.

I have it on the 360. The story mode honestly wasnt great. I bought it for the multiplayer modes which are fantastic, but sadly the community is dying. Last time i check there was about 50 people playing team death match and 12 on conquest mode, which is enough to join a game, but say the host of the game is somewhere outside europe it can be quite laggy and you will be stuck in a laggy game with the lack of players

Sorry for resurrecting a dead thread, but I bought this second hand recently and I'm really enjoying it.

Been playing a good bit of conquest mode over the weekend, averaging 8 players in some games which is good craic.

The online is really fantastic in WFC. Nice break away from the CoD's and Battlefields. Hope they bring out a WFC 2...

The new DOTM game should fill that gap, it's from the same developers

They're keeping the multiplayer with a few tweaks, such as changes to the scientist class and being able to use named characters instead of the generic chasis that WFC uses.

Picked up my 2nd hand copy in CEX on Liffey St. a few weeks ago, was definitely under €20 and they had a few copies.

If you pick up a ps3 copy I am reasonably sure chopper and I would do a 3 player run through with you

Jayd0g

Should've clarified, it's the Xbox 360 version I picked up.

Online most evenings for a game of conquest if anybody's up for it.

Sold mine once i hit "prestige" in the multiplayer. Kinda regret it since sometimes i would like to jump back in for some online. At 20 quid you cant go wrong with this game...

Can't believe I waited so long to pick it up. WIll be getting the DOTM game a lot sooner I think.

You could always jump into the new game's multiplayer ....

I honestly hope you dont buy the DOTM game. I cleared it in 1 sitting. All achievements. Multiplayer is poor to boot. Majorly disappointing!

Don't worry I won't be. Have been reading the reviews and it sounds like it was a bit rushed.

So just going to rent it for a weekend.

On the upside, WFC is 5x XP in multiplayer for good now, so levelling up is no longer such a chore!

War Machine 539

Need a hand with the reach level 15 on escalation achievement if anyone can help?

Jayd0g

Send me an invite to a game if I'm online, I'll give a hand.

Got it today with Randoms! Always as soon as I ask for help! :P

dinobots and bruticus.

**** yeah !

chopperbyrne

Jazz too.

I believe Hasbro have indicated that this time round there will be a more comprehensive toy line.


Still, rather underwhelemed by what we've seen of Bruticus so far.... It's so long since Hasbro have attempted a proper gestalt, i may have expected a bit much.

Galvasean

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh....

ChopShop

^ 2nd hand rumor indicates they might get round to a full set of Dinobots this time round

Ah FFS.. no PC version this time by the look of it

What format? If it's PS3 I'm sure me and DooM could be convinced to run through co-op again.

Absolutely.

Galvasean

Ps3. Yeah, I'll get me a bit of practice first. I'm still at that awkward stage where I run sideways and fall into deep chasms.
