Greyroofoo · 06-10-2005, 05:40 PM

my only real beef at the game is that its being published by EA

LOL, yeah - I can agree there.

TazFTW · 06-10-2005, 05:44 PM

Had to pack up my computer because I'm switching dorms. Although maybe I'll be able to avoid the waiting in line when I get it back on.

How big is the demo?

Mins is up to 70kbs. I got 1 and a half hrs to go.

I know its a demo but here is what I am hearing so far about it;

Quote:

Early impressions throughout the web are really bad. Lots of errors, crashing, doesn't look good, missing resolutions, totally unrealistic weapons (dozens of rounds to kill) etc, etc.

I am about 56 mins away form the finsish but I have to leave the house for a while. I'll be back later. Guys, what names will you use? We should all hook up.

jbmagic · 06-10-2005, 07:24 PM

thanks maximus for the screenshots.

looks good.

is this game diffcult to play. or its basicly you get online and shoot at others

illinifan999 · 06-10-2005, 07:51 PM

so far I'm only hearing amazing things about it

Really. Well thats good to hear. I have only read certain forums.

illinifan999 · 06-11-2005, 02:13 PM

Well I got to play and I it will be an instant purchase. This is I mean wow, I'm impressed.

Greyroofoo · 06-11-2005, 02:37 PM

good for you! Although personally I'm kind of underwhelmed by it, I think I may just be too used to Call of Duty

illinifan999 · 06-11-2005, 03:40 PM

Seeing as how I play AA, I guess it wouldn't really take much to impress me.

TazFTW · 06-12-2005, 06:36 AM

Played for a few hours and I like it. I love the new squad feature, very useful when the squad acts as a team. I do think the weapons seem a little underpowered as it takes many hits to take someone down.

maximus · 06-12-2005, 11:41 AM

I too am impressed. A few changes here and tweaks there and this game should be a great one.

jeff061 · 06-12-2005, 12:24 PM

Just seems to be identical the first, with nicer graphics. Guess it could be worse.

I've found out it's like source, there is a lot of recoil so either go to single shot or shoot in very short bursts. I've noticed when I do this, people die a lot faster.

TazFTW · 06-12-2005, 01:24 PM

Well, the sniper rifle is underpowered. 3 or 4 hits to take someone down.

I did recreate a Saving Private Ryan moment in single player. I was sniping from the crane, an enemy tank is trying to take the control point to the left. I snipe the machine gunner, the tank turret then swivels and elevates to point right at me. BOOM! No more sniping from the crane.

Kinda amazed that the turret can aim that high.

TazFTW · 06-12-2005, 11:25 PM

dola

Just played a game as commander and this feature is great. Using a satelite sweep or launching a UAV is great for recon and of course there's the fun of ordering an artillery strike. The problem is it is frustrating getting squads to follow your orders and having to repair you radar/artillery/comm station. Also when you comm, you don't notice anything around you, so I kept getting killed easily.

illinifan999 · 06-13-2005, 12:06 AM

How do you get into the commader feature? I know you apply for it, and when you get it accept it, but how do you use the artillery strikes, etc?

TazFTW · 06-13-2005, 12:29 AM

Same thing as being a squad leader. Default key is caps lock.
