Why's it the shittiest game ever? The SP sucks baws but MP rocks... As for return - if you got it from EB they should still let you return it, they'll just sell it second hand anyway. |

Yeah it not the shittest game ever, just not for me. Don't mind cod, but this is nothing like it. It seems so disorganized I never know what's going on, so I guess it does a good job of making you feel like your in war. The ui is shit though, can't stand it. |

I'm not usually one to try and convince someone a game is good - I like space giraffe after all - but I would suggest playing a good few rounds before deciding. It does seem disorganized at first, but once you get used to the flow of the maps a bit it makes more sense. Does depend a lot on your team as well. I've had some great matches where people seem to be working together, others where everyone is doing there own thing. You get majorly punished for the latter though, ie lose lose lose. At the end of the day though, if military shooters ain't your thing it probably won't grow on you, and that's fine. Halos out very soon.... |

Yeah what Blue said, you gotta play it a bit more to delve into it either with SP first and then MP after or whatever, it took me a bit of time to get used to cos of the way the map is etc and markers to capture etc. I actually like the UI its clean and simple, doesn't obtrude too much on the gameplay (guessing its similar on console). Also like this compared to COD as I preferred Medal of Honor for its atmosphere how it makes it a challenge to see people which is like real life I suppose. that dirty dusty gritty feel to it. You should be able to take it back, I fail to see how the code would be a problem, you just say its within 7 days and you didn't like it, thats their policy so its on them really. not your fault if you don't like it. |

Man I sucked more than usual in those last games. Just couldnt get my head in the game. The few times I did manage to get someone in my sights, I'd fire half a clip into them and still get killed. Even without that I would still have sucked though. |

I may have finally fixed my timeout issue. Disabled UPnP in the router. Played 6-8 matches without a crash, considering all i could get out of it b4 was a single length of one match practically. I actually enjoy the CQ maps, they make me change things up a bit. Big maps will generally see me always go the sniper. But then on these maps i'll switch to support or go recon with a shotty :p |

Yeah give it some time Wolf, it will grow on you, have a couple of games with friends, next time you and I are on at the same time I will give you a few hints. ![]() Oh and its harder on newer people than COD, the first weapons you get are ok, but you unlock much better ones later on, oh and put a sight on your gun, I find it alot easier than iron sights as the maps tend to be more long distance than close combat. And on the matter on if I will be playing this or COD when it comes out the answer is I WONT BE BUYING COD!! And for me who has owned every COD that is a huge statement, I just prefer this gameplay than the rush of COD. |

So whats it like on 360, out of interest? How big do the maps feel, does 24 players seem like enough? |

Maps feel huge if you have to hoof it on foot, 24 players is still plenty. When your in a firefight you really don't take much notice about how many soldiers are around you, all you want to know is where did that bullet come from and how do I get to cover It might not look as good as on PC but its more about the gameplay rather than the graphics and the gameplay is awesome! If you run out in the open then you will more likely get shot. The only downside of the xbox version than the PC version is connecting to empty servers, for some reason you cant join them, hopefully it gets fixed. But when you jump on one they fill up so quickly, trying to get more than 6 players together in the same game is very difficult but with alot of patience it can be done. |

I find playing on servers with less players boring, ranging from 12-24, obviously depending on map size. 32 isn't too bad so long as its full but if you play on the larger (forget the name now) capture the points maps (not rush) on PC theres just not enough people to find and pick off, I thought it'd be better to level up sniper or certain weapons but theres 4 people in jets/choppers so thats removed those guys on the ground some in tanks and the odd one scattered around. However playing team death matches or just death matches in general is probably more suited to 12-24 people, I've not yet bothered playing them at all since, thats all I ever played on COD, and I prefer vehicles added into the mix, specially when theres the A10 Warthog ripping its chain guns overhead. |

Finally got my SV98 back Just need to get my bipod back for it now Definitely prefer it over the starting semi auto rifles you get that seem to take 4 shots to the body to kill someone. Although i did get 3 kills in 3 secs with it last night due to some nice consecutive headshots. Love it when a jeep load of ppl pull up at a capture point and sit there or when a tank pulls up and the engineer jumps out for some repair jobs

Jets suck with mouse. And i hate the chopper controls - "throttle"... Grrr. I'm gonna set my stick up. How the hell do you fire flares though, that's my question... Any answers? |

Man that browser based shit is fucked up, Im not even going to bother using the voice feature of it, I tried with you Blitz earlier, while it worked ok, midway through the game my gun disappeared, then I got alt tabbed out, only to have "media player" crash or give some shitty error "mplayer.exe" or something like that and then the game lost sound, froze as I was shooting you then my PC crashed and rebooted. After which my SSD wasn't enabled anymore. Talk about shitty game and setup they use with this web based crap. Not had as much trouble with a game as I have this one, and it only happened since we hooked up a party and voice to chat. |

Its easy with mouse and KB for that. as for flares you press X unless you changed it, and you have to unlock them from a few kills in the vehicles. |

Yeh need to unlock them first Blue, doesn't take to long to do. Then in the customization window, select them in the air vehicle tab Yeh the browser shit is getting annoying, even in the typing thing your msgs wouldn't come up unless i minimized the window and clicked on it again. Didn't have any problems with using voice though |

Well, Flight sticks don't work though, you can't customize joystick setup and while it recognizes the 360 controller it won't recognize any sticks. My thrustmaster HOTAS won't work, I did a quick search of the forums and seems its widespread. If you disable all other game controllers it works possibly someone said, but that means uninstalling my razor drivers for keypad and keyboard. Fuck. That. Starting to get the hang of chopper flight at least. Shouldn't take long to unlock flares now, should have started flying straight off though before everyone had unlocked SAM's for the engineer.... On a separate note, is it just me or is every game lagging more. I've been on a few servers I haven't been on before so that may be it, but it just seems Ike every game today has been leggy to varying degrees. Also, I'm getting more graphics glitches than I was before, nothing major but it's noticeable. |

I get green flickering occasionally but not constant, only seems certain maps and if I'm near an object like wall/tree on certain maps. But yeah yesterday was laggier than usual what with the servers dropping more frequently. I can manage to fly the choppers fine and jets with the mouse/kb combo but sometimes in the chopper its like you get hit and it spazzes out and flys into the ground almost immediately whether its a mix between lag and some response issues.. sometimes its not as bad and you can recover from a 40% damage hit but the odd occasion it just freaks out and you plummet sideways into objects |
