GH5Forza3 COD4 MW2OP: Flashpoint 12 Month X-Live

Sh*t I'm Going To Be Broke For A While....

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Oh crap, thanx Dittoz, I had forgotten my Xbox Live get re-upped next month. Guess I need to start saving my lunch money so I have the $50 bucks in my account, just need to make sure it comes out on a pay week.

Hey MOD... you wanted to see review scores, check out this thread at the official community website.

Haha All the Czech sites are giving it low scores. Lol fuuking countryists.

I thought i should say that the AI can be piss stupid if you dont tell them what to do. Being squad leader you really have to be squad leader, cuz these guys will gladly take a bullet in the head if you havent told them what to do.

But if you tell them whats-what they do the job with deadly efficiency.My favorite maneuver is telling them to suppress and slowly advance.While i flank around the side and deliver Headshots to everyone, with that godly SCAR H(probably my favorite gun right now)

The missions are pretty open so you can complete them however you see fit. Sometimes what would cause a mission failed in other games in this one simply causes the objective to change slightly. i.e Infiltrate a fuel depot without alerting the enemy, if you do alert the enemy, the bravo team simply doesnt help you, and it becomes a much much harder mission.

I have to admit that this game can be very very hard if you arent used to the hardcore-ness, ive made some really silly mistake and had to start missions all over again.

I cant wait to finish the game so i can focus on making my own missions.The mission editor is deep enough to make any movie scene over, Im thinking with this mission editor ill keep playing this game till MW2, and even then ill probably keep playing it after once MW2 SP is finished.

The game also isnt particularly taxing on your system. With everything maxed out i get 60fps solid, minus a couple moments when the Helicopter does those pesky passes when it drops a little.and thats on a Q9550 ~ 3.2Ghz with a Core 216 ~ stock clocks

The review I've been waiting for finally hit:http://www.rockpapershotgun.co...ising/

I'll give it a pass. Singleplayer campaign is meh and I don't care for ultra-realistic multiplayer shooters. If I want to shoot at real players I'll boot up Quake Live (which is free to boot).

Sh*t I'm Going To Be Broke For A While....

This. There are too many games I really want this month for me to screw around with ones I am on the fence about.

[marlin29311]

My squadmate shot me with a rocket twice last night from behind. WTF.

Other than that, this game is pretty damn good so far. I like

Haven't tried multiplayer yet...

[x240xdrifter]

i looooooveeee this game. it is so much fun to play. Yes it has it bugs that im sure will get smoothed out (every new game out has its fair share of bugs for the first week) but its just great. Pisses me off to see alot hate on this game towards codemasters on their forums and facebook. I think they busted their a** and did a awesome job. Nothing could be worse then Socom:Confrontation. Remember how broken that game was? Kudos to Codemasters for making a game no one else could

[snwbrdr435]

f***ing all of mass is sold out same with NH wtf is up with that

My copy will arrive tomorrow

[x240xdrifter]

while i love this game, and a patch is coming soon, I am alittle PO'd that you cant free roam from what i heard. Why make such a huge map if you can't free roam, I pray to god they add the free roam and mission editor in DLC.

Console versions of OFP: DR doesn't come with the editor, just the PC versions. But they never mentioned anything about free roam on PC instead of console but if you have it for PC and it doesn't come with free roam and editor then Code Masters has to get their ish together...

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Finally got my copy this afternoon, am going through the campaign on experienced difficulty. have to say it's a lot harder than I had thought. Am kinda upset that you can't call in artillery or CAS as freely as I had thought, then again I am only on the second mission, hopefully you get more fire missions as you progress through.

I forgot to mention i have it on console. I just find it very odd they spent so much time making a huge map filled with vehicles and you cant explore it on consoles, which leads me to believe that misson editor will come to consoles eventually. I mean why on earth would you tell us it takes 9 hours to walk across when you cant even attempt to do it, its a great game, i love it, but i'm alittle let down on the fact

Its alot harder than i had anticipated it would be.

And yeah once you get further into the campaign they give you pretty much free reign over how you launch the Airstrikes.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

I'm thinking I should have started on Normal and then work my way up to Hardcore. I'll get back on it today and try to get through some more of the game. Apparently there are issues with people being able to get online for MP games especially on the consoles, whether it's because of the fact that they have it where you choose the host and not a dedicated server or all the rooms are filled. Either way I think a patch is in the works for a variety of things. Are any of you guys having issues or have any of you even tried out the MP side.

Oh anyone want try to work through the campaign on co-op, I can't take these retarded AI squads they give me. I hate trying to issue orders, especially in the middle of a firefight. I still haven't figured out the orders dial yet and it would be nice to play through with 3 human players who actually know how to not get killed.

[BusyBadger]

If I pick it up I'll let you know. I'm still debating getting it, or Alpha Protocol and then there's Forza 3 and Assassin's Creed 2 on the near horizon.

Still, it would be cool to play with a full human squad that knew what's what.

[snwbrdr435]

I love this game even though the grass is flat haha. It reminds me a little of ghost recon before it went all high tech with the GRAW series. Sniping in this game is awesome havent really got to play that much in all but will be later tonight.

You have 360 CW? Hit me up, GT is in the sig...I think my friend is going to pick it up today finally, so we could possibly play tomorrow night or something...cause I want to play with people too...if I have someone else die because they're running in the open to heal someone, or if I get shot in the back with an RPG again I'm gonna flip...

[snwbrdr435]

Ok so now that i have gotten to place this game a for awhile heres somethings that need to change.

Ranked matches the host can't kick anyone. Thats bulls*** last night i got stuck on a server where some mother f***er wouldnt hit ready so we couldnt start the game. Also i run out of ammo very quickly and by no means do i waste ammo im usually a sniper and sit back and pick all the idiots off. Seems like i only get 3 clips.

Welcome to reality buddy, as a sniper you don't go out into the field loaded down with a ton of ammo like a standard rifleman or machine gunner. You go out with just enough ammo to get the job done.

As far as the servers are the servers are concerned, this is one of the biggest gripes (followed closely by stupid AI squad mates). Apparently CM is working on this issue and we should have a patch in the next week or 2.

Overall I'm highly disappointed by the number of bugs, glitches, and the broken MP feature. There is a thread on Codemasters Flashpoint board that is 69+ pages long that is all the bugs, glitches, and otherwise broken features on the game. I'd type up a review on here but I just can't bring myself to sit here for an hour ranting about all the broken parts in the game.

Marlin, my GT is in my sig, send me a friend request, though I think we are already friends on there, if not no big deal, I'll add you. I have yet to even play an Annihilation game b/c I can never seem to connect to one.

[snwbrdr435]

Oh another thing, no invites on ranked matches kinda lame. I know you don't bring a ton of ammo in when your a sniper, most of my shots are kills. It sucks to get a bunch of kills still not be noticed and not be able to go pick up more ammo at a checkpoint like your spawn or something.

[BusyBadger]

I'm glad I waited on this game. I'd really like to play it to check the realism and whatnot, but I'll be waiting until they get that 69 pages of bugs & glitches trimmed down to 20 pages or so.

[x240xdrifter]

Our report to the dev team may explain how the fanbase feels about news updates, DLC and future patches. Change static camera for in vehicles, customized weapon loadouts, AI improvements, expanding PvP matches, changing to free roam, server issues and mission editors for consoles - these topics were where we saw most feedback. Understand that we're trying to keep the dialogue going and that we're hearing you! Thanks!

I have alot of faith in this game and thoses who enjoy the game regardless of bugs and wait for the DLC will be rewarded. If all this gets included this will easily be my favorite game of all time Pray that codemasters doesnt let us down

[Chaotic_Warlord]

If they charge us for the first DLC then I'm going to be pissed. I can understand any future DLC having a charge attached to it, but the first one should be a freebie. Also I can understand a map pack or two, but they need to release more weapons or vehicles. I've been in a combat zone and the number of vehicles in an AO at any given time is significantly higher than what they are showing in this game. Especially if it's a Mechanized unit, There would be waaaay more tanks, waaaay more aircraft support, and waaaaaaaay more Humvees. I'd also like it if we could utilize enemy vehicles in the campaign. I'm on mission 5 right now (where you rescue the downed pilots) and I'd love it if I could use the AA tanks to take down this damned gunship that has wiped out both of my Humvees, all of my squad and all of Echo squad.

I do like the custom load outs idea, but it's not realistic, so I don't see it happening. Otherwise everyone would be going through story mode with a .50 sniper rifle and a machine gun. I can understand if they would give us the choice between the various optics for the M4 or M16, or if you want more smokes or frags.

[snwbrdr435]

Brandon, i put an anti tank round threw that helicopter when it went to drop off its troops. I too will be pissed if they make us pay to fix the bugs

[Chaotic_Warlord]

HoHoHo looks like we'll be getting a patch tomorrow, hopefully it corrects the MP side of the game and the fact that the allied AI is beyond stupid and the enemy AI is immortal. Seriously though, I am looking forward to getting through this game sans bugs/glitches.

I will be on most of the night tomorrow, so if anyone wants to get a party together with me, hit me up I'll be on around 1800 hrs (6PM for you civilians) EST.

[jdshift]

I must say overall this game is solid with a few minor issues with AI on both sides, picked up this badboy yesterday and been having a blast. This game is pretty intense because of the realism it brings to the table....the damage is crazy which brings way more strategy into play with this title.

The one thing that upset me was how I beat level 3 last night........but then started it up earlier today to find myself starting at a checkpoint in level 1. WTF!!?? Oh well, CO-OP seems like I'll be able to take care of that and get levels knocked out with humans and no AI.

[x240xdrifter]

Bout time you got this JD! we need some NiCo CO-OP action!!!

[jdshift]

I agree buddy this will be a nice fix till MW2.....hit me up for some co-op.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

There is still no patch, no news about said patch, and now they are being shady about their pricing plan for DLC's, yeah I'm done with this game for a while, CM has all but robbed us at gun point, they released a broken game, made us pay to be Beta Testers, still haven't fixed any of the issues, and the MP is just not worth the wait you have to endure to even find a match. I'm playing FM3 and when COD:MW2 comes out I'll be playing that. Maybe in the Spring I'll try playing this again, that is if I don't use it as a trade in towards MW2.
