Angarak Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Anyone here got this yet? Talk about misleading advertising, CodeMasters should be fined for misleasing the public with 'ingame footage' that was not REAL ingame footage and heavily photoshop'd screenshots. The visuals are pathetic for a 2009 game. The quote "As close to war as you ever want to get" is laughable, it is not a milsim like the ArmA series (though they'd like you to think so). The game seems to be a cross between Ubisofts Ghost Recon and Novalogics Delta Force series (visually looking more like the latter!). Gripes so far: :: The environment is not as destructible as they made out (you cannot destroy a small tree in a tank for example). :: The vehicle physics are not realistic, drive over a big blade of grass and you'll flip! :: You cant move your head whilst driving a vehicle. :: You cant lean. :: The AI cant shoot a barn door from 5 yards. :: No dedicated server files for MP, no MP anti-cheat protection and no cd-key on release (a pirates delight arrrgggh matey!). :: In MP, if you get shot it takes several minutes to bleed out, thats several minutes stuck on the floor unable to do anything...unless (a) a medic saves you, or (b) a colleague puts you out of your misery! This game uses the EGO engine, the same game engine as CodeMasters DIRT and GRID titles. The EGO engine is built around P2P networking, therefore it would appear there will be no dedicated server package released! Apart from the above, its not a total waste of space, the gameplay can be rather enjoyable, even if the AI does do some retarded things now and then. One thing is certain though, this isnt the game everyone thought it would be. Disclaimer: Written from a PC point of view. Im sure this is the best thing since sliced bread to console users, however PC users expect more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 got it yesterday and agree with everything you say this was supposed to be the bench mark for WAR SIMS, too many buttons to remember .and the AI were supposed to be cleverer than me there not ! still only had it a day so it might get better as i learn the gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
