As a long time player of AA:2, I am thoroughly... and i mean thoroughly disappointed in the new release (AA3).

Only 4 maps, already no more updates (as of 2011), and performance is ABYSMAL. Play the pipeline map and see what i mean. Even with 1280x720 res and all details on low there is a big problem with stuttering. And this is on my AMD 6400+ 3.2ghz dual core and nvidia GTX 260.

Also they must of had a 4 year old write the net code. It is almost impossible to kill an enemy when he is running in front of you; you can only kill him when he is still -- and things like running and looking in your scope have a split-second delay as if it's waiting from a response from the server before it will show the scope raising to your screen.

Everything is just so sloppy and clunky. A user score of 5.9 (at the time of writing) is far too generous!!!

  I'm a great fan of tactical-military games. Be it the adrenaline pumped CQB of S.W.A.T. or the more tactical yet tense approach on R6, or even the stealthy take on combat from Splinter Cell, if it's tactical, I've played... Read Full Review
