I wanted to like this game after reading all the glowing reviews.
Graphics are laughable whoever said they are a little under farcry is nutz. The water effects do looks nice. Textures are bland as ever. Everything is low poly and it should be to support 150+ people.
Sound is laughable most gunfire is unrealistic most guns sound like a rubber band snaping againsd a tin can. Or like someone tossing rocks at an empty barrel.
Now those dont really matter if the game is fun but this is rediclious. You die in 1-2 hits at most. Most of the time its instagib you just keel over from enemy fire from some unknown direction. A lot of times you keel over right after you spawn due to spawn sniper campers.
Vehicle's are absoutly laughable. The physics of the vehicles are totaly out of wack. Not to mention the collision dection. Ok grab a vehicle drive out of town but dont take the roads just drive through the buildings cause you can its a little bumpy but you can go right through.
Helicopters get blown up 20 feet above camp takeoff due to spawn campers. You die after spawn due to spawn campers(snipers). You get into battle and die due to 1-2 hits from bullets. Its hard to enjoy a good battle when 80%+ of your time is trying to get back to the battle. When you finally get to the battle bam your instagibed. You think ok ill go again bam same thing. Repeat add nausium. If you do last a while its cause your being ultra carefull which is not fun beause that involves crawling ultra slowley as not to be a bigger target ooh but then when your crawling your total sniper fodder. Not to mention when your running your total sniper fodder cause majority play snipers. Speaking of snipers if one shoots you in chest, head, arm, leg, finger, ear, or toe you die.
The battle is fun dieing instantly to one or two bullets is not. It would be a real real fun game if you could actually stay in the battle for enough time to have some fun. This game is all about big battles tons of people shooting running and a hail of bullets which by the way if you catch one or two you die and it isnt hard to get shot twice when your fighting 50+ other people, in fact its way to easy.
Thank god I dident buy this game but it came free with my new video card.
If they made it harder to die it would be loads more fun. Give snipers one hit kills for headshots only. Give ground forces options for kevlar and helmets. Dont let oposing forces camp the spawn and kill instantly after spawn and blow full helo's right after they takeoff.
Its way more frustrating then fun.

Had some bold words on the cover but didn't deliver. Bad Graphix, and not enought vehicles.
