To slow. Got involved with a squad online and cant put it down.

Probably my favorite game as its a huge break from the normal shooters and RPG's. Yeah I thought it was way to slow at first and was really disgusted on it at first impression. Now 1 month later its basically the game I play online. R6V, Gears yes they are cool but this is a huge break from those games in the since of strategy and overall customization. Playing online with a squad of up to 6 people on your team is intense!!! Most of my squad traded me over all thier old parts or copies that they had so I got down and dirty with the whole hound design rather quickly. Man I have spent hours in the garage fine tuning and tweaking on hounds till my eyes were bleeding! The game is setup just perfect all the way around when it comes to building mechs so that your NEVER satisfied with what you have built. You always want more to it. The game is tweaked just right so that you cant add that extra fire power forcing you to literally take up one of the roles in the game. Sniper,Soldier,heavy gunner, defender, etc.
While the maps lands can be crappy looking at times in the graphics department most of them are a very cool site to behold. Especially levels with water in them. Nice sense of depth in the land as well as you can see very far into the maps. I love watching my four legged defender go trampling across the map leaving footprints in the ground and watching other smaller hounds cringe and run at the very site of its heavy weapons. Explosions are some of the coolest Ive ever seen! Well Im sure most who owned a 360 when this came out have already made thier minds up last july but to you who havent played it yet please give it a go. Its intial impression is very bad but you have to get online to enjoy this game. Single player is basically training for online play. Online can easily sweep hours away. Im glad I found this title and a squad. Easily one of the best XBL games Ive played to date.
