You know the old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it!" That pretty much applies to the fight mechanic in the game. I enjoyed both of the previous games, and ill definitely enjoy this one, if I have the time for it!

the games everyone has been listing that use dedicated servers have been on PC's. The article mostly revolved around the consoles and that it was impossible to implement. However, on the flip side, it should not have been impossible to implement dedicated servers for the PC because; a. people can buy a server to host the games, b. Activision got lazy and didn't allow Infinity Ward to implement the system and now that the tech is here and its cheap they are implementing it. I see the possibility of a yearly subscription or something for COD in the future if this keeps up.

All that and for 30 dollars, sounds good to me. I'm glad I didn't buy the slingshot expansion because it will be included in this version. Its a shame for the people who did buy it, because now they are actually paying extra!

Game looks great, looks more like a prequel to enemy unknown. I actually would have liked to see it as an fps. The way 2k handles story and fps abilities, it would have been great. They would probably have made it a fps with tactical abilities which is what xcom is known for. Its truly a shame they were forced to change it but I do hope this game does great.

Game looks good. Hopin they lose the lag issues that cropped up during the last two expansions from bf3 and im sold. Im also hopin that if they offer a premium option that it won't be as expensive as before and will be available earlier so that I won't have to spend do much on it! As for the lag, the game is practically unplayable on local servers where I have a ping of under 20 and am playing with 100+ ping guys and they have scores of 50 to 60 kills with less than 10 deaths and when I shoot them my shots don't register till my clip is gone and im dead in an instant or im dead before I can even react. It's truly a shame! I just went right back to plain Jane COD and have had less issues there and more fun!

I just love how angry some people get over this stuff! I was only stating an opinion and its actually proven that low customer ratings on a game always result in these types of things. Even game spot noted in the expansions that its all basically the same gameplay. I liked the game, don't get me wrong, but its all the same theme! Someone could use the COD metaphor but at least the settings change and gameplay elements if not the other gripes players have. I like relic, but their games after a time get boring!

My issue with the game, I don't own it but played the demo, is that its pretty much just another expansion of the first title. There is nothing really new, minor game affecting elements but over all this company is literally hooked on WW2 themed strategy games, when not making DOW themed ones, and to me its gotten boring. I thought the changes would have been good but it was boring playing the demo and I immediately uninstalled it. I never bought the other expansions because the original pretty much summed up the eastern front of the war and while the expansions played on other sides of it but it was all the same. I had hoped that COH would have made the jump to modern tech with all the equipment and such being used but again nope. There are plenty of factions today to create a convincing single player game and plenty of action in mp but I guess not. Plus since many on here don't like the game, Im foreseeing the developer going through rearranging and downsizing from this, as is the usual thing that happens with failure.

Origin at one point was good, now it seems I can barely play my games on there at all with out really bad lag. Not sure if its me or the system but I play steam games like COD and while I still have lag, its not as bad as on BF3 where every game was practically unplayable, plus the file size after all the expansions went to like 30 gigs, I only have a 120 gig ssd and 1tb hdd and when I installed the game to the hdd the game would load 10 times slower and still had just as many problems as before and from all that I have on the ssd, it practically filled my ssd up after all the downloads and still laggy as could be. Yet, I would see guys with super high pings getting 100+ scores. I just quit and will never play or use origin again!

Well, the mech fighting looks interesting and I would like to see how that will be handled in MP. I doubt that the game will let you instantly call and remove your mech in the game, and I doubt that they would give all the players instant access. I see the MP going on multiple levels, ie having a certain location(s) being captured to allow limited access to the suits like say 1-3 players at a time so that it will keep the teams constantly mobile and not turtling a single location. I can also see them making either a non mech selection of MP games and full mech only MP games too. It actually opens the playing field when you have those options, its like how BF3 was towards the end of its cycle with the vehicle only game modes. I hope the game includes in game speech tech so that players can communicate effectively and not either rely on an external option or push button only type of thing.

Yeah, I remember when BLOPS went cross platform and out of the gate the consoles had an advantage due to the horrible lag and latency issues PC players had while consoles had none what so ever. Im so glad they removed that stuff, here's hoping they make the type of game MW2 was supposed to be!
