Wolverines

I went ahead and got it last night (for pc of course). I only played multiplayer, but played for about 3 hours. Here are some of my thoughts:

- The lack of the dedicated servers sucks. There is no getting around that. That being said, I was only "migrated" from the host dropping 2 times during 3 hours, and only had on experience with lag. I think this would be less of a problem if when we played, we started by someone hosting and then everyone joined them.

+ Being on steam, it was easy to find red and join his game. Only problem here is that there are so many people playing, every match is full. So if you want to join someone else, you might as well both disconnect and rejoin at same time or one of you host. Kind of annoying but the ease of finding people makes this a plus. I did notice that it is possible to start a "party" . Makes me think we can play as an group like this. Eager to try that.

- I suck balls at sniping.

+ The game is beautiful. It is absolutely hands down the most realistic looking fps I have ever played. Its more colorful and less "brown" that COD4.

+ The maps are well thought out and most of the environment is interactive. One map is on top of skyscraper, on in an airport.

+ The achievements. I am an achievement whore, the sheer amount of different achievements is staggering. "50 headshots with a submachinegun while prone" etc etc. Also, at the end of the match it gives you these badges if you did something special for the match "most headshots" "best kill/death ratio" "lowest altitude" etc. You also get additional achievement-titles that you can use for your call sign. There are TONS of these.  It not immediately apparent how to unlock them, but you get ones like "Firepower" with an image of a gun, "vouyer" with and image of a girl in a bikini.... tons of these, and when you kill someone, it shows them your name, your rank, your title. Very cool, it adds another level of depth to multiplayer that brings that crack like addiction.

+ Customizable killstreak rewards. c-130 gunship, patriot missile (you control), nuclear strike, stealth bomber, harrier strike, tons more, all customizable. You unlock them and equipt which ones you want.
There are lots and lots of additional extras that make this a lot of fun.  All in all its really worth the 60 bucks.

I agree for the most part. The maps might be a tad small. It seemed like I would spawn and take 5 steps BAM....dead.

So are you saying I should spend $60 on this or not?

yeah it's worth it. I am just really bad at these games so I think I screw myself

It is worth the 60 easy. I didnt have the problem that red had, might have just been bad luck. Get it, you will not regret it.

Is anyone else playing on xbox? I'm loving the game so far

FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU BOUGHT IT ON XBOX????? REALLY?

Time to vote UN-KNOW off the island.

When you were at the store and you had the choice between the xbox version and the pc version, did you ask yourself "WWVD?" Obviously not.

Kinda disappointed here as well.

I'll go cry in my pizza.

I'd say the single player is worth the 60 bucks. The maps are great and the game play is fantastic. You get to use a mini gun right at go, climb a mountain with ice axes, drive a snowmobile and kill all kinds of things. as varg said, best and well thought out fps i've ever played

AGREED.  The campaign is fantastic!  I'll just say this:  There's a level called "Wolverines!".

Second

Look me up for Xbox my tag is Madbunny275. Now that makes two of us  >:(

I'm buying it for xbox as well.

Rando, i was planning my trip to meet you. You just ruined it.

LOL I didn't buy it Paul did <3

Why does he hate us so?

BTW I am planning to get the PC version this weekend.  Was gonna go tonight but I need to get out of the house for a bit tonight.

i wish i could get it for both, most of my friends don't have good PC's, if its gonna last a long time i might get it for both so i can party with you guys and maby show you how to akimbo some silenced mp5's like a pro

I just finished the game last night, without giving anything away - great story line and even if the game didn't have a mp component I'd say it was totally worth the purchase.
