Morgoth

Well we knew for a while that Bio is working on a multiplayer game(s). They also opened a Customer Service Office in Ireland. Hope there will be some disclosure at E3.

Hey morgoth, were you playing stealthy? What's your build? Is it truly possible to go through the entire game without killing anyone as was billed by Obsidian? Forget that. You'll have to shoot dudes. A lot. No way around. And yes, I maxed out Stealth. Good to know, I was about to max stealth out... I suppose I'll keep maxing the rifle Nah, there's plenty opportunity to use your stealth skills. Just don't expect to rely on it once hell breaks lose and 10 guys are after you!

Oh come on, it doesn't really look that bad. Some of the locations (especially Rome) look even outright good. It's just that some of the enemies look a bit dated. Some animations (like sneaking behind a dude and take him out) look good, while others (Mike crouch run) look outright stupid. But hey, that's not a deal breaker, really.

Strange I never had any problems with the mouse. Using the mouse for hacking was a bit wonky, but feasable. Maybe try turning Vsynch off?

To make a WW1 TW game happen, they'd have to change the complete TW formula, which personally I think is really about time...

You can move them seperately. One after another.

Seems like the American press really does hate the game.

Yeah, that's the only thing I hate about AP. The hacking. I recommend putting some points into Sabotage, because the hacking terminals at the end of the game are getting really fast. A real pain in the ass.

Hmm, interesting. That explains why it took so long to put the game together. Nevertheless, the overall package is still a good game.

Both AP and ME use the Unreal Engine 3. By the time Bio and Obsidian licensed it, Gears of War was the only UE3 game available. So it's logical for both to use it's similar take-cover/shoot-people-in-the-face mechanics. It was the new **** some years ago.

I wouldn't call AP buggy. More like a bit glitchy. Nothing gamebreaking.

For helicopters, you have to rely on rocket launchers. They are spread around the map. As for person bosses, I can't really say. I only put my points into the Assault Rifle to do some real damage. Also, you often need to pick enemies up from afar, so pistols might not be best suited for that. I barely used my pistol with silencer, but unless you're not close up and aim for the head, it doesn't do much. But as I said, I only put 3 points into pistol.

Yeah, there's definately a lot gun fighting going on. You can't avoid it. I specialised in Assault Rifles, because SubM's seemed to be puny.

Just finished my first playthrough. Overall, very good game, but the end was dissatisfying. What happened with Mina? Sie? Sis? I hoped to learn more from them.

Wow, that's really harsh. Seems like that jerk didn't know how to play. There are some issues, yes, but they can be easily overcome. Hope people aren't put off by these kind of reviews. AP needs to sell!

I'm about to finish the game and overall it's pretty good. Level Design is very well made, and very diverse. Hate the hacking though. I'd give it a 8.5/10

Yeah, it's a total deal breaker. I suggest stop playing now and return the game.

Okay, problem solved. I had to use the SPACE key for the left string. Don't know why it said USE key though.

I'm stuck at the first Hacking terminal. When I find the right string, I use LMB and that works. But for the left string, I have to use the [use] key, but that does nothing. No matter whether I change the key, it doesn't react.

Total War counter now at 1824. They're playing games with us. They probably go back into the 16th century for a Shogun remake.

Mine got dispatched today, so tomorrow is AP time.

Which are the first 2? Just curious. See for yourself: http://store.steampowered.com/ Bad Company 2 MWF2 Stimulus Pack

The Total War counter is now at 1870. Franco-Prussian war maybe?

Wow, that sucks. I should get my copy tomorrow or Friday.
