Just a few questions? How are maps, 9v9? multi seem rather small to me. unless map size justifies it.
???Co-op??? 2 players ?
I'm not sure what NOT THAT BAD means? Compaired to what? LIVER!!!!A trip to the DMV.
Opinions are something everyone has,Good or simular taste not so much.

Game looks great i have to admit! I'll eventually check out the SP. Regarding MP our problem is that we're used to playing it on dedicated servers with higher numbers, so this feels like a step backwards for us. But it is a console port and that's how it is. And therefore it probably won't be as popular long term here, but it can still be fun with friends i think.

Look at the video I posted a little ways above. He definitely unlocked the nuke by way of mowing everyone down with the Chopper Gunner.

Sorry correction again, care package rewards AC130, Pavelow, Airstrikes, etc. DONT count. But if you generate enough points to get a chopper gunner than it does.

Have you ever pirated anything? If not then please don't make baseless assumptions on things that you haven't experienced for yourself. Most people who pirate use the pirated game as a demo. If they like it, they go out and buy the real thing. If they don't, they just uninstall and move on. Most games of today have below average demos for the average gamer to enjoy.

So what do you want them to do, waste money just to see it's a game they don't prefer? Or see them download it, love it, and buy it the next day?

Last time I checked that is still illegal. I never said World at War sucks. I love that game. The release was dissappointing when everyone saw the flaws it had in MP. I still think WaW had a great SP. MP is great now but the release was highly anticipated and it had problems. I don't think people should make comments about a game they have never played. Don't get me wrong I have done it to games that I have ended up liking. Piracy is still illegal even if you plan to buy the game if you like it. No, I haven't pirated anything because I only buy games that I think I will like or I know I will like if it sucks then oh well.

Exactly people should do the same when it comes to games.

Using your logic: Have you ever tried murder or rape? Please don't make baseless assumptions about the people who have.

For what it's worth, this game would be an absolute nightmare on a 50-player dedicated server. The killstreaks are incredibly powerful and it is possible to have more than one going at the same time (I've seen a Harrier, an airstrike, a Predator missile attack, and an AC-130 going at once in one particularly crazy match), although at least you get points for shooting the damn things down now, along with actual equipment to do so (AT4, Javelin, Stinger, etc.). The match-ending tactical nuke would be especially retarded on a packed 50 player server. If you're on a densely-packed, target-rich server (25v25) you could easily rack up a 25 killstreak with Chopper Gunner and bring on the nuke. It'd be retarded.

I thought 6v6 / 9v9 would be ridiculously boring, but even on the gigantic maps (Ruins, I think... it's a map set in some open fields of Chernobyl) it plays really well. I still won't forgive IW for screwing over the PC version with matchmaking garbage... but I can see how the smaller matches balance out the powerful airstrikes and such.

I do, however, miss the mouse-and-keyboard combo.

Awesome Gill, thanks! I figured the 9v9 limit would be fine... I enjoyed Team Tactical on CoD4 on my Xbox360. I'm also happy about the fact that the party chat system is disabled in this game. Yes, I'll be muting more people, but at least I'll be hearing the team players once again!

**tHa_KhAn** · 11-16-2009, 03:03 PM

I've had a blast on the 360 version. Much better if you play with people you know on one team, but there are a lot of people willing ot work together.

The Nuke is kind of a disappointment. I have seen it in person once and while yes we over matched the other side, it actually was amazing the guy got the streak. It's more of a "You let me get 25 kills in a row, you deserve to lose" reward. The Care Packages are great, I love randomly getting an AC-130 for 4 kills.

Reading this reminded of that Boondocks episode where they went to the movie theater and watch that anti-piracy ad. Where the guy mugs an old lady...

**jmaker** · 12-07-2009, 11:24 PM

I almost kind of hate to say it but the MP of this game is damn fun. I bought the game a week ago. I admit it, I jumped on the anti-IW/boycott bandwagon. I hated the fact they removed dedicated servers. But after playing the game I agree with Hawk in that the only thing that is wrong about the game is not having dedicated servers.

The matchmaking process has been pretty smooth so far. I just click what game type I want or just choose Mosh Pit to mix it up, and the system finds a game for me pretty fast. I think I've only had 2 rounds that had lag. I haven't encountered any cheaters yet. And I've only had 1 host migration that lasted 5-7 seconds.

If anyone still wants to play this game, but continues to hold off out of principle, then I say get over it. I had false indignation. If you didn't know it wasn't a dedicated server that you were playing on, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference as far as the game play goes.

Just curious, what happens to TKers since there are no admins?
And is it possible to nubetube or grenade spam the enemy's spawn right from the start of the round?

**jmaker** · 12-08-2009, 06:37 PM

Not sure about TK'ers. I haven't seen that yet.

Second question is most likely no. I haven't played all the maps, but they do seem larger, and from what I can recall about the ones I have played, there's no direct line from one spawn to the other.

**Avs** · 12-08-2009, 07:54 PM

There is no TKing except in Hardcore modes. In all but 1 of the hardcore modes, friendly fire is redirected at the shooter so you cannot TK I believe.

The only issue is the occasional hacker that rolls around.

**peardog** · 12-20-2009, 07:48 AM

Not to add another redundant thread post (but I'm gonna!).. I was a big holdout on this game..probably because of the "consolized" game play.. The server deal didn't help matters either.. But after hearing raving reviews on the game and knowing what IW and the gang did with Call Of Duty (1 is my fav)..( which I think set the standard for scripted action games..and actually let me feel some type of emotion in a shooter.. ) i jumped on it..
Well, once again the plot and scripted action is just.. WOW!...Once again they have brought a game out that you pokes at you emotionally as you do all of your diiry work. It reminds me of going to a theater and seeing a great movie..just to be disappointed in the end while walking out because it's over..
I won't talk multiplayer just because I won't be there.. but the SINGLE PLAYER is beautiful and if you can, grab it.. just for that..

**ChiefBoatsRet** · 12-21-2009, 01:51 AM

I enjoyed the single player, it was a fast and furious 4.5 hours.. then it was done. Now it is gone from my machine, like Dragon Rising ... in the pile of ok games. Back to Arma 2.
