Depending on how much you want the game u may have seen this review by a man affiliated with tripwire (he states he is neutral). Cool review that mainly lists features.

He was shot in the screenshot I saw.

It doesn't say what killed you "exactly", it just shows a picture of either a bullet, a grenade, a tank, a mushroom cloud (artillery), bayonnet, or the butt of a rifle if I remember correctly. So you can't tell with certainty if a sniper shot you or a pistol if you're hit from behind...

I can see how this thread is going to get off-topic LOL.

Carry on.

Nice.
Great movie.
Best line in a Francis Ford Coplla movie ever. Period.

aculle01 gets free headshot, forgot to tell him that. Knife kill w/e.

**WhiskeySix** · 03-09-2006, 09:12 PM

i did notice that there are different sized bullets... when it says name1 ==> name2

wonder if that represents the caliber of the weapon?

triath · 03-09-2006, 10:19 PM

Yes it does.

Dys isn't actually "affiliated" with Tripwire. He was a tester about 2 years back before he rotated out to Okinawa with the USMC. He got home a couple of months back and we let him in to the Beta - he was always one of the hyper-critical ones, so interesting to see his opinion!

Very cool review, thanks for sharing.

Good seller review. Best one i've seen but to call it "unbiased" is a bit of a stretch. Sounded a little bit more like an advertisement than an "honest" review of a game.

It is very enthusiastic

But if you read it closely, it has quite a bit of objective and supported statements. Maybe it's just a dang good game! And he did provide a disclaimer of involvement, which lets the reader decide on the level of hyperbole provided

See my previous comment - or chat with him on IRC. He's already bitching about the next set of "improvements" we should make
