I'd get it if my xbox was not broke. Got to wait for the pc verson.

mbrithoms · Mar 16, 2005

the gfx in the Pc version are absolutely gash! I have to frequently poke myself in the eye with a spoon every so often to relieve them of the terribly low texture resolution

I think the PC version must be better. Its hard to aim on PC, i cant imagine how hard it must be with a controller pad..

really?, its that bad

Agreed h00dlum, this game is really great.

I was very sceptical against this game myself, and see what happened.

The AI on both your team mates and the enemies are good, and for once your team mates can actually KILL the enemy (if the enemy however isn't behind cover) unlike other games that you take 95% off all the kills.

If you complain about the graphics in h00dlum’s screenshots, you should see the game in motion. It's so much better when actually playing the game.
The gloom effect isn’t over-used in the game so it's fine with me.

The sounds are extremely good, if not the best thing in the game. They got the weapon sounds almost perfect, especially the MG42 gunfire.

The animations (on the characters) are so so, it's better than CoD though.

Well overall, the game is very good. It’s much funnier than CoD and much harder. I really recommend it if you like WW2 FPS games.

how does a demo do any good coming out 2-3 weeks after the damn game comes out? what the f*ck is up with game companies releasing game demos so long after the game... it's already done, take a damn level out, package it in an exe and put it on the web....wtf

halflifeguy · Mar 16, 2005

can anybody answer my question?

OmegaX · Mar 16, 2005

H00dlum do you happen to be part of the pirating group called hoodlum?

Way more fun to play than "run ´n gun" CoD.

Is BiA the new king of WWII FPS's?

We'll find out soon enough.

It kind of is time to get a DVD drive. But, if you don't want to, you can always use Direct2Drive. http://www.direct2drive.com/productpages/hill30.aspx
You get a free UBISOFT game with it too.

no it's not, b/c they made it on ****in dvd. I was so looking forward to buying it, but instead had to pick up WoW instead... ****in gearbox.

So if your graphics card wasnt able to play the game it would be gearboxes fault?

OF COURSE!!!!!111

Maybe he should upgrade his pc since the last time he probably did so was in 1998 or 1999. Not the game companies fault, his own, funny seeing him whine tho. :imu:

satch919 · Mar 17, 2005

I love it so far. I kinda wish that the textures were more detailed and crisp but hey, its no big deal. Being able to command two squads is awesome. Especially when the lead starts flying.

One other small thing that I don't like is that it seems as if the AA option for my X800 XT PE isn't used in the game. AF works but not AA. It looks pretty jaggy even though I have it on 4X AA. Its still one heck of a game though. :thumbs:

Pauly · Mar 17, 2005

Just got my copy in mail today

good game.

Moto · Mar 17, 2005

It's good but not great in my opinion. It's too difficult to hit anything and you can't go prone. To me, it seems like it's missing a lot of stuff.

PoeticRocker · Mar 17, 2005

Call of Duty wasnt that great - so the title can easily be taken.

Your opinion is incorrect.

Multiplayer is actually really fun and it feels so real with the ragdolls and all. It would be the best if i can just figure out why its so damn slow ang laggy with my set up(PC).

jimbo118 · Mar 17, 2005

i read on the ign forum that the game has an option for hdr,is this true?or did they confuse it with bloom

Jimmeh · Mar 17, 2005

I'm pretty sure it's bloom Jimbo

Hopefully I'll get my copy today, gameplay.co.uk nearly always deliver a day early when pre-ordering. It was despatched First Class on Wednesday so YAY! (Hopefully)

azz0r · Mar 17, 2005

It sucks.

What a let down.

really bummer,the main thing i hear negative is the shitty graphics(they cant be that bad) and poor mp service,although it looks like a mod is on the way to allow 16 human players instead of 4,wootage

StardogChampion · Mar 17, 2005

Can someone who hated CoD/Allied Assault post their rating of this game?

TIIMMYY · Mar 17, 2005

This game is teh winnar! \

Its so realistic. When you shoot, its actually like shooting a real gun. I must admit however, the multiplayer could do with some patching up.
