Hope it helps some of u out
 
I'm not sure it's actually fixable, the gun play is just horrendous, it's clearly been designed from head to tail with console controls in mind and it just doesn't work on a PC, the maps are small, the choke points are tiny the performance is chronically bad to the point where I have to question the abilities of those who made the game (compare this to cod, on an older version of the engine).

I'm very close to putting it down as my worst game of 2011.

Most of the fun is to be had dressing ur dude up, after that I was horrified how bad the game play is - Its a shocker tbh.

Flashy menus, attractive (male) character models, every thing else... bleh.

Joystiq got this spot on with their 2/5 really, It is just pathetic that with no way to get a refund like you could with just about any other good released in this state, the devs will still make thoroughly undeserved cash off of it.

Yeah i'm sure Bioware/EA are patting themselves on the back for making a profit on DA2 as well.

Of course DA3 and ME3... well lets just say i certainly wouldn't want to preorder them right about now.
 
can any of you guys see my server? I have two random's connected already

took server down bed time will give it a go over the weekend.

Overall it's a pretty good game, it's great fun. A nice blend of TF2/CSS and Battlefield.

Though it does have it's problems. Mainly in the form of lag / stuttering for whatever reason.

If the game is patched and these issues are ironed out it'll make a nice little filler until Battlefield 3.
 
It's hilarious that they made a big deal and commotion about themselves shipping a week earlier than the announced release date, yet botched up the entire release for all 3 platforms.

Coulda done with that extra week really couldnt they.

I say hilarious, I mean pathetic.
 
Well I've played over 8 hours today and I think it's really good, some servers are pretty awful but there are plenty of them and once you find a good one the hours fly by. Shame they released it in this shoddy state though as it will have a detrimental effect on what is cracking FPS with plenty of depth.
 
Just had a pretty decent game on the SAS beer drinkers server, no lag or banding butthere was some corruption on text, which is proberly a driver issue, but then i got into the next game played fine during warmup and then my fps dropped to 10, no idea why.

I totally agree with you, its bloody 2am already!

I reckon they wanted to release next month but then got forced forward because they clearly dont want to compete with anything and DNF is coming.
 
So buy or wait. I have an old card and cpu...

I bought COD BO but it was unplayable for 6 months and now it sits taking up valuable hard drive space....

Is this the same from reading the last page it sounds like it is?
 
Early days but I remember a developer commentary / video about the single player side of the game, and it looked really good. Just glad I haven't picked it up as yet. One to keep an eye on, see plenty of media and maybe when the price is much reduced, though it is possible after playing I might find it a better game than I first expected, so you never know.
