Good points.

What i find hard with the PS3 is that not everyone has a headset and if they do it's either not good quality or they don't speak. So the game is not used to it's full potential. And tactics are very hard to do with people without headsets.

We need to get some OcUK games going over the weekend. Maybe rp can set some servers up.

The headset thing could be an issue but didn't find that too much of a problem in RS before I started using my headset in that. If everyone has the same mentality of it being a squad game then it helps loads as you just look out for each other without having to be told.
Don't get me wrong, using headsets will make it soo much better, but even without one it could still be excellent if you play with the right people.
 
its your character id that you use too add people, must be online to add aswell.

I will be on from about 10.30 - 11 pm tonite ...... will host matches for a few hours.
 
My views so far after a couple of hours...

At first its hard to get into and I highly recommend doing the training just to get a feel/know the controls.

I also think its important to mess with the settings a bit I inverted my controls and increased the sensitivity slightly found it a bit too slow on default.

When you pick to manually join servers if you press start you can change filters making it easier to join games with no lag

Once I got used to how the game played and tried out all the modes I think the game is great. Being able to play 3rd person or first is great and I think they have done it very well. Also the effects are impressive for instance when you get hit by a rocket launcher or grenade.

Hiding in a box/barrel works well as does playing dead. Once you learn to play dead and learn to add skills such as close quarter you can have lots of fun sneaking up on people and choking them or using them as a human shield as you take out their mates.

Also to do certain things you need to pick the skill (basically perks) which I think applies to using the knife.

EDIT: Useless but it made me lol, on character selection I was just spinning my guy around for a bit and when I went to enter instead of saluting he fell over :)

I will try to be on for this, I have a headset but it echoes terribly, can still shut up and take orders though.

edit: after having done the training of course.
 
Had a quick game, think I need to do the training. Took me near enough a whole game to figure out you could shoot in first person view. :p

Not too impressed graphically but if the gameplays spot on then who cares.

What game does this most relate to? Splinter cell, GoW etc?

It's really hard to say. It's pretty unique. Basically, think Snake Eater, but with a mix of GRAW and GoW thrown in. It's very different. It's one of the slowest, methodical shooters so far in my view.

Cheers mate, am trying to get a feel for it but no longer have a PS3.
 
My game ID is purifying-peve so feel free to add me. No headset at the moment might pick one up tomorrow.

Does any Bluetooth headset work with the PS3?
 
Any OCUK clan setup or planned games tonight? My game id is bellerophon, also posted in that konami id thread that has been neglected i think
