Anyone got it? which version? and your thoughts pls.

Kreeeee · 30 May 2008 at 11:44

Didn't know this was out...

blueshift · 30 May 2008 at 11:48

yup, out today

Kreeeee · 30 May 2008 at 11:51

I won't be picking it up though, seems like a poor mans battlefield. Would be interested in a demo though.

blueshift · 30 May 2008 at 11:54

yeah it sems a little dodgy to me, when they dont release a demo, before the games out?

Still im going to trade in Haze, its got to be an improvement on that

I've just seen that one of the big high street stores is selling Haze for only £9.99 when you trade in GTA IV... I don't know what the point of that is as it will probably be selling for about a tenner in a couple of weeks anyway

Was bad enough on PC.

I enjoyed the PC version, but I think it's arrived too late on consoles .

Reviews would tend to disagree with you.

It's a pretty widespread thought that Quake Wars was a letdown, so I don't really care.

Game sucked (playing PC version)

I didnt like it one bit

Streeteh · 30 May 2008 at 14:19

The game had huge potential, but its biggest flaw was the fact it was just too complicated to be adopted by anyone other than a dedicated core of players.

Definitely. I probably picked it up at the worst possible time (just before coursework deadlines and exams) but for the time I did have to play it, it's certainly not a pick up and play game like BF2/TF2 etc.

Techinally i would say it is, you can pick a class and play, nothing hard about the game, aim takes a bit of getting used to, from what ive seen most of the people who hated it are the ones who dont do objectives, the run n' gun type of person, dont get me wrong im not saying the game is brilliant but its decent enough if you like objective type of play.

I had a quick game earlier and i think it's quite fun but i'm a sucka for guns and big open maps

Supercow · 30 May 2008 at 17:22

PC version was a teaming pile of dung - so no way I'm looking at this

blueshift · 30 May 2008 at 18:09

its actually pretty good, i like the objective based team play, although a lot of people are just running and gunning like its deathmatch??

he's not "wrong" as such.

i could love a game that all reviewers and so called critics loved...who's wrong? because in my opinion i would be right, yet in the reviewers opinions they would be right.
