Picked this up tonight after watching the trailer. It was released today. It plays like a PC game, pretty cool though, a nice change from the COD playing style. More like SOCOM meets Battlefield. Anyone else pic it up?
i had a thread going on this...not much traffic though.
so plays like a pc game? i was never into pc games...can you elaborate?
my brother wants me to buy this, but everything ive seen looks pretty average...
Graphics are subpar for a Ps3 game. I will say though that its a lot different than COD so its not even comparable honestly. Its something different. Thing that sucks is you have to shot someone 3 times at least with the sniper rifle to get a kill. Headshots are the only way to get one shot one kills. As well with the other rifles, its at least 5-6 shots before they die. I think if they improved these things through a patch or something it would be a really awesome game. Respawn time sucks too. I think Bad Company 2 is going to absolute waste COD MW2. This is a nice teaser game until that arrives.
IMO i give it a 5/10 because there is such room for improvement to make this a really cool game.
To all the sniper comments, the beginning sniper rifle that you are given (ebr) is a horrible gun. 3-5 shot kill. I wouldn't recommend leveling up with a sniper. The L86 (second rifle) is better, but not the best. 2-3 shot to kill someone with medium armor I think. The third and best sniper rifle, LRSS - or something, is a beast. They definitely go down in 2 shots. Sometimes 1 if they are hurt a little before the shot. Sniping in the game seems more of a support role. You nick someone, and your teammates have an easier time finishing them off with an assualt rifle. Counter-sniping is also fun.
Would recommend leveling up with the LMG class. Huge clips, and tolerable recoil with the Holographic sight and front grip I think you can have 1 of those accessories at lvl 2, and the other at level 4.
Graphics are what they are. Not on par with MW2 or BC2. I think this is a proving grounds for getting more people in 1 lobby. Hope other game manufacturers pick this idea up. 6v6 and 9v9 in MW2 is kind of slow at times compared to MAG.
This game is a hold-over for BC2 for me, can't wait! This was definitely worth the $60 for me.
