If you're played any of the previous games, you've played Global Storm.

It all seemed little bit familiar and dated to me.

If you want an excellent co-op game however, I highly recommend Serious Sam 2. 4 player online and it's so much fun.

Its great in co-op.  Especially when you can heal your team mates who get gunned down.  The only thing I don't like are the enemies.  "Military tactics" are apparently used by them.  They must have asked an army in the Middle East, cause I don't know any other (maybe Zulus) that would just run at you like a suicidal athletic sprinter.

Whats worse is that they tend to be pretty accurate while setting new athletic records, while your guys can't seem to hit anything just for standing up.  So of course, to get more accuracy, you lay on the ground - which leads to the problem of you turning your aim, being slower than their running.  So in no time at all, they're on top of you, and shooting you while you're on the floor. 

They also seem to have that annoying Ghost Recon enemy ability to just shake off bullets alot.  The combination of shaking bullets off and the huge recoil, just put me right off being the sniper.  Good point is of course like the other games in the series, you can pick up other guns and have one as backup. 

The co-op definatly makes up for any flaws though.  Don't think my friends forking out for any extra copies - sorry Hedfix.   ;-)
One more game to buy before the 360 comes out and thats Battlefront 2, which my cousin and friend are also grabbing.  Anyone else fancy joining us on the Imperial side and trashing Rebels ?  ;-)

I'm all about using the demolitions guy with the silenced MP5.

CDS 1 & 2 were brillaint. Vietnam was a total let down.

I have the new one on PC and I'm waiting a few weeks to play it co-op with a  friend. Hopefully it'll be better than Vietnam but if it isn't, it's not ^{like I've wasted any money on it anyway ^^}

CDS on Cube was the best of the series by far.

Yeah, the little buggers run and hide.

Damn right.

Two of the most enjoyable games since the current generation of consoles came out. Especially in 4 player.

There were tons of differences.

CDS on Cube came out about 6 months after the Xbox version and had massive amounts of upgrading done on it.

Suddenly you can cut the tension with a knife in this thread.   ;-)   Handbags at the ready !  ;-)

I think everyone was playing Freedom Fighters by then.

I preferred C:DS 2 because it actually required some skill to complete, although I expect the Cube version of CD:S was slightly harder: I'd already completed the Xbox version on all difficulties in single player and it was hard enough playing with my friends getting torn apart by the Xbox AI without them being any more difficult.

In single player the open areas in C:DS just made it too easy to setup killzones and waltz through the levels.

I only played the demo and decided to leave it. Tbh I thought I'd out grown the series as a gamer until they announced the online co-op which is the only reason I want to get this new one.

CDS II was too boxed in, I agree. The open levels on the original may not of looked amazing, but they were great fun. Although, the siege level in co-op on CDSII was awesome. But then again, so was the helicopter crash level on the original.

Nah, CDS was better. The night time level was solid - CDS II was tricky as well, yeah, but the fact is you still got shot at lots in both.

No I wasn't, I was saying it was pretty pointles buying the GC version having completed the Xbox version just for a few tweaks when the better CD:S 2 was coming out shortly on the platform.

And C:DS 2 was much better because the level design actually made it a challenge.

Yeah I liked those missions in C:DS1 but looking back I preffered the street battles in C:DS1 more which is no doubt why I liked C:DS 2 so much.

I do remember it being shorter but in someways C:DS1 could drag on as there was a lot of running around and doubling back even though you'd killed everone just to tie up objectives. In the sequel they streamlined it so that objectives were completed on the way and put in more ambushes from troops coming at you from streets you thought you'd cleared to really bring out the urban fighting.

I played C:DS through on all difficulty settings and by the end it was certainly dragging on so I was glad that C:DS 2 was shorter because I was going to replay all the levels on the higher difficulties anyway. The shortness made it more likely you'd be able to complete the game with your mates in 1 or 2 sittings.

Well I'm free pretty much all day.  ;-)  I can get off KUF and play co-op with you anytime.  :-)

Just tell me when you're ready.

No probs, I'll get the game on.  ;-)

Damn, yep it needs reinstalling - will be on in a bit.

Should be ready in another 15-20 mins or so.
