The "PC Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Considering getting this one, have a couple of questions first to ease my troubled mind.
Is it subscription based, like WoW?
Have they sorted out out that awful unwieldy menu system?
Does Xfire work with it yet?
Cheers

Nope, I'm on high textures with 1GB. 2x aliasing kills it as does highest lighting, but not high textures.

I wasn't suggesting you were just trying to make a point.
From my brief read of this topic you didn't think highly of the demo, were ready to pack it away after you failed to install it once and again when you couldn't get your graphics sorted.
Obviously from your last posts it is clear you don't have the temperant for the game which is fair enough. Though, it takes a bit of practice not to go to a spawn point when you know it is full of the enemy, it takes 2/3 hits to blow a tank etc etc
You obviously don't like it whilst I quite enjoy but there is no need to go making insults and arguing about a game.

Heh, I played that a couple of weeks ago at a mates house. Not being familure with the controls didn't help, but I don't think I'd ever find myself enjoying the game.
I know what your saying about BF2, it can be incredibly frustrating. I enjoy it for a half hour action, away from the sedate pace of WoW.
I couldn't give a damn if I'm ever first, if I ever join a clan, if I can claim to be a top chopper pilot.
I just like hiding up cranes and sniping.
Wheverer I find myself getting annoyed, I turn off. Which happens pretty frequently to be honest.

Possibly, but why would I want spend *any* time being made to feel physically angry in my spare time?
Why on earth would I want to relax during my time and find myself swearing and slamming my fists onto the keyboard because I didn't shoot an avatar faster than he shot me?
To me, videogames are supposed to be a relaxing pastime, to while away some time enjoying myself and having fun.
When I find myself hissing and having to go downstairs for a fag before I literally punch through my PC tower in frustration, that's a signal that this game isn't for me.
And for the illiterates and just plain stupid, I haven't said it's a bad game anywhere at any point.
I've said it's not my cup of tea.
And you don't have shares in this game, so my not enjoying it has zero to do with you.

Yes that's right, I spend £30 just to make a point.

Spawning and having a guy behind the spawn point shooting you immediately sucks.
Spawning and having artillery rain down on you sucks.
Being run over by a jeep at 90mph you have no chance of stopping sucks.
Being anti-tank, hitting the tank and the tank not being destroyed sucks.
Being Assault and being picked off before you know where you are sucks.
I gave it a chance, but these mindless shootyshooty spawnbangdeath games really aren't my cup of tea.
CS I can just about handle, but having some screaming 13yr in a plane strafe the spawn points over and over and over is, to me, as much as fun as playing Halo 2 on Live.

Nah, I think I shall be returning this.
Too frustrating for my liking. Time and time again I'll get shot, spawn, shot, spawn, shot spawn repeatrepeatrepeat
I dont need to feel angered by a computer game thanks.
