TS2 is the best 'Arcadey' shooter I've played.

Yes I misread what you were trying to say. Apologies. I currently am in a deep meaningful relationship with Brute Force. :D

THE 'DUG OUT' LIST:

> And TimeSplitters 2 is miles better than Perfect Dark

Erm in a word: No.


The levels are not as well designed as PD.

The bot's AI is laughable when compared to PD.

Perfect Dark's balance of accuracy and gameplay has yet to be bettered. This balance is in a league of it's own and cannot justifiably be compared to any other game currently on the market.

Perfect Dark has a more realistic engine.

Perfect Dark strives for a believable realism and is not cartoony.

There is a greater depth to the gameplay in Perfect Dark multiplayer, for instance stealth is a viable option in PD multi (even with bots), in TS2 stealth is not really a viable option.

Mines work better in Perfect Dark.

Perfect Dark's weapons selection menu (copied from Turok) is easily more practical than TS2's old fashioned weapon scrolling.

Perfect Dark allows you to customise your own Bots.

You can have more than three teams in PD.

You actually are interested in checking your saved stats when you play PD multi.


This is not to say TS2 is a bad game, far from it. I would class TS2 with games such as Unreal and the Quake series. Fun, mental but ultimately light-hearted FPS shooters.
I enjoy playing Timesplitters 2 like I enjoy playing Mario Kart it is good cartoony fun, there is a nice level of skill to it. Perfect Dark is more on a par with Ghost Recon. It is demanding, it is accurate and it is quite unforgiving.

Not saying it's a bad game but I really doubt the player DM's are up to much, certainly not in the same league as Perfect Dark or TSP2.

I did mean Red faction not brute force. But actually brute force's bots suit my point rather nicely.

Random weapons makes for a great game. The accuracy of aiming is easily better than the cack control of TS2. TS2 actually is too fast.

PD levels are better and mainly bigger. TS2 bots are AWFUL.

4 player split screen on TSP2 with a few bots, none of those games beats.

Nightfire's rubbish, the characters move around at a snails pace and only the rocket launchers and big beefy weapons are worth using.

Perfect Dark's great but compared to the amount of different game types and things available in TSP2 it fails miserably. TSP2 has more options, much better level design, more balanced weaponary, better framerate etc etc

Even if Perfect Dark's bots do react better, I doubt many people bother going up against bots on their own, it's pretty dull to say the least. Only thing I can think of in Perfect Dark that TSP2 is just begging for, is decent stats, TSP2 is seriously lacking in that area.

As for Brute Force can I just say "HA HA"
