If it's anything like Agent Under Fire then I won't be getting it...

The one player is quite good but the multiplayer is rubbish...

Also, how annoying are the guns?

I fire a bullet at a blokes head on the first level and he manages to run away from it before it hits!

STUPID!

I really hope that PD is better than this, I would hate to have a slow, boring game like this...

Apart from some of the one player missions!

Oh and are the controls going to be the same in PD? I really am finding these new controls hard to get used to!

How about for controls of PD Zero:

A - Fire
B - Reload/Open Doors
X - Jump? Or If Not Change Weapon Back
Y - Change Weapon Forward
Z - Aim
L - Strafe Left
R - Strafe Right
Analogue Stick - Move
C Stick - Aim?
D Pad - Give Orders to Team Mates (like Rogue Leader)

I'm trying to think of a way where you could run, raise your sights and shoot a guy in the head at the same time which you could with the N64 controller as it seemed almost to be made for FPS games. However I'm not sure about the Gamecube controls I've suggested as it would be quite hard to aim with the C-Stick and shoot

I was basically trying to say how bad the game is!

I know that PD will be good but I really hope that it's nothing like EA!

What have they done to the guns?!?!?

I would say R or A would be the best options. My main concern is the control style. I usually play with solitare, but i cant see how that is possible on the cubes controller.

Z or R button I'd assume... it feels more like a trigger than any of the others...

plus using the analogue capability of R they could allow the player to control certain guns rate of fire depending how far they push it... or the secondary function activated by the full click...

I doubt it, if it did i dont think it would be necessary for them to include 3 difficulty levels, it would be hard enough...

Sorry, I don't think Rare can beat the efforts of EA.

I mean we're talking about the makers of games like Fifa and Harry Potter.
If they can't make an FPS to satisfy you then there's not much that Rare can do.

After all, they've only managed games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong Country, Conkers Bad Fur Day and other "minors" which can't be compared to games of the mighty EA.





By the way, if you don't like this sarcasm then THINK before you type.

I would have to agree, but as its in the hands of Rare im not even remotely concerned that the game will be poor.
