"Chaos Theory opinions....."

I'm gonna steal the old skool reviewing methods of OXM as I'm not in the mood for long posts.

Good Points -

* Single Player is orgasmic
* Co-op is orgasmic
* AI is...yup you guessed it orgasmic

Bad Points -

* Warehouse and head jumping are back seemingly unchanged
* No cinema or Hospital
* Proxy voice in co-op doesn't seem to work as well as I'd hoped
* Assholes in VS are back, didn't get to play Spies at all last night

Spies VS Merc is yet to impress me to be honest but I'm sure that'll change when all the people I know get the game today. Last night it was a case of the same old crap people not joining your server unless they can play spies, oh and already about 50% of the optimatch games were playing Warehouse which is seriously depressing. Oh and words can't describe how large and confusing the new VS levels are, it's gonna take an age to learn these things and the fact that all the levels have totally different kinds of objectives doesn't help at all.

Co-op however is sublime. We played through the first level which took a hell of a long time, the good thing was that the AI was constantly changing their tactics and suprising you around every corner. Favourite moment so far was when my partner was getting ready to slam a door open on a guard, to his suprise the guard used exactly the same tactic on him and sent him flying across the room.

So anyway excellent game so far, it's met pretty much all of my expectations already and I've hardly even scratched the surface.

I'm about Halfway through the game so far on hard. Really enjoying it. There is so much to do. Very impressed with the single player mode.

I once played a game on PT where they'd obviously hooked up a second xbox and used that to put a spy in play. So my partner just sat there doing nothing.

I took the penalty rather than give them their reward for cheating.

Ah one of them is he, I was playing with one of those, quite funny really, Im on my last life when Mr Spannish Bloke continues to run riot in the spawn area.

I managed to beat 2 spies single handedly a few days back. In the last 30 seconds I had no ammo left so I just span at them. :D

That was lucky because my teammate was some swedish ****wit who didn't even know warehouse had more than 1 sector.

He finally made it to sector 3 in the last 15 seconds. It was an 'interesting' game.

I've found the bst way to get a game on Spies VS Merc is create one of those squad things and do ranked games. As long as you've got a mate on you should be able to always get a game, though be warned there's a lot of real nerdy teams that'll beat you in a couple of minutes because they play the game far too much.

Duh!

They're the poles and he's the Fisher. ;)

I dunno if it's just me but the "spies" in co-op look stick thin compared to Fisher!

Haven't tried co-op yet, looks fun and also should double as a way to filter out the 'tards and find decent people for the online vs modes to team-up with.

Trouble is it makes people even more comfortable sticking with spies. Scum that they are.

How have people being doing on the co-op? % wise I mean..myself and my mate got 75% (me) and 73%(mate) on the Train Station co-op level on hard.

It started off quite well but the further you get in the more you realise how linear and dull the whole set-up was.

Isn't a patch on Chaos Theory, couldn't ever see myself going back to it now.
