Absoloutly su-fooking-poib!
I don't get where the magazines and web sites are coming from when they say very little has changed since TS2. So much has changed, all i can think is they didn't really play much of TS2 to notice.
For starters the days of twitchy unprecise aiming are over, using sniper rifles is a breeze and getting head shots from far away is no problem at all. Along with that they've now put in a decent reticule system that glows red when you're aiming at an enemy.
Single player while not ground breaking is a hell of a lot more fun than they made out. If you played and enjoyed Goldeneye or Perfect Dark then you should definetly get a kick out of this. It's certainly a lot better done than TS2 and there's no more moments where the computer seems to get off insanely impossible shots on you. The level design also seems to be a lot better, still quite linear but nowhere near as claustrophobic as some of the levels in TS2. Oh there's also a reasonable storyline instead o fthe jumbled mess that was the last game.
Also the bots in multiplayer no longer seem to know exactly where you are on the map all the time which is a massive bonus. So all is good and I highly recommend you get this game if you like light hearted arcade shooting games with a sense of humour.
There's tons of stuff I've missed out but I can't be assed to type anymore. I'm gonna stay offline tonight and play some single player and then take it online tomorrow night.

Only played a couple of maps but they seme to mdeium - large. Haven't seen any vehicles so far but I shall post if I do. Offlien I have driven about 3 vehicles and are about 2 missions in.
A lot of gametypes online. I need to go walk my dog but I'm going back on after that and shall make a list and then post it for you.

Hey Crazi col since you live Hull and have broadband (I'm guessing since you've tried TS3 on LIVE) - does it mean you're on Karoo? Living in Hull is crap for broadband because Karoo is the only option as far as I'm aware.....and 27.99 for the 750 service seems a bit crap when you compare it to NTLs 1mb connection for ten quid less a month...!
Oh, and I know Karoo is uncapped compared to NTLs...but still, I'd rather go with the faster connection.

Seems alright.
A bit of lag now and again, but fine overall.

I've got a long way on the Challenges now and my favourite moment has to be shooting the Zombie Cow Carcasses - :D - Timesplitters at its best
Might pick this up tommorow. How does it play on LIVE?
This game is great.
I'm going through the challenges now which are a bit difficult.

I paid £31.99 from SR Basildon.
There are so many retards in Hull it is unbelievable.
Game are doing the 4 trade and £1 deal again.
So I went to gamestation and bought 4 for £17.96 ad then paid the £1 and saved £15.
The guy at the desk in gamestation asked me if I was, he already knew, and laughed a little when I said yes.
He said only a few people had done what I did. So many morons probably paid the full £34.99

Just onto the second single player mission. Quite a good game so far and the cutscenes are decent too. Quite a funny game.
