love this game!have played it through a few times.thought the british section was a little weak,except for the bridge,that got intense!
I agree. The British section is one of the weak points, the ship level I thought was horrible. The game is fun, the multiplayer is pretty good too, except it doesn't work all of the time for me. Right now I can't connect to any servers, tried all sorts of stuff to fix it, no luck though :(.

I actually saw a show on the History Channel about that engagement and the story and aerial photographs matched the the mission in the game.
I honestly wasn't all that impressed with the game, my choice would have to be H&D 2.

In the relatively short time I've been here you have been asked for that thread quite a lot Dr., ever consider putting the link in your signature or something? :)

Yeah, odd isn't it?
Perhaps I just need to stop telling people it's there. But I'm a Supervillain with a massive ego, so I can't help it.
Dr. S.
Hmm, valid points. Although I'm not sure why you would expect incredible freedom to complete objectives. I don't personally feel it lacked anything. When you're told to say, take some location, you're going to go to that location and take it, not wander around aimlessly for a while before you get to it. This is war man! We don't need you sightseeing!
As for the teamwork, yeah true, the other people only had a limited effect on firefights, on the other hand, did you want to play someone who didn't do anything? If I'm playing the game, I want to be the one doing the cool stuff, I don't want to run to the 88 and see someone else using it. :(
I took the single player as if I was in a movie. It was all very scripted but fun nonetheless (to me at least).
Personally, I must say, I didn't think Jedi Academy gave me all that much freedom. Sure you could sort of choose missions, but generally speaking, you ended up completing everything in the missions the same way, the only thing that was usually different was maybe how you actually fought the enemies. For example, I didn't even need a light saber, I found I could generally just force choke the enemy, lift them over an always nearby ledge and drop them to their death before they could react. However, whether you were evil and a jerk and did it my way, or you ran up and had a cinematic duel with every dark jedi, you still killed the enemy regardless.
I've yet to find the game that really gives a huge degree of freedom like they always tout. Far Cry is close at points. On the outdoor maps you can generally sneak all sorts of interesting ways to get to the final objective on the map. But when you get indoors, you have to go the same path no matter what. I think that as long as the objectives are set by the game, you're never going to have the degree of freedom the games go on about giving you. Of course, if the game doesn't set objectives, what's the point of playing it?
If you play RPGs, then I think you can get closer to the degree of freedom that everyone wants. Take Fallout for example. You had three principle objectives: Find the water chip, Destroy the Mutant Plant, Kill Master (that was his name right? I'm blanking). Other than that, you did and went wherever with the eventual goal of completing the objectives. But still how much freedom did you really have? You still had to explore certain places and do certain things, and how many different ways could you do those? Not too many when you think about it. The only time you had any real freedom was when you wandered into a town like Junktown, where it had no major influence on the final goals. Technically, you could have skipped the place completely if you wanted.
Anyway, I ramble for no real point now, so I'm gonna stop.

Working through Far Cry at the moment actually - I think it's fab'. The outdoor missions are really incredibly freeform, compared to CoD. It's possible to miss out entire bits of the map if you want - although I like to be thorough, so I tend to sneak back and find other people to kill that I missed out. :D
I'm sure there was at least one indoor mission where there was an alternative route to the objective. I think it was the Bunker mission, not absolutely sure.
Anyway, so far I'm really impressed with Far Cry - there's a real epic sense of scale with the environments, especially when you've fought your way up to a fort on the top of a hill and you can see for miles and miles around you, including the point where you started, waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy down there...

Yeah I'm sure a few of the indoor maps have some kind of different way to go, but generally I feel herded down a specific hallway in the indoors. The thing I really like about the outdoor maps is how I swim out to some little neighboring island, pull out the sniper rifle, take down a few guys, and then swim away to another location, and take out the people that came over towards my original spot...
...or, sneaking up real close to the guy and knifing them from behind...
...or, getting a boat with a machine gun, and charging right up against the shore and opening up (unless of course they have a pesky guy with a rocket launcher).
Yeah, I have only played the Far Cry demo, but everyone likes it, and the graphics engine is awesome (that view distance you are talking abot Dr. S is sweet).
In reply to Overseer-
I agree, the only way you can get close to true freedom besides Far Cry is in RPG's. A game like Knights of the Old Republic (Star Wars RPG), you are free to roam whereever you want (almost) but you still have to speak to certain people or do something eventually. If you are sent to go kill someone, there isn't that many ways of doing it.
Dr. S-Depending on what you mean by freedom, Half-Life 2 may be what you want. You are going at it solo, but you can kill enemies in many different ways. It has an advanced graphics engine, so you could use your gravity-gun (its really not as silly as it sounds) to push a car into a guy, or climb into a giant crane and squash them with cargo bins. It isn't out yet, but it should be out by the end of the year. It is supposed to have graphics on par or better than Far Cry also...

HL2 is all fine and good, but the game I'm really looking forward to is Doom3. Not that it necessarily promises anything amazing in terms of freedom, but I'm a horror fan. And they went for pure scare factor in the making of Doom 3. I can't wait. Of course, that's going to be horror lite compared to the Call of Cthulhu game coming out which is supposed to be one of the most intense gaming experiences...

Yep, agree with ALL of that.
Sneaking around at night with a silenced MP5 is fab' too. I worked my entire way around a Mercenary camp the other night without a single shot being fired at me.
And being able to steal vehicles, and jump out as the 4x4 continues without you and hurtles towards some goons on the roadside is VERY satisfactory.

It does sound incredible, but I think a new PC might be required to properly run HL2 - to its full potential I mean.
Dr. S.
Yeah, that is the one problem. Depending on what settings you run Far Cry at, it should be about the same. It may be a little more of a system hog. That and Doom 3 are two games that people are upgrading their computers for. Splinter cell is a good one too, if you like sneaking...:D
Some of the reason people may not have liked it much at first was some of the multiplayer annoyances. I noticed in the thread Dr. S posted that someone commented that they didn't like the bunny hopping. Things like that have been fixed now, they have released patches and the multiplayer has been changed a bit. They have also released a new multiplayer game mode, and some new maps. If people didn't like it for any of those reasons, you may want to give it another shot with the new patches.

Doom 3 is why I bought my Radeon 9800 XT (because Carmack in his plan files said that Radeon was the best for Doom 3, and then just recently, after I bought the card, Id Software makes a deal with Nvidia :mad: ) Of course, I really still need to upgrade my motherboard, processor, and RAM...

Well sure, but the games aren't scalable like PC games are. I've yet to see a console game that looks better than a PC game (if they come out at the same time).
PC's play the games at higher resolutions, which mean better image quality.

It's been about 2.5 years since I last upgraded, unless you count my graphics card and memory and stuff (I mean, "upgrade" as in totally changed machines) and that's the longest time I've ever gone before I've started to think that I MUST upgrade soon.
Dr. S.
My computer has lasted around 2 and a half years without anything but recent graphics card upgrade. Technically mine's still fine, it's just when doom 3 and HL2 and a few other games come out, I won't be able to run at the top resolution.

My exact situation also, except my computers closer to 1.5 years old. My dad isn't a gamer, but he has had his computer for, I don't know, about 5 years. I will be building one for him soon though, new computer time at our house! :D

Yes. Take a look at a game like Stalker, or GTR, the demo just came out. It is supposed to be pretty photorealistic.

So far it's been mostly Mercenaries.
It IS a very "pretty" game - but for once it's not just eye-candy. I'm really enjoying this one.
Go on...do it. Or I'll post more screenshots!
Dr. S.
Must......resist.....must save for next com...pu...ter.............
Plus, with the computer I have now, I will have to tone down the settings and it won't be pretty... But my next computer I will be able to have all settings turned up high, it will just use up that fund I had put together to give to Sinister Inc...
Call of Duty was a fun game for a while...the single player is good (aside from the "on-rails" feel of some of the missions). Multiplayer was fun for a bit, but lost its edge rather quickly as it devolved into more and more run-and-gun than I particularly enjoy. Still a good game, but not at the top of my list. I personally prefer something with a good deal more tactical realism involved. Certainly a good title for those who enjoy its particular brand of game play! I play it from time to time online.
Far-Cry is also a good game. Very hard in spots in the single player. The graphics are excellent and the engine renders outdoor environments better then most anything else on the market to date. Single player was very enjoyable, Multiplayer is a little clumsy at the moment, but theres supposed to be a patch (v1.2) that not only fixes some of that, but also turns up the dial a little further on the graphics as well in the near future. I'm personally hoping for a couple of good realism-based mods for the engine once the SDK has been released. "Korea--The Forgotten War" ( http://www.theforgottenwar.com/ )looks like it might be a good offering thus far. Time will tell.
The patch supposedly should have come out monday. It doesn't really have any new eye-candy, but for the new generation nvidia cards performance is improved in some areas. The next patch (1.3) will be the patch with most of the visual improvements. This patch does fix a bug in some nvidia cards where the floor in some levels is rendered kinda funny though. It also gives a quick-save option! Yay (from my inner Far Cry player)!
Don't worry Doc, there will be more mutants than you'll ever want to see.... Good luck, and godspeed.

My processor is a p4 1.7ghz, but my real problem is only 256MB ram, and unfortunately, it's a weird type (rdram) which is almost impossible to find (and it would cost me about $400 to upgrade my ram).
You have the same problem as my friend. He has a 3.06 ghz P4, but only 256 mb of RAM (last time I heard...). It is RDRAM so it costs a ton to upgrade. I got 512 mb of DDR333 for my secondary computer I am on now for only 70 dollars :)

Have you played Black Hawk Down? There's one level where there's all these technicals in the front, so you have to go around the back and through all these enemies and stuff, but I found a way to take out the technicals and just go through the front door, then about another 100 yards to your objective, so you win in about 10 minutes max, as opposed to 40 or so if you took the way you were supposed to.
Incidently, everytime someone mentions an "RPG-oriented game" I think of Black Hawk Down because an RPG is what took down those two choppers.

Sorry, didn't know what was in the demo' level or I'd have grabbed you a screenie from something else.
Basically, my Wife was popping out to the Supermarket and I just said to her to see if this game was there and how much it was.
She came back, having bought it for me. She's great! So I hadn't played the demo' or anything at all.

Only one thing though - if you are worried about gore and stuff, there is also some bad language in the game too. Nothing too offensive so far, but I just thought I'd throw that in there in case it's an issue for you.

Yes, come into the water... You should see it rippling and moving.
Mind you, the game chugs a little when I've got the full settings turned up, but it's still playable. Runs perfectly just with a little tweaking down.
I would say the language isn't as bad as in Vietcong (which had the WORKS!), but you do get Mercenaries saying stuff like "s***w you".

I love the German MP44 because I'm a lame shooter and this rifle seems to be pretty accurate on single-shot and it also has automatic fire.
I often use the Russian PPSH41 because of the huge ammo load (something like 60rounds/drum?). You can fire this weapon for 3 hours before having to change the drum! again, this is a bonus for this newb lame shooter here! :P
For the yank weaponry I am split between the Thompson SMG and the M1 rifle. The thompson for the high rate of fire but I like the M1 because it is semi-auto and more accurate.
Haven't done much with british weapons to have an opinion.

Well Terry if you plan on playing console games this is for you and everyone else:
The PS 3 will launch with a price of 699 dollars. Yes you heard me right 699 dollars before tax. XBox 2 or Xenon as it is called will launch with a price of 500 dollars. I'm sorry but I will keep my current XBox and stick to my high speed computer which will be good to go for at least 3-4 years.

There are three islands. Regular terrain, no passes or canyons you have to go through. You're free to go where ever you want on the island. They're very big ones, too. You usually have to stay with your squad, but later you're in charge of the squad. You switch between people as you play the campaign. You're an infantryman, a black ops guy, a tank commander, or a pilot. The Russians have invaded one of the island, and you're fighting them. The downside of the game is that it's pretty old, so it has bad graphics, nothing like Far Cry's, but you can get into a wide range of vehicles. Tanks, helicopters, boats, even an A-10. A bit like a modern Battlefield 1942.
It's very realistic, in terms of gameplay.They give you objectives, of course, but many game tell you exactly where the objectives are. Some missions, like one where you have to locate AA Shilkas to help with an A-10 strike, you just have to look around in enemy territory until you find it. Then you go to the extract point, radio for a boat, and it comes and picks you up. You also have exactly the same stats as the computer soldiers do, so it's realistic there. The guys on your side can help just as much as you can. Also, if you get shot in the legs, you may have to crawl around until you find a medic because you can't stand on badly injured legs. You aim get very jerky when you're shot in the arm. You die instantly when you're shot in the head.
So I'd recommend it, except it has bad graphics and you can't move while you're reloading. It's a great game.

MP44 for me, definately. I always use semi-auto fire so it's like an assualt rifle. I can kick butt when I have one.
The PPSH41 has 71 rounds in a clip. That takes awhile to unload, but not long to reload. Great combination.
I also like the M1 carbine because it's well balanced. Not bad range, not bad ammo capacity, not bad damage, semi-auto.

One of them is the PPSh for reasons already mentioned. I like the thompson or the garand for the Americans. The thompson because it can unload a lot of rounds pretty quickly and the garand for its power. For the British I love the Bren; its extremely heavy but very powerful and I like to use it as a rifle. On the Germans side I like the mp40. For some reason I don't like the mp44...

the mp-44 turned out to be one of my favorites.man that weapon is deadly!
I just like to view the MP44 as a powered-down Garand with a 30-round clip.:armed: :armed: :armed:

I was watching T.V. one day and I saw an advertisement for it. Of course my mouth dropped open and I wanted it immediately. For Christmas I recieved it as a present. I love the detail put into the weapons, and I loved how each gun sounded different when you fired it. I've played a few games where a U.S. Thompson sounds the same as a Sten. :crazy: Yes BF1942 is a great game, but a bit unrealistic. I don't think it took 4-5 hits for a panzer to destroy a sherman :rolleyes: . So Call of Duty is a great game if you're in the mood for a realistic/fun game, but BF1942 is great if you just want to be able to get into any type of vehicle and go trigger happy :armed:
Yeah, I agree. It's fun to go around blowing thing up with a Tiger, but it's a bit unrealistic to destroy T-34s with three hand grenades.
