Dudes, I've been watching some MP gameplay videos on youtube and I have to say, it does really, really look fun! The maps are very cool as well. It's something different which I'm quite keen on trying out.

Plus I don't trust any reviewer out there, I just look at some of the recent "concerns" around reviews.
Holding my breath :)
There was nothing wrong with BFBC2 at launch? There just wasn't enough servers, that's all. Anyhow, I don't trust the reviewers too much either. Their reviews are either too positive or too negative and I'll just have to decide for myself.Quote:

So where are the servers gonna be hosted? Any ideas?

So who is playing this weekend? Well if you are, prepare to die!!
Musica and BT Games in Brooklyn have the limited edition for R399 for those interested.
I'm not going to be home this weekend, but I'll probably play a bit on Monday. And this morning.
Good news for me....I need 2 days of extra practice over you!!!!Quote:

I think FLOPS did something similar....I think it just verifies your install - doesn't pull down the whole 4GB...I hope not in any event!Quote:

I'll install before leaving for weekend away and then it must update while I'm away. RDP baby!
After just opening the first page on there forums I am so not getting this game.
Your loss mate. I really think this has the potential to find a nice middle ground between BF and COD.Quote:

Some people are not happy about the number of snipers and yeah, it is frustrating, but that is not Homefronts' fault. All online shooters always have too many snipers. I really wish developers would start including class limits. And there are not enough maps. Other than that, cool game. This pertains only to the MP.
Lol, the snipers haven't pissed me off nearly as much as BC2. I hardly notice them. When one happens to kill me more than once, I go sniper and take him out. :DQuote:

One issue I have is the lack of maps and game modes. They need to make more maps and quickly. They also need to add some variety in game types. Where is CTF? Where is something like blowing up certain points, ala COD or BC2 style? Yes, they don't want to make it too much like COD or BF, but they need to include different game types or risk people losing interest. I also miss being able to shoot through objects and walls, but that will just take some getting used to again is all.
As for the snipers, if you don't like it, the you better stop playing online shooters! :P Yeah I know, they are plentiful, but it's part and parcel of playing online. I just think they have made sniping too easy. There is virtually zero movement on the scope when ADSing which makes it too easy to aim and no bullet drop either. So now everyone is a sniper. Also, the thermal scope is cool, but also makes thing too easy.
I love that you can take out a chopper fairly easily with the proximity launcher. Very balanced. The knifing also seems to work pretty well. Haven't really experienced lunge. I also love the hitreg. No hassles there imho. Shoot him in the head with anything bigger than a pistol and he drops pretty easily. I love the battle commander thing. If you playing too well, you get marked to an approximate spot on the map. And obviously so can an enemy who is killing too many friendlies. Also, your nemesis also gets tagged. Revenge baby! The airstrikes and special weapons you can buy also make for some fun. Not depending on racking up a 7 kill streak, you must simply accumulate points. Very clever system.
One other gripe I have is the grenades and flashbangs. The nade throwing and hitting the ground etc doesn't seem to be normal. Nades seem to not really bounce and move after hitting something. Also, flashing doesn't really seem effective, unless it explodes 2cm from a enemies' face. The biggest issue I had though was the constant disconnect after a map loaded. Was fucking annoying to say the least. I have no idea what caused it. I eventually formatted PC and reloaded Steam. I then simply copied back my old Steamapps folder and voila. Problem solved. Now I'm loving it.
The game looks very pretty and the graphics are maybe not revolutionary, but they have made it look very good. The sounds are also pretty decent. Some of the weapons sound a bit odd. When firing, they sound too light. Not enough oomph, but that is really not a setback in anyway.
Overall chaps and chapettes, those who have not bought it, it is well worth the R350. This all being based on the MP. I would have bought this game for the MP alone at that price, so any SP campaign is simply a bonus.
And only just a bonus at that. It's a shame really, they could've had a winner here. I'll finish it twice more just to get the achievements. Played it on normal and finished it in less than 5 hours. :(Quote:

I really don't see the problem with the snipers.. Once you get enough kills, take that chopper and shoot the kak outta them! LOL. I love doing that. Anyhow, the battle points system works really well, and it's well balanced. Now anyone can buy abilities, special upgrades and weapons and also vehicles. It's a really fun game, come to think of it.Quote:

Another thing is that at first I thought the controls to be a bit clunky, but I got used to it now and it's not too bad. The shooting is fun and satisfying imo. The only weird thing is the grenade throwing. It takes a bit to get used to as you have to throw REALLY high sometimes just to get that extra distance.
I actually have no complaints about the game. I have seen a few people moan about the camping and sniping but whatever. It's not bothering me much at all. I haven't seen too much camping, and as I've said before, if snipers camp, it's really easy to find them and get them back. If you can't spot them, drop some white phosphorous on their ass :p
