So, normally I look down on most pseudo-military shooters with as much disdain as a parisian does at american tourists. However I'm sick of waiting for Armed Assault and it's sequel.
A friend of mine keeps telling me to buy it, just so we can play online.
Now. Has anyone played it? Their opinions? I have pretty high expectations for games that have the slightest pretense of simulating, you know. Guns firing, bullets hitting people, or a war. So, it was no surprise that to entertain the idea of buying the game I've had to make a concerted effort to lower them in preparation.. Do you think given my proclivities for gaming-snobbery I'd get too pissed off with it to enjoy it?
I really don't know. I don't want to spend 50 bucks on something I'll play once and toss out the window.
Some of the ideas in the game seem, alright I guess. However where I really hit a wall is in weapon performance. Anything that smacks of counterstrike puts me off in a heartbeat.
Any requirement on my behalf to devise arbitrary unrealistic strategies to score hits with weapons that are "supposedly" realistic, (such as the alleged recoil patterns in Counterstrike) pisses me off. Primarily because I've grown used to applying crazy things like real world logic and experience into my gaming strategy.
That may be a handicap in the case of most retardo games, but it pays off when I play something like OFP.

Online wise, BF2 is the best FPS in my opinion, but off line however, the singleplayer maps are to small and AI sux. I like the fact that you can rank, get medals ribbions and so on with out being part of a clan. If you buy it then *only* play it online unless you need some more practice in.

Devil_Starr, are you incapable of receiving private messages or something? Some very important people are trying to contact you. This is your conscience speaking.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Thanks for the fourth post in a long string of wholly unnecessary and superfluous posts to explain that the previous posts were, in fact, unnecessary and superfluous.

Battlefield 2 multiplayer sucks dick online. No one works in squads and they dont like to defend flags either. If you want a good war game for online, then get Day of Defeat Source.
