Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: The release of Battlefield 1942 for the PC in 2002 was a milestone for online gaming, creating a highly popular middle ground between traditional first person shooters and massively multiplayer online games. Like Battlefield this new game is essentially online-only, featuring huge battles between opposing forces of humans and aliens, with each side possessing a completely different set of vehicles and weapons. Although it’s set in the Quake universe the connections to the other games are not important. As you might imagine the overarching plotline is not the going to be winning any literary awards either, but actually the game is much better at telling a story than many of its contemporaries. Instead of just capturing flags or anonymous control points all of the game’s levels have a very complex series of interconnected objectives. For example, you might be assaulting a based requiring you to first bridge a gorge, then knock out anti-aircraft batteries, before taking down the base’s shield generators. Character classes are just as involved, with engineers, field ops and the rest all having a very different range of weapons and equipment. As complex as all that sound though you can still choose to ignore it all entirely and just play as a soldier and run around shooting bad guys. Although developed by British team Splash Damage this includes the latest in graphical technobabble from original Quake creators iD Software, in the form of MegaTextures. The idea is that texture patterns are never repeated and there’s no fogging or pop-up at all. Whatever the technology used though the game is hugely impressive to look at and after the mild disappointment of Battlefield 2142 looks certain to become the next big thing in online PC gaming.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Won;t even work!!I can;t even get the game to work properly, checked all my pc setings and they seem ok, i have over the minimum requirements and latest nvidia card. After doing a google search i found that 1000's of other people have the same problem as me and cannot play the game due to ultra slow frame rate where by the game almost freezes constantly. Shame! Rating:  - Unsure at first but grew to love itI was looking forward to this game coming out ever since I saw the trailer for it. When I first played it offline against bots I thought it was quite fun but its not until you take this game online that it comes into its own. Bots can be predictable and not prone to human error. The basic premise of the game is thus: One team attacks and the other defends. There are two species you can be. GDF (human) and Strogg (alien) each species has 5 different sub-classes all with their own unique skills so a good balance is needed to complete a level and different objectives need a certain class to complete it. The game will let you know which class is needed to complete the objective. The tactical map also provides you with bearings for the ... Read More: Rating: - Its Strogg-a-rific fun for all the family (well the male members anyway)Actually the game-play is pretty simple. The Strogg [soulless fusions of decaying flesh, bone and metal, twisted evil by centuries of war ..etc..etc..] have finally arrived at earth, intent on harvesting the human population and turning us into them [rancid Borg style]. Naturally resistance isn't futile and the Earth armies have unified into the GDF (Global Defence Force). You can fight on either side and have an arsenal of weapons at your disposal, and of course the Stroggie ones have a pretty equal equivalent in the GDF forces: e.g. the Strogg Cyclops offers similar destructive power to the GDF's Titan tank [and both are destroyed by similar tactics/weaponry]. You can play as soldier (heavy weapons grunt), medic (yeah right), field ops (reconnaissance), ... Read More: Rating: - Good..but not worth 4 1/2 * ratingokay...this game, is pretty good. i was originally gonna get it on 360, but the 360 and ps3 verisons are crap compared to the PC version!! i was still a bit sceptical, but i picked it up for a fiver (brand new!!) at my local gamezone!! i played the first mission on the "campaign" and got into the second mission, and turned it off. imo..this is basically BF2142 crossed with quake. and imo, BF2142 is a better game. this game can get really frustrating, even on easy, it is quite hard to kill more then 2 enemys with ut dying in a big firefight! the enemys seem to be able to kill you easier than u can kill them! but other than this, the graphics are great, no lag if you run it on high spec pc, basically, its good if you can pick it up ... Read More: Rating: - Good gameI very much liked this game. His predecessors of the Quake series, were, in my eyes, extremely bad, but this game I really liked. I've already played for over 350 hours, and now it is getting a bit boring, because there are only 12 maps, that's why the fun doesn't get 5 stars. But it is a good game apart from that. + Good multiplayer gameplay Easy to understand interface Fun to play with the objectives you got to complete Cheap +/- Graphics are good, but not exactly brilliant - Not enough maps There should be more maps The AI is really stupid (but ey, it's a multiplayer game) |
