First take on SOF:PB

I posted this over in the -=TN=- forums, I hope this helps some of you.

Well, Just played, in a way kinda disappointed in my 40 dollars being spent on this, buttttt, I have this feeling there will be hope in mods.

I could see a HUGE mod coming to this game to make it fun.

Pro's (So far)
- Great selection of Weapons, many different kinds
- Hit boxes seem to be on, you don't have to use iron sights, however, using an iron sight, still lets you use the crosshair ( which I like )
- Sprinting without being able to fire (Seems fair to me? if you wanna fight, stop sprinting.)
- If you are "Critically Injured" you get 5 seconds to fire with your pistol, I like the concept, seems really fun for revenge kills ( To remedy this, fire at the person "after" they fall. )
- G for grenade is nice, no switching to grenades
- Melee attack is nice if you get lucky enough to get that close.

Con's
- Lack of tweaking, as said before, no console, no changes to graphics, extremely bad bindings ( only way to switch weapons is to cycle - however, you have G as a grenade button, and you only cycle through 3 weapons, so not that bad ).
- That I could find, no In game chatting.
- No health bar
- Crouching is a bit annoying, once pressed you stay crouched, have to un-press it.
- No Cd Key, No Punk Buster
- Few Maps

Yeah, just a little bit from this end.

Bottom Line - A Mod is needed to expand this game, but as it stands it could be "imho" a very fun multiplayer game between us here at FoS, thats if you can stomach the 40$ price tag. The game is fun, and its simple, not at all complicated, obviously skilled players can over take the lesser skilled players, but everyone is killable. Ill play around with it more. Im not losing hope, I did enjoy playing it.

*Edit* Just read some things about it and thought id through them in, There are new patches coming out for the PC that will fix Vista problems, and another patch coming out soon that is supposed to add some more PC features to the game, we'll simply have to wait.
