when you sprint you cannot shoot
when you crouch you have to hit the button to stand back up
there are a total of 3 ctf maps
there is no INF

I'll give more info as it comes.


so now, cod4 of tf2 for me.

wow, that list of things not there is ridiculous.

have to agree, its a bust

anyone get it? i picked it up, but after reading that, am hesitating opening it.....

Wow, look at all the old crew coming back. If you folks are interested in reactivating the team back, I am all for it.

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.

well, not needed masada, i did buy it too, and i wish i hadnt, with no cd key required everyone can go download it and just play it like that.... fun huh? i wasted 40$ on this too, played it for 20 minutes and got sick of it, but there are some things i liked too, most of which u covered. one thing that sucsk u cant jump or turn when sprinting either. they need a huge patch and some way to get peopel to need cd keys, and developer console. without the consol, there will be no patches

[{OF}MillerTime]

dam.

maybe CoD4 has a chance. atleast after the fouth release in the series they got models to move without looking like a claymation cartoon.

There may be hope left. I emailed Cauldron, the devs, basically telling them how much they left out. The lead dev actually responded to my email within the half hour, with this to say:
Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your e-mail. We are really sorry that your first reaction to the game is negative. We are carefully watching forums and we can assure you that there will be an update for PC coming soon with new PC features.

Best regards,
David Durcak

I'm guessing the were pressured by higher ups to release for Christmas for the holiday bucks. Sounds like it should ave been delayed until next Christmas Maybe the developers misunderstood which Christmas they meant.

Played it, played first person for short time. Then tried the multiplayer, had fun for a while after getting comfortable with controls. Going to give multiplayer another go in a few minutes. Lots of games coming out, ut3 next, and maybe even cod4. I'll hopfully be bring the wife with me as wing-woman.
