I am downloading the game from EA. You can buy it direct from them for the same $50. It looks like it's going to take about 5 hrs. If anyone is interested here is the link to ealink... http://www.ea.com/ealink/index.jsp?sourceid=ea730

Yeah it's "available" in stores now.... somewhere... maybe... we think... uh no wait today is the ship date. No tomorrow is the ship date. Well sometime is the ship date... Oh you mean you actually wanted multiplayer. We never would have guessed... we'll have that "available" ASAP. We think. Maybe. This has been the biggest joke I've ever seen. I've gotten to the point that I could actually care less to play it now.

My Circuit City said they would have it today at 2:00 pm.
I went there and it wasn't there. Their loss. If we put a server up I may go looking for it again. |

i went to buy copies for myself and Krueger at CC today as they had a Ad in the paper that it would be available at 3pm.
So i get there and the store is deserted. i see about 10 clerks doing nothing. no one would ask me if i needed any help as i walk around the software shelves looking disparagingly for the game. Then, this completely tinny female clerk looking as though i had trap her in to asking me if i needed any help finally asked "find'in what ya need"? Long story short she returned from looking in "THE BACK" and said "Nope, ain't here yet" - "Might come Thursday" to which i replied whatever.... . Meanwhile BB had it on the shelf but i thought better of purchase for now. -------------------- ![]() |

After only MAJOR issues with getting the game installed it now tells me I'm using an invalid CDKEY which is quite extraordinary considering I never had a CD nor a Key with which to have anything invalid. I think I'll consider this a $50 misadventure and screw this game. They are all over their game on this one. I dunno what I expected from EA but they met every lowly expectation I could have had.

Ok so I finally get Multiplayer working. You have to register a screen name to play and that's different from your login name to EALINK which is different from your forum user name for EA. Which is different from most anything else you could ask for. So anyway, I played one round. This is not our new game. Go buy Day of Defeat for probly $10. Basically the same game play. Complete and utter waste of my hope and interest for the last several months. Blah.

What was wrong with MP in your opinion? Because the dedicated
server option is not available for 2 weeks, it has to be hosted by some joker on his own PC which could be anything. I just stopped by Best Buy and they had 10 copies come in and had 5 left. I went down the street to Circuit City and they had gotten 6 copies in and only had 1 left which I bought. I have not tried it on MP yet. I may wait till the patch comes out to give it the big test..... JIM -------------------- |

Where to begin.... The recoil on all the guns is insane. Not to mention the muzzle flash that is blinding. The rifles are way to hard to aim as well as it takes forever to get a second shot off. The sprint feature causes the graphics to go into a headache inducing blur. You cannot hear your enemy at all. This is not COD for sure. The game play is slow and cumbersome to me. Just not what I would expect for a game that was as hyped as this one. They basically copied the game type from Day Of Defeat and most of the guns shoot just like Day Of Defeat. To me it's Day of Defeat with lipstick.

Holy crap, the game actually exists !!!
Carol dragged me to Circuit City to look at new LCD tv's. So I figured I would check and see if the game was there. They had 4 of them at $39. So I grabbed it. Stay tuned for the Shred analysis. I'm installing. |
