[CAT] Scratching Post

No idea about gameplay, vehicles, balance, maps, hit detection and such. It does look pretty though.

Not getting my hopes up...or my wallet out till they release a demo...or hear good things from the beta.

WTF is that going to take to run smooth?

No shit. It looks to be a step up from Far Cry 2 that's for sure.

A console. The engine was designed for console, and they had a hell of a time porting BF 1943 (which uses the same engine) to the PC because of it.

Yes, the Dark Side has me.

My PC is running games smoother than my PS3 now. They had an interview with the devs of Bad Company and they said it isn't a straight port from the console...believe it when I see it. I've already got the upgrade bug though. I reckon I could get this up and running...couldn't shit it though. I have to say the chopper movements are suspect. I don't think they were being piloted...way too low...moving is a straight line...you wouldn't need to be a shit hot tanker to drop those pilots.

Are the choppers flyable? I didn't think so.

I don't miss upgrade fever. Soooo many better things to throw money at!

Just heard there is no prone. They are clearly not listening to the PC community. Fuck it.

Also 24 players max I think? Fuck em indeed.

Honestly, I'm probably not going to bother with it. I might pay the $15 for BF1943, but $50 for this? Nah.

I won't get it either. Crysis & Far Cry 2 taught me to ignore pretty colors when the game play is lacking. No prone is horrid. Sounds like they are trying to steal some of the ADD COD4 crowd ...kill kill kill die ...kill kill kill die. repeat. repeat. repeat. Fuck I'm still playing BF2 regularly ...

The problem is, that is just about every shooter ever made, except for a few glorious installations of battlefield.

42 was the reason I got into online gaming and built my first rig. The mods for it were simply awesome... everything from FH to BG to pirates to interstate to DC. It was like 10 games in one. BF2 was a close second...other than that...very disappointing.

If COD WaW let you resupply it might have held me longer...some of the larger maps were alright...tanks were beyond ghey though.

Honestly, this is my Winter gaming list:

Batman:AA (no, I still haven't gotten it yet, I really need to)
Bioshock 2
Assassins Creed 2

Beyond that....not really looking for much. I'm probably going to skip over COD:MW2, short of it having a mind-blowing single-player experience. Tried COD4 online a few times, never really liked the feel of it. Skipped World at War completely.

Ohhh, I take that back, Serious Sam HD, THAT will definitely be a must-have. There has never been a more fun co-op experience that you can have online, blowing away thousands of baddies on-screen with 6 random idiots, using all manner of wacky weaponry.
