It's a good review. Prtty much those that like this game like it. Those that don't don't (and become head IGN admins

)

but the most annoying thing of all is the lag. The introduction of moving Titans into the game has obviously resulted in a massive increase to the number of physics and positional calculations when enemy players board the Titan, and the end result is nothing short of a disgrace to online gaming.

disgrace to online gaming pretty much sums up titan mode & don't forget the sentry guns shooting through the walls. Really poor work by EA/dice

Conquest mode on the other hand is great, its not without its flaws but its a really good challenge & can be lots of fun.

The guns, unlocks & awards are great too. :wink:

Good review scud :icon14:

Titan mode should of just been some sort of objective mode... maybe massive FIXED ground emplacements with shields and giant walls to breach.... prolly would of worked a lot better.

i still find it strange though that despite the lack of update after 1.10 the game still somehow managed to screw up the IFF with APM and other mines... a few weeks after the patch comes out, more than a few of us i think were utterly confused when all of a sudden all of our mines started triggering on any moving targets within range including friendlies and ourselves.

Nice review. Well done mate

with titan, you should have been able to attack all 4 consoles at once, and if you get like 2 or 3 of them, the door blows open because you've destroyed the majority of consoles. this would eliminate the 1 corridor, 5 attackers, 2 defenders, 7 drones, 3 apms, 2 Rdxs

great review btw

Lol since when do you open doors by blowing up the consoles anyway? It's like turning off a TV by snapping it's controller in half. I think that the all consoles avaliable is a great idea, and you can open the door by inputting codes into the console, maybe into 2 or 3 of the consoles, it would also help the RDX blowing up teamates with the console.

I still maintain that its a silly game.

Soz · **Posted:** 10 Jan 07, 10:11 pm

Thanks captain obvious, if it were serious, it wouldn't be a game now would it?

the game is great even with its flaws. The only thing i dont like in titan mode is people setting apm mines above the hangar so the shuttles cant take off. The unlocks are hard to get but r a good idea. I think people should just deal with the game and if you dont like it dont play it.... :lol:
