Anyone else picked this up? Just played a little bit there and it's cracking fun. Kind of like a Fallout though more arcadeish feel you can also play with 4 players online or split screen. Gain exp for kills and can buy weapons.

Anyway I'm liking it so far and any game that has Mutant Pigmy Psychos has something going for it.

Just saw a trailer for it at the cinema today, looks interesting, and if it's anything like Fallout 3 then I'm sold! Will see if there's a demo about.

Been playing it for a few days now, absolutely love it! Love the drop in drop out multyplayer parts.

Only a lvl 20 soldier just now, shoulda been higher but there's so many new games i've got to play at the moment.

Playing it too, although also just got "game of the year" edition of Fallout 3.

Great fun tho.

This is ridiculously difficult at times.

The whole "leveling" thing just doesnt work in a first person shooter and it can be pretty frustrating having to headshot a guy 20 times with your sniper rifle cuz he's 2 levels above you.

Halfway through a mission here and I'm finding it tedious instead of enjoying it.

Well if your having problems you should go shoot someone else till your closer to his level. Thats part of the point in levels means you have to avoid guys tougher than you. I kind of hate the games where things level up with you, defeats the point in a way, though I think weapons really matter. Good weapon makes a huge difference I found.

Really enjoying this though and have found the odd guy hard certainly helps having a good weapon and seems to make more difference than level, bit Diablo like in that way.

I tend to find in most games like this that my level usually keeps in balance with the enemies.

Check the mission you're on and the suggested level you should be to take it on, if it's too high just grab some lower level missions till you get there.

~LEE~ · 25th October 2009, 9:39pm

Nah, gave it to Shug to try, then I'll trade it.

Besides, my uncle gave me this game called Fallout 3, the game of the year edition.....gonna give that a blast.

Eulonima · 25th October 2009, 10:16pm

things levelling with you = boring as fuck.

also, dont fuckin play it single player ffs?

2 decent players can easily do quests 2 levels above em, get better xp and better loot at the same time, ive played it pretty much 3 player since getting it and its GOTY...seriously, fuck everything else this year, i mean ill get cod, but i still see me playing this long after ive traded cod.

Excellent game...only level 10 so far thanks to trying to be a 'hard man' and taking on a cunto four levels above me....ended up losing about 2 grand in cash and about 2 and a half hours game play.....stioll tho.....fucking GREATA game.

@ Lee......Fallout 3 is fucking awesome.....i think you may lose many an hour on that game lol

Mainly bought this for multiplayer but there's a known bug at the moment doing with the game saving incorrectly when leaving a multiplayer game, it removes all your talent points completely but you retain your level.

Only way to sort it is by starting a new character. They had better get it patched soon, till then fucked if i'm playing multiplayer. Hopefully get a patch to fix it by time i get to my second playthrough on New Game+

played about 30 hours of multiplayer, with 7 different folk so far got 3 characters level 20+, not heard a word about this or anyone its happened to so far, plus its been patched, but afaik that was for a phasewalk bug

level 50 arena is teh fun, they need to add in more PVP stuff besides 1v1 duels (2v2, 2v2 ctf, plus they could do plenty of zany rpg style gametypes), it could be fuckin awesome.

GoTY.

You level 50? Not too far into my second playthrough yet, started a new char with some of my mates. Apparently there's DLC due before christmas!

Loving this game!
