Yeah...
There are a ton of bugs and issues that should have been ironed out before this game went to the factory, but now that I've been able to play more than a few rounds or two without the game locking up, I'll admit, it is a decent shooter when it works.
Besides the server side issues like the 1-2 second pauses, there are somethings that they need to address asap because they do essentially break the game.
Have you guys seen players swimming on Frost Fire? That's one of the funnier glitches when you see it live for the first time.

yeah i agree.
Yay nightvision. Im not to bad at the game now. I dont know much about the game modes, but I'm having fun. I prefer the 8v8 games instead of 16v16 because of the wait time if you die
nightvision only work on certain levels? cuz it isnt turning on for me

nah, it seems that there is an bug in server side software and the servers dont scale up, meaning they can add new servers, but system still crashes... but you have to realize that 25,000 users at the same time is quite a lot - warhawk never had more than 6,000-7,000 at the same time, and it sold >600,000 copies...

Don't mind that it cuts out while running but i agree being forced to use the closeup OTS w/ NV is a pain. Played extensively on night levels last night for the first time and got a headache from that view heh.
EDIT: Just read the update and found this to be pretty funny
So soft launch on Oct 14 and real launch ~Oct 28, we all get to participate in the beta!

well then. Im going to browse through the strat guide at work see if it talks about the system at all.
Im doing alot better in the game than i expected. This is the type of game I have been waiting for. I love shooters, but I get tired of games like cod where you just run around like an idiot. If i wanted to do that I would play UT3. Having some teamwork and strategy is just awesome. I wish there was a better way to zoom though

Seriously. Anyone in the beta and not full of Sony shit could tell that this game was going to be a disaster for at least the first month.JB1981 said:

I fixed it.......by going and exchanging it. My copy must've been corrupted because this one installed in about 10 minutes and it's working fine.

So basically, it's like trying to review a pineapple by biting into it like an apple.
The game is good, but getting at the gameplay is glitch filled, piece of shit.
This is how I would describe it too, I'm not touching this game until the patch is out. Also, I'm glad they're willing to re-review it after the patch comes out.
yea, 1up's (Joe's) review is spot on. really a shame too.
"The good news is this: When Confrontation's working like it's supposed to, it's fantastic. It's already going toe-to-toe against SOCOM II for bragging rights as the pinnacle of the series in my personal ranking, and that's saying a damn lot. The game capitalizes on the best features of the SOCOM series, delivering long, deliberately paced, exceptionally tense matches where one wrong move can put you on the sidelines for lengthy commiseration sessions with your fellow deceased."
I can't play the game until they fix the scopes, it's just way too frustrating.

This is why CoD4 hacks shouldn't be reviewing the game. While he's correct on all the game breaking bugs at the moment, this is a person that shouldn't be reviewing a game they have no clue how to play. The auto-grenade toss is BS and should never be in this game. Being able to precisely control angle and length of toss is what a game like this needs, and uses superbly. Changing gun views? Does he mean scoping? If so, that's realistic.
The game is not Call of Duty, and should not be gimped for it being it's own identity. Nor should it be punished because he doesn't like realism. The game has a rabid following for a reason. What a fucking scrub of a reviewer they have there.
Surprisingly, the 1up review is the more logical. Saying they're going to re-review it once it's patched up.
As a sniper, this is something I HATE about the game. How can't you aim down on a near 45degree angle 10' down? I couldn't figure out what was wrong, there were no "yellow diamonds", but I was shooting the damn wall right in front of me. Nonsense. They need to fix that and FAST. They need to fix that, throw in a bunch more weapons for balance purposes, and get a party system in there. I'm sure their patch will fix some freeze ups and random game bootings, but they really need to get that other stuff fixed asap too. Before it's too late and the game gets written off.

i tried to get into a game with my friend today for maybe 20 minutes. when we finally got in a room together we waited in the lobby for a few more minutes until the round was over. then his game froze for like the 5 time today.
its going to be even more fun when the rest of my friends get the game, ughh.
