BF 1942 sux ass! I shouldnt have bought it, I find it near impossible to fly them damn planes and the key binding is BS when you get those errors about that key being in use already. I will not buy BFVietnam or even DL the demo. Even the COD demo kicked the full version of BF1942's ass as far as fun goes.
Yes flying planes should be extremely easy like it is in all other games? and real life? especially WWII era planes? BF1942 and COD arent even in the same genre, ones an FPS designed for single player with a multi tacked on. The other is designed from the ground up a multiplayer only game. They tossed in some crappy bot AI and made a single player mode.
Difference of opinion son.
I found COD to be nothing but a train ride - it was so scripted it felt like a rail shooter.
BF1942 on the other hand actually feels like a friggin war. Instead of 20 odd guys running around a semi ruined town, you get infantry, tanks, planes, jeeps, ships of war, APCs, and all other manner of craziness. And unlike these other games, the battlefields are HUGE! It actually feels like you're fighting to retake Europe, of Africa, or the South Pacific, as opposed to COD which felt like I was trying to retake the Quake 3 engine.
You be happy with your games, I'll be happy with mine ok?
But you're still wrong because you disagree with me.
peaces.
Thank you! I like my games to be full of fast action and awesome feel not like BF1942 with its cheesy FPS feeling and repeatedness. The planes are easier to fly in simulators than it is in that game. I know its not supposed to be a flight simulator but they actually made it harder than one. This game gets boring fast! I do have to admit that I do like Desert Combat though and thats the only reason I still own this game otherwise it would be in the For Sale/Trade forum.
You played a demo. The AI and the whole code was optimised even more after the release of the demo.
Nothing extraordinary!? What did you expect?

I dig the game :beer: I play on hard, complete the mission very quickly the first time just to build up ammo and weapons of choice, then play again and kill every possible enemy :evil: That includes both choppers, the VTOL plane, the 2 goons in the speedboat right before you go too far and the chopper nukes you for "going out of bounds", the goons in the speedboat and gunboat below you at the end, and the goons in the speedboat in the inlet across from where the sniper stands. I like to use the minigun after rocketing the gun boat and speed boat below. If I don't down the chopper that just provides cover then I can always use the sniper rifle to finish it off by going to the inlet where the goons in the speedboat I sniped were patroling because it hovers on the other side of the mountain making it a sitting duck. It's a prtty big map if you explore it all, and there's a pig like animal by the old zero, and some different ways of getting around.
Sorry but in my opinion you guys need some glasses. Far Cry looks awesome - maybe as good as HL2 and better than what I've seen of D3 (yawn, more dark enclosed areas).

FarCry looks great and all, but DoomIII and HL2 are going to have actual plots that they hired actual writers to plan 
I think the overall game experience on those 2 games will be much better than FarCry.

The graphics are ok, nothing really interesting except for extremely high res textures. Performance is terrible and the polygon popping is annoying. Nothing is really learned from the demo that would make me want to buy the game.

I would actually consider getting Painkiller, but I highly doubt my CPU is up to the task. That game is pretty fun.
Uhuh.... Extremely High Res textures are ok... :| Wait, VIAN explain to me what high resolution textures are.... is it 256x256? Is that high? I'd like to know because you seem to be extremely knowledgable about the subject of high resolution textures.
The purpose of a DEMO is to DEMOnstrate what is so great about a given game so people will buy it. If Crytek put out a demo that makes their game look mediocre and old hat in the gameplay department, then it's their own damn fault, and they shouldn't be the least bit surprised that I think it's a distinctly "average" game and won't be buying it.
You want to see a demo done right, look at UT2004. That demo shows, plainly and clearly, why that game is going to kick unholy amounts of ass. The fact that I only played a demo means nothing - it's the company's responsibility to convince me that their product is worth my time, not mine to investigate it. If you can't gauge a game from the demo, then the demo shouldn't even be put out.
Oh look...this argument just imploded.
I'll admit that UT2004 does look and play pretty awesome but to compare it to Far Cry is a bit of a stretch. I think they are totally different games. UT2004 is online multiplayer while Far Cry is going to have multiplayer and single player as well. I'm looking forward to both of them but if they came out on the same day I'd get Far Cry first.
Also looking forward to Stalker, Half-Life2, and Doom3. Just hope id does something more than a bunch of dark indoor areas with D3.
Where exactly did I compare UT2004 to Far Cry as similar games? I'd like to edit that snafu out.

Something to add about FarCry, they are doing some serious Dr. Moreau stuff, notice the test subject cages on the boat dock. Later in the game there will be far more interesting levels than just mercs, I expect mutants or monsters of some sort, and a far more complex story line than the demo even begins to reveal. Anywho, gaming is purely subjective so arguing is pointless.
for those who don't think they're going to enjoy doom3:
what did you feel like when you were first playing a first person shooter (doom)? what did you feel like when you were playing the first fully 3d first person shooter (quake)?
doom3 is going to be revolutionary. just wait.
