<div class="IPBDescription">do we have this thread yet?</div> it's friggin... amazing.

the realism is really great. the weapon sway + iron sights aim variables = VERY realistic aiming.. take it from somebody who actually goes out and shoots for fun, this game got it DOWN!

there's so much more.. the particle effects <3 omj

and the glow is tasty <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Must get and test vs. reality

    Where can we get reality, so I'd have something to test it against?

    My dad purchased it today, and I stood over his shoulder and watched it a bit. I wasn't all that impressed with the graphics (the quality actually seemed to have dropped since the first few screenshots were released). The gameplay seemed okay, but unless my dad had the artificial intelligence set to "stupid", the AI isn't groundbreaking. The Axis didn't seem to notice my dad shooting them with a pistol; most of them stood around and watched.

    Not to mention the player run economy..

    There is <i>no NPC interaction</i> with the economy?

    Back on topic. I got BiA yesterday and started playing it on Normal. Didn't seem to be any problems with the AI, in fact the squad AI was awesome.

    I love the fact that aiming isn't perfect, meaning you can't rambo everywhere (ala CoD). It means the tactical element comes into play very nicely. It's really easy to give orders and have them followed the way you want.

    I like that the crosshair is disabled by default, but I ended up turning off the supression meters as well for extra realism. It made it too easy because you know where all the enemies are all the time.

    The graphics are impressive, to me anyway. All in all I have to say it's the most enjoyable WWII FPS I've played yet, and I'm only a little way in.

    If you haven't considered getting it or are sick of WWII shooters, I urge you to give it a go, the tactical element makes the gameplay fresh and interesting. Highly recommended <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    A failure, just like FoM.

    I've been waiting for the BiA PC version. Is that released?

    Decent, but the gravity of any unscripted events is diminished by your 'dead' squadies returning each chapter.

    However, it's a minor gripe; fantastic game, really intuitive commanding, loads of lovely effects like dirt and blood IN YOUR EYES, brilliant scale even if at times you feel shepherded into battle and some house-destroying bass explosions. What more could a person want?
  • esunaesuna Rock Bottom Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15175Members, Constellation
    There's a good number of things i like about BiA, the characters are fantastic and the dialogue is great, also, the easy to use squad commands and birds-eye view make commanding your squad simple, the engine, being on the Unreal engine, runs pretty slick and looks pretty nice, even on my piece of crap computer, however, there are a few gripes.

    So far, the only tactic i've needed to use is flanking. Tell fire team to move to cover, suppress the enemy, i run around and flank them, wash, rinse, repeat until the level is over. Infact, every single map so far has consisted of doing this. Also, having to constantly order your troops around (because no, you can't just rambo off) is slowly becoming a chore and not at all that fun. Finally, there's not really been anything so far that can match up to how cinematic CoD or CoD:UO was, which is quite a let down.

    and this game makes combat totally realistic.. it's awesome <3

    no more sh*tty CoD WWII combat... honestly in CoD and CoD:UO i wanted to bind "forward" and "shoot" to the same button so i could hold my head in my left hand. *yawn*

    i can't see how you're sick of realism when the market, quite honestly, hasn't provided us with much in the first place.

    Durr. Look at all the constant failed attempts, the WW2 games, the anonymous desert combat game, the Counter-Terrorist games, and compare that to the number of over-the-top action games like Doom 3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 that have come out.
