Do you guys think I can buy this at Walmart than return the new sealed Amazon copy with my Walmart receipt when it arrives (fucking 1 week from now)? Will the barcode or w/e scan properly? I've done this way back but I dont know if it still works.

The only issue I still have with the control scheme is how doing a 180 turn feels. It really feels like I'm moving through some thick mud or something. This wouldn't be an issue if the game didn't throw enemies at you from all angles, but in some of the later levels, it does do that.lawblob said:
It's not a huge issue by any stretch of the imagination, but like I've mentioned before, a quick-180 button would've been nice.

Yes, that's what I'm doing, I bought my copy at Walmart last night and have been playing it, when my Amazon copy arrives I'll return that one to Walmart and get a refund.

Good question. I'm not certain how that would work, but it is Walmart...
If your store is anything like the one here then the clerk at the Customer Service desk will just take your receipt and game and refund you. No questions asked because they can throw it back on the shelf to be resold. You'll need that receipt, though.

I can't get enough of this speech, I watch the full intro every time I launch the game.
The only thing I dislike in MP is that there is too much information on the screen, I don't care who killed who and I really don't care who's the player in front of me.
Red eyes = ally
Blue light = enemy
Please give an option to remove these info.
Oh, and I really like the 'faction' thing, so you can spawn near the leader and don't waste time going to the objective.

Just completed it....5 hours 22 minutes. Very short game. I didn't rush either, but in fairness I didn't spent time looking for intel/Helghast symbols...still, every minute of those 5 hours was sublime Time to head online...I'll come back to single player later
Had something weird happen too....mid battle with

Umm... just wow. What is wrong with Sony's first party studios and online multiplayer? Why isn't there a party system in this game? Am I suppose to keep attempting to join my friend in an online game only to be slapped in the face with a "The World is Full." message. Ridiculous. Warhawk had the same problem and that's why I stopped playing it because it was nearly impossible to get a good game going with friends.
You guys better start petitioning this sh*t, seriously. This should be a standard online feature... especially for Sony's first party studios. I mean, Resistance: Fall of Man did it day one FFS.

I've read somewhere that you turn more quickly walking in a tight circle rather than trying to do a turn from a stand-still. (if that makes sense...)
I'm on the fourth chapter of the SP campaign, hasn't been an issue yet...

Im' not going to lie to you, I just destroyed an entire building with a machine gun, the pillars came down one by one as I blasted away. It looks incredible on my HDTV... anyways, don't mind me, back to playing.
that part was awesome. =)

I played on Normal, and did seemingly the same thing as him (didn't rush, but didn't go out of my way for emblems), and finished the game in basically the same amount of time, so I'm going to guess Normal.AranhaHunter said:

Watch the COD:WAW one. You'll find it especially hilarious if you play the game and understand what he's talking about. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it, but the ending is epic. With that voice and those interview skills guy should join WWE.

I take back my cry baby bitching about the lag from last night. I'm dealing and the game is fun as fuck.
My complaints still stand with the lack of death notification. I find it hard to tell where it came from because I just slump. I have no idea I'm even being shot at... what gives?
I also dislike spawning way back at the spawn point away from EVERYTHING. And dman... some of these levels are HUGE.

Early spoilers on this:

So my problem apparently was that Garza died and his body disappeared.

When Sev gets out of the tank there is supposed to be a cutscene. The vehicle the guys use in the cutscene appears too but I can't get on

5 hours doesn't seem like much, but honestly, I didn't even realise how "short" it was until I checked my statistics, which was after I first posted my impressions here. When I finished the game, I didn't feel ripped-off, in fact, the game's length wasn't something that I even thought about.
My copy is coming tomorrow. Looking forward to it... i'll just say it's a shame Guerilla never did end up solving the load hiccups. I remember a while back they said the pauses would be gone once the streaming tech was implemented. Well, from the review footage i've seen looks like they didn't quite make it. Only thing that spoils the presentation... I know, can't please everyone....just seems like such an obvious immersion breaker to me....hope it doesn't piss me off too much.

Finally leaving my office to pick this up. I should finally have it within the hour.
Rez said:
Yup...played on Trooper. Still, I don't mean to sound negative, I enjoyed the hell out of it! Later levels got quite frustrating, but ultimately very satisfying
Managed to get all the time related trophies first time through as well, none of which I even tried to do quickly aside from the Heavy in under 1 minute trophy, which I'd read about. Now back to trying to get logged in for more than 10 minutes at a time so I can play some more online...lawblob said:
I leave controls on complete default for single-player, and I switch to Alt 2 + zoom hold + crouch hold (off) for MP.
It works perfectly fine and I don't get confused between the two control schemes, mainly because MP moves noticeably faster. I was pleasantly surprised with how quicker it is to turn 180 degrees in MP.

I see, my first playthrough is on veteran, I think it'll take me about 8-10 hours.

Took me 11 hours on veteran. Though I'd wager 2 of those hours were when I was punching kittens and kicking puppies because of the frustrating bits. That was also looking for intel etc.deepbrown said:

sorry guys, i didnt realize my sound system could be heard so easily through the headset. Well, also ive had it BLASTING all day. hahaha.
Eh, it's not exactly a serious problem as it only crops up in logical places. I mean, sure, it would be nice if they had eliminated it, but pretty much every other major shooter on the consoles has the same issues.Pallaris said:
Hell, UE3 games on the PC actually end up with worse load stuttering (Gears and Mirror's Edge, for instance, both suffer much more from this problem on the PC than they did on console).

Holy crap the endless feedback that plays through people's microphones is the most annoying shit imaginable. I just bought the newer mic yesterday in preparation for this, but I might have to resort to playing without it. It's actually not useful at all with the constant ambient noise; can't even hear anyone who would want to coordinate. crap.
