He exaggerates. The only problem on the PS3 is the occasional FPS dip, and slow loading textures. After a sizable time investment, I didn't have any of the problems he mentioned.

Problem is War did it & had the great single player experience.
You could have chosen between 3 different characters with 3 different unique transforming traits.
The levels were designed for variation & repeatability.
I also really hate hearing that there are now stealth only sections in this game.
They're not stealth only, I wrecked every Decepticon I came across.
there was screen tearing as well
I'm typically very sensitive to screen tearing, I played the PS3 version, and I'll be hones in saying I remember seeing very little tearing. On the other hand, I instantly saw it when I went back to my copy of War for Cybertron on PS3 to check on some things.
In no way would I call the PS3 version a "disaster", but I also didn't play the Xbox 360 version side-by-side to compare.
oh I dont think its a disaster, but I wanted to mention the tearing in case some people (like myself) cant stand it.
While I did like WfC, I can't agree with any of this. The variations between characters were minimal and the levels were overly long and far too similar to one another. FoC's campaign is superior in every respect.
None of the stealth is forced. You can run and gun your way through the two "stealth" levels with no penalty whatsoever.
No, absolutelyI'm just saying that I usually notice it very easily (hello Uncharted), but I don't really remember it bothering me here. I almost wish I hadn't read this, because now I know I'll go back to the game and notice it instantly. *heh*
And this is one of those cases that shows how hard it can be to review games, because you often don't have the ability to give a full play through of multiple versions to do direct comparisons. Like, I honestly didn't know that the "blue pixels" in the PS3 version were a graphical errorI thought they were a purposefully-chosen stylistic effect. I strangely liked the effect, and now I know it's just a screw-up. *laughs*

Escalation has difficulties now. You can select easy/medium/hard when you're hosting. No idea if this shows up in matchmaking since I didn't even check it.
Honest question, is there an "end" to WFC's escalation? I got to wave 18 or 19 once, but the amount of the huge tanks that would spawn (two per wave at that point) would just kill us through attrition. I dunno if it terminates eventually or if you just get swamped by large amounts of dudes.

That's disapointing too. I loved the boss fights in the first. The one where Tripticon was falling towards Cyberton was INSANE>

Well la dee da Braggy McBragster.
As far as I know there is no end to it in WfC. Once you hit Wave 20 it just repeats until you die. There are YouTube videos of people hitting the 60s.

I'm just lucky
Can't wait to stomp around as Grimlock.
I'm just jealous. I probably won't get around to buying this til Christmas and by then I figure the multiplayer community will be meh.
I wish they had a game mode like MechAssault's Juggernaut mode.
Smaller mechs/bots take on a larger mech/combiner:
Maybe have two game modes:
1) Destroy a target (or level a city, etc)
2) King of the Hill gameplay - Survive as long as you can while people take potshots at you, whoever kills you becomes the new Juggernaut/Combiner.

Oh ok.
Btw, the SP is really good so far. It's hype.

hmm that's rather strange. Maybe the PS3 can't handle the newly updated UE3 engine. These updates were designed around gears of war 3 anyway.

Good thing I went with 360 this time after playing both demos. I usually get most games on PS3, but if there's perfomance issues and visuals that just aren't up to par - 360 it is.
Installed the game to my HDD and it's running smoothly.
Yes i did notice that after posting. Tried it on normal and it did give a decent challenge.

just finished the single player mode, and wow that was kinda fast and short and unexciting.....
Reason being is that there are zero surprises for you. its like going to watch rush hour, and then you found out all the jokes they showed on the movie, they already showed on the commercials....
i dunno, yes we knew we can control grimlock, we knew about the metroplex reveal and bruticus, etc. Other than that there was nothing new to surprise me. also, i dont think i ever heard anything about dark energon, wth? I see no reason why they crap'd on the co-op mode in place of a supposedly better story-telling. i think they needed more time to craft the single player, imo.
pick any weapon you want was kinda okay, except that the campaign was so short i only leveled up 3 of them, the rest were kinda meh weapons. Not enough exploration to try them all out.
Im gonna try escalation right now, it might alleviate the disappointment that i bought this from steam, ugh.

I never finished the first game - was its SP that good? I played the first couple levels of WFC and thought t was kind of boring.
I'm liking the SP in this so far due to the pacing and the different weapons are fun to use.
Btw, here are the planned DLC packs. I might get the Dino pack.

Are the bot packs just skins?

I think so :/
And they're charging $10 for each pack, so I dunno if I'll even get anything. That's price gouging for some damn MP skins, yo.

I approve. Better than messing with the MP balance, which already sounds pretty bad.
Just wish that Acti would get the memo that PC games cost $50 at launch and not $60. PC gamers can't trade it in or buy it used, so there's no way to mitigate that cost.
My ego is bruised.

Fairly certain that they can't use the name "Slag" anymore for various reasons.Slug
The dinobot one says its multiplayer, actually. I remember the devs saying that they found a way to put them in, but i thought it was just the unlockable dino heads. I hope they won't imbalance the game.
Of course, escalation could also be counted as multiplayer. It would make a lot more sense to just make an escalation map with the dinobots playable.
Slug
Hey, at least he's in, unlike Sludge. The treatment he gets in this game infuriates me, given he represents my favorite dinosaur.
And come on High Moon/Activisiongive me a pack of female Transformers. I have money right here waiting to pay you for that stupid DLC!

Understatement of the year.
Some of the loadouts/combos are completely horseshit.
Several character concepts and ideas they included just flat out don't work due to ineffectiveness in the face of some cheeseball crap.

Has he played Dragon's Dogma, Darksiders II or Sleeping Dogs? This game is up there, though.
caved and bought the pc version. Loved WfC and so far this is good too. The campaign seems like a big improvement, and everything looks great and clean on the pc. Escalation seems ok, may be a step back. Multi is good fun....haven't played much though and also haven't played WfC in a while to compare. I was having a good time in all modes and don't see any glaring flaws yet, well other than matchmaking needing a patch. SP is the biggest improvement.

Man this MP is great. Really wish I'd gotten into WFC now. Haven't even played anything aside from TDM. Love the depth and strategy and the maps are all designed pretty well for both forms. Loving the medic. Have only recently started to learn how to fly away from the big boys and track down the power boosters and health regens. Anyone unlock combat medic yet or whatever? How much does it boost damage?
I had way more fun with FotC than with Darksiders 2.

Maaaaan, is the demo not available on the AU Xbox Marketplace? I can't find it for the life of me. Bummed.
Destroyer becomes ridiculously powerful once he can increase the speed at which he can fire his rockets.
Annoyed that they gave him Hover Slam instead of the Soldier / Titan as I'll never replace Barrier.
Going to see a lot of them in MP.
And I will never get the 3 caps in one game of CTF.
