Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood, Strong Language, Violence

Rating summary: This is a first-person shooter featuring two modes of gameplay: single player, in which players control soldiers on a mission to stop terrorists; and multiplayer, in which players engage in team-based combat ("Conquest," "Rush," "Squad Rush," and "Squad Death Match"). Both modes involve using machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers, and rockets to kill enemy soldiers on the battlefield. In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts, and snowy terrain. The firefights contain realistic gunfire, loud explosions, cries of pain; large sprays of blood come out of injured characters during the fast-paced combat. There are also close-up depictions of knife-stabbing (flesh-impact sounds) and melee attacks with a power drill. Multiplayer mode tends to involve more goal-oriented tasks, such as "capturing-the-flag," destroying and defending crates, point-based fighting. Characters use profanity (e.g., "f**k," "sh*t," and "a*shole") during cutscenes and in the heat of battle.

Well, I was seriously considering making this my 1st EA purchase of the year and 2nd since the summer, but I have a renewed love for MW2 (given the n00bs have stopped playing), so I don't know anymore.

Quite a quandry!

no that just means the noobs have ranked up and sales are slowing. anyway have tou played the demo? i tired it this weekend and it doesnt hold a candle to MW2. I wish they had a SP demo too but they dont so im guessing ill pass at least for now.

and..........................

Yeah, got the demo. It's a different experience to MW2. The mechanics of the shooting and all that are definitely a notch below MW2, but the scale is also much larger so you should expect that. It reminds me a lot of BF: 1943 and that's what I like about it.

Whether or not I need a new shooter right now is another story, though.

dz06lt · February 8th, 2010, 08:50 PM

well it wasnt just the controll the graphics were no near as crisp and one thing they add is vehicles which controll horribly oh yeah and

rounds1 · February 8th, 2010, 08:52 PM

The default controller setup for the vehicles if friggin' horendous. You definitely have to change them to be able to drive with any amount of sanity.

Graphics I don't really care about. Again...the scale is such that they aren't going to be as good as MW2's graphics.

We'll see! Every day is a journey.

yeah i sometimes i forget that you dont have HD man your livin in the stone ages

and do i need to add any more dead space to your new found love of EA discussion

rounds1 · February 8th, 2010, 08:57 PM

No more Dead Space, please! Maaaybe some day I'll rent it, but I highly doubt it. I have a backlog of games I still have to beat.

And just because I have no HD doesn't mean graphics are totally lost on me! At least I don't have to deal with all the ugly jaggies you guys do. Games in SD look perfectly fine on that front.

Yes, the grapes are somewhat sour on my end.
