WOW just WOW. I nayed this game on interest mentioning that Online had to be the only redeaming feature. This topic pages is about to hit 60. I can't believe that this game won't do well. I haven't seen this much interest since games like Brawl.

Is this a troll attempt?  I'm not quite sure...

Nope no trolling. I just couldn't imagine an FPS from 12 years ago(PC time) could do so well. It's generic, bland and simple. What I didn't take into account that a perfect game even if old can do so well. Played another 2 hours today(July 2, 8:30am) and still the Single Player game makes me very nauseous to play. I still don't like the relativly LONG STRAIGHT level design. I never did even back in Doom days. Though I finished Doom because I played co-op with a friend. While I still don't think much of the SP game play I can't really fault it. HVS has made a perfect Classic FPS. There is no flaw in regards to technical design. Some people may want more, but HVS didn't even try. It's not a fault for not trying it's just that obviously they felt they wouldn't be able to meat the requirements at this time. Sometimes it's better to leave something out if you don't have the time to do it right. So I thought this game would do poorly because of it's design and age. Unless the Online was REALLY GOOD.

Well after playing a couple of Reaper Mataches I can honestly say that the team games are extremly solid and done really well. I had a lot of fun. I don't normally play online because of connection times, lag or lack of options(Brawl, I really hated that you can set stock mode with max time in Brawl: 3 stock 20 minute limit would have been awesome).

I don't know if I will stop borrowing a friends copy and instead buy it myself.  I just don't know if buying a game for just the online content is worth it. At least the online doesn't make me feel sick. I'll try it out some more before I decide to buy it. Or more importantly if the online population maintains a high number of players that will lean me towards buying it. If the population drops off in a few months then it won't be worth the money.

 

"Quick match, Long Range, Pentagon or Streets, Team Reaper = fan-fucking-tastic"

My sentiments exactly. 



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
