What I hate about this one is that you have health bars. So, basically you kill one guy and then you kind of have to die (can't go all out).

Still a pretty fun beta though!

Why would you have to die? Find some cover or something and/or if after killing someone and possibly be in the clear just press L2 and use your medkit to refill your health?

I tend to find some cover, poke out shoot someone, go back into cover, heal up, poke back and continue. I move my location every once in a while though to help prevent me from getting surrounded.

 

On average I die 7-8 times per game while getting 18-25 kills. On one ocassion I had 18 kills and 0 deaths.

It all depends on how smart you approach the battlefield.

Wow wait, you can regenerate your health à la Battlefield: Bad Company 1 style? Dayyyumn. I need to play with the controls a little bit more I think!

But from my experience, it reminded me of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark times (didn't play multiplayer PC shooters at the time). Some good, some bad. But like you said, you find cover and poke out to shoot someone sometimes (or as I call it "camp"), then move out after a while and repeat. So I guess my point about not being able to go in the fray still stands.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

You call it camping, but I call me being smart. If I have people shooting in my direction the last thing I wouuld do is go commit suicide by running out into the open.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I'll be skipping this game.

There's nothing in it that I particularly love and lots of things that are kinda meh.

I believe Bad Company 2 will provide the superior experience (and dare I mention KZ2).
