Honestly... after your review.... I'm a little reluctant too now. I mean... let's think several years back when Unreal came out... what did you do? Walked around enjoyed the scenery and killed the occational bad guy. Only thing that really seems to change... the scenery, it get's a little better.
Or is this just me?

**edit**
I forgot to mention that you did a GREAT job BTW.

LOL thanks man. Essentially it is a linear game, go here do this, but kill everything that gets in your way. Its worth a look, but not a groundbreaker.

Ya got what I ment thought right? I think one of the MAIN reason that Battle field 1942 became sooo popular was due to the fact that you had more of the same BUT... with the added benifit of now jumping into a vehicle!! This added something new, something to break the same ole same ole. (yeah yeah I know Unreal XMP was first...)

I played the demo it was crazy all you did was shoot aliens(you hold down the triger and walk forward). I would spend my money on COD2 of BF2: Special forces or F.E.A.R (if you like being terrified).

This game was out before BF2 (let alone Special Forces), COD2, or FEAR were even released. My reivew just somehow just got lost in transit.

Dont stress about it though Danrok, you explained what happend, and your reason is more than good enough.
