HAHAHA

c07 Shotgun
- Its a shotgun

 

The demo has not yet unlocked for me.

 

D/L now from gamershell, may be fun to play around with the demo and put a gameplay clip up. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Yeh, me too, I was at 40% but my comp froze up when playing a game and had to reboot, just restarted DL from beginning now.

 

Its going slow only 27% and about 240kb/s

 

I'm at 43% @ about 175kb/s.

 

Game loads up, goes to menu runs fast loads fast but when I actually START the game in full screen it loads and sits there all day and I can see my mouse cursor only in the middle of the screen like there is a "hidden" dialog box. If I click the game crashes.

Tried windowed mode and soon as I start the game (not the menu the "new game") it crashes instantly on me.

So I can not play it so far.

I guess I will try to update my drivers to the newest ones but I am only one release behind.

 

Reporting back, the game is awesome! The graphics are great and it performs well on my desktop system with high settings as well as AA and AF. After playing for sometime I did not find any noticeable bugs at all, the game is very well polished and quite fun to play. The battles are really authentic with hundreds of soldiers on screen at a time. The AI is actually pretty smart! The game's environments are extremely rich and detailed making you feel like your in the thick of it! This game is extremely promising.

 

I got it working after installing new drivers and rebooting, its a pretty long demo and seems like the game may have some potential.

Kinda has a HL2 feel to it, not a very open environment I found myself hitting invisible walls often.

 

this has got to be one of the slowest downloads ever. arghh!

 

I've just finished playing the demo......I won't be rushing out to buy this game

A short review for you guys

basically you are a time traveller protecting history, you travel to different famous (or should i say infamous) battles through time and make sure it goes as history says it does.....you use the weapons of that time (so basic musket etc right up to some futuristic huge multi rocket launcher kill everything on screen gun)

the graphics are (the screen shots look really good but I played on high settings and they were very bad) erm pants ok maybe not as bad as say Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood but not even close to COD4

its basically turn up kill a few people....move to another point on the map and kill more people then leave.....(with a task or two like save someone inbetween)

you do the training and first level in the demo.....and it had already bored me

However someone may enjoy it

Lets just say its times like this you'l be glad you played the demo and never went out and wasted your money

I hope this helps you not waste your bandwidth or cash!

 

i lol'd at that
