Codemasters--Really? - Games

So I was watching a bit of E3 today and Codemasters was up. The game they were talking about was Body Count. It is too bad to describe in words. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saD0tZX5TTM[/media] These were the guys who made Operation Flashpoint, right? I have never played it but have heard it is the best military simulator. First Dragon Rising, and now this. :Dawkins102:

They didn't make Operation Flashpoint, they published it. Bohemia Interactive was the dev team. They split from Codemasters over a disagreement over artistic direction and renamed their franchise to Armed Assault.

Arma is the franchise name. [url]http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58556[/url]

Didn't Codemasters make the shitfest called Turning Point: Fall of Liberty? This doesn't surprise me at all.

whoa that was really bad they should stick to racing games (or did they not make those too?)

What's wrong with it? It's a bit generic but nothing OMGAWFUL

God damn them and their shitty pre-alhpas.

Oh god, Looks terrible.

Call of Duty's singleplayer is not as bad anymore, eh?

What's so bad about this, again? It looks decent.

Not one of you guys have said why it's bad, you just say IT'S AWFUL with no further explanation.

Basically it looks like an average run-and-gun to me.

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;22693514]crappy "destructible" environment (which is supposed to be the highlight of the game)[/QUOTE] That might be because it's pre-alpha gameplay

pre-alpha

[QUOTE=OutOfExile;22693521]That might be because it's pre-alpha gameplay[/QUOTE] A pre-alpha that already has a set release date isn't a good sign.

what the. Is the only weapon an XM8 with infinity ammo?

Alright.. So, apparent virtual reality program, one man against an army's worth of goons, a single assault rifle with 800+ rounds in one magazine (from what was shown - could be wrong), semi-destructible environment. I'm not going to say it's awful or a MW2-rip or such, but this game has nothing really going for it from what they showed, besides the big guy carrying a mounted machinegun looking like he was from Borderlands or something along those lines.

It looks good though

YeAH

Honestly, this is the kinda thing I'd expect from pre-alpha footage, I guess It's not exactly exciting to watch though and not great for advertising a game.

I have to admit, the prospect of [I][B]another [/B][/I]FPS game, regardless of who makes it, doesn't exactly thrill me.

Slow-ass tracers drive me crazy.

Its the same people who made Black. Thats what they're trying to do again pretty much. July's game informer said its all about teh gunz. and the environment.

oH CRaP! :bandwagon:

It reminded me more of Borderlands with slightly less cartoony graphics.
