Sold this bitch back to EB Games after 5 days of it. Zipper Interactive fucked up on this department, so lets hope that SOCOM 4 will be any good. :U
[QUOTE=Turkey72;23601492]The people you heard it from are either: modern warfare 2 fanboys that expected to be able to instantly kill people from 10 feet away with a knife or people that expected a fast paced game.[/QUOTE] It's a really nicely placed, methodical shooter. And knifing is so very satisfying.
I like Domination. On top of fighting against 128 enemy soldiers with 127 friendlies, with no lag EVER, I get around 1k-1.5k exp per game. I got from 11 to 14 with one game, then from 14 to 16 in another game. Awesome game.
I need to play this more. I have it but barely touch it even though it is fun. v:v:v
This game looks pretty cool, any hugely obvious flaws?
Very stiff gunplay and general imbalance. It seems to take 400 shots to down an enemy but only 2 to kill you.

You need to know how to combat the lag. In a 1v1 close range fight, never wait for people to come round the corner, because if the latency is 1 second and they can run around the corner and knife you in less time, then you can't physically react fast enough. You just have to keep moving and be on the aggressive all the time, then you can do well. I suspect you already know this, but i'm just putting it out there for other people that might not have realised.

And the percieved map sabo faction imabalances have been fixed by them being made faction neutral.

Well, those with Heavy Armor on sometimes take like 7 hits. [editline]01:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Almighty;23669431]There is lag.

The information that "the guy is in front of you" reaches you later than "The guy has knifed you"
Okay I am pissed, I am freaking angry pissed. I was going on a 500 score streak in the first 8 minutes of a domination game, owning some Ravens with an awesome team. And my internet decided to fucking black out for a fraction if a femtosecond. ETHERNET CABLE IS DISCONNECTED. And all is lost. Amazing.
Ouch, that's unfortunate. Also, shooting a guy in heavy armor with 120hp perk with a suppressed SMG can feel like forever. So just knife him :D
