Is it a direct port from the console version? How is the multiplayer?

Ive seen the ads too and wondered that.

Typically, any game that's directly ported out for PS2/Xbox/etc are graphical disappointments (ala all the Star Wars game, etc)

It's not a port per se, all 3 versions were developed at the same time. If you've played deus ex 2, thief 3, or the punisher you know how badly co-developing a pc game for consoles can cripple the pc game.

My only question is "how is the multiplayer?"

How many players for the PC? Is it just 2 v 2 like the consoles? Or can you get a good bunch, 20+, on there?

Just got it in but I'm still at work.

I'm at work too. Never played the PC version.

Xbox version was really fun.

is the PC version out yet?

Just read their forums. EVERYONE is upset with this game. I guess multiplayer is 1 vs 1 controlling AI squads. Think I'll pass on this one.

Haven't gone to pick it up yet. When isn't a game released these days when someone isn't pissed about some part of it?

True but multiplayer is the name of the game these days. 1 vs 1 or 4 vs 4, thats old school DOOM action. What happens when you beat singleplayer in a week.

Been reviewing it on the Xbox. Nice atmosphere, but it's quite repetitive and it has zero replayability.

For me, it's kind of a mix between call of duty and full spectrum warrior. Fun at first, but it gets old real fast.

Played singleplayer on PC a bit (15min)..

it looks just like another WW2 FPS, few minor improvements. Nothing major. I give it 6/10.

Best game ever made. waited since april got it march 3rd ps2 version out sometime. pc version out the 15th. Great game. Just... amazing nothing bad about it. Few glitches though. Best graphics are on pc. multiplayer is 4 people 2 teams- fire team attack team- its fun.. but repative. its fun commanding your team online with other people but its not fun when they just throw gernades where you spawn lol

Go and buy it you will not regret it!

It's pretty far from being the best shooter.
