You should check this out if you liked Rainbow 6, Rogue Spear, or Operation Flashpoint... I was expecting just a rehash of Rogue Spear, but it is actually a pretty fresh new game...

When it starts getting hot, put your team on 'suppress'... it'll give you goosebumps

Man!

This demo kicks arse!

And, it runs better than Rogue Spear, despite having much more detailed graphics.

Yeah: agree completely about the goosebumps bit. Had a coupe of machinegun guys with me: WHOO THMOTHOMPTHOMP

DROOL time.

And downloaded at 110kb/s, not too shabby

Can't wait for this game to be released. Kickass!

My lunch is moving in on 4 hours long... oops.

Really great fun!

Still addicted to OFP but I have a soft spot for the R6 series. OTW home to DL.

Downloading it now.

The R6 series was and is one of my favorites.

If you are expecting RS, prepare to be a bit surprised.

I gave a synopsis of some of the new stuff on the LJK board, in this thread

There are a few issues, but overall... wowsers... the first of what I hope will be several great games in the next 4 months.

Sounds a lot like OFP from what I read on your board. That's a good thing.

Kratzer · « **Reply #7 on:** November 06, 2001, 05:48:00 PM »

yep... but on a much smaller, and more intense scale... I suspect it will be a nice companion to OFP when you are in the mood for something different.

Damn.. locks my puter up 5 seconds into the game

Many of the guy sin my squad play R6/RS/UO and compete on a ladder for it. We are planning on playing Ghost Recon when it comes out.

If you ever have the need to play RS/UO, feel free to give one of us a holler, we'll let you know when and where to join one of our games.

Raub and I just played a couple hours of co-op in the demo... that is one helluva fun game!

funkedup · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2001, 02:05:00 AM »

Yeah it's A LOT better than RS/UO. Definitely gonna buy this one.

That demo's a blast. I love the trees swaying in the wind and the sounds are pretty good. Only problems I've noticed are some pops coming through the speakers once in a while and one time I walked into a house and the walls disappeared and the floor turned into a mirror looking thing.

Definitely on my must buy list.

AKDejaVu · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2001, 11:17:00 AM »

I had to download the latest drivers for my vid card to get it to run without locking up. I get those pops occasionally too.

Other than that... the game is simply awesome. It beats Rogue Spear and SWAT3 to death

I've got the pops too.

But no graphics problems, and it's surprisingly stable.

Is there a manual anywhere which explains how to control squads or give orders to an individual trooper?
