For some reason I remember the older footage of this game looking a lot... better? I don't know, it just seems like it took a HUGE animation/graphics hit for some reason.

It does look pretty dated now for some reason...I actually remembered the gameplay videos to look a lot better than how it showed here.

At this point I guess, we should stop feeding the troll. I was making a broad statement, which should also be evident to you. But since you want to take everything literally. The game looked great when it was first shown, now it looks like a rather old first person shooter. Lastly, if my comments are all you have to concern yourself about; then I feel flattered and sorry for you in equal measure.

There are opinions with well formed text to back them up, and then there are just pants on head retarded posts like that.

Says the guy who hasn't even bothered to state or even back up his opinion? Seriously. Shut up unless you're actually bringing something to the table than, "LOL PANTS ON HEAD RETARDED OPINION."

I'd assume it would be pretty evident as to what I'm commenting at, but if not then I'll just point it out, compare a model from 1942 and this and then come back to me.

So when I saw the single player this game looked like it had incredible graphics. WTF happened? The game looks like Battlefield 1942...

Glad to see somebody else sees this. Watch the first trailer they released, using the Bjork track, and then watch the most recent gameplay trailer.

It's literally night and day.

That first comment is a prime example why I think all comments everywhere on the internet should be moderated and judged.

Yeah man opinions just suck, am I right?

I could not tell the difference between the teams at all. Is that a style choice, or what?

Looks okay, but the sand effects look cheap (both in terms of tactics and as a visual) and the animations seem soft. Being on your back and having someone kick your head onto the floor should look painful, no?

Single player looks much better. Which is awesome - that's where the focus should be.

Man, I was so hyped for this game when that first VGA trailer came out, and yet the more it exists, the less I care.

It kind of reminds me of a more realistic (and worse looking) Brink.

The teams look kinda the same. I dunno, this seems kinda... bad? Why would they show all this awkward crappy animation in a promotion video?

I'm planning to buy this for single player anyway, but man...

That trailer makes it look like it would be a Free 2 Play MP game. I do not see myself owning a copy of this game unless I get in some Steam holiday bundle for super cheap.

Looks like it'll be decent, if not particularly noteworthy. Although I doubt anyone's gonna be getting this for the multi. Still, nice that they try to justify/tie it into the story in some way.

I don't know, feels like it's missing something.
Maybe the future soldier beta is skewing my views of 3rd person shooters.
