A multiplayer-focused, class-based first-person shooter running on id Tech 4, in which oppressive soldiers and anarchistic terrorists battle for the few remaining resources on a failed paradise known as the Ark.
I got this game for sure. Looks great so far. I hope all goes well with the PC version though. Otherwise I'm gunna rage shit. But I got my preorder from D2D for like 41bucks? It was 38$ but then they HAD TO add tax!
I got my Pro-order from Gamestop. But only because I had 150 bucks on my Gamestop Rewards cards. Otherwise I probably would have gotten it from Amazon.com or Best Buy: One of the two pre-orders that give you an exclusive weapon.
Preordered at GameGears on a special offer. Have since been upgraded (free of charge) to the exclusive steelbook version, and get a discount on either RAGE or Skyrim.
This, what's the point? If you're getting the PC version, Steam has unlimited stock, if you're buying a console version, nothing sells out in big-box retail stores anyway. I've never had trouble finding a game on launch day, even late in the afternoon or at night. I guess if you live in the middle of nowhere and don't have many stores to go to, preordering has it's purposes but outside of that, it's kinda shitty to have someone hold your money for nothing in return.
That being said, I look forward to trying to game first, before buying. It looks like fun, but there's a lot of team-based shooters in my life and there ain't much need for another.
Looks like this might be hit and miss on the PC what with the campaign multiplayer element and matchmaking. As far as I'm aware the way the campaign multiplayer is going to work is that you'll face a new team on every campaign mission, regardless of win or lose. Because each team needs to win for their campaign to progress, the losing team in any match will stay on the same mission but face another team, while the team they lost to will advance to their new mission and also face another team.
Freeplay should act like any other FPS with dedicated servers.
I'm positive Splash Damage thought of this and it won't be an issue. Sorry for the random rant, but that's why I'm going to play it safe and buy it on the 360.
I've pre-ordered it from GameStation here in the UK and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be getting the DOOM and SpecOps pre-order bonuses.. which I could take or leave really. I'd rather have the Limited Edition Steelbox but I'm a sucker for nifty packaging.
