Termite forums are down :( i recon they closed them down (or bandwidth exceeded) cause the sheer amount of angry gamers. I'd of loved to hear all the comments recieved >:D

I was so looking forward to this game, but it runs like a slideshow. I have a 1.6ghrz Pentium 4, 256megs RAm and a GeForce 4, and I get about 2 fps, looks pretty, but there's a price.

Pass.

WORST. WATERMELONS. EVER.

Wtf,

It told me that I didn't meet the minimum requirements.

I have
----------
Athlon XP 2100+
1.5 GB DDR (3x512) 333FSB
2x36.9 15,000 RPM HD's
160 MBps SCSI Adapter Card
GeForce 4 Ti-4600
DVD Burner, Floppy, etc.
Win2k w/ SP 2.

Yea I'm pretty sure I can run it.

buggy is how i would describe this...

anyway i found a major bug, dunno if this has been mentioned, but if you have a radio message up(not sure which one), and with the glock/starting weapon(only tested this on my own as I couldnt join other servers), on the syndicate(not sure again about the other team), it turns it into a machine gun with unlimited ammo.

and the usual cant change mouse sensitivity/crashes on changing name etc...

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME

this game does not work. you can't join servers, people can't join your server. you can't change mouse sensitivity, you can't even rebind some keys. it looks nice and pretty, but it is certainly not playable, don't waste the time/bandwidth. also the system process managed to take up 240 megs of memory, wtf.

just a heads up for those of you thinking about downloading

PRESS N TO BUY WEAPONS

they failed to mention this anywhere, thanks!

Maybe I'm the only one.. but I think this game is pretty cool so far.

It's a little buggy for an MP release.. I couldn't change my settings so it ran smoothly, but from what I saw it looked great. It was kinda jerky at 1024x768 (on a p4 2.4 w/GF2MX) but it's probably my video card.

The walking motion feels very solid. They could tone down the motion bob a little bit, but it feels very real. You seem to move forward in small spurts, just as if you were walking.

The maps look amazing. Once they get all the kinks out.. it should be a cool game.

Hmm maybe its time for some of you to regret your comments
on the Global Ops beta, at least it ran right?


Bwahahahaha

2.0 patch is sweet ass

This thing runs fine, no servers show up on the browser to join so I can't say anything about netcode. There are some graphical glitches with the shadows but with everythng turned up to max at 1024x768x32 it flies on my system. Like someone said earlier, it feels very solid running around, you feel "planted". Bought a Aug, ran around shooting things, I like the sounds of the gun and the shells bouncing around realisticly is nice but if I can't actually play other people, there's no way to tell if there is a game here or not.

I was looking at the readme and I saw this:

Pentium 600 Mhz processor or equivalent (Pentium 900 Mhz recommended)
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP
128 Mb internal memory (256 Mb recommended)
32 Mb memory videocard (64 Mb recommended)
300 Mb free space on harrdrive (500 Mb recommended)
3d Soundcard
DirectX version 8.1. only
Latest available drivers for video- and soundcard

anybody with win98 get it to work?

This game is the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen.
and no, I didnt get it to work with win 98

Sounds like poo. I tried running it. Didn't have any problems running in D3D, but couldn't find anywhere where they said how to get another gun. Whoooooops!

Into the Recycle Bin with this one, Chief.

T-Bird 700

game runs really choppy for me. lots of texture swapping going on.

models are awesome.

lighting is awesome.

running around feels solid. you can feel each step connecting with the ground, and you feel like you're actually running forward. it makes it feel like you're really in the world.

reload animation is freaking cool. your player reaches back to grab a clip, and your view moves a little to the left because you have to twist a little to reach back.

sounds are great. textures are super sharp.

i just wish it was less buggy. it seems like the game only runs in 1024x768 even if i choose 640x480. grr...

please, please, please fix the bugs, oh lone developer. this game will totally kick ass if it gets repaired.

what version nvidia drivers are some of you using who were able to load the game(mine crashes with a kernel32.dll error)? I'm using a geforce2mx

I love you Fileshack!

If you have a SB Audigy: turn the sound acceleration to "basic" in DXDIAG. Then the game will run normally.

Another NWO tip.. the F1 key will show you real time FPS and poly stats. Don't forget the "N" key to buy stuff.

There is a driver update on creative's site dated 1/2002 which is newer than the files I had (11/2001). That helped a little. Now the game runs with NO SOUND, rather than sorta hanging like it used to.

MS sound hardware test wizard for microphone still returns an error though. Again, turning down acceleration to "basic" in DXDIAG fixes this, then I can turn it back to "full" after the calibration is complete.

I (heart) Creative Labs! "Labs" filled with driver writing geniuses!

Sounds Crap-Tacular!

I haven't read a positive comment yet!

Yay for crappy beta releases, YAY!!!

the game hangs when i try to join, start or even bind my keys

you'd think there would be some sort of internal testing before releasing something for the first time

Worst. Release. Ever.

This game is NOT READY FOR PUBLIC TESTING

Started my own server, couldnt buy any weapons and I was lagging like I was on a bad 56k. Tried to change the video options while the game was running, but I dont think it made any difference, the video mode never actually changed.

Couldn't join any servers, it just sat there on the loading screen, and it crashed on exit twice, and crashed when I tried to bind to ';'.

The server browser is incomplete.. it doesnt show the pings to any servers either. Seems like this demo just isnt close to done yet.

Mini-review so far:

- Crashed when I tried to bind a key to semi-colon
- Hung twice on quit, had to fire up Task Manager to shut it down.
- Readme is sparse as hell, I can't figure out how to get or buy weapons.

Someone please tell me how to actually play the damn game, and I'll make some judgements then.

Crap, I can't get the game to run. It seems to have some kind of weird sound problem. I can mouse around all the options but it just hangs when I try to start a game (either as host or remote connect). Anyone else getting this to work under WinXP with the nvidia 28.90 drivers? I also have a SB Audigy with what I guess are the latest drivers.. hard to tell with Creative's crazy-ass driver scheme. I only know what Prody the Parrot tells me.

Real interesting visuals to this test, everything looks really crisp. Nice textures and attention to graphical detail especially how everything is realistically shadowed. No it's not quite playable yet, but once some bugs are ironed out this might not be too bad.

HW Shadows not working right, netcode not working right, and I saw no difference between using OGL or D3D at all. The detail sliders don't appear to be working but the gamma/bright/contrast ones do. Needs alot of work but as a test it at least works - although I guess not for everyone.

P3 1GHz/GF3/512MB RAM

m and n will open the buy menus, ~ will back out of menus

doesnt load for me, just hangs at loading screen, i have to end task on it

oh well

This is one of the worst MP tests I have ever seen, I'm sorry.

I know a test is to work out bugs, and find faults, but I think the biggest fault with it is:

Did the developers even try to play their own MP test?

There's too many problems to list, too many obvious bugs, too many shortcomings. It's not worth the time.

So its been at the loading screen for like 5 minutes now. DELETE. Man the Unreal 2 leaked beta almost a year ago worked better than this thing.

Well in summary, good graphics, but plenty of bugs, need's optimizations. I'll definitely play it once it's all fixed up (they only have one programmer though).
