The single player demo used to be a laggy wank fest (!) but now it looks like they fixed it

DO NOT GET THE MULTIPLAYER DEMO IT'S STILL A LAGGY WANK FEST IT IS PURE SHIT

The multiplayer demo is the worst I've ever seen. At all costs avoid it. If you buy the real game, at all costs do not install the online components. This is WWII Online all over again, and the fucking idoitic developers don't have a clue. Overall, this game is pure shit

Single player demo: 2 1/2 out of 5 stars

Multiplayer demo: negative infinity out of 5 stars

heh whats your problem?

Today I sunk six carriers ten battle ships, shot down eleven planes and caped seventy four flags :D

Snipers IMO are useless and the lag you refer to is the completle lack of client Side Prediction


So sniping is like this

You






--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------Your Target----------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each - indcates a possible place he could be, of course you have no @^@^ clue, I set up a Lan game and I shot a guy in the foot because although to him he could see me and I could see him the fact he was jumping up and down, was not visable to me....
When he steped left and right I COULD not him him

Right now the game runs like melted butter but there are three problems
1. The No Bullet prediction
2. Snipers are useless IMO if you don't stand still your impossible to shoot,
I mean even crawing along the ground in a strait line towards the sniper I've had them miss four times then I easly shot them
3. The Ships and Some vehcials have a Bullet pass through problem, I even have a screeny of a tank shooting THROUGH me and hitting a plane behind me(me being in another plane) no way he could have shot over me as I was directly in front of him and the plane was directly behind me suddnely I was *phase cloaked and it was realy cool then I ran into a building trying to get around the tank and apparently it was phase cloacked to as I died :D

Keep in mind that the demo was released in June. Hopefully the full version will be much better....this game has a lot of potential IMO.

I think this game will be buggy as all shit considering it's being released by EA.

Lot of potential, but don't judge a book by its cover, it'll probably not be very good. This isn't the WWII Operation: Flashpoint. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
