Tried this out on hire for the weekend on xbox360 until the new rig comes and I have to say I would be lying if I wasn’t a little bit concerned having blapsed out £1300

How anyone manages to cap anyone on a controller is beyond me…..the only game that came close to being playable as a shooter is anything rockstar do……aim…..shoot……aim shoot……flick up for a headshot.

This game is the same as any other shooter on a console I have played…….I get butchered…..don’t know where from…….it might as well have been that pretty paper bag blowing about in the wind so beautifully far as I can see.

That said all is not lost…….I know keyboard and mouse is a different beast……I know squading up pays it’s own rewards,offering support, ammo,repairing is the role I can see myself doing on the pc…….leave the Rambo stuff to your max’s and others.

I played caspian border and that feels like a BF map should feel….. Was prone and a couple of times people ran straight past me,I had a nice little encounter with tank where I nearly capped him,and there are plenty of nice angles from which to protect and hold a base,that should be a corker of a map, and I’m sure there are plenty more great moments to come.

But bugger me sideways if I can play this on xbox…….played four games just now……I’m averaging out at 10 deaths for every 1 kill I’m makin…….and I’m normally makin only 1 kill in a round…….normally it’s another Noobie just like me with his sensitivity too high runnin into a room backwards checking out the light bulbs when he was meant to go running in forwards covering the angles…….man down man down !!!

Too frustrating by far……..but I’m not ready to throw in my Arab towel just yet,I scored a lovely slit throat knife kill last night, and the water looks just amazing !!!

it’s all about the pc……..and as others have mentioned, your metro maps and the close quarter battles won’t be for everyone,but if I can find more of this moments albeit very brief on the larger maps,true battlefield moments,die respawn,save the day with he help of your squad………. there may well be enough to maintain my attention until i can get over the learning curve, and start cappin some foo’s for real.

Xbox review…….looks ok,if I had to rear some pigs,grow some vegetables to get some money to allow me to buy more pigs, this would be great……….gettin capped from the shadows whilst you are Also trying to stay low in those very same shadows ?? Not so great !!!

so much attention to detail and it all looks so realistic, I can’t tell an enemy soldier apart from a fruit crate…….I’m great at taking those out btw……..perhaps there’s a ribbon for it ?

Rankin up quickly……bonus !!

Steep steep learning curve ahead of me……I have to persevere I have blown a lot of money for the privilege of a 1-10 kill death ratio at the minute…….I will be interested to see what I can keep it down too on the pc version…….all of my eggs at the minute are in me being able too control the air vehicles I reckon…….new joystick,choppers…….gotta be a piece o piss right ? 😯

Xbox 360 rating if you can play these games with a controller. 9/10

Xbox 360 rating for ageing non epileptics like myself. 4.5/10. (gets half a point as its prob the best explosions seen yet on this console)

It’s because you’ve not played them with us … i hope

Goes without saying……I cherish these tags and everything they stand for……it’s a big part of the reason for the outlay !!

I think there is a headset bundle with the joystick I bought so yer I should be able to come onto teamspeak……I have just rented it from blockbuster on xbox to have a laugh at it before stepping into it as it should be played.

I’m really hoping the reason I haven’t enjoyed an fps since 42 is cos I have been playin em on a console

Find out soon enough….fingers crossed eh

oh man…..this is horrible waiting for this pc to arrive.

i keep checking the parcel tracking and would gladly drive to birmingham to pick it up from the depot……obsessively watching high def videos on youtube of the gameplay

you know you have the bug when it gets like that…..found a great vid last night about 20 mins long of caspian border…..it was going off…..but more importantly it didnt appear to be spawn die spawn die…..the guy was taking cover…..poppin his head out take a few out.

in essence there looked like a bit of space to breath if you wanna hang back and pick people off……i expect a very steep learning curve for me having not played a keyboard and mouse for 7 years……so you might not want me in any important role in your squad at first…..have me runnin for ammo or something…..or a message runner…..go make a brew sort of stuff.

im hoping to get back up in the sky though…..as long as theres not too many jet campers which from the vids i have seen seems to be the case.

right im gonna shut up now…..im gonna go knock one out in anticipation !!

n0m watch this space…….i will know with an hour of bashing it if its gonna be a game i can perservere with……or if its a game thats destined to be one of the most expensive foolish mistakes i have ever made !!

as long as i can hang back…..and not get shot for a period of time longer than say 2-3 minutes…..i reckon i will be happy to perservere !

The choice is simple……must dash foo’s.

Flick em off haha 😀

Flick em off fella 😀

Chrome all the way
