Opinions? I rented it, and played it non stop till the return time. Its like GTA in a warzone. And nothing beats calling in a bunker buster on the US Embassy
However, im not sure how much longevity it has. Things seemed to be slowly repeating, and the map gets covered very quickly. So im still undecied whether my cash should go towards it

As far as i know Zakath swears by it and he usually knows a bit about FPS. I've still not had the opportunity to go to my mates and play it :/
I wanna get this game. The description on Amazon sounds very appealing
Nothing is off limits, Nothing is impossible, Drive any vehicle, Use any weapon, Destroy anything and everything. You are a mercenary in a completely interactive battlefield environment and the only rule is there are no rules.

It sets the world limit quite nicely. Its marked off and if you cross it for too long, you get air striked. So its fun playing chicken for 2 seconds before you get killed.
And i've not seen one non destructable object yet

Ive got it, its tough trying to keep everyone liking you, but the Chinese hate me, but they are *****. The S.Koreans hate me too, but its tough having them hate you cause they shoot homing missles at you everywhere you go.
Good game though.

I've seen trees go down. Most of the time they just set alight though.
Its hard keeping both SK and China in the good books as it seems you are constantly doing contracts for each that invovles blowing the other up.
Try falling out of favour with the US. Its hard to get around with their choppers after you constantly

Beware this game. It does get repetitive, and Im now stuck on a mission, but the game doesnt grip me enough to give me the determination to finish it.

What suite are you hunting down on it? I got to the diamonds and found some repetition creeping in then.

Its a Diamonds time mission, for the mafia, I have to hunt down and kill 4 targets stealthily. Killing them stealthily is impossible after the first target, as is the mission cause you get about 30 seconds to destroy about 8 S. Korean APCs with TOW missile launchers and theres loads of troops swarming about too. If you dont kill em all fast enough you wont be able to chase the chopper away and you'll fail the mission.

Ah yes, i did that one. I ended up having to snipe the pilot of the chopper. And the tank commander was hard to get, as China hated me at the time of the misssion. I could have done with that bonus too.
The artillery missons are nasty, as you're told they are behind the most fortified positions, and all you have to deal with it is C4, and jammed support for ages

Just got an ace cheat.
Go to the Computer screen where Merchant of menace is, and go to the faction screen, then press up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right to get infinite health. Input it again to turn it off.
It also makes whatever vehicle you are in indestructible too.
this should make the game less repetitive, as I wont keep on having to re do missions again and again.

also, for free cash, right, down, left, up, up, left, down, right.
Again, enter that on the PDF faction screen. this will allow you to have free cash, which will be handy so you can buy helicopters to quickly search the landscape for cards
These work for PS2 and X box

I found that this game got boring an repetative.

True, but it shares many qualities with FPS.
I borrowed it off my friend today and was fairly impressed. Not really my cup of tea though, and i was a little disappointed with the destruction of the buildings. Seems a bit of a cop-out just covering them with dust so you can't see them collapse :mad:

Yep.
