Took the demo for a 2 hour spin last night. Overall I thought the game was OK. Not terrible, not great either. Reminded me of a Mercenaries / Battlefield blend.

Definately not worth a $60 purchase in my opinion. It’s one of those games I might pick up 6 months from now when I can get it used for $20. GRAW is where my money is heading tomorrow.

I Played for a little while last night. I had a little fun. The single player might be better. instead of throwing you into a fight and nobody knows what to do.

My problem with the graphics is that they’re too blurry. Perhaps it’s my TV/cables but it’s the blurriest game I’ve played on my 360 so far. I can’t wait to ride around in that thank with the huge rocketblaster on top tonight

When I first started to play the game my first thought was..how disappointing. But after a while, when you get into it, it’ so much fun…and coop with a friend is even better. Well, ok…graphics are just average, but why is everybody just judging on the graphics. The gameplay is so much fun and its a fresh idea…and by the way, don’t comment until you really tried it.
There are so many cool ideas in the game and its just fun to blast your enemy away with an airstrike or destruct everything with a big tank.

Hurray for free multiplayer demo’s by the way, had much fun last night for free. I think the gameplay is too chaotic (but that get’s less after you get the hang of it) and the graphics are mediocre and blurry. MP was still fun too play and I’ll be up for some games tonight too.

Most of the people I’ve played with have said they are enjoying it a lot. I am finding that the players who have only spent a couple matches online lack the playtime to make any kind of judgment call on the behalf of the game’s quality. I’d say I’ve played at least 30 matches and I am finding it very fulfilling. One of the most enjoyable demos I have ever played. With 6-8 player matches, the battlefield gets very chaotic, upwards of 80 characters on the map all at once. Turrets, tanks, soldiers, and jeeps litter the battlefield. This is easily one of the most unique experiences on XBOX to date.

I like the game. I think the controls of everything are a little wonky, but i think i’ll get used to it and it’ll feel more natural after some time.

8/10.

i love this game guys. true the graphics are average and so is the sound, but the gameplay is sweet. i just played a match where we had all buildings captured, well almost. then we got access to huge tanks and airstrikes. man, that was some wicked fun. u will hate if u are expecting a fast paced twitch shooter. if u like rts and give it a chance, damn fine game. 7 out of 10 for the demo, only bad part is lame vehicle control.

How long would it take to download with a 512kbps speed?!

And is it going to be another game that only works in 6oHz mode? Because my (relatively new) TV for some reason doesn’t like it, yet it worked fine for the PS2. Stupid technology!

To the people complaining about download speeds: did you check your port forwardings?

By: seth

y’all,

i have only had about an hour hands on time with the demo, but it already seems to scream mediocrity. it is possible that i have not had time to absorb the subtler nuances, but all the data and numbers on the screen seem to take me out of the game, especially when there seems to be a little amount of explanation on them (again, i have not had time to fully explore). i am tiring of most of my online 360 FPS options though, so this will do nicely to fill the gap till the graw demo comes out, or cod 2 patch, or graw itself.
i also gotta say i feel the outfit demo has more to offer than i have gotten out of it so far, and everyone should give it a shot. and george, i respect your views, but i agree with trigger m4n, it is not a sim, it is not intended to be accurate or educational, and because it is such an intense and interesting subject matter, WWII material has been (in my opinion) presented surely more offensively than this, without protest. but, again, i respect your thoughts.

Am I the only one here who thinks it’s good? Damn, I got a bad taste in games?

By: MartyMoose

MartyMoose — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 21:10:38 +0000

I’m at 54% after 2 hours good damn I want to play this or just anything for that matter. I hope this game is good after all of this.

My mate was downloading this, and he started at about 6:40pm, it’s now 9:07pm, and it’s only 80% done. What’s going on?

By: Nino

Josh ; we are having some fun atm playing online but I don’t think the game itself is that good. Not worth my money atleast.

By: jOSH

the outfit - 97% complete
after reading this page I’m worried it’ll be rubbish

i mostly agree with guy but the there are exceptions (Condemned, Elder Scrolls, Fight Night) to the otherwise slightly disappointing lineup of games but i think a BIG part of this is because it is still early days.
compare Max Payne to Metal gear 3, it looks like it was made on a different console in comparison. just give it time, the games will start to roll in

I’m in the Uk with a VGA cable and get that error. Not going to waste my time disconnecting and taking my 360 downstairs, so I deleted the demo. It’s pathetic that a console demo should be released in this form. So much for MS’s certification dept…

By: Lorne

Lorne — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 20:21:35 +0000

I played it for awhile with a VGA cable (1280×720) so that can’t be enough to cause the error. I’m in USA… maybe the demo is only showing the error for European 360s?

To Guy……

So fightnight 3 is pathetic is it… your talking out of your ass…
What do you expect next gen games to be like? do you think they will look like films..?
Yes the jump from PS1 and PS2/xbox was great, but its not all about what you can see on the screen, is about fine tuning, this takes time. I too I’m p1ssed off that i can’t play an online game without lag, but please it’s only been out 4 months…… they will get it right soon.
Maybe for COD3

Outfit is definately not next gen.

Well I was impressed with Fightnight round 3… that looks next gen to me.

Am I the only one that thinks we might have gotten DUPED!? At least that’s what it seems like so far, and I’m talking about Xbox 360 in general, not only this demo. The only excellent game out so far is Call of Duty 2 and honestly, would you be overly surprised if you played it on your regular Xbox? It looks better, but not ‘Next-Gen’ better, am I right? The leap between PS One and PS Two and Xbox was MUCH greater than Xbox to 360. All EA Sports games so far have been pathetic, Xbox versions are actually BETTER. And even with CoD 2 we have rediculous online problems that STILL haven’t been fixed. Specs and Techs aside, the games and gameplay so far have been a major dissapointment, and everything hardly seems Next-Generation. Maybe I’m just impatient, I know the launch games and first sets are never the best, but I was really expecting much better than this. Seems everyone spends way too much time Hyping and not enough time Developing — Or maybe it’s just me…

Guys, this Call of Duty 2 business is getting rediculous. Wasn’t it like over a week ago when they finally said “very soon” or something like that? Any news? At all?

Talkin about the patch of course.

Anyone else played it yet? opinions? Wasn’t all that many people on it, so I came off, waiting till more people have it.
There wasn’t any adverts for it on MarketP. though, I think MS should inform us more, by a message? Or atleast in the news bit.

I see what you meen George, but it is only a game. If it was a simulation of the reall terror of war.would it sell?
