Here is a picture of Steve Milburn "Director of Marketing" i found over at SF's website.

Take a look and ask yourself how you COULDN'T trust a guy like that. lol

Yeah, and even that isn't saying much, considering how unbelievably terrible G.I. Combat was.
Oh well, at least Strategy First, their old publisher, won’t be the fall guy this time when squad ASSault hits the shelves to overwhelmingly negative reviews. lol
BTW, I love how big Eric Young's ego is, in regards to putting his name in the title. This hobo should eat a bit of humble pie in my opinion. When was the last time anyone saw "Will Wright's : The sims"?

YAY!! don't you just love consolidations? Now, instead of buying crappy games from 2 different sources, you can just depend on Microids for all your crappy gaming needs...

Go Mistmare!!!

"My speakers? Hell, I tell my woman to stand at least 6 feet away when I unleash my titan."

LOL, nice one Dr.Del, you had me laughing for 10 minutes straight with that one.

I guess now i understand that line on the back of the box that says "...the fate of the Atlantean people is IN your hands.."

Even though the campaign isn't that long the game is still worth 40 bucks. I bought it yesterday and i almost fell off my chair when i saw my Atlantian Titan emerge for the first time. Be sure to put your speakers up when you unleash your titan for the first time!
Aside from 1 new race and the above mentioned Titans, there are enough minor enhancements to keep me playing for a long time. I'm curious to see how Titans will effect multiplayer battles...

My mom went through the same thing, so i know how you feel right now. Best wishes to your mom for a speedy recovery.

D.

Holy cow! those are some nice screenshots! To bad it looks like just another generic shooter.

If only they could make a new Close Combat game using an engine like this (~sigh~)..

Reading #15's post sparks a lot of sadness and anger in me. Speaking as a former employee of the above mentioned publisher, I can assure you that publishing quality software that actually gives value to the customer (you guys) is the farthest thing from the president's mind. He'd put "shit in a game box as long as it would sell" (actual quote). And given the fact that the publisher just laid off half its work force (including the whole QA department!!!), well, I guess I can just leave you with the following words of advice. Stick with Half-life 2! lol

Your friendly neighbourhood insider,

Jobless in Montreal

Sounds good. Its about time!!

I'm so tired of hearing about shitty game coming out soon that have no business being on PC in the first place. I've played this game before and can say with the utmost certainty that this "game" is a turd.
Do yourself a favor and save your 30 bucks, you'll have more fun flushing the toilet after you've just gone for a poop than playing OMF:BG

Just a random thought...
...Wouldn't the game's title be awsome for a crime fighting superhero duet that loves to fart everywhere?

You know guys, in a way I feel guilty. Making fun of Russian games (aside from Tetris and IL2) is kinda like shooting fish in a barrel. Poor bastards, the guys who made this shiznitch probably work 25 hours a day and get paid in alternate forms of currency like toilet paper and Levi's jeans...
But I consider it my duty to let you fine chaps know when I see a stinker on the horizon, so I shall not fail you in this endeavor.
Oh and while I’m here, I might as well start a debate. The high proportion of crappy games coming out of these eastern countries can be tied directly to the rampant software piracy that goes on within those same countries. Because Russian developers know that there is little chance of getting profits from within their own borders they send the games here and sell them for 29.99 or more. And since they don't make money at home there R&D budgets are always low. Any comments?

This game is the essence of crap. In fact, because its bad on such a massive scale, you could say its craptacular!
It will leave you doubting your faith in humanity...

The sound of crickets can be heard somewhere in the distance....
If a game fall in the forest, does anybody hear?

I can understand yours and everyone else’s frustrations with all the delays. But I can tell you as an insider that the game will be going gold this week and that changes in the past month have turn orb from an average game to an awesome game. So in my opinion, this is a case of a delay actually giving the developer a chance to make the game better. I've been playing it all week and I especially love the espionage option, which should not be underestimated. It's such a cool feature and adds a lot to the gameplay. Anyways, i hope they release a demo of this game so you can all see for yourselves...

The following scene includes harsh language and brief comic mischief. Any resemblance to actual people is purely coincidental...

12-year-old boy: "Hello man who works outside, did you know G.I. Combat looks like ASS! And I’m not talking Jenna Jameson ass, I mean smelly old homeless person ass after he just soiled his pants with green diarrhea".
Man who works outside: "You should stop playing games and either get into art or by a 3d design program."
12-year-old boy: "Uh...yeah...whatever. Why should I do that?"
Man who works outside: "because then they wouldn't have to train monkeys to make some of these games that have BARF inducing graphics. Monkey are gentle creatures, and would rather spend their time swinging through the jungle and throwing feces at each other." (http://www.fecesflingingmonkey.com)
12-year-old boy: "Maybe your right sir, maybe I should look past "nice graphics" and focus purely on gameplay from now on whenever I play a new game. In fact, I should look forward to the day when game graphics are so bad that pixelly trees look more like abstract art then their real-life counterparts. But hey, I’m just a 12 year old kid, and a sheep to top it all off. BAHHH BAHHH." By the way sir, are you sure its safe to eat out of that garbage can?"
Man who works outside: "Shut up! Go home!"
-FIN-

Sorry the graphics are poop. If you want an idea of how bad the graphics are, just eat a bowl of green pea soup; think about GIC, and then barf all over your monitor. Then, alter reality and change the resolution of your barf to 800x600 and add lots and lots of pixels and you will have an idea of how bad the game looks.

BBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRFFFFFFFF!!!!
