Assault Store Shelves with Battlefield 2 for the PC announces that DICE's
shooter sequel is beginning to deploy:
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2005--Get to the chopper! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS - News) and Digital Illusions today announced that Battlefield 2(TM) has begun to ship to retail outlets for the PC. Powered by an all new game engine, Battlefield 2 brings the intensity and excitement of its predecessors, the award-winning Battlefield 1942(TM) and Battlefield Vietnam(TM), into the modern era with the latest, most technologically advanced vehicles and weapons systems available to man.
In Battlefield 2, players will choose to fight for one of three military superpowers: the United States, China, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition. Armed with the latest modern weaponry, players can take control of any of the game's 30+ vehicles. Players can also hone their skills against improved enemy intelligence in the new single-player campaign before competing online with up to 64 players in some of the most intense battles on the PC.
Back to FEAR:
Yes, as mentioned, all weapons are instant death at any distance. I don't know why someone would use the shotgu, if your first shot misses you're toast before you cock it again. Much like the plasma gun and rocket launcher - you never get a second shot off.
H2H is useless, as you never get close enough. I had one slide kick kill, and was never touched by anyone else. Punching/jump kicking is fairly useless. People run back as fast as you run out them, and they'll take you out with bullets before you are close enough to use it. Similarly, if you're holding down the trigger as you run, they'll die before you get to them.
'Nades are equally useless. They're fun to throw around a corner and hope, but if someone sees you they'll kill you before you manage to toss it. The animation takes longer than going from 100 health and any armor to dead takes. Which brings up another interesting point - armor seems to do nothing.
The only time nades really work is when you're health is so low you know you're screwed, so you try to pull the pin before you die, hoping the guy runs over your dead body right when it goes off.
