I have to play this one again I think.
Holy shit! Holy SHIT!
Can you guess where I'm at, Aspro?
Well the co-op is confirming my suspicion that it would be boring on normal. Unless you're the one not hosting (and thus dealing with horrible latency) it's a breeze to plough your way through the co-op levels on normal, and there's generally more enemies (and waves of tougher ones) than in the single player campaign. The co-op is really good on hard when you manage to fluke a good connection for both players. Otherwise it's just a pain in the arse. Okay, so one of us is in Aus and one in NZ, but the net code still seems pretty poor. It's often completely unplayable for the player being hosted; cover doesn't work, you randomly teleport around the map, and enemies are impervious to bullets, but their bullets slip easily through cover and into your head.

Well, thera are 4-5 "holy shit" moements in the game, so not really.
Radio tower, one of the best set pieces ever.
My guess would have been on chemicals.

Yeah, that one thing shocked me more than anything in a game for a long time. it seemed out of no where.

I'm sober tonight. 
It;s $7.49 on Steam right now, if any of you are tempted to try the PC version. Foolz has tourble with it, but Steel didn't. I played the PS3 version, so don't really have anything to say about the PC version.

Selective reading, Aspro. Steel did have trouble with it (jaggies), just not as much as me. And people have had much more trobule than me.
$7.49 for a bad port, but good game is pretty good though.

Nowhere near what I'd call a bad port. It's...serviceable.
Besides, saying Foolz has trouble with a game is kind of a staple for 99% of the games out there anyway. It shouldn't count.

It's not my fault people are crap at making games. However, there's no excuse for being crap at porting games. It's a bad, cheap port. Audio cutting out during cutscenes, too cheap to even work with multiple aspect ratios (maybe they did this on console as well?), looks worse than on console, random unexplained setting changes, a buggy net code that leads to multiple fatal crashes? Yeah, that sounds like a pretty bad port to me. I'm probably forgetting a few things too. Of the people I'm aware of, you're in the minority if all you got of those was the jaggies. Other people I know of got more stuff of that nature than I did. Poor work like this should not be excused just because you had an okay experience with it. The are people out there who have made it onto Sim City with few problems.
Not that I mean you should think it's a bad port based on other people's experiences, though.

The Sim City analogy.
I am also aware of people that had no significant trouble but ok. If you want to call it a bad port, who am I to say otherwise. When I think of bad PC ports I think of stuff like SR2 or RE4, not this game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 
P.S. There's obviously only one way to settle this: our two Spec Ops posses should battle it out on Spec Ops. But you'd win by default due to my posse crashing out, and yours not. 
If it is of any consolation, and in a mild defense of Yager, the multiplayer stuff was handled by someone else.
No sir I did not like it. The story maybe more disappointing than the gameplay. I posted this elsewhere, it includes MAJOR SPOILERS!!
Really guys, REALLY, that is supposed to be good? What a piece of turd. The story is an absolute mess, the ending makes no sense as it tries to do the whole you imagined the bad guy twist but it breaks all the rules of the story. You are telling me your teammates never once questioned you as to who you were talking to when you were imagining Konrad talking to you. Its bullshit. The twist is there simply to be a twist, its not done in a clever interesting way where it actually fits into the story. Yes there are a million things that tell you walker is going crazy, not that subtle and they don't explain why everyone else in the story doesn't seem to care.
The story is just as sloppy as the game is. I see a game like Bioshock Infinite that pulled off the surprise ending to perfection and then you play this... just not as good at all.
And also I posted this in response to a post in ROF:
How is it gut wrenching? Is a Michael Bay movie gut wrenching? Everything is so over the top boom boom bang bang EXPLOSION!!! There is no time to ever care for the people in the story. A silly action movie trying to make a serious point is stupid, thats what this is like.
Am I supposed to care about the thousands of faceless soliders I killed. Oh those innocents in the fire, the game spent a whole 30 seconds on it and it was back to "lets kill people!" So if the game isnt going to care why should I. Is there any character in this game that is any way interesting? It was an entire cast of assholes with zero personality, I did not care for any of them.
No where to run to, baby. Boy, I totally get the appeal of this. It just keep getting better and crazier. The music cues in at the right moment.
