Had a few compatibility issues to start with, but after some searching i fixed that. Then i started playing it and got bored of it fast. :( I should try to do more of it i guess...

Played it for a while. They I figured out how the computer decided to spawn the opposition and lost interest... like with COD. As long as you sneak your arse off to get close enough, they dont spawn again. Kinda boring. I want to wipe it all out, and then be able to cruise about...

It is as if the game registers how far you make it in the game. Movement wise. If you stay outside some doors and snipe they will continue spawning. If you move in on foot and sneak up to where they spawn, at some point they will not spawn anymore and the game kind of expects you to move on. There are however some spots where the spawn is continuous and other places where it is plot driven (clear area to get in, clear area to get out). This buggers me. I like sneaking, but that also includes long range picking off an area before you move in. Why do I have to sneak up to a bush and kill them, when I can do it from a range, to stop the spwan? So you learned the game was about getting close to where they came from. And you started working on ways to come to the spawn trigger before actually killing anyone.

In COD2 it was really bad. Sneak up to a wall and let the other guys supporting you to do the killing. If you could sneak close enough, you would win. You just needed to find a way to get close enough to stop the spawn without getting killed. What the **** is fun about that? I want to fight and wipe out the competition and that includes picking off.. but that is not fun, when they just keep coming in thousands until I move on... Not sure if you can get through the game without killing anyone, but you get the idea :)

I know what you mean Del.
In one area I had to pass through the enemy kept spawning everytime again. I decided to stack up all the bodies. Got quit a few then untill that patch came out which FUBAR'ded the save games...

finally got around to finishing this.
 
I quite enjoyed the game to be honest. The final surge to the core was a tough one but good fun.
 
Uninstalled, ready for lan donation :D
