got the game, and it looks nice. the game play is much like GRAW Series..duck cover n shoot. the cover mechanism is pretty simple, walk towards to the concrete block and duck, it will automatically do it for you. the aiming is much like GOW, responsive enough.

Game control is pretty much simple, left trigger to aim right trigger to shoot. Y button for all the action (roll, slide to cover) and A button is the interaction button.

right now playing with AI partner and he is smart enough to do everything for me but the AI partner shooting quite sucky. D-pad is to command your AI Partner (Regroup,Advance and hold) in two mode Recon or go hot.

another interesting part is u can customize your weapons and your character. u can modify ur primary weapon (sub rifle/assault rifle), 2nd weapon (handgun) and special weapon like sniper rifle.

each modification to your weapon will affect your weapon characteristic, there is a chart for your weapon each item u change will change the stats.
barrel, front mount, suppressor, shield, cartridge and PIMP MA GUNZ (yup, you can pimp your gun to gold/platinum look.

character customization is pretty simple, armor and mask

armor - light medium and heavy. there are around 10++ masks avail.

graphics look slick n the main character looks very detail and polished. the enemy death animation will react to where you shoot. if you headshot your enemy while he is running and he will bounce back n fall down. or if u shoot on his knee and he will kneel down and crawling back up...environment looks what is suppose to be. the only draw back i found out is the environment is not destructible, bullets flying around and nothing is damage except bullet marks on the wall...

and ya, the campaign can be play online co-op.....

p.s: the 360 box art is awesome! 3D effect poster cover where else the ps3 box art sux big time, juz a plain simple poster cover.

Jaylike, the control button can freely change or got a few choices which they set already?

nope, the control buttons are preset..only thing you can do change is invert Y axis and aiming sensitivity

How's the weapon effect? I am not expecting it to be as syiok as Gears of War but what is holding off my purchase is because from the videos the weapon effect feel very soft la.

If it's alright i think i have no choice but to trade in some game this friday and get this baby as they are the team behind Splinter Cell Chaos Theory coop mode. Too many games!!
*
lol, i didnt really notice much on the weapon effect but 1 thing for sure my controller vibration is very strong!! flex.gif

but thanks to the controller vibration and it makes each weapon feels different...

if you compare to GOW i believe this game is like mixing btw GRAW and GOW. Tactical + Fast pace + high action.

so far the cons of this game is the Enemy AI - sometimes they are smart but sometimes they are stupid example, an enemy run towards to me and when im going to shoot at him n he just run back to the place where he was instead of fire at me rclxub.gif

and there is no jump, yup your character cannot jump unless u fall from higher ground....only roll slide and climb over the barrier.

lol

the game is worth buying itself R6V n AO2 are different type of game while first is FPS and later is 3PS. so don't compare it with R6V, both have their own beauty.

btw, i just received info from my fren that the 3D effect box art cover is actually Limited Edition. inside the game comes with two bonus weapons for free. so for those who got the 3d cover, you are lucky basket! biggrin.gif

co-op for this game is a bomb and try to play with the contractor/pro difficulty. The Enemy AI will try to flank you if you stay too long in one place and the most frustration part is the Enemy will run away if you trying to flank them even you r in invi mode. rclxub.gif

I'm surprised that there is no lag in CO-OP or 2 v 2 MP since we know how good the EA server is whistling.gif

@ Shuvit,

Lol, the game is pretty short and i believe that most ppl will sell it off once they finish the game in co-op since the 2v2 MP play is not as good as co-op mode.

@Mistaman,

agree with you regarding the AI Partner, i encountered this when i was down and waiting for his help, he came into the middle of battle and start healing me. and when he gets shot the healing progress will be reset. the thing go on n on until i kill all the enemy when i was still down doh.gif

lol, we need to understand how good is our streamyx is, lag is essential when we play with foreigner. i think COD4,Halo3 or gears are the same. not only EA server. at least we play locally and it is no lag at all.

I had number of games from EA before and most of their online play is ok if we play locally except Skate. sad.gif but the only down side of the EA Game MP is you need to connect to EA server before you able connect to any MP games, if the serve down.... doh.gif

i think the Army of Two live play is ok though since we can join and play with local without lag.
