[QUOTE="fm_coyote"][QUOTE="KorruptRaiden"] The controls are PERFECTLY FINE! there is no problem with them, it is so easy to play and it cannot possibly be easier, if you find the alien hard to control then go learn some co-ordination skills (message to everyone), your crosshair even tells you where the ground is -__-. The graphics are above average, environments are great really, equivalent to cod, graphics do not make a game complete though. The story is not that interesting, rather a cliche, but the campaigns are fun and intense if anything.

Outdated? no! How are cod,halo, bf and all those other shooters not outdated then? only because they have perks, aimdown sights, etc? not much really, stupid point if anything. IF ANYTHING this game brings something fresh to the gaming industry, it is an FPS which does not rely completely on gun kills or 1 shot knife kills (LOL!!! cos you drop dead from a knife instantly hey!), this game is different, very different, the gameplay is exciting, in the game lobbies I hear people screaming from fear, yelling out of joy, etc. In other FPS's I hear insults over who is better, that says a lot.

This game is a fresh break from the mainstream fps group, that has pretty much saved fps gaming for myself. If you cannot accept change, then do not bother discussing this game. Kudos to Rebellin deserved an 8.5-9.

First off, before you go around telling people to "learn some co-ordination skills" Think to yourself first, do you really think we're all new the the keyboard and mouse? I've been gaming for 15 years now.. My co-ordination is just fine.. now get off your high horse and look at the controls for what they are. If you have auto transition on, walking down a narrow hallway or stair case is extremely problematic. Not only that, but when you DO want to use it, there is the slightest lag in the camera transition. If that was a bit faster it would be manageable. Now, on the other side of the fence, if you have transition set to OFF, half the time it doesn't even give you the context sensitive button press to mount onto said wall. AvP2 that came out in 2001 had PERFECT controls for the aliens, this release of the franchise is slacking big time in that respect.

HA! now that is a hypocritical statement, AvP2 is a fantastic game that earned its review score, but the Alien was completely bland in that game, the pounce allowed the Alien to jump.....anywhere! I did not see that occur in the films, they usually wall hopped in the films like you can do in this game if you learn to utilise the controls properly, once you do you will realise just how fun it is. On the other hand, experience means very little in terms of the overall skill of a player but I am not willing to argue that point. Also, since when do controls score the game overall?

First off, that's not hypocritical at all. I own both games, I enjoy both games. I've played both extensively, and the controls in avp2 work better then AvP, simple as that. I enjoyed playing the alien in avp2. I've never once said that avp2 didn't deserve its score. I'm making statements based on something I've played, I think you need to open a dictionary and read the definition of "Hypocritical".

[QUOTE="chex81"]

[QUOTE="SickGuyReviews"]I Honestly cannot realise why people have such a problem with this game? Seriously, fine the demo may have not said a lot for the game. but the full game is awesome. survivor mode is intense. The multiplayer is great. And fine the campaigns are quite short but their fun whilst they last. People complain about the graphics and controls but i cannot see the beef with them. left 4 dead has twice as worse graphics than avp yet everyones fine with it? and the controls are perfectly fine. So please tell me the problem?KorruptRaiden

The controls aren't perfectly fine, and I consider myself passive when it comes to those sort of things. The graphics are fine, I could live with them...but the story modes are horribly boring and repetitive. Controlling the alien is HORRIBLE, I managed to finish its story mode but it was a chore...their length is fine because any longer than they're, I wouldn't be able to handle finishing them. Overall the game feels VERY DATED...and im not talking 2-3 years, more like 10 years. I had average expectations for this title and came out underwhelmed. Im a HUGE alien fan but couldnt think of giving this game my $.

The controls are PERFECTLY FINE! there is no problem with them, it is so easy to play and it cannot possibly be easier, if you find the alien hard to control then go learn some co-ordination skills (message to everyone), your crosshair even tells you where the ground is -__-.

If you can honestly say the controls are perfect after playing through the alien campaign then all the power to you sir.

I'd personally go with the 5870. performance wise these setups are neck and neck, there are games where the 5870 pulls ahead. Not only that, you're going to make the jump to DX11 which you're going to see in most if not all games coming out. Generally, you can match up a GTX260 sli setup as one GTX295 if you go strictly by the numbers. If you where to follow that, some games would be faster on the 5870, while others will be faster on the sli setup. However sticking with a single ATi card will get rid of any sli scaling issues you might run into and use less power (if that's a concern) Basically, you can get about 10-11 FPS more with a gtx 260 sli setup over the 5870... or you can get the 5870, have dx 11 and open up the possibility of a future second 5870 for an even better setup. Here's something to look at, mind you these are release drivers from when this chart was made, drivers have improved some for sure. http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f22/amd-radeon-hd-5870-hd-5850-performance-chart-66465/ http://img19.yfrog.com/img19/623/n7f.jpg Hope that helps :)

Honestly, I sent both mine in before i got the ring, and they just fix it regardless. I said I had the ring, sent it in, and they sent me a refurb. It's totally your call if you want to risk that though, some have said they test them when they come in, and if there is no ring they charge you, but I personally have not had issues with sending them in when they're on the way out.

That is where you're heading.. the green saturation is the first signs of a failing gpu.

I haven't touched mw2 since the bad company 2 beta released. but this quote from the IW page's news post cracks me up :) "Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters." Classic! :D It's about time they're fixing things though for those that still play, which I'm sure is a lot. If it wasn't for all the BS in the game it would be extremely enjoyable.

I was having a flawless and a surprisingly lag-less gameplay. Maybe its just you?gigatrainer
My gameplay so far has been near perfect. I did have some input lag until I found the new drivers ATI posted to address that issue, and there is *slight* lag at random moments, other then that I'm really enjoying it

Download AVG Free edition, and Spybot Search and Destroy, those two together have cleaned some of the most horrible systems I've ever fixed.
