A game that simply doesn't work
I mean from design standpoint, not technical. It does launches and work. With 15fps at times, strangely enough. None the less, I did expect to find a linear shooter which would have squad mechanic. Just some light tactics that still matters, while teammates don't really die, getting revived by medic. I did enjoy Rainbow Six Vegas games. But this one just doesn't work. Squad tactics? Yea, tactics where "forward" command makes them rush into the tower behind you which they refuse to leave until forced to teleport back to your back once you leave them behind. Too passive too. Linear level design really doesn't give you any approach styles, just forward onward. Teammate AI is so bad and inaccurate, enemy weeb actually was able to rush past three teammates in order to put a bullet in my head when I was laying down. So once again, squad tactics feel useless. For a game where you are supposed to take cover the huge collision around object will often stop your bullets and grenades dead. And for a game taking place in a jungle they sure didn't bother to program AI vision to take foilage into account, allowing them to see you perfectly through opaque bushes while you can't, not unlike Allied Assault. And on top of that, shooting damage was nerfed heavily along with sound design not giving any satisfaction to the gunplay and movement is extremely clumsy on top of that. Add in amazing things such as AI teammate standing calmly in front of my turret as I was shooting; soldier standing on thin air, alive and shooting, when wooden tower got blown off; teammate standing and blocking my way out of hut when I went to check it out, forcing me to shoot into his face; hearing that the game has unforgiving plane minigame later on and it was just hiasndpqndqw. None of the game mechanics were developed and pushing through them just gives you generic WW2 FPS. Pop-up facts suck too, it's like having a troll giving you random unsystematical facts when you are busy.
