Doom 3 has live co-op.

I too am a tad disappointed in PDZ. The campaign seems solid enough but I found deathmatch to be a let-down. It reminds me of Soldier of Fortune II...the way you run around the maps.

Running up to someone just doesn't seem realistic and early Xbox gen.

I'm not totally dismissing this game yet though. I'm gonna give it a fair shot and put in a heafty bit of online play. Hopefully it will grow on me.

It's funny you all seem so surprised the game is less than sub-par

I didn't buy this game (only COD2 which is awesome) But even Gamespot.com gave it the best rating of al xbox 360 games 9.0 and Gamespot is hard on the ratings...

anyway, if your not happy with it, PM me and I'll buy it off you

I've been playing this game all day... the graphics are incredable...

maybe you need a new TV

or maybe you need to understand the difference between good graphics and art direction.

The gameplay seems lackluster, though. Kinda reminds me of TimeSplitters (essentially Goldeneye's gameplay). It just seems linear and repetitive in a sense. It also feels slow paced, being a run and gun/cover game (good mix?). Also, it doesn't seem as if there is much need to really move your crosshair around the screen or do anything twitch-related - just seems like a really monotoneous gameplay experience. TimeSplitters: FP was great for the first week, but it got old fast, and PD0 might be the same for me, which is why I'm skeptical of it.

Graphics are obvously top-notch, though.

Oh well, different strokes for different folks and all that. Personally, I know what you mean by the somewhat slow feeling gameplay however I loved Goldeneye and Perfect Dark so I feel fine with that gameplay style. Those looking for a halo-like experience will indeed be dissapointed (though I've only played solo and coop so deathmatch may be different). I definitely can't say anything bad about the graphics though. The game runs very smooth even with explosions going on and has high-detail textures in most places though a few still seem a bit bland.

i have both COD2 and PD0 and i think COD2 is amazing.. the singleplayer was/is awesome..(i chated with my friend using private chat as we both went through the campaign) i tried some PD0 but it was too slow and boring for my liking. Although PD0 is probably the prettiest game ive ever since... i was unable to really try the online becuase COD2 was sooo laggy and i couldnt find a single game for PD0?!?.. overall i recommend COd2.

unclepauly · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2005, 10:22:00 PM »

i was almost sold on pd0 cuz the reviewers were saying online has great potential, but now people are saying the online is sucky? Is this just preference or does it really suck? I'm buying my 360 on the next shipment which will be either friday or next week and i've been torn betwwen pd0 and cod2.

I must say, I'm loving the PD0. Maybe I'm not as picky as others whatever, but I just take each game as it's own entity and try to experience it as it's own thing. Anyone who has played the game must agree that the graphics are top notch. The level of detail that has gone into the game is very nice, menu's are subpar, but who gives a rip. My buddy was bashing it because it didn't look as "real" as CoD2, but they are 2 totally different games. PD0 is a sci-fi adventure FPS, CoD2 is a realistic war shooter. 2 diff. games.

Some things that I like about PD0 is the weapon system. Having to choose what weapons will fill my slots does give me headaches at certain times, but those are good headaches to have. The weapon switching is poor. I have had instances were I have tried to drop 2 pistols for a shotgun, etc, and drop my other weapon instead.

I like that you can drop your weapons for a speed boost. It has already saved my ass in some deathmatch games. The speed of running with full guns can be a problem though. I definitely do not want to be caught out in the open, which makes you play with a bit more stealth than you would in otehr types of games.

The lack of a radar in the mission is very hard to adjust too. Couple that with those flashing arrows for waypoints, and I have gotten lost a couple of times, which is annoying.

For a launch game, I say it gets great marks. I wish that the running speed was a bit faster, and that switching weapons was easier.

I love the art direction and the way they styled the game. It looks pretty amazing and is getting me pumped up for Gears of War.

^^im with that guy^^

Another thing, i dont understand why ppl are comparing it to timesplitter and rogue agent. The difference between it and those games (and even halo) is that it seems to have more depth IMO. Timesplitters got boring quick becaquse it didnt have the depth that we expect from fps'. I know ill be playing it for a longtime, and my friends seem to feel the same way since we play multiplayer everyday now. The weapons are wonderful by the way!
