hmmmmm.........just tryed the cod5 solo mode and after 20 minutes i have leave;not my kind of stuff...honnestly:
what i liked: - the accuracy of the aiming(better than on crysis and ut3 for sure) - the "visual effects"(especially the lighting effect and the explosions) - the cooperation with ur soldier mates
what i disliked: -the colors are very "sad" and uniform; it s quite hard to see ur opponents in some places -lack of contrasts -the stupid IA of the opponents and even of ur mates -dialogs with ur soldier mates are really poor...lol....and poor is "light"...haha -lot of blocking volumes all long;no freedom of moove;u have to follow the way : unique and predictable -the military spirit;missions;soldiers....classical weapons...
it s a nice game for sure but in pure military style and with no real originality!... i bet the multiplayer part is way far better....i hope so...:p

can't believe you played it mate...how far did you get, you need to finish it to get the full story for the missions and stuff, play it some more, you will like it more as you get into it more.
the AI, like in all games sucks, I've not played crysis, but ut3 and 2k4 were also bad, so I don't take any loss with that :) (did you try and play the team ctf or the game style with the nodes, good luck to the ut AI with that one... LOL)
when you say blocking volumes, do you mean you don't have freedom to move on the map, If so, I would say it no worse than most games, Infact, nearly all games are like it, so I just ignored it, It does frustrate, but that would be the same for most games.
The colours I think were desinged to be dark, and grey, to make you feel you were really there....It wouldn't work if they were brighter, I think it would be too easy, I like the fact you can't run round all the corners 100% speed just in case someone is sat there waiting for you.....but I think i made mine slightly lighter than how the games tells you to set it up.
On my screen when i set it to how it was meant to be viewed, It wa almost black, same on the xbox version, Some work on the contrast could be used for sure. hopefully the new one will be better.
If you want the modern weapons, try cod4 Modern warfare, the demo gives you a good taste of the game, and it's brighter too, so might suite your style.
All you need to do now mate, Is finish the single player missions, and come fins us on the multiplayer, would be good fun
lol....after such a post i cant do anything than to give it another try haha^^
i ll try to set the constrast & colors stuff to get some better results ;)
for the blocking volume i mean no freedom even in the choice to go to the next "objective" for now was only one way always...very prdictable way and very small!!
my first feeling if compared to crysis or ut3 is that the maps are finally more small and to move u need to follow "ways";on crysis u have total freedom on the map and u can use "all the moutains" to go to the objective; it allow u to be more tactical in yer approachs and u can"make a noise in one side of the map to drive opponents there and attack by the other side...but perhaps i need to play cod more far to see such possibilities
ut is a perfect example of freedom; on quite all maps u have no major mooving restrictions and i feel always frustrated to not be abble to jump on a wall or on a ramp if it seem physically possible.....even in ut haha
BTW there s a free trial period on crysis wars and it s a fraqn nice game; i dont talk bout crysis and crysis warhead....wasnt liquid while playing a solo mode since ages.....but ok ok i agree; i dont feel really right in my boots to ask u to try anything else than....a good old ut ...3...if possible.....muhahahaha
........btw"2":my version is american and the "english" of the guys is ANFULL....i can grab 50% of what they shout in ma ears.....and....hm......i m stuck before a big metallic door with 3 mates on the knees around me.....they wait something from me....haha....they dont stop shouting me some thing like:"blablablabla rocket blabla" so.... i bet i must found a rocket launcher to demolish that door but even with a big come back in the level i cant find it....rofl....i m really bored of this area of the map now .....perhaps it explain a part of my "no cod love"....gimme ma shock back and i m going to open that fraqn door!!

Often, It will be high lighted orange or something like.
It sometimes means find a rocket grenade, or call in a an airstrike to take out the bunkers, and it might be as simple as picking up the weapon and firing it.....
if you need a hand mate, tell me where your stuck, and i will play that mission, and help you
Rofl....all thoses guys waiting on the knees before the metallic door ....they was waiting from me to command the destruction of two tanks...oioioi....took me quite one hour to get the point!
3 chapters later....:i feel confortable with the aiming and the moove of the player(more speed than what i was expecting) it s possible to rush the missions (some missions) and it was really fun to do a carnage 5 meters before my soldier mates
the action is speed and it s immersive
good hitbox system; good moove but sorry visually it still sad; all is well done and it s pleasant to watch the "action scene"(the mooves and movements of the bots are natural and well done) but it s definitivly uncolored; the smoke/fog is horrible and the water dont look reallistic
... it s nice game but if compared to crysis i m not sure....a mix of thoses two games had be a kick arse
