if you looked I corrected it right then and there. I realized right away it was a misread but I just went on anyway. I don't get paid to do my videos so they are not going to be perfect. Sorry

Oh, that was YOU!

Thanks for that...I enjoyed it.

Take any criticism with a grain of salt; it's always easier to bash than to praise, no matter who/what's under the microscope (For what it's worth, it's much better than I could ever do.)

Good job. (Bubble +1)

I know the big selling point of this game is the flying around, but that might keep me away from this game, never been to good at games that flying is involved, either because gameplay was not good or the controls weren't good.

2.1 - You should give it a try...
It works a lot better then you think. They did a good job balancing the game where the warhawks aren't too powerful.

There is mention that they will have the option of taking out the warhawks as an option.

I want this game now. It sucked that I was pretty much the only person not invited to the massive Beta.

That's pretty high praise coming from an xbox guy. It's good to see a gamer enjoying a game and not hating a system.

I know it let you have two split screen. I would have tried it with more, but lack the necessary controllers.

9 - This guy is not a good source..
I have the BETA and have been playing it since I got it (about 2 hours a night). I have a 40" LCD TV with 1000Watt sound system. The game is awesome.

The sound need to be better, but it will be on the final version.

The controls are no where near as bad as this guy says.. after one night I was completely comfortable.

You can exit a vehicle.. this guy just could not figure out how.. you have to tap the square button.. he was holding it down (which allows you to relocate into other parts of the vehicle)

The game is addictive and will be well balanced due to the feedback they are getting from the BETA people (the handgun was way to strong and mines are getting out of control).

You do not have to fly a warhawk at all. you can drive jeeps, tanks or walk. you can climb sniper towers and snipe or use binoculars to call in a satellite strike.. you can climb into the anti-aircraft gun or a heat seeking missle launcher, you can use mounted machine guns or just run and gun.. it is upto you. this game has something for everyone.

9.1 - Great Game!
Wow, surprised he didn't by accident figure out how to exit a vehicle.....TAP SQUARE MAN! and on that note, its fun to be in a jeep thats on fire cause its going to blow, and what I do is drive it at the enemy, and there reaction is to shoot me but right before i'm on top of them I bail from the Jeep and send it hurdling right at them as it explodes then follow it up by a few well placed grenades. AND THE INCLUDED HEADSET at retail is a must buy.

The graphics might not be uber fantastic, but the gameplay seems to compensate for that.

to get procedurally generated water & waves, volumetric clouds, a steady framerate and that unbelievable draw distance (like resistance).. the game is technically impressive, graphics aren't everything.. you should see the detail on those soldiers, especially noticeable during customization

how can "not everyone has a headset" be a minuspoint for the game ? but nevertheless, game is awesome!

I agree with him that there is no reason not to have headsets. It makes the games much better and is a major reason XBL is so popular. Take away headsets, XBL IMO wouldn't be nearly as good. It inspires a "community" appeal.

The game has voice chat but that isn't really any use sometimes when people dont have Mic's to talk to in. That's his point.

14 - Headsets
Headsets shouldnt be a problem once the game releases, cause the game comes with the free bluetooth headset, so theres is no excuse when your playing the game unless you downloaded it from the PSN, which Im pretty sure most people will go with the retail version.
Shut this user up Let user speak
Kareem - 918 days 2 hours ago
14.1 - Agree
To make sure as many people as possible have Headsets, they should release the retail version first and then the PSN version.

It's funny how a simple thing like a headset gives a more imersive feel to a game. It just makes things more exciting being able to collaborate attacks/talk trash and fight with the headset on

16 - WOWW
I have the beta and the game is amazing. The guy's review is just retarded. I give him an A for trying and an A for being an idiot. You can get out of the jeeps and tanks you just have to tap the square button. Also the controls only take about 30 min to an hour to get comfortable with.

Finally this guy looks and acts like the offspring of Carson Daly and fecal matter.

They are TRYING to find "Minuses"?? those two minuses are stupid lol.. controls not easy to learn? yah it works well once u do learn it well, so in ur face.

and headset? when the game gets release it will COME with one if u buy retails, so it's not even a problem.

Edit: anyways, Steve, u did an excellent job!

Yeah, there is a NDA on it but who cares =p. In any case, game should be good, while I agree with people not having mics suck, like the others said, headset comes with the game (Though people might download it, some people don't like to speak online). Game should be really fun though

20 - Quick thoughts....
First off...I must say the game actually is looking like its come a long way...and seems to be a very solid title for the PS3. I wish they had a story mode for it...but oh well.

As for my second thought....Ummm...who the hell is this jag off? Why are we considering a you tube video as news? This is no different than a forum post? I mean seriously...what qualifies this tool to be news worthy? I just am getting concerned about the quality of posts coming up on the site. People are just posting whatever they want these days and it all seems to get approved.
