I’ll keep this brief as i can’t be stuffed doing a long review. After much anticipation i picked up RTCW2 this week. There has been a fair bit of hype and bluster about this game and with mixed accounts from the leaked beta i wasn’t really sure what to expect.
First impressions of the multiplayer version are: – the interface and game browser blow. – the game itself isn’t bad. it feels a bit clumsy to start with but so did etqw. – In terms of pace it is no where near as quick as et but is probably on par with etqw. – not sure what to make of the whole vail thing. i like my games relatively simple (et is still the best game ever in my books) so it is hard to adapt to this new dimension. – weapons seem fine but i haven’t played with all of them yet. – there seem to be a lot of lag spikes in game with players going to 999 ping for no apparent reason and servers failing.
