its the sort of game that you feel like you want to keep giving another chance, because there is something great about it, you just have to struggle on to find it first. hopefully the patches will clear a lot of the bugs up and get the game a bit more balanced. its no way as bad as some are making out, although the singleplayer is really really poor. not even good as practice for multi.

yeah i still try to give it another chance but there are so incredible much that irritate me, not only bugs but things i'd expect to find but just aren't there. the bugs are really really annoying, like you cannot equip your teammates if they're too far away from you when you start handing out guns, because if they are, you will get stuck in a 3rd person view where you cannot move, cancel mission, reload or anything but quit the entire game and start it again (luckily it loads so fast, only a 2-3 minut loading time before you get to start shooting... ..).
singleplayer is pretty pointless, you do stupid missions only to receive a medikit or a gun or something like that.
this morning i did a mission where i was supposed to rescue one dude and secure two cases. base was littered with m1a1 abrams, m2a2 bradleys some sort of psycadelic armored ambulance and soldiers with anti-tank weapons. only way to survive is to also have an abrams, drive up to 3-400m from the target, where there is an invisible line that triggers all the "ai" if you can call it that, and from there shoot all the infantry. why you don't need to blow the tanks up is simple: the ai doesn't fire the vehicle guns, they just try to run you over..
2km from my base to the first case, 2km to the "civilian area" where i was supposed to deliver it, 2km back to the same place to get the second case, 2km to the civilian area, 2km back to the same place AGAIN to get the hostage and then 2km back to my base. Sure it only takes 20-30 seconds to drive those 2km but since i had killed everything and everyone at the hostile base there was absolutely no resistance, nothing to do but drive drive drive.. most missions are like that, completely boring from start to finish, the only challenge is to kill all the infantry before they shoot their rockets at you, enemy armour does nothing..
i just finished another game, this time my retarded ai-teammate ran after me when i drove my tank over to the enemy base, and when i reversed i accidently ran him over, not knowing that he had even left my base where i left him. killing teammates = mission failure..
teammate-control only works once in 10 tries, trying to get him to drive the tank he's in back to your base is done by clicking at your base, him not doing anything, clicking half-way to your base, him not doing anything, clicking in the square just beside him, him doing nothing, clicking randomly for one minute before he decides to drive somewhere, then repeating that until he's finally home or you yourself give up and drive your tank back to base, get a car or something and go back and drive his tank too.
i suppose the "coolness" of this game is found in multiplayer, which i haven't tested (dont think it works with copies anyway)

For some reason I'm starting to like the game.If you throw aside all the bugs and slowness it's getting pretty fun, I was on a 16 on 16 server and there was stopless action.If you play with good team players then it's really fun.

I am with Clevesa on this one. For some reason I keep coming back and playing it. I just really really wish that the forthcoming patch will make this game so much better. There is a good game hiding somewhere in there behind the bugs from hell.

Can't be the buggiest game ever... I mean Tribes 2 at launch couldn't even been installed and if it was it wouldn't run due to a game crashing bug... or Myth 2 and its OS deleting bug if you uninstalled the game...
Its buggy but far from being the most. ^_^

Got the clone-cd version of CXZISO updated with patch.
Trying to launch the game, but this is what I get:
'Illegal copy of the game found'
So there is indeed a crack needed

Burning it doesn't help either... And it seems getting out a crack for the patch is mad slow... :/
