If I have 1.51 firmware do I have to patch this game to 2 wave or like always to 3 wave ? There was a lot of post about patching, so I don't understand now.


Patch to wave 3 and download the dashboard update from the link above. You'll need to burn the update to cd/dvd and once installed, it'll work fine.

No, the console is banned therefore I cannot, nor can any other banned console, do an update online. They don't let you connect hence being banned.

If you haven't been banned, then not this will not kill your HDD install. The HDD install is only killed once you get a ban.

EA Games never support System Link, even back with the old Xbox. EA are fucktards.

Just finished it after about 7 hours. It was good, but nothing special.
But the "story" was very bad.

So...the same shit as first one then?

I didn't enjoy it even on co-op. Will skip second one. Smile

Back to Bayonetta to unlock some new stuff, until Mass Effect coming out. Very Happy

it's not bad at all - this is what the first one should have been.
- gfx are good
- love the weapon customization (could have used more depth, but then again, i'm one of these hardware nuts who would join the special forces just to get my hands on a M4 SOPMOD kit Laughing )
- it's linear as hell, but at least it has some (small) branching paths
- moral choices, hostages etc are nothing special, but still nice gameplay additions
- and FINALLY, your AI partner isn't stupid as shit. which is actually quite an achievement.

solid 8/10 - actually 7.5, but + .5 for the purple flower mask Laughing . if they had given the devs a few more months to flesh out the story, add some stuff to the gameplay and maybe touch up the graphics a bit, this game could have easily stolen the co-op crown from games like gears of war and re5.

Wait what? I've played for about an hour baring with how relentlessly moronic the AI was acting. When I told him to advance he ran around like a headless chicken and I just stopped telling him to stay put in aggro mode because he just gets himself killed.
Gonna try it with my brother tomorrow, since we finished Army of Two in co-op I suppose this is gonna be a hell lot of fun as well.

Oh, one thing I noticed, does it only seem that way or is the camera weird? Not in positioned weird but in like fov weird? I always feel like I don't see much of my surroundings O.o
But maybe that's just because I'm used to other games where you've got a whole lot more of overview.

moral choices, hostages are special , they lead to a good or bad ending

Gonna try it with my brother tomorrow, since we finished Army of Two in co-op I suppose this is gonna be a hell lot of fun as well.

here's my experience after playing for about 6 hours:
- i tell him to advance-->he advances. not 2 steps or through half the level, but just far enough
- regroup-->he sticks with me, but also doesn't get in my way or left behind
- setting him on aggro or passive works more or less flawlessly. had a really good aggro dynamic going on
- he neither has a 100% hit ratio nor is he useless, his skill level is quite like that of my usual co-op buddies
- he pulled my ass out of some serious shit more often than i had to do vice versa

of course it's much more fun to play with a friend and the AI will never ever replace a human or come up with strategies/pull off unique shit on the battlefield - but that's not what an AI partner is supposed to do. it does what i want when i want and provides a good enough gameplay experience, without having a whole movie script stuck up his ass like price in modern warfare (2) Wink

Burned the game, it asked for an update and since I had patched it to wave3, didn't risk with the update.

Downloaded the recent fall updated from Microshaft's website and burned it onto a DVD and got the dashboard updated. Game worked flawlessly after that.

I said a few pages back that I played the first 3 chapters with a friend. The experience is still like in the old game, the few changes are not very substantial, combat still is the same, so all is good. Enjoyed old one, enjoy this one.

I don't play games with friends. Gaming is MY time, pub time is their time. I try my best not to mix the two with a few exceptions.

The AI is ok in this game. The best thing is its predictable. You can easily work out the qwirks and work around them therefore its completely playable. If it was Operation Flashpoint 2 AI then I'd have given up after chapter 1.
