It really is crap, IMO.

heh . guess im in the minority. i really liked sh, and i love breakthrough. you all can go whine away, i think they got it right this time.

I think that everyone expected too much out of this. You all knew it was going to be like SH. You can see that in the screenshots.

It was a FREE DEMO. When the full version comes out, I don't wanna hear the same people bitch about that, that bitched about this demo. If you say its shitty now, don't go out and buy the game then complain some more.

yes, mother :rolleyes

i think its great ..but then i love sh ..

but hay ..if you dont like it ..dont buy it ...thats why you get the demo for free..

as for me and my clan ..we have already worked a deal to get a bt server as soon as the game hits the shelves ..

and we are running a 24/7 demo server till then

HI,

Well, I DL'd the 208MB file and loaded it. First server I went into was a laggy mess. Rather than brand this DEMO as a piece of SH** like most KIDS playing on a less than optimal computer, I decided to try a couple more servers.

My outlook: 5 Servers joined and 1 was crappy ( His Computer??? ) Others played well and I enjoyed my experience. Palermo is crowded and a snipers paradise. As a 30 year Army Veteran with 6 1/2 yrs in Vietnam I realize combat is frustrating. War and dying isn't with clear views of your enemy and Breakthrough brings this aspect of war into life in a quite realistic manner. War is hell, learn to sneak around and kill your enemy, not run around like a drugged nut shooting shadows and hoping for a kill. When you see Spartan playing, watch your back and your front and both sides, cuz I'll be there in the rubble to blast your ass.

DEMO gets a passing grade without calling it better than MOHAA.

I really enjoy Spearhead, for the most part. However there is something about BT that left a bad taste in my mouth. These cookie cutter expansions are just starting to get under my skin I suppose. I will have to agree with the majority on this one... POS.

the maps are a lot better than SH,

in SH it seems to me that they dumbed down the MOHAA maps to make it more running around up close and in the open like a bunch of children.
The demo map has a lot more good hiding spots and the city is all rubbelized and confusing (just as it should be after a couple hundred B-17s and a few cruisers got done shelling)
Also if you notice the actually made MGs kill with fewer hits and more accurate, but ROF is less and recoil is heavier (just as it should be)

I personally didn't like it. I think the MOHAA family has become a little to disfunctional. It doesn't seem fun anymore. On the other hand, I do like the CoD demo and I can't wait for an MP beta.

OT: Spartan you need to stop by our site and forums. Just click the link under my sig. biggrin:

What servers did u join? I have a t1 connection and I always get around 100 ping where ever i go.

Spartan61 · **Servers To Join -** 09-11-2003, 11:31 AM

I would recommend setting PING to <200 as a start. Then to test the game pick a server ( could be home machine ) with about 2 to 4 players. When entering the game check your own ping with TAB. If you are under 150 then you should play fairly well. I was in one server with 151 and it had a tad of lag. The other four I played on had pings of less than 60 and it was fun. I bet a coordinated attack by Allies or Axis using smoke grenades would be a frigging blast. But then again, not many people play like a squad. They play like a gaggel.

Please buddy.
-This is spearhead nothing much changed. I will bitch to the fact that no vehicles were availible in this demo. I feel the italian units should have been disabled for the demo and a couple vehicles availible to use.
