How different is the TC series as opposed to COD?


The basic difference is that TC shooters are more tactical, squad based games, Rainbow 6 being the best example. But on a lot smaller scale than BF3. Not too much run and gun is encouraged.

I wanted to like the Future Soldier beta. The connectivity was so bad that I never got to really enjoy it. Gunsmith is an awesome feature, though.

I was able to play one night before I had to leave town for work. I had tried the previous night and couldn't get into a game. Graphically it wasn't anything impressive, but I really can't make a call on the gameplay. 3rd person shooters always have an uphill battle with gamers IMO. Will wait for a final review on it.

Alright, now that the trolls and fanboys are gone, I will give you a real breakdown of the game. Just some background..I purchased BF3, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Resistance, MOH, and few other lesser shooters. The best game out of all this is BF3. The gameplay, the realism, and the graphics are the best of any game. However, it's largely a team based game, and if you are in with a bunch of randoms it takes forever to see any sort of action. That is why COD is so huge. You can jump in and play by yourself and worry about your stats only. It is a 3rd person shooter, but when you aim down the sights of any gun, it turns into an FPS.

I played the beta (PS+), for at least 3-4 weeks. At the end of it, I still didn't feel like I knew everything there was to know. I kept treating it like a Run and Gun and the more you do that, the more frustrated you will be. The cover system is amazing and that's why I kept getting slaughtered. I kept thinking the coast was clear, and then I'd get shot in the back.

The guns seems fairly balanced. The perks are pretty retarded, there's no doubt about it. it always seems like someone is flying a UAV, and in the beta there was nothing to counter the UAV other than to shoot it down. So when you became detected, you were visible through walls and stuff so cover didn't help you.

Weapons customization is the best in any FPS i've ever seen. There are so many things you can customize on your weapon it's insane.

hit markers are pretty dead on. Head shots with any weapon kills you almost instantly. Gameplay is fun and challenging. The game I relate to GRFS is Gears of War, just without all the faggotry of aliens and barrell rolls with shotguns to the face kinda crap.

-------------------------------------

I personally will be buying this game on release date. It's a good change of pace from everything else. It requires team work, but the maps aren't gigantic like in BF3, so you can still get away with running solo in certain situations.

Oooooooooo look who had a serious post.

If you run, you die.
I love how the action paces your movement. There will be little things that make this game fun or impossible to enjoy.

If you're detected retreating position is not always a bad decision. You are only detected when it is flashing on your screen.

Isn't data hacking a down foe the most awesome thing ever. Its so embarrassing that you have to watch a Guy do it over your disabled body. Then they can chose how to kill you. Double frick!

I would always get tased, and then the dude would hack me...Then he'd back up a bit, until I came to, and would tase me again and kill me. fricking made me rage so many times

Double tazer is pretty bad. I personally enjoyed throwing an incendiary on a tazed hacked enemy.

What class was the incendiary on? I pretty much ran Sniper or Assault class. I was never really good at it, but still enjoyed playing it. Hell, I didn't know that the engineer class had the UAV drone until the last day of playing.

It was a unlock weapon. Lvl 26 I think. I ran rifleman exclusively. Gives you extra torso armor.


The Kinect gunsmithing looks awesome. I made a beast of an acr. Dual drum ext mags FTW

Pretty much how mine was. Did you like the burst fire?
I used the match trigger with under gas and i could shoot the wings off a fly at 60m

and people say this game sucked

the only thing that sucked was the server issues. Once you got into the game, it was freaking awesome! The customization alone sets the bar very high. I expect to start seeing the other shooters take this page from GRFS

Pay attention to the guys who say its bad. It speaks volumes.

Graphically I wasn't unimpressed. Wasn't blown away... but still.
There were some pointless guns though. The AN--94? Complete garbage!

Can't wait to unlock the fire ammo! Burn some mofo from the inside out.

I hope the appearance customization is better. Different shades of helmets is boring. Give me a rifleman with a paki shemagh!

Graphically, you are correct. There wasn't anything that blew me away. Guns sounded good, when you shot someone, they didn't die some dramatic 3 second death. The body reacted properly in most situations. Still had the twitchy body parts like every shooter.

I agree, alot of the guns are pretty pointless. I saw some people running with a shotgun, and unless you plan on camping a well known route, a shotty is pretty pointless in the game.

There are so many things I can't wait to see unlocked, fire ammo being one of them. I also like the kill cams when sniping and the camera follows the bullet in slo-mo straight into the dudes face. Freaking SWEET!
