Lockdown: Thoughts so far...

Not impressed with single player. I got the PS2 version when it came out and PC SP looks to be the one thing we were promised it wasnt, a port. Will reserve final judgement for the first patch after the release version, tho, as to be fair nothing recently has been that great out of the box for the first time, and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt (for now) that they do something good with the first patch (as im assuming its way too late to change anything in the release version as its probably off being pressed to disc right now)

Even less impressed with multi player as I cant even play it, last night everything was ping 300+ due to the fact its only running off peoples home connections. Can't believe they didnt include an option to run a dedicated server... all you have to do is read the damn config from a file or command line and not show any graphics. I'm going to assume this is in the release version though, or available to dl very shortly afterwards...

meh

i have a few gripes ( not gonna put the essay here lol )

only way i could get interested in the game was to play coop
but it looks like that will only allow 4 players in lol

Team adversarial !!!!! WHY !!!!! lol
i expected there to be a team survival in the demo as thats what we all ladder ?
i hope full release is better ! if not it will prob end up on the shelf !!

Graphics are sharper.......................................... and now for the downs

For a console game this would be acceptable, for pc i think its a little below par (to say the least)

For what its worth i think Ubi would have been better off taking the time to sort RvS out than releasing another duff title. Athena is playable for a while for old times sake but why they made us pay for it god knows.

Lockdown i feel theyve concentrated more on the story for the console and not given enough consideration to the hardcore gaming aspect of the PC gamers. What do we want a story/background for? we just want to shoot each other and while we're doing it we want toons that dont run like forest gump with stiff blocky animation. I mean what happened to the peek lean? now its like your head comes off your shoulders and floats sideways.
The Rainbow Six series was launched as a simulation of warfare! What happened? Now its a no longer a simulation just a game <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->
Its lost the &quot;Fcuk yeah ive just blown _A's head off and lived to tell the tale&quot; edge.

Whats the frag aiming system all about? It took hours....... days...... months to perfect fragging in RvS (or in _Bs case hes still working on it ) Its all very well for casual/noob/console gamers to have a big arc pop up so they can play on a par with the hardcore but what about the hardcore that dont want stuff aiming for them, that want to laugh at noobs random frags when they blow themselves up. Give everyone an aimbot so peeps dont have to make hacks? Gay!

I guess like all others il wait til full release, buy it and then have even more to whinge about but what will Ubi care then? Theyve got everyones money so theyll be happy if no1 else is.

I have to say I haven't downloaded the demo yet gents, but from what you all say and everything I've heard from other players, I'm not sure i'm going to..!!!

I agree with Z when he says about the &quot;I've just killed _A and lived to tell the tale&quot;... I live to shoot/frag/gimp _K...

It's taken me a long time to get a little bit of skill to do this... If the game takes all this over there's no pride when you get better, no point training, playing even...

Sounds like they've got a long way to go before any of us are happy...

Here's hoping they listen to the 'players' rather than the bank manager...

Have fun gents...
