Jan 4th 2007 12:17PM (Joystiq Xbox)I'm a member of the forum #2 posted about, and we've set up all sorts of games and duked it out throughout the eras. The game's far from perfect, and being a fan certainly helps, but it's alot of fun, and that's really what matters the most.
The single player campaign is ok. I've seen far better, for sure. Multiplayer is where it's at, no doubt.

Nov 24th 2006 3:57PM (Engadget)Games on more than one disc: do you care?
Nov 24th 2006 10:47AM (Joystiq Xbox)If we are talking about a linear game like an RPG or a multi-level FPS like Gears of War, it's no big deal for me to switch discs when I reach a certain point on the first disc. If the developers need more space, I'm not opposed to them including the multi-player on a second disc too, if necessary.
However, when you look at free-roaming games like GTA, it becomes a problem. Assuming the game loads the second disc when you approach a specific area on the map, well you might be switching discs every couple of minutes or so. That's a problem. If they set it up so the next batch of missions (but the same map) are on different discs, then it's not much of a hinderance.
I'd much rather developers push the boundaries, regardless of disc size. If you need 3 discs to tell your story, use them. Don't downsize the game or remove content or sacrifice anything to make it more convient. Just be aware of how the switching process takes place and try to streamline it as much as possible. Changing from disc 1 to 2 to 3 is no problem. Changing from 1 to 2 to 1 to 3 to 2 is.
