I got motion sickness playing this, sold it immediately. The only other game that I have had a problem with is Condemned.

That’s too bad, as there’s a fix for it on widescreengaming forum.com already.

Holy hell, hands! and feet! That pretty much makes this game of the decade, at least.

No. We just remember WW2OL (a “no loading” soldier-ground vehicle-boat-aircraft game with abominable spawn times), and any number of “no loading” games that have long freezes like those featured in the video of the (certainly “not optimized”) game to have reservations. Okay, I won’t be a jerk and bemoan it (having loaded games off tape drive), but you don’t get stuff for free. All those megabytes of texture data gotta get to the right place somehow.

You guys must have missed the part where he said there is no loading during the game, so going through 1 long load when you start up sounds great to me.

john: I remember seeing the characters you can play in Far Cry 2 and at least one of them was black.

He meant 7×7km. He said it was “bigger than Oblivion. So that puts the map on the sccale of Joint Ops.

By the way, one thing Flashpoint showed was that building a map off real-world DEM data (not necessarily of the area to be modeled) produced much more interesting terrain faster than making up a landscape (or procedural generation).

The air horn? That’s Barnett’s Trumpet of Idle Wonder.

Regarding the terrible Irish accent, it sounded to me like someone on the dev team watched Snatch and decided that they would model the “buddy” character after Brad Pitt’s crazy gypsy.

So, seeing as this is in Africa, do you get to play as a black character or do you just play a white person shooting black people for 50 hours?

I really hope he didn’t mean 50 sq km. I hope what he really meant was 50×50 km. 7ishx7isk km is not exactly huge for a desert/jungle/woodland with lakes and rivers.
