I think if you're going to start a first play thread you really owe it to everyone else to justify your comments

The game feels boring and nothing is interesting, allthough i did like the sound of the thompson.

Stick to C.O.D. 2 or even C.O.D. 3.

Annoying controls, and i found that you can just sprint through the levels and get to your objective, unless you have to defend your objective.

Yuck, analogue calibration is borked: Y axis is all slow and X axis much faster. And the scenery is sticky like glue made from horses' bones.

Beware. Take care.

oh my, another awful, badly executed demo. bodies and weapons disappearing, worst rifle aiming ever and not much to speak of AI. sterotype blend of characters, no german missions (as far as i know)... boring stuff in my opinion.

i think Eidos already came up with a very similar FPS called Commandos Strike Force in 2006. so this game seems even more redundant and pointless.

I'm a huge WWII FPS fan but this is utter crap. Maybe if it controlled anywhere near the level of CoD2/CoD3 it wouldn't be so bad but this has some of the worst aiming I've ever had the misfortune of suffering. Even PD0 controlled better than this and that's saying something.

I'm not a huge fan of WW2 shoot em ups and this to me is bloody awful, I was hoping for a step brother to wolfenstein (the only ww2 shooter i enjoyed), instead we got an abortion of what feels like a polished CoD 2 alpha.

Absolutely terrible, Midway, how did this get past the good ideas people? oh wait, cash, thats it.

Hour of Victory? You'd think by now they'd have run out of cheesy names for these games, but it seems WWII FPS developers always find a way to name each next game ever more cliche than the last. It's like they have some running gag for this among themselves .

Thats why i could not be more specific in my first post Yoshi..as this demo dosent have one good thing to say about it and a million poor things that is wrong with it but peeps cant say i didnt warn them lol.

[MJ]

I shot someone in the head then quit before I even stepped out of the first room and deleted it straight away. Awful.

[watusi]

The best bit about this demo is that the developers keep going on about how the three characters all have different abilities. It appears one characters special ability is being able to open doors and anothers are climbing ropes, the final one can do neither. Awesome!

What a bag o ****e!

[ShadowDancer]

Oh dear.

[ChrisF]

Yes, but unfortunately they've put it back now.

Well, Major Nelson has made a liar of me. I just thought Id download it after all the glowing praise, and I cant find it. Cant say im too fussed
