Things needed to save A2 from 5/10 review onslaught.

[PRiME 1]

Things needed for SP, is better performance (use smart spawning), a function for AI to stay TIGHT, move FAST and in cover, BEHIND you from area of confrontation or enemy location.

A option for BUG OUT (independent conflict solution finding) for AI in those sticky situations. Medics need to work better.

Personally I think the command interface needs shortcuts like on D..R.. (recticle shortcuts for some basics). But ultimately the campaign needs work overall, and unfortunately it will be what REVIEWS are mostly based on so BIS will haft to be ready for many 5 out of 10 reviews coming their way.

Reviewers tend to only try multiplayer after the single player which they expect to be better, but the first few missions coupled with performance issues will turn them away after a few hours of reviewing,!

PS. Obviously bug correction is important too, but what gives first impressions first tends to be the best area of attack. As per those mentioned above.

BIS will probably be thinking "we know already!!", (hoping that's the case)

Well after seeing BIOSHOCK rated at 10/10.... just ignore the fools... log into their sites and burn them for terrible reviews. I have my friends watching the game I am down for a copy.... Basically the multiplayer aspect has to ROCK!... and not be limited by consoles.... points at Left 4 Dead. The zombie mod for Arma was pure cool... although the military hardware available made the zombies a little out classed...

I dont think they will have to worry about 5/10's.. The command interface does have a learning curve but players of Op Flash, Arma can navigate it quickly. The sheer amount of options, commands etc make it hard to simplfy... It would be nice tho to have hotkeys, or "hotmouse" type commands but that I am sure they could implement easier.. Even the simple changes in ACE made it much better.

As for BioShock, that was a great SP game.. Perhaps not 10/10 but it was a great arcade game... suitable to a different audience which usually does not cross over into Military sims.

The only thing that reviewers may be harsh on are the bugs, and perhaps performance as its hit and miss for some people (NOT ALL! :))
