    The game that led me to get a PS4 and got optimistic about the longevity of the franchise.

    Still waiting for the game that would incorporate combiners, titans & the best of WFC & FOC. While FOC was good, it felt different when they started to take out kill streak abilities, removed POKE, & the jets could no longer barrel roll/yaw.

    I haven't tried yet, I was hiding in a vent as Cliffjumper when one of those armored scanners did a ground-pound. I think I was too close to the pipes on the mouth of the vent and I got clipped out. I couldn't transform. Something similar happened once in WFC as Ironhide.

    I don't see much purpose in starting a new thread, so I will revive this one. Happy 11 years to High Moon Studios' War for Cybertron!

    I'm late to the party but Happy Birthday WFC! This game is truly dear to my heart. I remember meeting so many awesome people online with this game. I had so much fun! While it all started with Revenge of the Fallen, War for Cybertron is core to where it all kicked off! So happy I was able to experience this multiplayer along side so many awesome people! I love this community

    I miss it! It was the best thing to happen in my life at the time. WFC, FOC even that dark spark continuation of the WFC and FOC was good. I never played the bayformers side of it but once.
    Bring those games back. Hell I'd even go back to Armada on my Ps2. WFC was the best though. It's what got me back into gaming.

    I just started playing this again. Every year or so I play this game. It cannot be overstated, this game is AWESOME! This is hands-down the BEST Transformers game. I like War for Cybertron better than Fall of Cybertron (Not that I don't also love FoC, I just like WFC a little better). Everything about the physics of this game is perfect. The driving controls are perfect! Man, I LOVE this game. I really wish High Moon was still a company and was still making these kick ass games.

    Just started replaying the campaign and… it’s kinda dull tbh. The controls are fun, but like we said back in 2010, the visuals aren’t that great. It’s really desaturated and the same shades of metallic grey and all. There are a few moments of color and visual coolness but it’s completely 90/10 with the bland, generic color palette otherwise.

    It’s also a shame I don’t feel like I’m missing anything by playing as one of the three characters. They all play the same except for their speed. The abilities feel like they could go to anyone. Megs has his fusion cannon and his drain ability became something I associate with him due to it carrying over to DOTM. But there’s much less banter than I remember, and the characters don’t really present themselves that well. Nobody really reacts to stuff beyond “let’s shoot our way outta here!” There are a few moments in between like Skywarp calling Thundercracker ugly. But man, it makes me wonder what people were talking about with the back and forth banter of this game everybody loves. I feel like I’ve barely gotten anything the first two chapters of the Decepticon campaign. Plot is just shoot stuff and move to the next room, no development for the cast.

    It was truly saddening to click on online and get the “servers not available”. RIP. Not that we got much character interaction in Escalation either, but still. WFC had great multiplayer and Escalation with a mediocre campaign, whereas FOC had a great campaign with a lesser multiplayer and Escalation. It’s sad to lose the best part of WFC, but it’s all that’s left.

    Such an improvement, I'm glad FOC fixed it.

    Sidenote: I never noticed that ship was giant seeker jet mode, I guess that's what happens when you colourize a black and white game.

    :D Had a great time with that series. The online was fun as hell.

    A group of us used to play it together and had the best time online. My brother’s girlfriend at the time had to request that he played with the headset on if we were playing “CONQUEST” because it was so obnoxious lol!

    WFC is such a great game. It is how the live action movies should have been. I wish multiplayer still worked:( 

    WFC, FOC, and Devastation are my favorite TF games ever. Now if we could just get a good Transformers Mortal Kombat game and Transformers Battle Royal I would die happy.

    WFC and FOC were the best thing to happen to transformers imo, reignited my love for the franchise and made up for the awful movies. You can’t be Optimus and Megatron commentating on the multiplayer game modes and the sheer fun of being able to transform in combat mixing things up.
