    Is it worth the money? It was fun when I played it at Dragon*Con

    As you've probably noticed there's alot of hate for this game.
    It had a ton of launch issues, but most of them have been corrected by now.

    Its fun at times, but I highly advice you to play it online with other people.
    The AI in singleplayer is one of the worst I've ever seen. The bots often ignores you and the main objective.

    If you're an AMD / Ati user I really wouldnt recommend the PC version. It runs horrible with most of those cards. Nvidia is much more smooth for this game.

    The console versions are what they are, pop-in textures etc.

    Dont expect to see alot of folks online at this point. After the harsh reviews, and the launch issues, most people moved on to other games.

    I cant say the game is worth its full launch price now. If you can find it on a discount, like 50% off the original price, why not.

    Im still active on the 360 version, so give me a poke if you're going for that platform.

    I was going to get it for the PS3. I think I'll wait for Uncharted 3 instead.

    That game had so much hype but it just couldn't live up to even minimum expectations. I was one of the people rooting for it the most, now I wish I could go back in time and skip it, save myself some grief and be $60 richer.

    No offense, but I can imagine you havent played it since launch.
    The game is much smoother now, and In my oppinion a better experience.

    I played it about a month ago, it's not the fact that it wasn't "smooth" it was just overhyped and proved to be a very big let down. I played it a LOT when I first got it but it just didn't hold up very well compared to other games, even with the patches and updates it still isn't all that great.
