I got the Spearhead demo from fileplanet just after midnight on friday, i only had to wait 8 mins and got a great transfer rate, I was amazed.
As for the demo, some nice touches, some of the new uniforms are cool, particularly the British ones and some of the new taunts are pretty good. I found the demo to be more demanding technically than moh which i can run with everything set to full, tried that with spearhead and it was choppier than a bruce lee film!.
The malta map reminds me of DOD and the Obj based sub level really reminds me of wolfenstein, i like the new british smg and the new german combi rifle grenade launcher is useful, and the smoke grenades are great, im sure theyll be useful. I wasnt so keen on the mortars postioned around the malta map though.
Overall i have to say im not sure how much i like it yet, id better go and play it some more. One thing i do REALLY like however is the option to vote at last giving us a chance to be rid of team killers easily, about bloody time!
Anyone noticed that you are now unable to run and lean at the same time? .. I prefer when you can, dont get me wrong though I dont use the "so-called cheat" that binds 1 key for run & walk! I also would like to point out that I dont lean and run all the time! only when moving around corners!.
I played the Malta map for a few hours over the weekend and thought it was alright but just a bit too big for Team DeathMatch. Took ages to get the the frontline if you spwaned at the back of the map or maybe its just me! The maps on Allied Assault were the right size.
Cant wait to see what other maps are in store.
I like the touch with being able to go into more buildings etc. The mortars were a nice touch and I liked the new german weapon, forgot its name, but the one with the grenade launcher on it.
The quality of the graphics & skins etc are superb. I can see alot of work gone into this.
All round I think the more I play this, the more I will enjoy it. Just waiting for the full-release
I have been playing this quite a bit since the demo came out and i love it. The only thing i dont like is the non lean and run thing. I dont use key binds but i do have lean bound to my 4 button mouse for Allied assault. The fact they have removed it means i can't lean and walk round corners which i dont like. Apart from that pretty much spot on.
On a slightly off-topic note, theres now 4 avatars in this thread, and all are animals.
I'm sorry, where were we? Oh yes, spearhead demo...... you were saying?
