This game is cool as hell. Played 2 campaign missions and a few team deathmatches.

Jets in conquest are SO much fun. I do wish that they had just one more bar of health, but I guess everything has to have a tradeoff.

6/23/2010 1:15:06 PM

Nobody's playing conquest on PC

Team Deathmatch and Node Control are the only modes with significant numbers people playing right now. Hope more people start playing this on PC.

picked this up yesterday and had a good bit of fun playing online now. mostly just multiplayer, have yet to start up the campaign but like the idea of a 3 person campaign coop

6/24/2010 9:19:55 AM

I'm playing through the campaign, solo since no one my friends list is playing this atm, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Its like that took my childhood but put a bit of 21st century polish on it and put it back on my TV.

I would like to get into some multiplayer, but I dislike the idea of random groups...can you party up for this game's multiplayer?

If so, we should start a list, so copy and paste this to add yourself:

XBOX 360

Exiled GT = Drulax

The PC community on this game depresses me. People with the game on xbox are complaining because there's only 17,000 players, when on PC I haven't seen more than 900 online I haven't had a problem finding a match (at least in conquest or TDM), but you see a lot of the same people playing all the time.

Anyway, Axelay is right about the scientist on Conquest. I played half a game with scientist on TDM and got a total of like 2 kills to 9 deaths before deciding the class sucked. But on conquest I got almost 5000 xp my first match, and was level 6 after 2 matches.

Just jet over to the nearest hostile node, drop a sentry as soon as you get there, and jet to the next one as soon as that one is taken. If you get attacked drop a health grenade, and hit drain if they come near you. I don't bother with the guns, just keep my repair beam out constantly, it does pretty good damage to enemies.

I haven't tried the disguise though yet, Anyone know how useful those are?

no fuck Trypticon


ok so I got this on Friday and beat the Autobot campaign in about 5-6 hours or so. I have to say that I am definitely happy with this game.

Pros:

- The level design is nothing short of AWESOME. The platforming isn't jaw dropping but the interactive environments are visually brilliant (especially the sections that involve the flying transformers).
- The overall graphics are excellent and I love the design of the characters. They stay very true to the comics that are applicable to the Cybertronian versions of the Transformers.
- The story line is full of G1 awesomeness. Nuff said
- The voice acting is really good, although I hate the new guy doing Star Scream's voice. I didn't like the new Megatron until I started the Decepticon campaign. Then it just grew on me.
- The gameplay is pretty good as well with a few minor quirks.
- Multiplayer is really fun and there are plenty of modes to choose from.
- Megatron is an absolute beast with that Fusion cannon.


Cons:
-The weapons aren't as fun as I had hoped. Some are sweet and some are just useless (plasma cannon).
-The game is too short in my opinion but I guess with two campaigns it becomes longer.
-You only get to choose between 3 preset transformers per mission. This is a small gripe I have because I wanted to choose from more.
-Certain classes of Transformer are useless (scientist) which sucks because some of the more awesome transformers are in this class.
- The game can be a little repetitive at times
- The team AI is horrible. They don't kill anyone and do some of the dumbest things I have seen friendly AI do. The enemy AI takes full advantage of this and will work you if you aren't careful. I did notice that the team Decepticon AI seems smarter than the Autobot AI for some reason. They tend to do more damage in vehicle mode than the Autobots do. Maybe I am just imagining that part but that's what it seems like.
- Needs more customization for the Transformers in multiplayer.

Overall, its a collectors item for me because of the story and the homage it pays to the G1 fans which is why I bought it. However its probably more of a rental to the average consumer. Either way, its definitely worth playing.

Plasma cannon does aoe damage, not useless at all at short/medium range. I like most of the weapons except the neutron assault rifle. EDIT Sorry I got the fusion cannon and plasma cannon confused. You're right that gun does suck.

The decepticon campaign is the same length and completely different.

Scientist isn't useless at all (assuming you mean multiplayer). Ok it doesn't kill quite as fast in team death match as the other classes, but the disguise and sentry still lets it be quite deadly, and you can heal your teammates which is always useless. But in conquest it's easily the best class.

I do agree that customization should be more extensive and the AI blows.

I havent played conquest yet so maybe my opinion will change after that

either way the game is still awesome

6/28/2010 1:56:52 PM

lol I meant healing your teammates was always useful. haha.

6/28/2010 2:13:04 PM

haha i was wondering about that

6/28/2010 2:15:12 PM

Started playing some multiplayer yesterday, and I've been wrecking with the scout. Battle Pistol and scatter blaster with the cloak and mark abilities. Scoot around the level in care form cloaked until I find a target, transform, mark, surprise attack, repeat.

The killstreak rewards are pretty lame though (at least for scout), imho. I wish we could select them ourselves a'la MW2.

6/28/2010 2:23:29 PM

what is this "care" form you speak of?

6/28/2010 2:27:46 PM

^ car you little vocab nazi!

6/28/2010 3:40:41 PM

I don't know how many times I died before I figured out how to take down those shoulder cannons...

6/30/2010 8:38:05 AM

i don't know what you did, but i just hid to the sides behind the slight wall/overhang

6/30/2010 10:06:12 AM

Haha well it took me forever to see the little indicator to start the coveyor belts over his shoulders...so for 5 - 6 deaths I'd duck and cover and try to shoot his shoulder cannons off with my regular weapons...

...needless to say that didnt work so well!

Yeah it took several deaths to figure out where to hide during the shoulder cannon barrages, and at what point to pop out and shoot since he's basically firing something at you all the time.

But the first part of that fight is by far the hardest, after that all you have to worry about is running out of ammo.

6/30/2010 4:29:10 PM

Double XP weekend coming up, looks like.

6/30/2010 5:28:33 PM

I don't know why I've put off playing Scout for so long - that class is ridiculous. Scatter blaster + cloak + extra damage from decloaking + health regen on each kill = amazing. Thanks to the double XP weekend, I believe I have all of my classes up to at least 10 now. Leader with martyrdom and increased seeking range for mines is also hilarious. Definitely brings back COD4 memories.

7/3/2010 1:50:46 AM

does anyone else constantly run out of ammo in the campaign or is my aim just horrible?

7/23/2010 8:16:23 PM

I ran out quite a bit....

I need to pick this back up (just blew through Dante's Inferno and Darksiders) and play some MP...anyone still playing on 360?

7/26/2010 9:14:07 AM
