Been trying for like 2 days trying to get run, but its been nothing but problems, which will now never be fixed, fantastic. I guess its a free game, so no sweat off my back!
Yeah, it's one piece of shit alright. I was hoping to get my tactical FPS on again, as it's been a while since I used to rock those ... back when Tom Clancey's Ravenshield was the shit!!!!
Aye, one of the worst launches I've seen, still have not been able to sign on properly and no saving of progress in training whatsoever. Don't know if its fully the devs fault, but this never should have been released this soon.
I'm still finding it hard to believe that they didn't prepare for the massive influx of users, releasing a free game is one thing but advertising it and releasing it on Steam with Steamworks integration is a whole different beast as everyone even slightly interested in FPS's are at least gonna try it. On that note, I wonder if the auth servers are up yet? I wanna play :(
@DrunkAus: No you dont. Once you get in game its just as buggy. Did the training missions about 3 times earlier never saved one. Ok fine. Tried to play some multiplayer wouldnt work at all. Opened a port and hooray it worked once. Couldnt connect ever again. Gave up for ever
The problem I see here is that, assuming anyone plays the game anyways, it will make the morons who think they can drive after a couple of cold ones think they can somehow "practice away" the difference between drunk and sober on a video game. Yes, some people are that stupid.
@DeadlyWhispers: haha, hey now. calgary is not some obscure, isolated city. it's quite a metropolitan area with our impressive skyscrapers and towers. ;)
This is funny because my friend in the Navy says they are given extra days off if they can have 100 days without an Alcohol related incident. They have never gotten to that 100th day.
@MaximusDM: There's a difference, and Congress will prove it.
In GTA IV they forced you to drive drunk for points or "coins" if you will, in gamer lingo, while running down children who were having fully nude lesbian alien sex.
This game the army wants to buy has absolutely no lesbian sex. None whatsoever. So it's OK.
And you aren't rewarded for it. Also you are highly likely to get chased by the police making your trip more of a hassle than anything. You have the option to get drunk. And from that point you have the option drive or to take a cab to any location.
There are no children in any GTA IV. Which is a shame.
Coming from a soldier, this is retarded. They need to stop educating and start punishing. Put these fuckers out of the Army after one DUI. Instead I see NCOs and officers pulling all kinds of strings to keep these fuckers out of as much trouble as possible, because 'he/she is a good soldier at work'.
What the fuck is that shit? If they were a good soldier, they wouldn't be out getting DUI.
Here's a radical thought that I'm sure the Department of The Army probably keeps failing to think about:
Instead of putting all this money on what I am sure will be a laughable concept to all/most returning Veterans, why not put the money into something of better use:
Post Tramatic Stress Disorder
"!"
PTSD is on the rise, and drinking is a residual of "self medication". Add to the fact that drug abuse is also on the rise, and you realize a little too late that YOU DON'T HAVE A VIDEO GAME FOR THAT!
Granted, I would probaly play that game. The trippy colors might make a good screensaver or something...
I wish I could meet the Colonel that came up with this idea... Only a person "reaching for a star" would come up with this BULL-SHEEEAT!

I'm assuming that this is totally sarcastic.

The "drunk driving for points" thing was actually said at some point by some idiot, and MADD was accusing GTA IV for glorifying drunk driving.
The nude lesbian sex is just a reference to Fox news' piece on Mass Effect.
