Well.. doesn't EA own Criterion?


yes of course they do.

and i dont think sedolf was talking about this game alone, obviously i havent seen any cars and big boobs yet. He was also stating what he wanted in a game. and that part of the post was a blast. Very Happy

edit: back to the game. the cutscenes inbetween missions is probably the worse i have ever seen. splinter cell is like oscar material in comparisment. and there doesnt seem to be a way to pass on them either.

but yeah the game itself is starting to grow on me. im in kazaa kstan now and it looks really ccol with snipers and stuff. nice, nice.

im playing on normal. and there seem to be some silver weapon lockups. whats on hard? gold?

What I love is if you take cover in a house, it gets shot to shit, and you can go outside after you killed the enemies and take a look at the damage. Thats awesome.

The way bits of the door and window frame get blown away.

Oh yeah before I forget if anyone happens across the exclusive preorder code that unlocks the heavy machine gun - PLEASE put it up. Im maybe being overly optimistic in light of the fact that the game hasn't even hit retail but thought I would ask incase anyone sees the code kicking around on forums. Smile

Appreciated Nailbiter thanks, im a lazy bugger for not checking other sites I'd just presumed that EA would hand the code out when the game ships. Wink

Cheers for the others codes that you just edited in as well. Smile

I just played the game for an hour or so speed run style through to the middle of the Nazran town/cemetary (or whatever it was called) and liked what I've seen of the game so far. Im busy to the point where im gonna hold off playing it until the weekend and restart from the beginning instead of just stupidly rushing through it and missing out on the best of the game - from the looks of it this game deserves to be played "properly".

that gun aint the bfg in the picture you get that gun on like the 4th or 5th level the BFG must be something else. It even says in the hints you can earn the gun.

Working fine here on both xbox's.

1st xbox:
1.6b with DuoX2 (flashed with EvoXM8Plus bios) and running XBMC as dash. 200gb hdd.

2nd xbox:
1.0 with Aladdin Advance and currently X2 4981 with a few tweaks by me. 80gb hdd.

And about reviews, picked up newest Gamereactor (swedish game magazine) and it had a review of Black in it (read the magazine today) and it got 9/10.

It's probably black and white because its auto switching to PAL, try forcing it to NTSC.

Nice to see many improvements since the demo. I'm glad they fixed the difficulty - now it doesn't play like a slow-paced, realistic tactical shooter anymore. Instead it's the fast-paced action I always expected!! Very Happy There are also some other small new things like one-hit shotgun kills, screen blur while reloading, vibrations etc.. I'm sure the game will be fun for a few hours.

8 levels the ending is a bit bleh but criterion have stated this is part one of a trilogy so i guess theyre forgiven. Now trying it on the black ops difficulty and its fucking hard this is gonna take some time to beat on the hardest cuz of the gap in checkpoints

what settings are you guys playing at? AT easy its just run and gun but normal is too difficult. In level 2, as soon as I shoot 1 guy everybody else get together and fire at me and the S controller is no mouse so its curtains before I get a good aim. I know I just suck at console shooters but nothing can beat the mouse/keyboard combo...

Totally agree...i would enjoy this game way much more if i had a mouose/keyboard cause since it takes half a clip to kill a guy, you need to aim the head but good luck with a fuckin controller..takes like 7 seconds or more to aim properly

I didn't have any problems playing on normal and pretty much run and gunned my way through to the Nazram cemetary/town, didn't even die once up to the point where I turned the Xbox off. There were a few times where I came close to death on the second level and survived by taking refuge in a building and picking people off from distance or just rushing through enemies to the nearest health pack - maybe I was just lucky.

Well, completed BLACK on Normal difficulty now and i must say this is the best Xbox game i´ve ever played! I can´t find one single negative thing to say about this game, best FPS ever made...Period! The only "negative" is that the game is really short, took me 6 hours to beat it but i rarely get stuck in these kinds of games. I will surely replay this on Hard when the NTSC version with 480p is released ^_^ Now, over to Grandia III !


Just a head's up... runs just fine in 480p on my setup. NTSC Box.
