has anyone managed to kill all the machine gun guards at the end of the demo, I think I killed one but I'm not quite sure as I died right after. I reckon it's possible if you try and try and try with plenty of slide kicks to the balls.

I think you're not meant to. Run and jump in the chopper!

You need to make them follow you to the edge of the building (where the chopper is) and then kick them in order to make them fall off, the helicopter that flies by will serve as a "grinder" to kill them mid air, that or they will fall to their dead.

Kidding, you dont have to kill them

I personally will be getting it for my PC, as it is first-person perspective I've always found they work much better with mouse and keyboard.

I bought Fallout 3 for my PC for the controls and for the potential mod scene :yes:

As far as I am concerned, FPS games belong on PC and no where else, but sadly due to multi-console releasing I've found them getting dumbed down and simplified :(

OT: CoD4? Well that was as brain dead as number 1 & 2, HL got more complicated and Far Cry didn't get any easier either. Consoles definitely have some games which are suited to them ie Halo 3 nice big fisher price colours and simple 2d characters running about in huge empty rooms fighting the big bad stereotypical aliens. But for everyone of those we get something unique like Left 4 Dead.

Though I'll agree that the 'Action' RPG genre has taken a turn for the worst. It started when they murdered Deus Ex. :(

Will definitely get this for my 360.

This game is not like your ordinary first-person shooter and in my opinion does not work very well with a keyboard & mouse.

I will get it for 360 as well. I think you are right too, this game fits a controller layout so well.

In other words, you can't use a controller...

I have no problems with using a controller, in fact I love sitting on my sofa playing Fable 2, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, GTA4 and Saint's Row on my 360...

However when it comes to FPS or RTS games I've always found that mouse and keyboard can't be beaten.

I've played FPS games with a controller and to be honest I just didn't like it :blink:

why wont it work well w/ a mouse and keyboard? it's just button mashing combos - run, jump, roll, jump, run, kick, disarm, run some more, jump over stuff. i can hit the keys just as well as working a controller. plus a mouse always gives you more control over looking around.

EDIT: I thought this was a totally different thread :ninja:

Button mashing games work much better on the console in my opinion, feels 'better' somehow. Only those slow paced 4-button FPS games work better on the PC for me.

Never said it was unplayable or worse on the PC just a personal opinion, plus those who know how to use a controller won't have difficulties 'looking around' ...

I really hope more games start to use pc vs 360 MP, so we can finally see what some of the pros on both side can do. So far only Shadowrun uses it iirc and they dumbed down the pc controls. I want them to have as much freedom as they want then go up against them. I'll probably not do as well obviously, but I still want to see if I can stand my ground.

No big reviews in yet, but Gamereactor hit this with a 6/10

http://n4g.com/News-228177.aspx

Probably going to end up another Assassins Creed, glowing reviews and average reviews, love it or hate it.

Although I personally think I'll enjoy it much more than AC.

      I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By LittleNeutrino · Posted

      This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.

      That definitely doesn’t match my experience with using Outlook. I use the new Outlook with a local account, connected to a email account, that absolutely isn’t connected to a Microsoft account without an issue.   I used Thunderbird/Firebird once, lost some very precious emails and memories, because of the way it stored emails. Swore I would never use it again, it technically wasn’t the fault of Thunderbird, but an extension but the underlying reason it failed was due to the message format.
