Quote:Which is mostly described as 'great', but alternatively as 'overly complex'... which of course it's supposed to be, but as a fast-action title? Is the multiplayer THAT different from the single?
If by "over complex" they mean "insanely awesome and fun". Because that what it is really. Unlike in PDZ, GRAW is all about strategy. You have to plan your next move carefully, because two or three shots and you're gone. If you run around shooting wildly you won't last two seconds. It's all about getting together as a team and use the terrain to your advantage: Keep hidden and use cover where available. It's different from PDZ definitely, but in a good way as far as I'm concerned. Plus, it has a lot of really good modes: Team elimination, co-op elimation [several humans versus about 40 bots], capture the base, and so on.
One match in particular stood our for me: I was on a team with three other people against a team of four. We would scope out the surrounding area and find a good place to wait. One guy would send the UAV around to find the enemy. Once we found them, we'd carefully make our way through the empty city streets, always on the look out for movement. If you got to close together a stray grenade would end it all, so you had to stay loose. Suddenly, a hail of bullets coming from a side alley. One guy's down and the enemy's right on top of us! But then, one guy that had hung back fires off a shot through his scope and takes on down. A blast of machine gun fire from the guy on my right takes down another. I bring up my rifle and prepare to fire, but it's too late. I take a couple of shots and go down. Luckily we win the day however. And that's how it all happened...
In PDZ, it's pretty much just everyone running around like crazy and blasting each other in the face until somebody finally dies. Bleh.
Quote:Wait I thought you could change the settings in PDZ so that it doesn't take so much damage to kill someone?
I've never heard of such and option before. Not to metion, I pored through the menus looking for ways to fix that very problem.
