OK, only 1 month to go and no talk? I am a big fan of the original and I can't wait to play this. To kick things off... how about a Tac nuke!!

I hope I get more situations like this. Just adds to the overall immersion... Here is some of my postings and impressions of teh first game. Shows why I can't wait for this one.

went to the spot with the chopper and snipped 2 guys behind sand bags. A 3rd guy took off for the chopper and I shot but wasn't to focused and only winged him. I watched as he climbed into the chopper and start the rotors. CRAP! I though. I'm going to lose it. The chopper lifted off the ground and I could see the guy through the glass. I took careful aim at his head and *POP!* the guy slumped over and fell out of the chopper. The chopper, once the guy fell out came back to rest on the landing pad with a thud! I ran over and hopped in.

CRAP! The copter by the village squished me! Copter starts coming at me firing rockets and bullets so I steadied my sites on the pilot with my sniper rifle. Fist shot missed because my body was being riddled with bullets. The 2nd shot hit home and the guys head was blown clear off. I lowered the rifle with a look of satisfaction as the rotor blades came to a stop and the copter came down out of the sky. My jubilation was short lived as I watched the copter come down and realize "CRAP! it's coming at me" Too late to run I could only watch in horror as my guy got git!
The lesson of the story..... gravity works

had stopped for a little while but have picked it back up. King of Diamonds is a real pain. Tanks, Jeeps, jammers and 3 AA batteries. On top of that jammers. it is making my life hell but I had a very cool thing happen. I destroyed the jammer and called in an order for a sniper rifle. I was on a mountain side with a landing pad. As the copter came in to drop off the goods I saw 2 missiles streak up and nail the Russian copter and it blew all to hell. Since it was moving towards me with the crate being lowered the debris started falling towards me. I ran a little then turned around. What did I see? The cockpit was on fire bouncing and rolling towards me. It looked like the Killzone2 trailer from the PS3 showing.

I was having so much fun I forgot to test the exploding barrels but I did pick up a civy car (while still occupied) with the helicopter winch and placed it on top of the big flat monument and you know what!?? The idiot drove off
god, what I would give for a first person view

I saw a bridge going over this ravine and 1 jeep must have hit it at an angle and flipped on its side. 2 other jeeps piled up behind it and blocked the bridge. (this was at an enemy base) and all the enemy tanks, jeeps, APCs and so on kept going around the accident right over the cliff

One month to go? Sweet.

Well, it ships Aug 31.

Did they put out any new info during E3?

I haven't heard much new for months now which worries me considering the last stuff I heard was that it was relatively pretty now, but the AI was still as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Its OFP for kiddies, lol. J/K Im gonna buy it.

Not sure about the AI but G4 did some stuff on it. Unfortunately E3 this year was pretty much a bust. Generally you only hear about teh high profile games like LBP, R2, Fallout 3 and such while great games not classified as AAA titles take a back seat.

I had tons of fun with the first one (on PS2), and the sequel looks even more promising. Good thing they kept the Swedish guy. And maybe this timne there will be a possibility to save vehicles, like the garages in GTA.

The only thing I hated about the original is that I had been extremely careful for hours of gameplay to never injure or kill AN forces. I wanted that statistic to remain as 0 for my entire game. Then, I'm rewarded for all that patience, reloading, and careful aim by them giving me a mission that forces you to kill an AN member to advance the storyline.

That's when I was fed up, glad it was a rental. I'm just really hoping this time around they don't do that to me as I'm pretty interested in buying it for PC.
