From what I've seen, it looks alright.

Anyway, I'm downloading it. We'll have to try and meet up if we can.

Definitely. And oops on the title - can someone take the gameplay out of the title?

I'm in the beta and I'm disappointed, especially the targeting system, I would have thought it would be more creative like crackdown.

Can't even get in at the moment, been at the "connecting to district server" screen for about 10 minutes.

Nevermind, got in straight away at the second attempt. Played it for about an hour, I quite liked it.

What didn't you like about the targetting system, Warboy? It seemed like a pretty standard system for a TPS to me.

are they shooting out water?

**Kiwi** · 05-11-2010, 02:01 PM

Que?

**Gummy** · 05-11-2010, 02:21 PM

when the bullet hits the surface, it looks like water.

**Kiwi** · 05-11-2010, 02:56 PM

I hadn't even watched that video. I'll have to see if it's like that in the game later.

I would have thought of a targeting system, what is there is a free-fire system.

I.E. Targeting systems from Crackdown (Also made by Realtime) or like the GTA4 Targeting system.

I dunno, I don't really think you should have a lock-on system on an online game, at least for shooting.

On a online game where you can shoot out a car? I think you should.

Shooting somebody in a moving car is pretty easy, lock-on would make it far too easy. Should be about skill, not who can lock on to the enemy the quickest and spam the fire button.
