Having a friend to play with I was satisfied with the $20 it cost me to own this game for a month. I don't think its worth anything more than the $8 it would cost to rent it for a weekend if you are playing by yourself.

Just beat the game for the third time tonight, still haven't gotten my 1 million achievement. Must be close. Still need to beat the game with the AI for that achievement, maybe I'll do that, and I should get a million along the way.
It's worth a rental for sure, if you have gamefly I would recommend this

Speaking of beating the game, I just did that last night on Recruit difficulty. The menu states that if you beat Recruit difficulty you unlock Professional difficulty. When I go to load a previous chapter or start a new campaign I can't select Professional. :-s

Got the demo last night and was playing with some random. Found it great to use the celebrate/taunt buttons randomly while he was trying to do something.
Gameplay wise it seemed pretty fun. Probably will check it out on the cheap(er).

I recently got this from Goozex. I popped it in last night and it's not great, but it's not terrible either. The whole thing feels pretty gimmicky, so I don't know if I'll stick through the whole thing. I'm guessing co-op of some sort is much better than the single player campaign alone? How's the lag been?

Well I "bought" mine with Goozex points, and I'm pretty positive I'll be keeping it for the co-op campaign alone. If you have someone to play with, it's worth the $38. Worst case scenario, it's a short game, play through it and sell/trade it away.
The AI is a bit lacking, but that's always the case.

Yeah, content is out now - might want to update the thread.
I was thinking of buying it, actually.. well, planning to since I heard of it, but it's online only, correct? I don't play the game online, only by myself, and with my buddy (we just do campaign) - so if I bought them, as-long as they are online only, they would be pretty wasteful.
The map pack is also 600 points, for those wondering.

New levels are awesome, although, I have to say, besides the fact that the new "alternate" boss, the "new" ending still kind of sucks.
Very fun though, anyone who has Ao2 should download them right away, especially since they are free to begin with, I would have gladly paid for these though.
The new levels also add 6 new briefcases to the game, I'm not sure if they affect the achievement or not (guessing they do), but I'll find out soon enough (I missed one briefcase on the boat, and missed one in the first of the new levels, so if it doesn't unlock when I get the one on the boat, we'll know).

05-29-2008, 10:53 PM
Just to clarify for everyone, you don't need the new briefcases for the "My Kinda Case!" achievement. I just got the Aircraft Carrier one I missed, and got 5/6 from the new levels, and it still unlocked.
Just wanted to give a heads-up on that.

I was playing through this game last night and it had one of the best glitches ever.
When I was on the aircraft carrier I went into the control room to talk to the captain. Cutscene begins and there is an empty chair. I though, what a great reveal, there is no captaibn, it was all a lie. Then I started to realize that if there is no captain, my soldiers sound insane. So I read my new objective and realized the captain didn't load, voice nor image. It was very odd.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but with today's Gamefly $9.99 sale, are there going to be any new or returning players online? I sold mine shortly before the add-on content was released so I'm excited to give the new levels a try and some of the online I never messed with. I should have my game in about a week.
