This has been the BEST coop experience I've had on the PC. I've been playing it online with another person, right from the start and we are BOTH involved in the whole game, this is how coop is meant to be made. Controls are good except for the fact that while crouching the crosshairs follow the target. Now on a console this would be a good thing but not on PC, we have more control and I hope an update allows us to change that. Also there is no way to type to your team mate online, it doesn't make sense but I guess they assume with xbox live, you can just chat, but not so with the PC. I had to use ventrilo to communicate to my partner. Those are the only two draw backs I've had so far, the AI could be a bit better I guess. The game has been playing flawlessly on both systems we play on, not one crash yet. If your wanting the best coop experience to date on the PC, you gotta pick this game up! I guarantee you will be happy with it once you have a friend to play with online, its a blast. As for in game content, there is a lot to do, its not just boring missions and linear. You get to choose which faction you want to go with and the missions, accept or deny them, the choice is yours. I'm not going to go into any more detail as I will spoil the game for others. If your a true shooter fan that likes to see stuff fly when you shoot at it, this game is for you!

Lack luster from EA again.

What happened? When Pandemic was hooked up with Lucas arts the first game came out great! Now that they are hooked up with EA it looks like "to market or bust!". This game is ridden with bugs, errors, glitches and on PC you can't even save your game because all Manuel save files become corrupted! I under stand that not every little thing can be perfect but the game needs to at least be more then "playable enough" when it hits the street. I know people will not only tell me I'm wining but will also say "it's not that bad nub!" When are we going to stop putting up with shotty craftsmen ship and make them accountable for their mistakes? On a side note I was disappointed to see that they didn't bring back Michael Giacchino and Chris Tilton to do the musical score. I took it back to the store and will probably re-buy it should they every get the patch to us. If you don't believe me about the glitches and bugs go over to the Pandemic Studios Forums and check out the "official bug thread" at this time is over 29 pages long.
