I've just installed a game called "Breed" on my pc...which seems to be a hybrid of Halo and Starship Troopers. Nothing too groundbreaking, probably just a clone kinda game, but, fairly decent graphics, and "ok" combat so far. I'll give any FPS a chance though, so I'll see if it gets better.

- It DIDN'T get better.
I played through some BOOORING training stages, all presented in a fucking EYESORE of a green shade to look all "virtual" (but really, it was just irritating), some combat training, and some vehicle training, then onto the first mission.
The vehicles have the most slow, unresponsive controls...not to mention, the airplanes are almost impossible to fly, it took me about 20 goes just to finish the level without crashing...
The overall controls are revolting...rather than being able to "share" certain common controls between the vehicles, and on foot, you have to set up controls for movement, combat, ground vehicle, and air vehicle...and get this - none of them can conflict with eachother...
The first mission of the game itself was just too chaotic, and I don't mean GOOD "call of duty" kinda chaotic, I mean, stupid, disorganised shit happening everywhere.
The ONLY good thing about this game was the ability to swap between different squad members, each with special attributes...and the orders you could give your squad. However, when you don't give them orders, rather than performing as most npc's should, they shoot a little, and generally get their asses kicked and leave 95% of the bad guys to you, and there was 3 of them!...that there was some annoying shit.
Oh yeah, and even while running, your character moves around too damn slow.
Nice visuals and sound, and what MAY have been a promising storyline, but...that's pretty much it, the rest of the game really DOES just come across as a dodgy Halo rip-off...and I didn't even like HALO.
I'd avoid this peice of shit at all costs...I only payed $5 for a burnt copy, and even at THAT price I feel jipped.
Sorry, hadda vent.

Actually, not quite finished...
Know what? I dunno if it's just me, but I'm getting kind of fucking SICK of like, every second FPS game out nowdays being somehow squad based...I don't know which game started this...but it's beggining to really get to me.
Don't get me wrong, the overall concept isn't BAD, I just think you should have the choice to go solo, and, have npc's that are actually more than just cannon fodder.
In call of duty, it was great...your team actually felt like one, and kicked just as much, if not MORE ass than you.
However, in like, every other game since, I've found it annoying as hell...The kinda IDIOT squads most games have you working with/protecting...well...they'd get your ass KILLED in real life.
Fuck off with the goddamn squad based SHIT!
aaaand, I'm done.
