I'm gonna sit right here on the fence
I agree that this is a
bad game, a linear, buggy, hideously ugly game, but I don't think it deserves no 2 out of 10. Scores like that are absurd, and echo some of the most harped on flaws of the fans themselves: having expectations so high that they take out their anger on the game we've got.
The multiplayer does do a great job of keeping people playing, and the issues are all things that can be patched.
I could care less about the campaign, or this 'true sequel/canon' crap we've been prepared with. Just ditch that idea and view this as a run-of-the-mill Aliens title and it immediately gets a little better. There are lots of games with bad campaigns, look at the Battlefield series (though a bad comparison to make, I suppose, seeing the bulk of the game is the mp, but ya get my point I hope.)
Glad your havin fun, Rich. I'm grinding my way through the campaign, and was surprised by the WY sections honestly. I thought I was going to be bored and groaning, but their AI is no different than any of the morons in the CoD campaigns. Neither are your AI buddies!
I've recently had several AI comrades do just as retarded and unpredictable things in Black Ops 2. Running in front of me constantly, running past enemies and not shooting them, standing next to enemies, etc... No different. I don't find it a lot different than any modern game, except for the insane lack of polish that screams of a rushed product.
