wow, it comes out in a few days, and i wanna know, how many of you put your money down on it, and plan to play online with Line of Contact? besides OMA, i already know hes preordered too, and from what ive read about this game, its gonna be good with clans

here is the video of the online game shown at E3, and im gonna tell you now, this video is filled with alot of over dramatic acting.

I have that game. It's cool, but very hard to a) learn b) find deskspace for. That control rig is big and bulky and if you don't place the pedals right, they're a real pain to operate.

Also, I wonder how they'll get voice-chat to work with it, since the control rig has no port for the headset.

It's cool, but so is all the loot it takes to buy it.

you plug your controler in slot 2, and the headset plugs in that controller, simple, and i know, ive played the game before, a local game....not cafe, but a place to play games at has one, its pretty fun. i did well with it.

and since LoC (Line of contact) will be heavly into team based gameplay, mabey we could feild enought people, if enough of you guys are gonna play, for a clan.

What's the going rate for this game? Last time I saw it, the controller alone cost something like $120.

Peacemaker · 2004-02-18, 02:41 PM

HFS. Teh ownage. Get a PSU squad going for that.

FlakMan · 2004-02-18, 02:37 PM

It's finally coming out? I thought it was already out for XBox.

Dharkbayne · 2004-02-18, 02:42 PM

Teh sequel. Hoob.

OneManArmy · 2004-02-18, 02:42 PM

they are re-releasing it. its already out but in limited quantities so they are producing more so people can play LoC. yay! oh and its $200

Rayder · 2004-02-18, 02:43 PM

Including the desktop controller of course.

Everay · 2004-02-18, 03:02 PM

and excluding LoC, i think, im not sure, ive heard yes and no to that already. but then again, it was yes from Gamestop. no from Capcom.

Fragmatic · 2004-02-18, 03:03 PM

If I can get a PAL version, and rustle up the money, then yes

OneManArmy · 2004-02-18, 03:04 PM

yea, LoC is a seperate purchase.

Everay · 2004-02-18, 03:05 PM

so far thats 3 people, 2 more for a full squad, and you need xbox live as well

Fragmatic · 2004-02-18, 03:07 PM

I got XBL

Just want a PAL release, I'm not gonna get an NTSC Xbox for one game, and the game, and get it shipped over (We're talking about �700 for all that)

Everay · 2004-02-18, 03:08 PM

what do you mean, PAL and NTSC?

EDIT nvm google rocks, i see, that sucks, im not sure frag. ill look into it.

damn, i dont think so frag, sorry man, but i can say that at some time or another they did release it in eroupe, and that they are gonna release LoC there, so check into it at your local game stores.
