Great game; wish it worked
I have played this game a little bit at my friends house and loved it, so I figured what the hell. I went to the store and bought the platinum pack with all the booklets and the extra mission pack cd and everything. I get home and install it- it installs beautifully. My computer is a new p4 2.2 256 Ram with an okay video card, and that was far exceeding the box recommendations. I got into the game menu and begin the missions and right as I press the button to start the action, my computer completely shuts down. I don't know why it does it- I have well over the recommendations. Buy this game if you really hope that it will work- mine regretfully didn't.

near perfection tarnished by horrible AI
this game is so nearly perfect. i want to cry when i think about the game designers sitting around saying "hmm well the only problem is that the enemy AI can't get a half-decent head shot off with its target under cover while running." what in the world were they thinking? i mean the enemies do NOT miss. meanwhile your team mates cant hit squat and always fire only after one otehr guy is dead. I found myself going off course to take care of red or yellow team's work because i knew they were just going to mess up and die anyway. long range fighting is torturous, especially without auto-aiming on. the enemies always hit first at long range unless you're really really lucky.
Everything i havn't mentioned yet in this game is absolutely incredible. close-range combat is great. auto-aiming makes it easier but takes away most of the satisfaction of shooting a terrorist, you miss that frantic moment where you have to aim before you get shot, which is the best feeling inthe whole game. the sound of "tango down" is truly a beautiful thing to hear. one hit kills are pretty much guarenteed; when im not sniping i always use fully automatic weapons so i cant really say if the first hit is the one that killed the guy, but it really doesnt matter. of course this doesnt apply to sidearms, but you wont run into bruce-willis in die hard 2 gunfights where you're pinned down and have to spend several minutes fighting. someone always dies at the first confrontation.
The tactical planning is also loads of fun, orchestrating ambushes and the like. one of the best feelings in the game is seeing another team arrive just as planned, on the other side of the room, ready to uselessly stand there while you shoot everyone. the AI nevel lets you forget how bad it is. i wish i could just install a patch that dulled the enemy AI's aim and raised the friendly AI's reaction speed.
of corse the enemy AI is a pleasure to fight as long as you pull the trigger first, these guys are brilliant. i wouldnt say the AI is as good as the hugely underrated AI in Jedi Knight 2, but it will seriously surprise you sometimes.

Awesome
This game rocks!! The possibilities are endless with so much mods to be able to get. Cool new weopons like the steyr aug. Fun online play. Plus I like all the custom missions. This is a complicated game but sniping a terrorist while your teamates sneak in through the back is pretty cool. Once you get bored of the game (which will be a long while...) get some mods and it will be as interesting as it was when you first got. Good FPS.
