Still a bit gutted at the absence of Mercs vs Spies though. Absolutely fantastic asymmetrical concept, brilliantly implemented. I almost wonder if it’s worth releasing it as a standalone title, like Warhawk and BF1943, with mildly upgraded gfx. Pretty please, Ubisoft?

You’re probably right about the level editor thing. I would have asked after it but time was short, and I had to get the inevitable “will it be going multiplatform” questions out of the way.

Game shows promise…SC, GRAW on the way, there’s only one missing, a new Rainbow six game.

I actually think these tactical/military tom clancy games are what Ubi does best, for all the plaudits Assasins creed gets, it’s very boring in the long run, whereas give me a FAMAS and a man repeatedly shouting ‘that’s the guy who shot Marcello’ and i’m entertained for months.

In R6Vegas…terrorist hunt + PEC levelling led to hundreds of hours for me…then in Nr 2 the levelling was a bit…better tbh, it didn’t take three years to get to elite.

I think if this ‘hunt’ game mode is good, and the PEC provides enough trinkets for addiction to set in, then it will provide the game with a lot of legs.

I’ve been to the ubi.com forums, and lots of people moaning about no spys vs mercs (admittedly the 2 player vs in this sounds weak). But…the last SC didn’t have co op and a t hunt mode…I think this co op focus is the right decision for this particular game – downloading files made for a pretty crap MP, and whatever you do with this game in versus, it’s never going to be as good as shooters like R6, COD, graw etc.

….The PEC system, i would hope actually takes more than 35 hours to reach the top rungs, because it’s just a nice excuse to keep on playing.

Level editor is a great idea, though i bet they don’t do it – if you could design your own hunt maps, share them..that would be a nice way to keep it fresh as you work through the PEC. Alas, only Far Cry 2 gets the editor action (and i think that was prob because Crytek left a legacy there they had to live up to)
