Forum Overview :: Operation: Hammer Time
 
I don't like this game anymore by I need clarification 03/26/2003, 2:25pm PST
In fact, I never wanted to buy it. When the rumors of its release first came out, I kept telling my friends, "I'm not buying it." All of them said they weren't buying it, either. Yet somehow we're all online every night now, trying to keep up with it.

Which is ironic, because it's not all that much fun. When one of my own guys gets killed, I feel genuinely sad. Worse, when one of the enemy gets killed, I feel badly for him, too!

The story leaves a lot to be desired. They didn't really establish the backstory of the game all that well, so I don't understand why my guys are fighting these other guys.

I've read the manual pretty carefully, and there seem to be a lot of rules. But the enemy doesn't follow them all the time, especially in regards to how they treat any of my guys that they capture. I'm trying not to, but I keep going to gamefaq to find the cheats so I can start doing it to their guys, too. I think the guy I'm playing against may have hacked his game and is going to use weapons that are banned. Which means I may have to use some of my bigger weapons, which seems kind of ridiculous and a little scary.

The worst thing is that it seems to have completely taken over my machine. I want to try out other games, or download music, or really anything other than play this game, but it's using up all my CPU cycles, and I'm pretty sure there's a memory leak in there somewhere, too. Everything is bogged down.

Finally, I like games I can finish. This one seems like it's going to drag on for a while, and then they're going to make us by the extension packs everyone else has already mentioned. I'm not enjoying the experience, and it doesn't seem like it's ever going to stop...
