Ok we're going to have to have people that play together regularly so we know the host won't bail all the time. Getting annoying.

I hate getting paired with people in the UK, also.

However, when it works right, this game is fun. It's a nice change from CoD.

BFBC2 is also a nice change from CoD.

:D

All my friends play on Xbox, so I usually play FPSs there.

What I like about this game is the cover system which I haven't seen in a FPS since Rainbow6 Vegas (minus Gears of War) and I missed it. Leads to some interesting battles.

Is it like the "cover" in Mass Effect 2?

I've played about 5 matches so far. Thoughts:

1. Need more people playing.

2. Host quitting is annoying as it's happened in 2 of my 5 games.

3. Cover system is nice.

4. Noob tubers with RPG's are already beyond the rage quitting point...might have something to do with hosts quitting.

5. Need more people playing.

It's just a few hours old so I'm sure we'll get fuller matches. I imagine with full teams, this could be a blast. Worth the $15 bucks to me.

I think the trick is to get 3-5 people, or more, and start a lobby and people will trickle in (and you won't have to worry about host leaving).

I was able to play a good deal of matches without the host issue though, but it sucks when it happens, but it seems like you get the xp anyway? Not sure.

The RPG's and stuff are crazy, but you can avoid them pretty easily, the maps are spread out, just listen and move along lol.

Another thing I'd like to see is to be able spawn where ever you want. Like if you're waiting to get back in and you see Point A is being taken...have the option to spawn there. As far as I can tell the spawning is pretty random. I just got out of class so I'm going to give it another go before I have to go to my labs.

Some reviews for Breach:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/8588-Review-Breach

One of them is kind of harsh against Breach, but they are comparing it to BFBCII and COD. I will agree that if you're going to compare it against those games, you're likely to be disappointed. The other one takes it for what it is and gives a pretty fair review.

It seems that everybody wants to start their own game. I'm seeing a lot of 1 man rooms for the same map. Why don't these dummies just join a game that is already created.

Anyway, I join one game (I'm just trying to level up anyway), and I capture 2 points and the other dude captures two points. So the point in the middle is up for grabs. I go high to see if I can see the guy approaching that point and he is just standing there in the middle of the road with his RPG handy. So of course I shoot him...and take over one of his points. Kill him again and take over another one of his points. Then he takes over one of the points I just took and I launch a RPG at him and kill him...he quits.

Next match more of the same. 1 versus 1. I kill him 3 or 4 times and he quits. I still got the XP though, so I'm not too upset.

But people need to smarten up and get into matches that are already created...this one on one crap is getting old.
