I heard the game is actually REALLY good. I'm tempted to buy it. But I'm saving my money for the steam sales.

It is a great game and I am loving it. I've played through the Decepticon campaign with a guy I met in Power Struggle (A team MP mode). Yesterday, and I'll understand if you don't believe this, I teamed up with him and two other guys and we did Escalation mode. The four of us worked so well together we got to Wave 16 before I had to quit. I don't even know how far they got, they kept going. So I got that impossible achievement on my first try lol.
Very fun. I think I like escalation more than death match and team games though.

Here's me playing some of the campaign (ignore the last part when I do MP because the host was laggy)

Beta, how is the game?
I was super amped to get it until I heard about all the "issues" it has. FPS locked, no custom controls, no video settings, no dedicated servers, no host migration, no voice chat, no text chat, x and y axis have separate sensitivities, etc. I'm sure the game is pretty fun but I'm afraid the PC community won't be around in 3 months. What kills me is if HMS included all these little things, it sounds like WfC would have been up for PC MP GotY.

FPS locked at 30 fps >< ugh
That just sounds like a really bad port to me, what's the point of a PC game if the hardware doesn't go to use.

I heard the game isn't that great...
Yeah there are a bunch of restrictions in it, and I don't see that changing because the game is being published by Activision.
The game is fun though. The multiplayer is still pretty fun without the text and voice. Only thing it REALLY needs is host migration
Thanks for contributing to the thread!

Gamestop once fired one of their reviewers for giving a bad review for Kane and Lynch, a game that was sponsoring Gamespot at that time
* Lack of visual and gameplay variety in the campaign
Right off the bat I can tell they did not pay attention to what happened in the game. The environment was stunning and beautiful.
* Paucity of ammunition
Stop spraying and praying.
* Boss fights are incredibly tedious
Excuse me, boss fights are supposed to be tough.
* Friendly and enemy AI is poor
The AI was pretty above average in this game. They actually did something. I know a few games where the AI is complete trash
* Transformations are integrated poorly with the core action.
I think transforming into a tank and shooting rockets at crowds of enemies is pretty useful, how about you?

I'm a not so good judge when it comes to reviews, I just look at 'em. I haven't played the game yet, but I am borrowing my friends PS3 copy Wednesday, so I'll make my own argument at that time. I understand the tedious boss fights argument though, no boss fight should be easy.

From what I've read, the transformations add something to the gameplay instead of being gimmicky mechanics.
As for AI, if you need to depend on it then go to a lower difficulty.
I'm psyched for it, but haven't picked it up yet. The lack of Host Migration and chat (or any sort) burns.
