It would be nice to have a good modern 3D game that used The Terminator
storyline from the popular sci-fi films, but this fails miserably. It tries
to clone Battlefield 1942's gameplay but badly. There
are two factions - the sentient machines, known as Skynet, and the humans,
who are called Tech-Com. Each side has a small handful of classes that
include basic roles, like snipers and heavy weapons specialists. Skynet
also has infiltrators (machine spies who look like humans), a tank,
and small hovercraft that's armed with lasers and missiles. The Tech-Com
side has a dune buggy with a machine gun mount, burned-out car with
a rocket launcher mount, and armored personnel carriers with laser cannons
and ....the player with the highest frag count can choose to respawn
as The Terminator. There are 12 badly designed maps with dead ends,
shoddy network code, and no online community support. The graphics are
dull - when a player is killed they fall over like a tree being cut. |
