I wish they had local coop for story and fireteam engagement. Oh. On the mission 1st and 10 let’s do it again on the hill after you kill everyone there are some missle lanchers. Pick one up and u can blow up the ally helicopters that go by.

@falconsupreme, @Inside Gaming,
He is right, it is obvious that u guys focus on console but u all got good PC’s so why doesnt someone try out the games on PC and put in like a compare section at the bottom. I think that it woud be epic, as PC gaming is to be respected too. Think about it IG staff :P

Here’s the thing: It’s upsetting the PC version is granted the same score, where the graphics problem and the A.I are both significantly better. We need a bonus section after every review dedicated to PC. It would also be nice for when games fail to work on PC, that way PC players can be warned.

Hey,
I agree with how retarded the AI behaves and it is especially obvious when you are down and your teammates bite the dust, as they either totally ignore you because the cant get over themselves to climb a ladder or because they get slain by the chinese spec ops people who seem slightly overpowered considering that they down you in one or two shots and they seemingly take up to 7 bullets ( Smart tip: AIM FOR THE HEAD)
Anyways, having played it on PC, the graphics are great and the desert atmosphere gets transferred quite well. The only thing graphic concerning that really pissed me off is that locations get repeated to often. An area called the “Crossroads” gets repeated in 3 missions and can prove to be quite repetitive once you found out about all the secret paths you can take. Also the inability of your team to use rocket launchers can prove to be horrible as one tank or LAV can just mow down your entire squad.
Even though realism is praised in this game, when playing on easy (or non-hardcore) teammates respawn magically at save points and some god heals you again.
It is a good game in my opinion and Co-op is funny as hell, best thing to play with your friends. Having played through the whole franchise, this game really brings flashpoint to a new level and brings this franchise to a high note.
I reckon having played the PC version gives me slightly different opinions on some things and I think this game does definately deserve a 8,5-9 rating, as it seems to be the most realistic shooter out there at the moment.

I guess this is a game that’s meant to be played on a pc. That would at least fix the graphics issues.
