Looks like the guy just doesn't like team-based shooters.
The game emphasizes that you stick together as a team and collectively work to take an objective. I wouldn't call that a balance issue.
The menu at the end shows the times. I think that's what its going by.
I'm in space.

Depends on the platform.
360 has online issues (which some are experiencing more than others)
PS3's online is unknown for now, but might also have those issues.
PC runs perfectly as long as you have an nVidia card. There also is an issue with sound going mute on one of the maps.
Yea, it seems to be devoid of older games.
DeusEx and Systemshock2 had surprising twists.
Jak3's reveal of the precursor is also memorable.
I'd say the fight with PsychoMantis in MGS...
... the whole running around naked with colonel going nuts in MGS2
... and the ending of MGS3
... and when ocelot shoots everyone with his finger in MGS4.
However, 'I feel asleep' probably takes the cake.
The grenades are like that for balance issues. Most team-based shooters have weak gernades (including BC2 and Counterstrike) where it has to literally explode beneath someone's feet for them to feel it.
Powerful nades = nade spammage on objective
I think a bigger factor with the nades is the sound effect of the explosion. It just sounds rather weak. Take another look at the 'Container City' preview. The gernade explosions in the first part of the video are...
Well, the online and technical issues are valid I suppose.
The gameplay criticism is probably where the sarcasm lies as it's the stereotypical make-this-game-more-like-CoD comments.
... How is it a rip-off of either game? O.o
... also, how could you have experienced all those problems when the majority of them relates to online, which you can't play when PSN is down? O.o
It's not really a game that can be recommended to everyone.
For example, you can tell someone to play LPB or Portal2 or even CoD and chances are, they'd like it.
Tell them to play MAG or Stalker or MGS4 and things might not go as smoothly. It's not that those are bad games, it's just that the criticism people have against the game is the same reason many love it.
Though, the above only applies for gameplay criticisms.
There ar...
Mouse & Keyboard.
Hell yea!
... you mean someone who knows the hotkeys Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V?
I find it odd how things like this can seep through into the final product.
From the broken online in Brink's 360 version to BlackOps' horrendous performance on PC.
Just goes to show that publishers either need to invest in better game-testing, or hold betas (open or closed).
Heh yea.
I was thinking to myself why killing just didn't feel all that satisfying. Then I realized it didn't have ragdolls.
So no, it isn't just you.
I've grown so accustomed to ragdolls. =/
That would be the first mission of the game. I hate that map too.
The game's colour palette seems to go from Blue to Red as the game progresses. =/
... and that's why I've been having fun with the game so far.
=)
... isn't there 8 maps? O.o
^ The 360 has online issues from what I've read.
The PC has performance issues with ATI cards.
The PS3 has no issue so far aside from PSN being down.
=/
AI in crysis2 isn't all that better either. Though the SP campaign is quite good.
Just don't cheat yourself of the experience by cloaking past everything like I did. =/
Still is odd that you're returning Brink because of it's AI and visuals when the game's forte is the team-based multiplayer.
I agree with most of the points, however,
"In my 7 hours of playing the game, I must have spent under 10 minutes trying to use parkour. It just doesn’t work."
As someone who primarily plays the light class, I disagree.
Each level has a lot of hidden routes that are great for taking your enemies by surprise. The pathways take time to figure out, but they're there. You just have to pay attention for hints in the levels.
However, SM...
