*DAMN R6 Forum

Sorry if this has been already posted.

I just went to the Aspyr site to check the status on COD and to my surprise, I noticed they are also going to port BHD, does anyone know if this game is worth getting?  Any PC'ers plz respond, give us yer 2 cents.  You can get more info at the aspyr webiste here. (http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/bhd/)

They announnced BHD at the same time as COD. Personally, I've never gotten a chance to play BHD, from what I hear, it's got a crowd of people who love the game, and a lot of people who think it's tedious and lame. Not much in the way of middle ground.

I just noticed that CoD got postponed another month :(

It was due to ship in april and now its may...

I also heard a lot of pc ppl like it and other just don't, but that's the same with AA. We'll just have to see how the port will succeed. And what the beta testers think. Its still in alpha state.

Do you guys know if BHD is supposed to be FPS or 3rdPS game?

Black Hawk Down sucks...you're better off playing SF CSAR or SF Recon on AA.

just a quick question, why in gods name does cod require a dvd player? I mean, not that its a problem, but it just seems odd to me.

It's a fps. Played it on a PC, an ok game in my oppinion.

Maybe the game is on a DVD disc, would fit more data and be harder to pirate.

 Quite simple, using a DVD is a more effective means of storing large objects than is a CD. Rather than having to use 4 install CDs for COD, it can be condenced into a singel DVD.  

I think this game is a beaut, I played a bit on PC, and the sniping in it is very immersive. I could play this for hours on end.

Meh its ok i think it's a very interactive game, but i've only played it at comp USA for like 5 mins.

OK, I just called my local mac reseller store to see if they had BHD in stock and the guy on the phone (east indian accent btw) says to me, "thats not available for mac only PC", I was like dude, "yes it is, its on your website" and he checks and then says "no dont have it", and I was like "really? cuz yer website says it does" and not too long ago I rechecked their site and changed it to arrive now in 10 days. What morons  >:(

Anyway, is anyone getting this game?  I am debating whether to spend the $ or not, simply b/c some have said its not a good game and others said great things about it and some other contend that its a so-so game.  WHICH IS IT?  :)

lol that guy on the end of the phone was about as uninformed as you can get lol.

Ive heard rather good things about it actually, there is a indepth review at insidemacgames (http://www.insidemacgames.com) u might want a browse though.

Wouldn't mind a run on a demo of it, but ive heard no news of any demo in the works

For a lil inside info about BHD read on. BHD is alot like RvS except with real new age weps. If you have any questions about BHD hop on GR and ask me. I beta tested and the testing is over so i can talk about it. See yall around.

i think BHD kicks ass, it's a shame my weak pc can't run it.

Run it on yer mac  ;D

Rebel is CD key required like CoD?

about why it needs a dvd player is becuase games nowadays are all dvd discs, look at your playstation then notice it has a dvd emblem, that emblem doesnt mean it has a movie on it it means the game disc is comprimised as a DVD-R  instead of a CD-R

Btw Aspyr have just Started shipping Battlefield1942 :D

For the longest time, Aspyr had on their Project Status section of their site that BHD would be released b4 BF1942 was, and now its the opposite.  Is this a good thing or bad thing for BHD?

Nope Nomad. It's the fact that Aspyr is working with NovaLogic to bring you Black Hawk Down. They've never worked with them before, so they don't really know each others work curve and such. I'm sure it'll be a great game, if you meet the requirements.

1.25 GHz
2 GB RAM
Radeon 9600 ATI 64 mb

iz ok?  I mean, i know the syst req for BHD, but do u think I can crank the graphic at max and still be able to play at peak performance?

Ran pretty will on my friends PC, so depending on how well the port is done, I think you'll be ok. Maybe wait on some reports first.

BHD is gonna be a good game, but we get a lot of those that come and go. Why is it that this community as a whole (GR) has always been focused on Tom Clancy games as FPS and those AOE games for the other game-a-ma-bob. Interesting... To the library!
