I was in the Beta Test for Line of Contact too, I wish I played a bit more of it but what I did I thought is was pretty good, you can customize you're mech's color and add you're oWn insignia as well which is cool... I made a Jon Talbain one that looked really cool :D
I will definately pick this up when it comes out, though I still suck badly at it :p
I had the "privilege" of working on a guide for the original SB, so I got my fill of single player mayhem. In fact, the only thing I want from an SB sequel is multiplayer. LoC seems to fit the bill nicely. Now all I need is $300 to blow on everything.
Any of you beta guys know if the comm switches on the controller actually let you speak on different channels on Live? That would be pretty sweet.
There should always be an offline mode to accompany the online one.Quote:

There is... in the original game.
Plenty of PC games have come out with singleplayer modes that weren't worth a damn. Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, CounterStrike, etc. It didn't make the games any worse.
Stop complaining.
But we already know that the single player mode WOULD be worth a damn. That's why I'm pissed.Quote:

Well since you need the controller to play this and to get the controller you have to buy the original game with it then it is not all online play... but it would've been nice to see a few extra offline missions included with Line of Contact though, it would be cool if you could download new offline missions but you would still need a XBOX Live account for that... :)
I do want to make it clear that I'm much more excited about the online play than more offline stuff, but I'm just pissed that Capcom neglected the offline modes.
So is LoC a full campaign you play with a set team (go through missions together), or is it more deathmatch style, or what?
I just remembered that my b-day is coming up. Maybe I can get Live and smoke you bitches earlier than I thought...
GunGriffon 1 and 2 are better, but Blaze isn't all that bad.Quote:

too rich for my blood.
Anyone want to sell a used copy/controller?
