I think you unlock it after the third mission from the weapon dealer. Once you unlock it I think it costs somethings like 10diamonds or 20, I aint sure.

What do you put in the box below your user name and password where it says on-line key ? I am not able to hook up on-line for multiplayer so far.

I'm 30% through and thoroughly boredified. This game feels half-assed to me. It is way too repetitive. I spend 90% of my time getting to the fight and it's over in 5 minutes once I get there. It makes me want to stop where I am and beat S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky again. At least I'm not bored most of the time in Clear Sky.

I can confirm that the map mussles posted has a gold ak there. No idea if it doesn't jam or not. Tho I have shot a good 120+ rounds out of it and it still looks new.

LOL, I agree TOTALLY! I actually have this feeling with alot of Ubisoft's games! Some gimmicks are nice (POV healing, African landscape etc.) but i think we should just agree that S:SoC and S:CS are both in different leagues to FC2? while comparisons are inevitable, FC2 feels for a much younger market and is super console-ized.

Whats the go with the MP too?! -you can only join when a game is starting or something! Smells of consoles! And where are the vehicles in MP? -this greatly concerns me :-P

You haven't seen any vehicles in MP or joined during a match? I've done both many times, there are some servers where joining during a match is not allowed, but there is an option that the server creator can set for that.

And for vehicles, well everything that has been seen in SP I've played with in MP, be it a map that came with the game or a custom player created map. I do go for Player servers and not Ranked servers tho.

thats why, you cannot join into a running match in a ranked server, and whats the point of playing the player servs, your stats dont save or nothing.

dont get me wrong..i really couldnt care about lvls or anything, and i dont care much bout stats, but thats part of the fun, building up your kits n stuffs.

they need a MP patch rite away to fix these probs:

GUI/Lobby system
AR/SMG dmg needs increasing, right now, half a clip of AK at point blank doesnt want to drop a dude...maybe lag?
pistol ROF...right now its pathetic
a hardcore mode maybe?

dunno...

I've had great luck with pistol kills, the lobby could be improved with a buddy list and tracking like the free game Combat Arms. The ranked, unranked shit I could care less about...I like the unranked where you gotta work your way up personally, more of a challenge...especially half way in a round with a few LV4-8+ guys in there and ur level 1...you gotta play harder and smarter. For me it's more fun.

I do agree things could be improved, but I also think for what this game provides, people want it to be too much like other games, or expected it to be too much like other games they liked. Not saying there's some things they should've done like other games out there, but overall, it's great in my book.

Yeah I've just started getting them as well and I have a clean install of Windows Vista. TBH, these ATI Hot Fix drivers aren't really good. We need new ones and a patch from Ubisoft.

I am just waiting for COD5, but so far no problems...just not that fun, multiplayer is so so.

Should have spent the $50 on something else

AHHHHH great!

SO I just installed the 8.10 drivers and now when I load up the game all I get is a black screen! can still hear the sound and every now and then the screen flickers to see parts of the game play. Downloading the hot fix now but it's so slow and occasionally stops.

yay

the only problem I have SO FAR is when playing multiplayer is once in a while I can't hear my gun shoot, and if I do not stand RIGHT IN FRONT of someone in single player I can't hear them talk.

Overall I give it 8.5 and only because it looks so good.
