    Yes: the expansiveness allows for more creative enemy behavior -- which requires better AI to keep the action focused. Better AI is very demanding, resource wise. You see the problem, right? This is a case where bigger is, unfortunately, not better. The AI would have benefitted from having smaller arenas and more limited action, but I think you would have lost the epic scale. It's a trade-off.

    Haven't run into poor sensitivity with the buttons, but, as I mentioned, the mounted machine gun controls are not working very well for me, which is making those sections less fun than they should be. I do have big thumbs, but I also type pretty fast on the virtual keyboard, so perhaps I'm just well trained ;).

    I understand what you're saying bout the AI-and with that in mind, I'll cut gameloft some slack. Still they could have made a better effort.....

    Lol I have such fat thumbs each takes up like 1/5 of the screen :)

    Ok, I understand what you are saying there, and I respect your opinion. I guess the controls work for some people and they don't work so well for others. My post wasn't directed at people like you, I'm sure there are some people who didn't like the controls to begin with (like me) but then gave up on the game.

    You have played a decent way into the game, and therefore you opinion on the controls is completely justified. However there are people who don't even give the controls a chance and write stupid comments like "I deleted it after the first level because the controls suck. You suck gameloft, I'm giving it 1 star and I'm boycotting you, blah, blah, blah.......".

    Yes I can't wait to get this, but I gotta revise for a stupid maths test lol....
    GCSE tests suck.

    I hope that it is better than N.O.V.A online because that was awful and there were way too many hackers. MC: Sandstorm online is awesome when it doesn't play up. Hopefully you can create classes or something in a future update that would be very good.

    Hey guys, I'm going to try out mp right now... let's see how this goes.

    I actually have one big problem though. The game keeps freezing on me at different points, but usually in menus. I restart the game and it all works fine. I'll try restarting later, I don't feel like running blackra1n right now.

    And LBG, are you hosting or should I?

    EDIT: I just got the push notification saying that you wanted a game of Bros in Arms 2 with me a few minutes ago, but I've been out all day, and when I was home the router was acting weird, so it's probably a bit late.

    Nice game, Der Kleine and somerandomdude :)
    It was funny when me and my 2 teammates were huddled up under cover and someone lobbed a grenade at us, lol.

    I wish we could make private matches with just TA members.

    Ok... so I have some problems with the online as of now...

    First thing, I get into a game, and in big red letters across the screen it says "NO CONNECTIVITY 10" and just sat there, and then I got "Connection Lost" and back to the multiplayer menu. Second game, I'm playing and it says No Connectivity again, and everyone ends up suddenly leaving again, leaving me to just run around the level by myself.

    I really hope this isn't MC:S multiplayer all over again. I'll give it a restart later and try again.

    And lol LBG I didn't do anything. My stupid connection kept getting dropped and/or some other issue. Weird.

    lol, you joined quite late, but I did see you run around occasionally and your name stayed there until the end. Weird, maybe try restarting your router and iPhone and try again?

    Bazookas 4 Ever! :D
    I always run to the bazooka first. ;)
    This game is just soo much better than Nova and MC: Sandstorm for online play!
    Normandy is by far my favourite online map. :)
