Gimpy Graphics, Fun Gameplay, Good Actors = OK Game
PROS
Using Cover - QoS uses the Call of Duty 4 engine, but unlike COD4, you can position your character behind cover and blindfire. This radically changes gameplay, allowing you to move very close to enemies without being killed. Your character can run and slide into cover as well, making you a hard-to-hit target. Nice!
Voice Acting – Activision went all the way and obtained the original actors for the voice overs, except for perhaps Eva Green. This retains the feel of the Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace movies.
Choose Your Weapon (Online) – Instead of giving you preselected guns as you earn credits (like COD4 or CODW@W), QoS allows you to pick which guns/perks to spend your credits on (like BFBC). My advice? Get the A4 Hutchison Shotgun, a Silencer, Increased Bullet Damage, a Flak Jacket, Proximity Mines and Double Proximity Mines immediately. You will level the competition.
CONS
Multiplayer Enemy Spawning – QoS has the WORST spawning in any online game I’ve played: COD4, CODW@W, Battlefield: Bad Company, you name it. Enemies will constantly spawn directly behind you, assassinating your character before you have a chance to react. It is very frustrating, particularly when playing Golden Gun Mode. Other times, your character will spawn directly in front of an enemy who has a blazing gun. Before you can fire, you are dead. I HATE the spawning of QoS.
Our team lost a game of Territory because the computer randomly chose to start spawning enemies inside our perimeter. We knocked out everyone, then suddenly enemies start appearing out of thin air behind us. It was pure BS. The spawning of enemies kills the replay value for me.
Gimpy Graphics – For a PS3 game, the graphics aren’t very good. MI-6 operatives look like dweebs with their kayak battle helmets.
Poor Server Support – I cannot count the number of dropped games I have been in. After playing through ¾ of a match, the words “Connection Interrupted” appear and that’s it; no more game, and no credit for all my kills. It seriously bugs. Activision and Treyarch just do not have sufficient support for all the QoS matches going on. You will spend a lot of time simply waiting to get into a match.
Limited Online Levels/Lame HUD Radar – The selection of multiplayer levels is limited, and some, such as The Spa or Chemical Plant, are very confusing. You spend half your time trying to figure out where the enemy is, especially in Golden Gun Mode, only to have someone spawn behind you and blow you away. You cannot pause the game and see a larger map for the whole level; you can only use the dinky HUD radar, which is small and not very helpful.
Overall, Quantum of Solace is an OK FPS, but it fails to be great. It is fun, but no challenge to the Call of Duty series.Vollständige Rezension lesen
