Black Hawk Down....when?
 

Ok, I have Black Hawk Down pre-ordered at GameRush. I'm just wondering when the game is availabe? At GameRush, it said 5/18/05...other sites say next month.

Just curious....seems like the game could be fun on LIVE

I have it pre-ordered at GR as well, but the game got pushed back untill the middle of next month I think.

That's what I thought....I was just looking on the board they write stuff on, and it said it was COMING SOON 5/18/05

Looks like it did get pushed. I usually check gamefly.com because they always seem to have the most up to date release times.

They are showing the Xbox version now as TBD and the PS2 version as 6-16-05. after watching the behind the scenes stuff on an Xbox demo disc, I am looking forward to this titles as well.

Is anybody else worried that this game might suck??? The official release date is now 7-5-05. It was supposed to be out in April. Maybe they are having problems with the multiplayer. I've got 3 copies preordered from Gamerush so I am keeping my fingers crossed....

What? It got delayed again? That sucks.

edit: Wait where did you see that it got pushed back?

I thought it was 6/21/05? OH well....I'm sure the 50+ LIVE aspect of the game is causing some difficulties.

Looks like its getting pushed back again. Gamespot has it at a 7/19 release. I was really hoping to get it by the end of this month.

At this point who knows. I know a couple of months ago there was allot hype and hopes for this game. Then that dreade word "Delayed" appeared. I just a seach and theres not much even from Novalogic's site. Their last news post.."Hot"...dated early May has street release date of July 5th.

Now I'm not one to talk on this since it's been a long time being online period but if ever a game screems for online play this is it. Just the thought of having 20-25 fellow DVD gamers all at once and on the same side at that would be amazing. We'll just have to wait and see.

It was announced today it's gone 'Gold'.

Yeah....so, is the release date the 19th or the 26th? I've seen both? I have it pre-ordered at GameRush (not sure how much time I'll have to play it...between GTA:SA, NCAA 06 and others)

Gamespot is saying it releases on July 27. If anyone sees early reviews please post em. I am still looking forward to this game.

bump...comes out NEXT week I believe.

Ok, release date tomorrow...any new news on it yet? I have it on pre-order at GameRush, so I guess I'll find out. Hopefully LIVE play is good.

Over at www.teamxbox.com they have a review up for it. They gave it a (8.0). Still no new movies. Not much else on the review front either. This has been one mysterious game so far.

That is why I'm worried....a bit under the radar...oh well, no big deal...I don't like it, I trade it in for the price I pre-ordered it for :)

Is this the same Blawk Hawk Dawn I've had for PC for a few years? Does this come with the Team Sabre add on pack? Or is it just the Somalia missions?

I think it's the same game...not sure how much has changed. MY GameRush did not have it yesterday, but hopefully today. REviews seemed positive at teamxbox.com

The PS2 version got 4/10 in Edge but I gather the Xbox version is being developed by a different group.

Name a good FPS on PS2 though. Xbox should handle it better. Let's hope.

Just picked mine up from Gamerush today. Haven't goteen to play it yet as my power was off most of the day. Stupid electric company.

RVP,

If you have not opened the game yet, don't open it. Return it to Gamerush asap. The gameplay is a joke and the graphics are even worse. It looks like a really bad dated pc game. It takes about 2 minutes for each map to load on xbox live. You can't even tell where the enemies are at because the graphics sucks. Avoid this game at all costs. I rented it at Ballsbuster using my free coupon and it still feels like i got ripped off.

Are you serious? I already opened it so I can't return it. i still haven't gotten a chance to play it yet though. Someone please tell me that this game is good.

My brother likes it, he's a military buff. He likes it better than the latest MOH. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. Anyhoo, if you don't like it you can trade it in at Gamerush for about $35.

I agree with this to some point...we just rented it from Blockbuster yesterday and did a couple of missions. We are playing on a 24" TV and due to the graphics being as they are, it's really hard to see enemies at times. Some are off in the distance and are just small dots that you can barely make out. You do have binoculars but by the time you take them out, find someone, you get blindsided by a shot from elesewhere. My appeal on getting this game was that it was a military game that also offered split-screen mission play for two players. In that regards its good, but again, the graphics makes it really hard to distinguish enemies from bystanders and other objects. In split-screen its even worse since your screen becomes 1/2 of the original size.

I picked up the game yesterday. It's an average game at best. I had it at GameRush also. The graphics are decent (but I'm playing on a 55" screen). I played two single player missions, they were ok...nothing great.

LIVE play was ok at best too. The game kept saying "THIS GAME IS NO LONGER IN SESSION" but it was and it kept going. I also got disconnected once, it said my network cable was unplugged. Not sure if that was a BHD problem or my wireless router (I have it hardwired though)

So, overall...the game is average....there wasn't really much lag in BIG battles....but that annoying message I kept getting sucked....and it wasn't just me.

The live play is pretty fun once you actually conect to a game. It usually takes me 5-10 tries to get connected to a game without getting the error message. The battlefield is pretty chaotic though. Enemies are hard to spot and seem to come from nowhere on the big maps.

Deathmatch is WORTHLESS in this game...avoid at all costs. Team Deathmatch is a bit better. Some of the objective games are a bit better.

I'm not sure if people are playing the campaign mode but am I the only one who thought it went from trivial to frigging impossible. Once the "real" BHD mission began I can barely turn a corner w/o getting sniped from unknown locations. Each mission now almost takes as long as all the missions leading up to "Irene" put together -ohbfrank-

I had to trade in this game. The sigle player missions are poorly designed, if you go the wrong way in some missions you automatically fail.
Some as you said are just inssanely confusing and difficult. One of the missions toward the end I was supposed to run along and protect a convoy, I don't think I ever got more than 30 seconds in before the convoy was destroyed by .50cal and rpg fire.

What a shame since this seem to have allot of promise at the start. I had a bad feeling when it was delayed for a long time while not much was said of how the game was coming along. I'm going to start paying more attention to what's up with games on the 360 since I'm sold on it.
