play time

Ok, I just went through the game in 4.5 hours. I have friends who zoomed through in four hours. This is moving at a normal pace, not actually trying to get through the game quickly. I was rather disappointed with the short game time. I went back through and found most of the geo-moddable areas, but that only increased the completion time to 5.5 hours.

I am just curious, did anyone else find this "quality" in the single player game?

I think thats been a common complaint with a number of people. I dare you to try a harder difficulty level and do it in the same time. I hear the Mercs are brutes to get past....especially the Rail Driver toting ones

Try playing through with just the baton. Or get the extreme mod and have fun blowing big azz holes in the levels.

It took me much longer to get through the game first time. Then again, I was playing on Impossible.

I know that increasing the difficulty will increase play time a bit, and I don't think I am good enough to beat it on impossible. However, I think my main complaint, which I have clouded in the first post, was that the actual game, the story line, the levels, there just wasn't enough of it. It's like a short story written hurriedly. Not enough developement or info, and not enough variety in levels. I suppose it is all preference though. I honestly can't name a game that is too much better with atmosphere, except maybe RtCW.

That was everyones complaint. A game 7 or 8 hours long on a console is good. 7 or 8 hours on a pc is bad. Thankfully there was multiplayer, but sadly that turned out to be short lived as well.

Yeah, I breezed through it real quick my first time (happens to all guys )
Then Impossible took a lil bit longer, still ez.
Atm I'm playing it on and off with the Hive 1.2 mod on impossible, much harder now

I found it pretty short too. Even with my shortened console attention span
