environment is in the deserts of Somalia there is not allot of detail to be created anyhow The game uses 16 bit graphics also so the colors are some what limited to what detail is shown Sound and Music The music fits the area and the story perfectly Soldiers talked about Mogadishu as being very worn down and bullet ridden except for the mosks which were sacred The music is that of Islamic chanting The sounds are realistic in the since that people yelling or shells being fired increases in intensity depending on the distance The artillery sounds are real in since I have fired allot of different rifles and small arm weapons and the developers have done a good job in replacing this Special Features Cheat Codes 91d428aa More Health God Mode 43b24753 Invisibility No Target Mode fc1ef2ed Max out Ammo All Ammo Different platforms require different codes Program for creating maps and missions mission editor no freaking directions ARG Manual 15 page install manual I throw mine out Bugs The original version I purchased had some bugs that were annoying and affected game play 1 Mobs enemy moved across the game area in a sweeping motion with multiple shadows very annoying since you couldn t kill them or at least it was very rare unless using a grenade Below is an example red dots represent one mob moving diagonal from left to right and down towards green dot which is the player Bugs You can falling off the end of the world more common with poor map and terrain design not experienced in the mission part of the game Game vehicles go through buildings and terrain In multiplayer action those with high latency get owned easily The Good the Bad and the Ugly Fun Dependant on the persons character Love for military hardware Avid gun owner Reserve police officer Good guy Bad guy mentality Not interested in allot over exaggerated graphical art ability to create maps and missions very basic but has a real life story line work as a team or work alone Big Maps with several forms of transportation The Good the Bad and the Ugly Map creation has no documentation No popular voice chat used Missions are limited to 16 People get banned for cheating Multiplayer that use the game with in its abilities Expansion packs don t have allot of different content Music though fitting can be depressing after several hours of game play No latency equalizer The Good the Bad and the Ugly Game score sheet Unreal Tournament GOTY edition CALL to Duty Battlefield 2142 BlackHawk Down Game based in reality UT fail Call to Duty pass sort of Battlefield 2142 fail BlackHawk Down
