I might give it one more go. Not much to do in the demo really.

I've beaten the level 10 times. There are a shit load of upgrades and I can fly through the level now because of how powerful my dude is.

I'm definitely down to run it some more today. I'd suggest anyone with the demo keep playing to use the unlocks. My dude is a powerhouse now.

Will it have an online pass? I'd gamefly it, for the co-op.

No idea. It's an EA game, so I bet it will.

I would bet dollars to donuts (get it, since I'm a cop? Ha!) that it will.

NO ONLINE PASS

Syndicate will not use the controversial Online Pass, EA has confirmed.

EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon told Eurogamer the decision was made in an effort to encourage all players to play the shooter, which includes a co-op component.

"We want as little resistance or barriers to entry as possible," Gamon said. "The co-op is equal billing in this. We wanted everyone who owns a copy of the game to have access to the entire product."

EA's policy is to include Online Pass in all its games, but this does not apply to EA Partners games.

Last year EA Partners published Portal 2, made by Valve, and Crysis 2, made by Crytek, and neither included Online Pass. But there are differences between these two games and Syndicate, Gamon said, which makes the decision not to include Online Pass all the more surprising.

While Swedish developer Starbreeze is independent, and EA Partners managed the development of the game, Syndicate is an EA-owned IP and the game is published by EA, Gamon said.

"Under normal circumstances it would have had an online pass, but because it didn't have competitive multiplayer and because we wanted as many people as possible to be playing co-op, we got away with it," Gamon explained.

"Maybe another reason for not having the Online Pass is we were confident in the scope of the online game.

"There are nine maps. It's hard to say, but just to play through the maps once on normal is a good six, seven hours. To progress your character and upgrade a few weapons is a heap of content. That and the single-player campaign means hopefully we won't see much in the way of early second hand sales and rentals."

Very surprised. Does this mean EA thinks it won't sell well otherwise? I bet so.

It is a new IP (kind of) I would say most young gamers dont know this is from a previous game. Why put a pass on it? Get the game into as many hands as possible (new or used). I have a feeling the online is where the game will shine. If it does well then then can make a sequel and then have an online pass.

Reached the highest level available in the demo (10). TONS of cool shit to unlock. My dude is basically a super soldier now.

I just downloaded the demo on PS3 sine I saw a bunch of other people playing it, haven't gotten to play it yet though.

 

[wingsfan77]

That's 15 minutes after I get out of class. Not happening.

:kanyesmh:

Run, Forrest!

I played through the demo one more time, but this time on PS3. I played with Pad and Jay. I wrecked shit like Brnt did when he, JMS and I played on 360. I had over 20K points while Pad and Jay had like 12K.

The graphics look much better on the 360 version. Everything looks, brighter and sharper on the 360 version. It's quite noticeable at least on my end.

 

[BrntO4Life]

So I'm still playing this. I've almost fully upgraded every weapon I use. This game is fun as shit.

How in the fuck can you play that boring map over and over?

It's fun as shit. I like seeing how fast I can fly through it.

Plus, the weapon and ability upgrades are pretty sweet.

BF3 - Metro - Rush.

Like banging your head against a wall for hours but it's your favorite wall and you're numb to it now.

Just feel glad competitive MP isn't going to fuck this game up.

No way Metro is as bland as that Syndicate map.
