"But, bethesda didn't have anything to do with Rogue Warrior."

Of course they did. Rogue Warrior was announce way back in 07' as a joint effort between Zombie Studios and Bethesda Softworks, billed a a robust tactical shooter. Originally set in near modern day North Korea and focused on Richard Marcinko and his SEAL team trying to neutralize North Korea's nuclear launch capabilities. It also offered 4 player offline co-op and 24 player competitive online play with randomly generated maps built around the Unreal Engine.

The game then resurfaced in early 09' totally revamped as Bethsoft scrapped the original third person shooter game play, co-op, and random mulitplayer maps. This time focusing on Marcinko's personality, kill moves, the fact that Mickey Rourke was in the game, and other "cool shit" that Bethsoft is know for.

Since the games December 1st release date, the game has failed to score above a 3 from numerous gaming sites. I personally have been getting a kick outta the Bethsoft fanboy's trying to say Bethesda just released it, but as I noted above, they had a lot of say in the games development.

I played this on the 360, and boy was it a nightmare. Constant freezing, PS2 level visuals, constant swearing, short (like as in 2 hour's short), and... fuck it, you get the point. You can tell Bethsoft had a good deal of input in this game honestly. It's not even worth a rental, as the single player mode is beaten in under 2 hours, and forget about online play. You have two online modes, Death match, and Team Death match. Doesn't sound like much of a deal does it?

In closing I would also like to say the dialog is beyond retarded. I'll summarize if for you. Fuck fuck fuck fuck god damn fucking shit fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. I wish I was kidding but the level of swearing is childish. I've never read one of Mr. Marcinko's books, but even hardcore fans of his, please stay the hell away from this game at all cost!
