Misleading Packaging!! [Posted on 2004-07-11]
There are no single player missions- just some lame maps you choose and fight weak AI robots. The multi player is OK but I was pissed about the fact that the box promises single player missiins and there are none. No clear beginning or end.

Dont waste your money!!

Battlefield1942/Terminator Style [Posted on 2004-07-15]
Terminator 3: War of the Machines is great fun. Everyone saying this game sucks because of it's AI and it's bad single-player are wrong. It is just like Battlefield 1942. Is there a campaign in 1942? No. Just the MP maps and you playing weak AI. Same as in Terminator 3: War of the Machines. Choosing between Tech-Com and Skynet is really cool (Just like in 1942). Being the Terminators frying the Humans is a great way to let of some steam. Or being the Tech-Com Fighters and roasting metal. Either way. And you guys saying War of the Machines AI is weak, just look at 1942. I've seen Americans and Germans two feet away looking right at eachother and they stood there, so i wacked em both. I can get around the AI faults and the 12 SP maps. The question is can you?

What a waste [Posted on 2004-08-19]
For all of you who have given this game such good reviews... shame on you. Come on, this is unfit for freeware.

This game is a multiplayer slugfest ONLY, and a mediocre one at that. Very limited weapon selection, and no chance to use any type of tactics or strategy. Limited types of opponents, and no real challenge to any of them.

There is absolutely no single player here. The maps have a few nice touches, but there's really not much to speak of. After a quick look around, you've seen it all. Maps are far too large, resulting in a lot of time wasted running to the action (not as annoying on multiplayer with many many opponents). Computer AI is an absolute joke, worse than any game I've seen in years. I bought it and tossed it in the trash within two hours. Don't let any obsessive fans talk you into this one, it's total garbage.

Cheap merchandising trick [Posted on 2005-12-30]
I notice that this game has now been reduced to $5; that is probably all its worth. However if you have a copy of Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Half Life Counterstrike or any other game with online team play then you've already got a better game so dont bother!

It all sounded great, marketed off the back of the extemely good Terminator 3 film I was expecting much. The reality was much worse when I found out it was a poor man's Unreal Tournament. Sure there are terminators and humans and there is variety of "domination" style scenarios (capture most of the areas for longest to win). The sniper rifle is most definitely the weapon of choice and can take down a terminator with one head shot - nice. But its so been done, and done better. I did play through all the scenarios and satisfied myself I could do it and then I uninstalled it and put it away for ever :o(.

This is why Terminator spinoffs are few and far between! [Posted on 2006-05-13]
I love terminator, the movies are outstanding! In fact T3 saved my summer of 2003 from being a major sci-fi disappointment with those horrible sequels to the Matrix(which was a good idea butchered)

However I have found almost every single game based on it, except for the old DOS ones that you cant get anymore(SKYnet and other bethesda titles) I have rarely seen a game that does justice to what inspired it....the movies.

In the summer of 03 I heard alot of big hype all over the web about this game and alot of excitement over it. Then in the fall when the demo hit the market the game crashed.

I was one of the first to download the demo, and was entertained by the multiplayer mode, but was later disappointed by the apparent lack of a single player story line.MAJOR DISSAPOINTMENT!

I would love to see a title on the PC that does the Terminator series justice..... It could be an outstanding game if someone with the talent would put time and effort into it.

I found the demo to be very glichy and lagged on a brodband connection.

I then decided that I would buy it, but then I noticed the crashing price tag and it being pulled rapidly off the shelves in all major stores. THATS A HINT!

within the first year a $50 game crashed to $14.00. It has also been pulled of the shelves since I can only find it online.

I guess its something I will have to stay away from Im disappointed to say since T3 was great.
