Cheap merchandising trick

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(.

Patch has been released.

Very good but is a little lost with story and such. it would be better if we are able to see what arnold really sees. but instead we see wut a human sees which is one of the only let downs. Worth buying in you like Halo but Halo is better.

One of the Best Idea's of All Time

Imagine Battlefield 1942/Wolfenstien (a fine combo I might say) Terminator style. Plus you play as Arnie, I downloaded the demo and it was great you can play in different maps that are from Dawn of Fate and you can seriously kick ass as a machine or as a marine. It is seriously tyte! If you like good first person shooter games get this game because it is seriously pimpin! I love it, I can't wait for it to come out for PS2!!!

Fun PC game, lot's o'problems

This game is super fun, but freezes to much.It's a game where you pick a level, so it doesn't have an end.One time,it restarted my computer. it's best for multiplayer, otherwise it'll be totally boring in less than a week.In the game, you choose to join skynet or tech-com. pick from over 9 character's including the original terminator. This game is fun, but not worth buying.

Terminator's back again (mabye)

This game (multiplayer) is excellent. For all you dial-up people it is smooth playing. This game would get a 5-star rating, but the single player is missing. The box says there are single player "missions." All I see is a bunch of multiplayer maps with you playing the A.I. I think they should make a patch fixing this (I know it would take a while.) I would buy the game only if you are a multiplayer game lover. If you buy this hoping for single player madness, get something else.

Misleading Packaging!!

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!!

What a waste

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.

Where's the single player experience?

First of all, the detail and feeling of the maps are great. There are a wide variety of scenarios to choose from and the addition of vehicles was a nice touch. This game rocks in multiplayer if you can find anyone online because of the ability to drive and shoot at the same time.
The major drawback of this game is the lack of single player. I didn't pay $30 to play a simple "capture and hold" scenario with enemy bots, and would not have bought the game if I had known that was what i was getting. For as much time as the developers put in to develop the maps and characters, why didnt they take more time and at least link up the maps similar to Quake 3, or at least give some sort of reward for holding the points the longest other than after the 20 minute time limit runs out telling me i had more frags than anyone.
I wouldnt recommend this game if you have a poor internet connection of if you mainly want it for single player. Unless if you have a fast connection or attend a lot of lan parties, save your money for something else.

Battlefield1942/Terminator Style

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?
