Sad,
They had all the chance in the world, to make a good game, but didn't put much effort into it.
Did they even play it through before making the game available?
Yes, ALL of the flight controls are so catastrophically bad...
The Scorpion should have vertical aiming.
The Dragon should have a more meaningful mission, instead of being used as a measly transport in one single stretch of map and also vertical aiming. The helicopters could have a 1st person view option.
The Ikran is just a pain to ride and should have a option of equipping a bow.
Horses are so damn slow and turns like ***, also should have a bow.
The AMP suit is too weak and has a very weak gun, for a .50 cal, A FIFTY CAL. It's easier to just walk. Also, remember, how Quarich jumped off the falling Dragon, his suit didn't get a scratch, but in the game, you cant even jump off a log without getting damage. ALSO, how the hell can viperwolves hurt the AMP suit?
The riverboat has mounted guns, but they can't be used?
Sometimes big animals like the Thanator and Titanothere freeze forever for no apparent reason...
The pathfinding sucks, creatures and people just walk into walls and trees sometimes and get stuck.
The buggy can be drove off a ultra high cliff with almost no damage!?
Let's not forget the Swan, because it's too damn weak and can't aim right in front of the turret, making you climb out every time a viperwolf or similar comes too close and starts attacking.
This game could have been SO much better, if the developers had put a little more effort into it. No wonder they didn't get much profit.
Judging from the amount of ubisoft's feedback here, it seems they really don't care what people have to say about it anymore, which is very sad. And if they are indeed doing something about these issues, they have a ****ty way of showing it.
edit:
Dang, I got stuck while playing the Na'vi side at the "Sacred ground" quest, I had to kill 32 enemies, but only 31 came... I explored the area around it, but nothing, the game just waits.
edit2: OK that cleared out after a while, the damn viperwolves were hiding passively.

the Na'vi are over powered and the amp suits are just too weak i mean c'mon they are mechs. and the mechs also need a melee move very badly. one Huge thing this game needs is Bots for MP. its boring as can be when no body is online. having bots to fill the gaps would be nice. and some sort of ranking system where you can rank up through military ranks would be very cool.
The Na'vi are only good in short range unless they're an expert with the bow which isn't that accurate if the opponent is moving. If your complaining about being overpowered, then change your special to 'Rage.' AMP suits should NOT have a melee weapon. RDA are specifically LONG-RANGED unless using a shot gun and an AMP-suit with a knife would be so cheap but more slightly more realistic. Bots also shouldn't exist. I've played games where bots over-power the game in which there are whole rooms filled with only bots which makes the game very boring. Ranking systems would ROCK and bring many more fans to the game making you Ubisoft workers some extra $ =D I also agree w/ the 4-player campaign but it would have to have many times the enemies to equal out the cheapness of the extra players. Good points Zendrein!
maybe 4 player co-op where up to 4 human players could do the campaign together would be very nice. the main thing i would like to see are Bots/AI for MP. i am just blown away that all the talk from ubi and the Devs about this game and it does not even have bots in MP.

Dude your wrong. Flight controls should be hard because your a SIGNAL SPECIALIST not a pilot or Ikran rider. Agreed about the dragon and the Taruk. It's a 3rd person game so no 1st person view on the Scorpian. How would you see the rudders to make sure you don't run into stuff? Try holding RT for horses unless you figured that out already.I agree that banshees and horses should have bows and be on MP. I think they were trying to even out the AMP suit and not make it too powerful which causes a lot of complaints. I think it's a good thing. I'm pretty sure the viperwolves don't even do damage to the swan so get over it.

READ THIS. I'VE READ THROUGH MANY POSTS TO FORM THIS ONE
Na'vi should have horses in MP. There should be really big maps that include banshees, horses, cars, and scorpions for CTF. Horses and banshees should include the bow so that they're not entirely useless. Also a ranking system would really improve the game. The defense and offence specials shouldn't have such a drastic effect on the character. I would like to see some roaming animals in MP too to make it more interesting for the gamers to have to dodge animals that are charging or viperwolves. Even those weird deer things would be nice. A big problem is you shouldn't have to roll or do the flippey thing to go faster. I think that running should be faster than either because when I picture Na'vi, I don't picture them bouncing and doing flips constantly. Those moves should be purely for dodging reasons. A lot of people think that CPUs would be a good idea but I disagree. I think they would cause a lot of chaos because there would be servers just filled with CPUs a lot of the time. Na'vi's faces SHOULDN'T look all the same. At least fix that for the sequal with maybe three different head styles.
I understand you are upset, but PC's being 'what they are' there are so many different configurations, that sometimes things just do not work out of the box, but as you can see for yourself, many people do have the game running fine..Originally posted by Melius:

There is no call to rant and swear - please remember where you are and the rules.
You should always remember to check the specifications needed to run any game, and even if you think it should be ok, make sure any drivers are upto date.
Avatar does require the printed spec, since it is using some advanced features.
Usualy when ubisoft pops up whis a game i take quality as granted.
But this game makes me fell scamed.I bouth this game....for what? To see an amp suit damaged by viperwolfs?Wtf? Those little creatures can bite trou solid stell? They don`t look like xenomorphs from "alien"(even thou "Ripley" is present ).Also the amp suit`s rifle has a bayonette just for the looks.That massive gun is way too weak for its size,a 50 caliber rifle shoud kill a na`vi whis 1 or 2 hits.The control of all vehicles sucks hard,especialy the flying units.Better walk unless the game forces you to take a vehicle.
When it comes to caracter aiming the game goes down the drain again.The crosshair is way to big, i find it very hard to aim whis it.A laser aim whud had been way better then the dammed crosshair.ALso i think that it does not matter where you hit your target.I hitted a na`vi right in the head from close range whis shoutgun whis the same effect as a hit in the chest.
And where is my blody sniper rifle ? I didn`t finish whis rda but it seems there is no spiner rifle in the game. Wow some strike force whis no snipers.
In multiplayer it took me some time to find a playable map, and afterwards it took me a lot of fire power to bring down one stranded na`vi bloked in some textures.
Overall the game realy disapointed me.First crap
game i played from ubisoft.You guys rly made me to take in consideration the alternative of torrents to avoid future scams of this type.
