message: This article is essentially just a list of features (characters, levels, weapons) in the game. These lists are more appropriate on Wikibooks. --Nick RTalk 10:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "SBP90 machinegun, A P90, from farscape, but with a scope."
I changed farscape (which almost never had human weapons) to stargate (in which the p90 is often use by the main team), why does everyone get the shows mixed up?Joeyjojo
Unless I'm mistaken, the P90 is a real firearm. I'd have to look it up though.--Vince Skrapits 01:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "Though many enjoy it, some criticized the game for being too much like GoldenEye 007." This is POV and not trivia in any way, shape, or form. I removed it. MafiaCapo 00:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Let's go through this one. The rotating chevrons on the Timegate, which resembles a Stargate, the way that symbols are put in in sequence (seen in the opening movie) to establish a portal, the kawhoosh effect seen in the main menu as a portal appears, the P90 being used, if a tad vamped up... Would this be worthy of mention in the article?
--Bobitha 21:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't that just the way every freaking portal ever has been depicted? If you can't cite it, that's going to be too much OR for my tastes.--SeizureDog 00:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, no, not really, and the Kawhoosh is the big one. Its a recurring motif in the Stargate universe, and its a depiction of the Stargate's power. I'm fairly sure that's relevant. As for the DHD like device to go to different times... I just thought it could be worthy of mention that the obvious similarities are overlooked in the article. And could you explain what you mean by OR? --Bobitha 17:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It's said that TS2 has a cheat mode, but Free Radical refuse to release the secret. Is this true, and has anyone discovered the cheat code? Kelvingreen 22:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I only ask because I can't think of any other situation in which a cheat mode was confirmed, but never released. Seems worth mentioning. Kelvingreen 13:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere in the article.Wi Account ki 16:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cheat Mode 

message: That section seems a little bland compared to the others.  Do you think we should keep it or at least re-organize it Wi Account ki 06:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you mean, maybe it should be renamed to additions instead of improvements.  I'm open to suggestions. Goldbringer 19:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Improvements over the original? 

message: I usually defer to other assessors as I have very little experience in rating articles, but I'll try to be as fair and helpful as possible here.
Good
*Lead is a good length
*References given
Needs Improvement
*The article has all the sections that are standard for a videogame article, but they need to be expanded upon. Although it is in list form, the Trivia section is longer than the Plot, Development, or Reception
*Needs more prose. The article tends to rely upon lists, which is fine for a Trivia section but shouldn't exist for the section titled 'Changes from the Original' (which itself may be better suited under the Gameplay section)
*Self-referential in parts. This is, of course, hard to point out specifically, but reading through the article I felt that I needed to do additional research on my own about TimeSplitters to understand the article; this should not be the case.
*Copy-Editing Needed. Carefully go through the article and ensure that every paragraph is cohesive, NPOV, and clear.
*More references needed; as it exists the article is quite short, but as you expand be sure to add your sources.
Take a look at The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask to see a Featured Article
Hope that helps. If you feel that it's unfair, go ahead and renominate the article and another CVG assessor can offer his/her thoughts.

replies: text: Thanks for assessing this. I did some of the things you mentioned. I expanded on some of the sections you mentioned. I got rid of the Changes over the Original section since its information can be found elsewhere in the article. To Crimsonfox, you're right, I should change that soon (not right now 'cause I don't feel like it).Wi Account ki 05:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  CVG Assessment 

message: *The lead is actually of appropriate length, something rare in video game articles. 
*Some things need to be changed, though. Remove the external link, and change the prose to fit a more encyclopaedic tone. An example of the current bad state is the last sentence: "but it is not known when".
*Plot is good, though uncited. Plot sections can be referenced by citing specific text from the game itself or the game manual. Length and prose are good enough.
*Gameplay starts out well-written, but gradually turns into the game guide information often seen in bad video game articles.
*Remove the list in Arcade.
*Remove the distinction between modes. These are not specific to the game and irrelevant - what a 'story' or 'arcade' mode is should not be explained here.
*The whole section has no citations. Look up some reviews of the game, and see what they write about the gameplay, then use them to reference the article.
*Gameplay needs copy-editing.
*Development is solid.
*Reception is too short - discuss what some specific reviewers have written if not enough reviews exist. Also discuss pre-game release reception (previews).
*Remove trivia.
*Remove fansites from external links.
Rating changed to Start (not enough references for B), Low.

if someone can prove it was released for the xbox 360 then revert my change, but as far as i know, the xbox version isnt even backwards compatible as of now, let alone is there an xbox 360 version...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.43.6 (talk) 21:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
