Do not take cover behind wooden fences in this one 
Ming
Canāt wait to get this on the Xbox. After disappointment with Mass Effect 2, I feel the need to blow stuff up.
Installing as I type, will be good to compare with CODMWII
Unreleased on my Steam Chris but anyway itās bad luck to do anything before a meet
Ming
Major connection issues, either āfailed to connect to EA onlineā or āā¦check network settings and retryā
Seems to be a BIG issue (and not a magazine for the homeless) over on the EA forum.
So far I connected to one game since last posting.
nb, make sure you have the latest gf drivers gents
Ah
Available: 5 March 2010
This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours

Succumbed to peer(?) pressure on this oneā¦
Nametag is Flashheart_602
Well, played it for a couple of days and have to say what a complete waste of money.
Terrible game play with (in my opinion) very poor choice of game type.
I liked the old BF2 and add ons (European theatre etc) but this is just piss poor.
My 10yr old lad finished the single player in a little over 4 hours so even that is weak.
Looks good as a coffee cup mat though
Iām loving it this destructible thing is brilliant you can hardly see what youāre doing for dust and smoke
Iāve played a little singleplayer and that was good with very movielike characters and great character animations, excellent motion-capture stuff. Awesome cutscenes (rendering I mean, where the wide-wide-screen thing kicks in)
Online for a bit and the old BF1942 feeling is coming back, wide open spaces for mounting attacks and not too many chokepoints
Weāre running an EAF ground forces outfit Flash but on a casual basis, European Ground Forces EGF. Iām EGF_Ming in there and currently going for Private First Class
Ming
Iām trying offline campain is niceā¦ what is wrong for MP?
Hit Multiplayer/Play Now, do not use the server finder - wait - wait - Cancel way
This way you get into a game with no waiting around, you canāt choose the mission this way but they are all good
I was in a tank and the driverās HDR view very bright, wonderful looking out from the dark
Ming
EA servers donāt seem to be able to cope, also there are disconnect and punkbuster issues, add to that random CTDās, servers showing full when there are only 3 people in them, system locks and other things.
Apart from that it seems to be running wellā¦
Only had a few shots so far, I need to kick the kid off, heās hooked with online play. Seems to have all the same and better from BF1942, but heās playing with a team which makes all the difference.
Thereās something pleasing and different looking about the graphics, canāt quite put my finger on it. Maybe itās the over saturation or the slightly gamey look, but it seems to work as a gamerās game for sure.
Good - superb graphics - awesome sounds (firing weapon indoors/outdoors), and explosions (wow). Plus destructible scenery! Not only cool looking but allows mouseholing/breaching and all the real life urban combat puzzles that can be solved with high explosivesā¦
(Sniper in the church tower holding up advance - no problem drop mortars on him:D).
Bad - takes FOREVER to find update servers. Still havenāt got the browser to filter properly yet - it took too long. Sound on cut-scenes is odd with the dialoue v v faint - a shame when the squad jokes are part of the atmosphere. Plus graphics - the washed out/destaturated look is very Generation Kill, but makes it bloody hard to see anything - ātrying to shoot a white bad guy on a white background, with white muzzle flashā - its like a black and white film at timesā¦ Laurel and Hardy play MW2ā¦
odd, that, the colours and detail are sharp as anything on the Xbox and TV. All your other complaints too, Flash, are non existant on this platform.
Maybe this one was designed more for the couch gamers, than the mouse and keyboarders.
Crowded servers of course early doors but itās a blast in there
Whoās blowing that horn when your teamās going to lose soon, itās like Pavlov
Quite story-like (in mp) in places, that big dam map where if you lose they blow the dam in a trailing cutscene- nice touches, still team-based and realistic cover now I notice (boulders,trees, breathe in and hold it)
Unlocks and medals drop into the GUI online, good stats screens, sterling stuff, feels like youāre being looked after by the desks at HQ. No idea of how anything works yet but itās a complex sim no rush
Ming
Best map that I have managed to get into at the mo is Panama (Squad Rush), like the destruction level, hate the sound, cannot ātoneā it down as of yet.
The filter for MP is very weak as well, hope that will change
