hope it can live up to tribes, and planetside. Also I'm hoping it's stable and glitch free, and that they get the BF2 1.4 patch out ASAP, some of us are still loving this game, over a year playing.

Also as a mechwarrior fan, I am hoping the mechs are done justice, especially control wise. Can't wait to run around with a freind manning the other set of guns. and actually stepping on other players, if I can actually blow off another mechs legs, I'll put down money on that alone.

Aight here goes

The bad first. It still crashes, and can get quite laggy. but on a low low ping server, it's actually quite stable. around 50 seems to be the magic ping number. It could also use a little optimization, my freind that can play BF2 just fine, is having trouble with this, I'm doing fine though. The Pac vehicles, are more energy based weapons, and the problem with that at the moment is, the "muzzle flash" from the vehicles, is too much, so you can't lead properly, or see where your shots are trailing off, this will hopefully change ASAP. The Gun ship gunner posistion isn't the most effective, the Tv missle is extremely hard to control, making it close to useless, and this is comming from a TV missle "pro". The chaingun on it, is effective enough, but could use a little beefing up.

However the gunship it's self, is AMAZING to pilot, and the missles are effective enough. Getting launched in a pod from a APC or transport chopper, friggin awsome. Cloaked recon soldiers are a big concern, unless you have a support with a sensor. I'm playing alot with the AT/engi class, and so far it's pretty fun, nothing like blowing up a mech right in its face. OHHHHHH the buggies, are CRAZYYYYYYY fast, it's been the only time my system couldn't keep up with what was going on, when I was blazing across at top speed (oh well I'll have a new comp soon enough), especially with the added nitrous. Tanks have a great zoom, making for mini artillery, but making you quite vulnerable, unless you have some one in the turret watching your ass.

Theres more probably, but Anyone thats interested can experience it when a demo drops. I'm deffenetly buying, not that I'm going to stop using BF2, it'll just be more for the mods then anything else.

Speaking of which, if you play BF2, point of existence 2 just when active.
