Found no mention of it here?
1st person shooter set around 2027, it looks gorgeous and apparently plays very well indeed.
Single player campaign isn't as long as it could be, seems to be the norm nowadays.
Very tempted.

I'm going to be buying it tomorrow, watched loads of viseo's on youtube, looks very good to me.
I can't help thinking that many of the reviewers have scored it low because it isn't a COD game, the campaign is no shorter than any COD game but it is being scored down for it.
User reviews seem far better than the mmagazinne reviews

I did like the look of this, although i haven't adapted well to FPS games on consoles. I'm not a COD/BF player either, so might appreciate it more. I'm in need of a new game, as Fight Night went off the boil for me very quickly. 
But with a very limited budget, i'm not sure if this is the game for me. Any other good ones out in the next month??

Read reports that it has a very short campaign. (bit like medal of honor)
I know MP is the focus, but unless the MP is better than Bad Company 2 i will hold off until BF3 arrives

Still on the fence for this atm
Bad Points:
Only 12 Guns
Only 2 Game Types TDM & Domination
Only 2 Button Layouts (How games can't offer custom layouts I don't know...
)
Graphics - Looks like a PS2 Game
Wall Hacks - Guns poking through Walls / Fences but can't shoot them
Over Powered K/S - Drones & Choppers
No Launcher until later levels - Noobs get r*ped by K/S
Early Server Issues
Good Points:
Battle Commander - In Game Side Missions - ie if you kill lots of the enemy you get a target on your head and people are sent to try and take you out
Battle Points - In Game Currency to buy K/S or Vehicles
Connection - Hit Detection is good and lag is not really an issue so far
A lot of the bad points are present in other games, I'm just waiting for the dust to settle and see how many people on my FL are still playing this is in a few weeks.
One thing I don't like is the codes sold with games now to get past a certain level.
So you either have to buy a brand new copy or get a second hand one and buy the code.
Kills the second hand value

Yeah i have decided to stick with Bad Company 2 until it drops down in price enough to make the short campaign worth it (around £15)
Still waiting for Medal of Honor to drop down to this point as well

Played this for an hour or so last night, sound effects are a bit weak, i'd compare them to Medal of Honor, graphics, not ground breaking but perfectly acceptable IMO.
The game play though I love, the maps are massive, 16 vs 16 battles is great fun, love how you get a quick glimpse of the whole battlefield as you respawn, i can understand the graphics given the size of the maps and the fact there's 32 people playing in every match.
People wanting another COD won't like this, if you run out like a loony you will get killed, it's an awsome game though IMO.
As for the online codes, it's the way things are going across all publishers, EA started it, so far it doesn't seem to effect trade in prices, I expect it to in due course though

4 hour single campaign, finished it yesterday, ending was not satisfying, think I'll ebay it as I can't be bothered with online.
PS3 version, pop-ups everywhere, loads of glitches, invisible walls. Not a polished single player experience at all. MOH was better.
