Played it for a little while, ran great, I'll probably spend more time with it tomorrow.

Ive played it. The game is good. Vehicles are all over the place. The map thats there is huge. Everything feels tighter than before. I am relatively new to BF and Desert combat and i couldnt fly any aircraft for shit in those games - but i can do it with ease in BF2. Communication is so easy now as well - you hold in a button and point your mouse to the saying you want. I dont think the mic chat works yet.

One of the cooler things is you can split up into squads. When you die you will respawn right with your squad, and not at one of the capture points like normal. Voice chat can only be heard between your squad and the commander (when it gets working). Best thing about squads is you can lock out anyone you want - so that means you can have all your friends in a squad and no assholes.

Now, yes this battlefield feels tighter than the previous BF games but its still not tight enough. Ground combat is still the same to me. It feels cheap and generic, especially compared to games like HalfLife 2. I dont actually feel like im shooting someone in BF2 like i do in HL2 or CSS. It is fun blowing people up tho and seeing them flying a billion miles up in the air. Graphics took alot of tweaking to get it to run right. It does an auto tweak which is total trash. It did all the wrong settings for my machine. I got it running really good now though.

That said, Im definately buying this game on day one. Its almost overwhelming because theres so much crap going on at once all around you. I love the class system which is very TFC-esque. I cant wait to see the other maps.

Destro, you pretty much described how I feel about the game to a tee. This is the sequel that I've been waiting for. Everything is almost perfect.
Only minor quibbles I have with the game is the way the heli's control. I wish that they would have kept the control scheme the way it was in Desert Combat. I felt as though I had more control. I dig the flares though. The sniper rifle seems a lil bit weak too. Then maybe again, I'm weak with it.

I had no problems with the game at all. I'm running it on high settings and it is great. Sorry to hear that so many of you are having problems with it. Guess I got lucky.

Now the Halo fan-boys can witness a real FPS.

Why didnt EA torrent it? Torrent was designed for this sort of shit. Its its purpose for being.

I'm getting it of of bittorent.

BitComet To the Rescue.

Hopefully my download is done and I'll be playing this later today before I hop back on World of Warcraft. I love the original a lot, but the ship battles with the aircraft carriers were hands-down the greatest maps.

I wish, the demo won't run on either of my machines

And Battlefield is more of a real vehicle fest then a real FPS. I spend more time in 3rd person driving vehicles than I do in first person when I play Battlefield.

Right. Because Battlefield is even vaguely similar to Halo 2.
