Maybe it's good, I have no idea because every single game I try to join it tells me is unavailable. Ridiculous.

Wow this game was fun. 32 players on a map, drones, vechiles etc...its a blast. Graphics weren't so bad as others said. Decent enough actually. Don't expect mind-blowing. Different from COD4 which is cool, so can't start comparing. Single Player is pure crap. I was going to avoid this game but the mp is definitely worth getting this game.

Anon 44: By "this day and age" you must mean the ancient times in gaming 10+ years ago when a simple team deathmatch like COD4 was first experienced in a game called Quake 1 PC. This day and age should mean games moving forward, more massive battles, more physics, more vehicles, more realism, more bandwidth. Instead games like Halo3 are stifled into being nothing but Quake bunnyhopping deathmatches in small maps between no more than 8 players. The more COD4's you buy the less likely it is developers will bother with dedicated servers, vehicles or more than 16 players.

To think if Halo3's Big Team Battle were run on globally distributed dedicated servers and had 32+ players with scorpion tanks, dropships etc. on massive fields of battle. Just THINK if Bungie actually had to innovate and advance their technology to survive on the market. But no, less people, smaller maps and the simplest of gameplay is the order of the day and the decade.

This game is absolutely horrible. How can any publisher put out a game like this in this day and age. Microsoft should be ashamed to even have this game in their catalog.

Amazing how everyone is comparing it to COD4, when practically the only thing it has in common is the war theme. If you need to compare it to something, then BF2:MC is the one you should be comparing it with, and in that respect Frontlines wins already. Helicopters can now be taken out without praying the guy flys near a GTAM and hoping he doesn't know the trick to avoiding the GTAM missiles, spawnkilling is much tougher, and snipers can be taken out with a drone instead of you having to walk around half the map to get near enough to eliminate them.

It's a good demo the one thing you have to remember is that is not CoD4 but the game does play well from what I have played of it.

I think its a great game i love how theres rc cars and helicopters and i like the whole vehicles and diffrent abbilities its a great game i think im done with cod4 for now.I was aggravated with this at first becuase it seemed hard but once i got used to it i like it better than cod4.Cod4 seems like a generic run around shooter this game lets u use vehicles and climb towers to snipe and none of that shoot em and they see where you are crap cod has i hate that whats the point in finding a good spot when they can find where you are

Its better then the Single Player demo we got but there is still way to many bugs in the game. The controls still suck hard. Game was fun for about 2hours but after that it got extremely boring. I was hoping this game would get me away from CoD4 until BF BC came out but I think I'm going to pass on this game.

I can't play this demo because I'm on a child account.

Really now, would it be hard to have it so that a "Parent or "Guardian" would have to enter a pass word when a child account attempts to download restricted content? This is really starting to infuriate me.

I must say, the fine folks at Kaos (of BF42 desert combat mod fame) have done a fabulous job with the multiplayer of this title.

FINALLY, and I cant stress this enough... FINALLLLLYYYYYYY we get DEDICATED servers for a true Battlefield experience. I mean what the hell are the other slacker developers smoking? What is so difficult in doing this.. six years ago.

Kaos is pissing in their eyes and deservedly so. I hope this game does well in the sales and I hope MS endorses it (now that its 360 exclusive).

To sum it up, we finally have the TRUE BF2(PC) for our 360's that have been capable of doing it and more since day one. Next stop, releasing the dedicated server runtime for fan hosting like on PC battlefield games. Of course MS will do everything in their power to stifle this wonderful advancement towards true online gaming, but I'm sure Epic is driving it in as we speak.
