Damn good game, first impressions are I like it however the only thing in it that annoys me are some of the objects where you spawn you can find urself being shot at and wondering why you can't move cause there's a tiny box in the say you didn't see.
Must say was fun me and Btone in the APC guns blazing and all that to Ride of the Valkries over the radio
Also love the Veit Cong anti air soldier its about time the missiles track the aircraft now

We had some great games yesterday at work, set up a local server using one of the machines which is normally used for post processing the videos we produce for DVDs.
I like the M60 soldier with the grenade launcher rifle, it's all about the fire power baby!
Currently got my L plates strapped to a Huey

Its a lot of fun, but they're are about three critical issues they NEED to sort out fast, or its going to stop being fun very quickly.
1) Autoteams. It's either broken or not implemented. All the servers I've been on so far start you off as American when you first join into them, so the Americans always have a player advantage (I've been in games where its 12 vs 24).
2) Network stability. I've heard a few people talk about a server side memory leek. It makes sense because as games go on it tends to get choppier and choppier. Also when I join a server with 32+ people it quickly becomes unplayable.
3) Balance issues. I've been playing the NVA almost exclusivley, have had probably between 15-20 games and the NVA haven't won once. I think this is a combination of problem 1 and the ridiculously overpowered American Anti-Armour (M60) soldier. You can expect at least half the American players to be this class because it just pwns everything that moves. If you drive any vehicle as an NVA soldier you may as well paint a giant bullseye on your side, as everyone owns and uses their anti-tank weaponry. Try and make a run for it and you'll be mowed down by the same players ultra powerful machine gun, which btw is the equivelant to a NVA soldiers machine gun, the M60. Its just stupid.
If they can sort these problems out, I'll be a happy chappy!

So far it's great fun and gets better as you learn all the nice touches that are different from the BF1942 stuff. The VC tunnels are great for dropping a spawn point right outside the enemys main base!
Some of the booby traps are great fun as long as your own side don't run over them, could do with the same type of warning you get for friendly mines in BF42. It has to be said the first time you manage to grab a chopper and airlift a tank complete with crew into the middle of a fire fight (or behind enemy lines) is awesome. Dropping napalm on a spawn point full of VC from an F4 comes a close second tho'
It's def a game that grows on you the more you play it - it starts out as a prettier version of BF42 and takes a while to really start taking advantage of and appreciate the changes / additions in the game.
Having said all that he M60 is hideous overpowered, what on earth possed DICE to give a anti tank rocket launcher to the guy with the most powerfull gun in the game I'll never know - there's simply very little point to playing any other class if you're US.
In fact most VC grab a M60 kit off of the first dead american they find as a matter of course.

There's less single player support than there was in 1942. You don't have a "Campaign" to go through in this, but you can run a level with bots in. Unfortunatley the AI seems piss poor, you keep seeing soldiers standing still all over the place. Still, lots of fun to practice your Huey manouvers

Well I tried it on the EA servers last night and found myself in a lag infested unplayable game, so after 15 mins of it I gave up, however can I just say if you have it PUT YOUR TEAMSPEAK ON WHEN PLAYING GBH and Hoolio I tried to get in whatever server you chaps were playing for about 10 mins last night but it kept saying it was full.
At least with TS we could have coordinated soemthing.
