Having played the demo at a friend's on PS3, I would have to agree with the UAV's gun. This game still stands to fix a few problems, but hopefully they've watched the demo long enough to realise the pros and cons. An interesting story, while playing on PS3 I grabbed a tank, drove it into the alpha crate in the first stage and entirely destroyed the crate simply by shooting at it. Nobody on the other team even thought to stop me. In another incident, I was flying the black-hawk (I think) helicopter (and coping with the controls) when I went to do another bombing run. I pressed x instead of R1, which switched me from pilot to gunner. I was unable to switch back in time to save myself. While crashing I pondered on the idea of a pilot who thought he was so amazingly good he could fly a chopper and man the guns at the same time.

I think whether or not I want to buy the game will be related to how many bugs and usability issues they manage to squash when moving from the beta to the demo. If the beta were a final demo and of representative polish (and it's not) I wouldn't buy it. (ex. broken server browser)

I'm with Terr on this one, except the amount of bugs fixed will affect whether I play the game or not, because preorders have a habit of not going away and putting the money back in your wallet.

I'm very excited for this one, to put it simply.

Whether or not this actually works out, I've been having fun over the past month. I'm very excited to see the whole result, considering it's supposedly on par with the console fun of the game. Can't wait to see the new maps that I'm sure the console players have been enjoying for months.

I guess a heavy evaluation should be taken on my part, seeing as though up to $700 of hardware upgrading is tied to the cost.

They stated several million times the browser in the beta was just quickly thrown together for the beta. Most of the options didn't even work. They have a real browser for retail.

That said, I'm not removing my preorder. Partially because I really didn't have any significant issues, but mostly because even with all the issues, the beta alone is still the best warfare shooter out there by far. Considering the closest competition is that pile of watered down shit that is MW2, and that I'd rather jam a ball point pen in my urethra than pay 60 bucks for that hunk of shit, Bc2 is pretty much unchallenged.

I definitely think there were a few attacks on Modern Warfare 2 there.

Especially when he mentioned dedicated servers; it didn't really seem necessary to refer to the servers as "dedicated low-ping server" unless it was intended as a deliberate attack.

Heaven forbid you try to point out some major selling points of your own product versus competitors' weaknesses...

So is it any good? Because we European folks have to wait till Friday for some bizarre reason.

Yeah, I need to know if this shit is worth $50 or if I should wait for the inevitable Steam sale.
