Picked up the game yesterday and played it for a few hours so I feel I can give an accurate review of it...

Took me 30+ minutes for maintenence issues before I could even play it...

First off, had to download a patch for it which took 20 minutes, secondly, it then needed to download and update for it, took another 10 minutes, then I had to enter my limited edition codes.....

Pros: You can now lay down in the game and respawning is instant. Graphics seem to be really improved from Battlefield 2.

Cons: Boards seem compressed than in Battlefield 2. Seems like they wanted to make it more similar to COD where you are pretty much on top of others the whole game. I liked the "breathing room" so to speak. You can only do random respawns (at least that is all it would let me do, would not let me choose a teamate to spawn on) because of the smaller board and random respawn, you would spawn pretty much next to the opposing team. On the weapons board, in BF2, scrolling over a weapon would tell you its damage, accuracy, etc... Didn't see or couldn't figure out how to do it in this edition.

That is how I see it. Keep in mind that I only played it for 2 hours but I went through each class to get a feel for it. I still don't like how it feels like I am playing COD as I am not a big COD fan.

For a first impression rating, I would give it a 7-10. IMO
