I toyed around with the small-scale SP for a long time. Artillery = omgWTHpwn. There's nothing quite like sending an entire Marine offensive into the stratosphere. Time for some real gaming.

I love this so much, the squads and commander really really make for some awsome gameplay if your with smart people.

Artilery is powerful but its not overpowered becuase A)you have to know where to put it b)its easy to get away from for the most part c) a spec ops can destroy it really easy. The support weapons arn't overpowered either, you have to prone and use burst fire to be effective with them, not like BF:V. Though to be expected people favor USMC over the MECs but the weapons so pretty even in my opinion, and they arn't clones of each other either. And they are semi realistic being the m16a2 isn't full auto. The engineer shotguns are good close range but as expected suck medium to long, but thats ok becuase the pistols are auctaly damn acurate so it makes up for it.
For demos like this, I HIGHLY reccomend <a href='http://www.filefront.com' target='_blank'>Filefront</a>. Free (don't even think it requires a sign-up), almost NEVER has lines, and if there are lines, they're like 5 minutes. I always get 300K+ a second from all their servers.

I'm loving this game so much. Trashing those poor jarheads with a flanker never gets old, and plinking tanks with the TV guided missiles is incredibly satisfying.
The only thing I don't like is that players cannot be issued orders unless they're in a squad, and they have to join a squad themselves; nub players make for a very chaotic and aimless team. Usually you only see about five to ten of the whole team in various squads, and even then the commander usually pays little attention to what people are doing and will give orders rather arbitrarily. I frequently get orders to "defend units" while flying around in a bomber, instead of orders to attack areas. What usually happens is that I fly over the area and bomb it to make a point - the commander gets the idea, and everyone else reports me for TKing.
TKing. It's pretty much impossible to avoid blowing up a few teammates while cruising around in a fixed-wing aircraft. Infantry aren't highlighted on your HUD, and are almost impossible to see from the air. Most people react in a rather knee-jerk fashion when they get TKed, even if it's very clearly accidental and apologized for. I can't even count the times I've been kicked or seen other people be kicked for a few mistakes. once I airstriked a point that most of the enemy team was at, but ended up killing five teammates. Even though I leveled the enemy offensive, my team didn't care and kicked me off the server. I did play on a non-FF server once, and it was bliss compared to the hell I go through in my Flanker.

Hmm I dunno, I have mixed feelings about this. Since they have made the same mistakes they made with the original Battlefield 1942... <ul><li>Tanks are to small</li><li>Damage system on vehicles is totally inacurate. Tanks damaged by grenades... AGAIN like BF1942. Comeon learn from you mistakes <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--></li><li>The overall sounds of weaponry is VERY unimpressive.</li><li>Tanks should make a hell of a lot more noice when moving, them turbine diesels are real noice makers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--></li><li>Explosions in general are quite lacking, needs more dust. Hell the whole game needs more dust (moving tanks, choppers and explosions)</li><li>The pov/hat switch isn't used for looking arround in planes/choppers. You have to do that CTRL + mouse crap again, while being unable to control the aircraft</li></ul> Overall the new engine is quite nice though. It looks very nice and the physics from first person is awesome, plus the nice addition of the rag doll effect. And last but not least the daze effects from explosions are cool to. But it seems it's up to the mod teams to get the best out of this game once more, like with BF1942. I Won't buy this game until the Forgotten Hope mod team is going to get their mod onto this engine. They will make up for the mistakes Dice and EA made...
Nice game, but lacking in a few things. Not to bad though, it's a nice arcade type of game like BF1942 was...

This is game is freaking awesome.
