I've heard from my brother (another indirect source..nobody here has played!) that online was a lot of fun. He gave it credit for actually implementing a system of military command on the battlefield with commander type roles that people actually follow. Aside from well-organized player groups who game with eachother frequently, this has never happened with complete strangers.

It was also good to see it is a non-WW2 game. As much as I like the genre as a setting, there haven't been enough modern battle games of a high quality. Besides, Call of Duty 2 is going to make other WW2 games irrelevant [img]smile.gif[/img]

However, he said that offline was pathetic - absolutely inferior to any other current game other than BF 1942. If I recall correctly, BF Vietnam had no single player at all. As I'm on a 56k until September, I'll not be seeing the demo, much less the full product.
