   Look out this game is as addictive as heroine, but well worth it.

The drawback is that it's not very "newbie friendly." New players will often be wondering what the hell is going on and how they play. After a day I have learned a lot of things, but not nearly everything. I think it will take about a week before I am a real asset to squads. The Certification system is quite good and allows for a bit of customization. Not everyone has the same guns, and not everyone can do everything. In fact, most people at the moment can only do 1 thing (hacking, repairing, flying, etc.) That will soon change though. If you are not good at First Person Shooters and are looking for a game where that doesn't really matter, stay away. Even though there are "levels" and skills, your hand-eye coordination still counts for a bunch.… Expand

   These guy are just upset they have to pay to play. Brian doesn't even own the game and as for Dean's comments....Hmm, wonder why These guy are just upset they have to pay to play. Brian doesn't even own the game and as for Dean's comments....Hmm, wonder why I've been playing since open of retail with only 2 crashes. Count them...1 , 2. There are literally thousands of people playing without issue on the servers and imo the game is a blast. Mr. zero there obviously has an axe to grind or he wouldn't be trying to constantly skew the results of this score. For me, the game has been a great find. A game with some character persistancy and massive battles to boot. I enjoy being able to get on the same server and play with the same people each evening. Almost nightly, I will be involved in a battle with 100-150+ people. It is unlike anything you've experienced to this point. Some may not like it and for that I say each to his own, but for me I'd recommend it.… Expand

   I make this post in direct response to Brian P's rant about how there is no need for a monthly service charge. I outright feel he is I make this post in direct response to Brian P's rant about how there is no need for a monthly service charge. I outright feel he is totally wrong. He cites the $50 purchase fee as more then adequate to fund not only all the developmental costs but also the upkeep and maintenance of the servers as well as the game code itself. Of course, this is ludicrous. You think $50 is an outrageous price for a PC game? I think not, considering as far as I can remember games have always gone for the hallmark $50, I find it impressive that even with inflation and the expanding piracy markets that they haven't raised that unofficial standard price yet. As for the monthly charge, it goes towards covering the costs of maintaining a PERSISTENT game world. Your money funds the servers the game resides on as well as pays the coders who are constantly working on new patches to both enhance and keep the game world moving. To be blatantly honest, I do not think your proposed advertising method of revenue would be profitable. For starters, people hate the pop-up ads you compare it to. In fact, how many of you actually click on any of that pop-up ad crap? I would say slim to none. People hate the imbedded ads. When I play a game, I want to play the game, I don't want to be bombarded with 300 "special offers" or whatever. I could take this rant on and on, but basically I wanted to make the point that despite your good grammar and format and all that jazz, your point is rather ill-thought and your so-called boycott is just dumb. You want the best of both worlds - for free. I've got news for you, you will never get it. Sure you have online games that are free, but they lack any kind of cohesive persistent world. That is what you pay for, and it will never be free because of the associated ongoing costs. That being said, I'd like to make the next point that THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO POST RANTS ABOUT SUBSCRIPTION BASED GAMING. The point of this board is to rate the game based on what it is, not to fault it for what you feel the industry should be. Your ranking of 1 should be dismissed and your comments stricken. Basically, go somewhere else unless you plan to actually review the game.........… Expand

Training modes don't work, TONS of connection problems and crashes, and even saving a keyboard layout doesn't work 3+ months after release from beta. DO NOT get this game. If you REALLY want it, wait 6 more months til the bugs are shaken out. Don't believe me? Check out the tech support board. There's a post ever 2-5 minutes. Yes, seriously. Oh, and there are already cheaters screwing it up for everyone, too. Still sound fun?… Expand
