Battlefield Online?

Righto, played for half of a round or so. This definitely tries to compete with TF2 and I must say it was great fun! It's fast paced, the players can take quite a bit of damage before they die. The sounds are great! Laughed my arse off when a burning brit ran past me screamin "OUCH OUCH OUCH!".

The tanks dont seem to be the usual kill-it-all death machines which is always nice. Graphics were nice too, very similar to TF2. Just too bad there was no planes in the mission.

Ow and getting into the game was pain in the butt. It seems that you cant just go to the folder, find the exe and click it, it wont connect. Instead you have to go to the BFH's site and click the big arse yellow "PLAY NOW" button, which then checks for updates and launches the game with no problems.

IMO, this is a great possibility for EA to get atleast a tiny bit of respect back from the players, but I'm sure they will mess it up with something like "Give us 10€ and you get this gun that shoots polar bears that then proceed to kill every farking one in the map, making you the best player of the server".

I'll be waiting for the full thing alot, had very good time crashing a jeep to a Sherman and trying to run like a sissy away from the tank.
