It’s finally shipped! God dammit, this shit is almost as bad as waiting for Christmas morning. Almost, because, being a seasoned Battlefield player, I know what’s in store for me: A few beautiful jewels of genuine teamwork and decency, in a black sea of plane camping, assbackwards Commanders, and incompetent Blackhawk pilots.
And they really are beautiful jewels. Like the other night, when I joined a squad who’s leader actually gave two shits about if we won or not. He got us all on voice chat and assigned weapon kits, then got us transportation. And working as a proper team, we were unstoppable. We were so successful that we split into two squads, the second led by yours truly, and proceeded to own the server for four consecutive rounds. Still not better than sex, but damn close.
Anyway, until I can get my hands on a copy, I’ll be drooling over screenies and reviews. I really didn’t expect Gamespot to give a 9.3,seeing that there’s still some flaws. I guess the refined multiplayer won them over.
