Now available to pre-order on Steam. You get a few pre-order bonuses, but more importantly you get access to the beta, which runs from Jan 28th until Feb 25th, game launch is 2nd march. Multiplayer looks fantastic. Really cool single player trailer was released a few days ago. Do i need to mention that this game has dedicated servers? store.steampowered.com/app/901297/

Now i'd like to think anyone interested in this game, or who even enjoyed BF2, had watched all those vids i posted, cause they show what this games like better than i can describe.
It's as close to a proper sequel to BF2 as you're ever gonna get.
But i've managed to play it today, and just wanted to share how it played.
I am in the PC beta, but thats unfortunately seriously hit and miss at the mo, since the servers are so unstable and i get booted from every game after about 5 mins, so i need to give that a couple of days.
But there's a demo of the game on Xbox Live, which is essentially the same as the PC beta (but clearly the PC version needs more work than the 360 version), same map, same game mode. So i've been playing that.
The gamemode available is called Rush. There's basically 2 bomb sites the defenders have to defend. The attackers have to place a charge there and defend it about 45 seconds until it blows up. When both bomb-sites are gone, the "frontline" if you like moves back to another pair of bomb sites. If these 2 also get taken out, the attackers win.
Happy, joyous memories of the better times of BF2 with our Awesome Squad™ came flooding back during this one firefight.
I was a sniper in a building looking directly over bomb-site B, picking off any mofo stupid enough to try to get to the bomb-site. After 5 minutes of this, they clocked me and call in the tank. This being the Frostbyte engine, buildings are destructible, so this tank is blowing holes into the building like there's no tomorrow, with small arms fire coming into said holes shortly afterwards.
But me and my Awesome Squad Try-outs™ (cause it wasn't you guys) did a bang up job of ressing me when i got tagged, supplying me with more ammo, and letting me continue trying desperately to snipe the guys trying to plant the bomb. It was epic.
I die, medic does a suicide run to rez me, ammo guy resupplies me, i clear the 2 guys planting the bomb. The tank rains death on the house, we hide like mofos, rinse and repeat until we win.
Awesome...
32 player games, BIG maps but with various focal points (at fucking last after those tiny MW maps), 4 people per squad (not 6 anymore, but oh well), dedicated servers, a hybrid Battlefield/MW2 style ranking system (xp for kills, objectives, assists etc, xp earns ranks, ranks earn new weapons/gear, when you use weapons and gear, you unlock attachments for them like new scopes etc).

Actually scratch that, there's 4 pairs of bomb-sites, so 8 in total to defend/attack...

aye, i remember you saying (see i do listen). also, google shopping confirms it as the lowest price.

re: steam. don't forget the download time. those servers will be rammed! the only thing i'll need is the update.
is it wise to keep my 'acquired' version or should i uninstall? i suppose all i'll need is the cd key right?

U don't really NEED the aquired version ---
I kept my Aquired version of AvP and copied it over to my official Steam version when it was released to save downloading it... But you'll have a disc, and won't need it.
