I had a chance to get in about an hour and a half of playing last night. While I liked it, it wasn't without it's problems. Maybe I am just too used to COD but the enemies seem to take a lot of bullets to kill. I'm guessing this is a result of the 100 point non regenerating health system, which I'm not a fan of. I don't much like relying on worthless teamates to heal me. However, this could add more strategy to clan games or games with people you know. Overall the graphics are nice, and the destruction works pretty well; especially when your in a tank. The vehicles are pretty easy to get a hang of and are quite fun to operate. While playing there was a bit of slowdown but the servers were experiencing heavy traffic and that should be fixed. I could only get into games on the dessert map which is huge and can get pretty hectic at times. I like the option to spawn with your squad to be closer to action however I wish you could choose the teamate to spawn with. Overall I enjoyed myself very much but not quite as much as COD4.

Yes thats what i did not like either takes like a entire magazine to kill a person. And targeting system seems a bit clunky.

EA servers for you , just brilliant!

Just played another match after work. First time I had a chance to play in in surround sound with the volume up and I must say its worth mentioning how amazing the game actually sounds. It sounds so realistic and immerges you in the action. Gunfire and explosions are happening all over and the game really captures near and far sounds perfectly. However there are another 2 problems that popped up today. One, the fact that in order to throw a grenade you have to switch weapons. Not a big deal but it does take a little extra/uneeded time and is quite annoying. Secondly, there is no option to go prone. It is either stand or squat. I can't believe I forgot to mention this earlier as its my second largest problem with the beta next to how long it takes to kill someone.

Yeah I never liked how you have to use the D-Pad to switch weapons. It's ***.
