I think you have to have it picked on your class.
So it is like a secondary weapon but you have to put in points so you can use it.

Yes I think that's right - you have to have it in your loadout and then you spend your BP to use it. AFAIK, once you've used your 2/3 rockets, you have to pay more BP to use it again - there is no ammo replenishment.
It has a good look in the sense that its basically a duplicate of CoD right down to the stupid 'KILL +100 POINTS! HEADSHOT +50 POINTS SCRATCHED YOUR ARSE +50 POINTS' popups. With the exception of the ridiculous 'pull an RPG out of thin air' buy system it just strikes me as the game Medal of Honour was trying to be. A merger of CoDs arcade style and BFs vehicles done in such a way the vehicles will almost certainly be nothing but gimmicks and not excellent offensive/defensive tools. Not when everyone has the power to buy an RPG the instant a vehicle appears.
Looks like a finely tuned amalgamation of COD, counter strike and battlefield.
Only thing Im worried about is the balancing, will good players who earn lots of BP lord it over the lesser skilled players, and do things like drones and vehicles make fighting on foot ungainly?
Think I'll buy but I'll be scouring for player comments first.

Seems shops in the USA have been selling it early.
Lol i decided to have a look on Amazon to see where it was position wise...
Its ranked 7th... that sounds good you say?
Consider then that its ranked 2 places behind this...

I really dunno about this game, no demo imo sets alarm bells ringing. Its based on unreal engine 3 so performance should scale pretty well, but for ati cards antialiasing can be a pain in the ass to get working.
It does look interesting but then again it really does look like MW2 with some vehicles tossed in. The m4 sound is starting to get annoying in the vids, not sure what their source was for that sound but it sounds more like a nailgun than an assault rifle. In some vids it also seems to take a ton of rounds to drop anyone.
Can't say i thought much of their last game frontlines, the trailers for that looked very interesting but the game itself was =/

Seriously? The SP was even more farcicle than CoD. By trying to save those few people they must've lost 10 times that many men and probably millions worth of equipment.
Thats the PC? Well either the controls are very sloppy or the guy playing it is utter ****e, probably the latter, given that the enemies were on his radar and he still didn't see them half the time.
Still doesn't look like a full price release tbh. Its strange though considering the Xbox footage enemies appeared to drop dead at the drop of a hat whereas here they were bullet sponges. And the gun still sounds AWFUL....
Funny thing about this game is its already "available" on the 360, seens quite a bit of mp footage spring up since around friday with a lot of people claiming they just happened to get it early. Wonder if the developer angst is gonna be exclusively directed at the dodgy pc versions.

Lots of info already posted, don't need two threads

Could do with merging really.
It's unlikely there'll be any dodgy PC versions before the US PC release, as it's a Steamworks game with Steam activation, so the physical copies will be encrypted and missing the executable.
Seems really silly to me that THQ have some sort of retail exclusivity agreement with high street retailers in the UK, so you can't buy the game on Steam over here, despite it being a Steamworks game that relies on Steam.
