Dedicated severs are what this game has needed for the last month!
Runs smooth now as well on the dedi's.
I think it maybe a month to late though

It wouldn't surprise me if it's too late. The last time I touched the game was about 5 days after I bought it. I was so excited about MP.. now I could care less, even with the ded servers.

Don't think EA is gonna support a game,that even at peak times only has 300 Players.

Don't get me wrong the single player is a blast! (short but a Blast!)
Multiplayer is is passable i've seen worse,
Once the modding community gets there hands on it we may see more life in it.
It was all in all not the product E.A had led us to believe. Although that's nothing new from them

I take it you like your shooters then! Quake wars is abit like marmite again amongst FPS fans
Personally i didn't enjoy the demo but you might want to give it go.
Try making a thread to see what others people suggest ,i'm sure they will give you loads of pointers.

Duno if this has been discussed as i havent read this topic in awhile. But apparently someone has found out how to increase player cap for mp to 24 or more.

Just completed this.
The good:
-Graphically impressive, one of the better looking WW2 shooters
-Framerate is fine for the most part - 45-90fps with a couple of bad stutters (e.g. the intro to the final mission where the front of the plane gets blown off)
-Paradropping to respawn makes a nice change from hammering quickload and lets you approach things from different angles
-Weapon upgrades are cool (even the slow-mo/B&W bit when you obtain them). MP-40 with 64-round clip rocks!
-Most of the missions are good, there isn't much filler here (unlike some of the MOH:AA/Spearhead/Breakthrough levels)
The bad:
-The death animations/physics don't seem right. Often you kill an enemy advancing towards you, they end up flying 10 yards forwards, legs first as if they've stepped on a bananaskin and then been blown along by a jet turbine. WTF!?
-Incredibly short. 6 missions lasting around 30-45mins each is pretty poor when you compare it to the likes of MOH
A - and less variety too boot. I don't have a problem with most so-called short games (e.g. Max Payne 2 or HL2:EP1 which are both very slick) but this is taking the mick. I'd expect at least 10 missions of that size. Console style 'achievements' like unlocking upgrades, winning medals or doing special drops don't really appeal to me - I like the storyline stuff, mission objectives, pressing forwards in combat not going for artificial targets. Once I complete a game it's very rare I'll go back for that stuff.
-Very little interaction with teammates. This is a step backwards from MOHA where you build up a real rapport with your colleagues through the use of cutscenes and team orders.
Overall as a game it is OK but I'd recommend waiting for it to come out on budget unless the multiplayer takes your fancy. It's not up there with CoD, CoD2 or MOHA.

I hated MOH:AA... Much more of a COD person myself, but a mate got AirBorne last week and I just could not beleive my eyes... It looked amazing.
I got it myself and Im amazed at the game... I loved every little bit of it.
Sure, the 600 million shots needed to kill those gas-masked Nazis was a little OTT but hey, its a game after all.
The last level in the tower where I had to get out of it... I must have been killed 20 times before I realised that I could finished that section just by... No, I wont.
It was too short.
Not as sickeningly short as HL2:EP1 mind you, but still short enough to make me think that I might have been duped here, but the game was a visual treat for me.

You do realise the same people that made MOH:aa also made cod? Cod was practically an extension of MOH:AA in some ways.
You are not the first person to tell me that.
But that does not change the fact that MOH feels different to COD
Just completed COD4, looks like it's a good time to play Airbourne for the first time just after this massive patch being released
Seems a bit strange to not have loads of in-game settings for fine tuning visuals like in COD4 though, I take it you can manually set AA and AF in the drivers ?
