I really can't wait now

Myself and quite a few other members of BFB have ordered this, fingers crossed it's not a disappointment. If the multiplayer is anygood we might well put a server up.

I've played the beta, it's not really anything special IMO, but I didn't give it a lot of time. Just standard deathmatch and CFT really.

The real fun looks like it will lie in the single player, if they had it so you could to stuff like the singleplayer but with 63 other people somewhere in the wilderness, THAT would be awesome.

Link to a 20 minute gameplay video on site below. 190 MB but download server is full speed and only took 4 mins over 8 Mbps.

The thread over at Rage3D has some nice videos on it, one showing how the dynamic day & night cycle was messed up on one of the hosts machine, it kept changing every 3 seconds.

Ah well it does look a very nice game, glad I pre-ordered it.

There's a review of it in the new PCGamer. They report that while it is a bit buggy and some of the promised features are missing it is still special and unique. Score is 87%. I am gonna stick with my preorder as it does seem to do some things both different and right

nicezor!

Indeed, did it mention specifics regarding issues/bugs?

[Azza]

Im not sure about this game, going to wait till my mate gets it then see what it is like. No point in buying it, then finding out that I hate it.

Im just sitting here waiting for Crysis at the moment.

Crash to desktop i think.

It still looks cool, and they say it's very atmospheric and creepy. Im gonna stick my pre-order.

[dkmech]

Yeah, its mainly crash to desktop when changing level - but it autosaves before loading a new one, which is nice.

Thats using the BETA right?

[dkmech]

No, I believe PCGamer try to review release versions only (apart from very few exceptions).
