is it just me or does the game lag like no tomorrow..

There were a few problems, but only because I was running FRAPS. As soon as I took Fraps off it was fine.

Looks like an interesting game, can orders be issued ala ghost recon/ rainbow six style from the first person perspective? The overhead view certainly is interesting but I'd like the flexability of having both team order systems.

There is an dedicated order system for FPS, but on the version I had it was incomplete and basic. I'm not sure just how deep it will be, but I doubt it will be anything like GR.

The only thing I could do in the FPS order system was to ask them to follow me, tell them to hold/attack. I'm sure that was it, but I'll try and find out a definite answer.
