Ok! After last nights games, it's official! I love this game! Now don't get me wrong I still love MW2 (glitches, fucked up lobby system and all) but this game also rocks!

While I'm not overly crazy about "Squad Rush" I'm really diggin "DM" and "Conquest"; Team "Rush" is Ok. For me to really enjoy this game I need to be on a team or squad that communicates. The maps in this game are so big that if your team or squad aren't communicating, it really sucks. This game is all about teamwork and you can't have teamwork if no one communicates.

Use the "Spotting" OR "Target Tagging" feature! It can really make or break a match. It allows anyone to "accurately communicate" real-time the location of Hostiles in your line of sight with your entire team; the position is immediately displayed as a red icon on everyone's HUD and mini-map. The beauty being that you don't have to know where you are, be familiar with the map you're on or anything else to accurately communicate the exact location of a Hostile; No More Guessing! Use the "Spotting" OR "Target Tagging" feature!
If you can see it and target it, you can share it with your entire team "real-time"! It's fucking amazing!

Got in a little time with this over the past two days. Impression : I've got to tell you that I was NOT at all impressed with the Demo but fortunately the game is much better. It is a great FPS, imho, but it is VERY different from MW2. Graphics are damn good; with one exception, the "Snow map"; same one used in the demo. Aside from that one map, the graphics are outstanding. I think this one will see considerab le "play time" on my console. That said, my biggest bitch is that I will now be splitting my online time between MW2 and BC2. This is a great Squad Based Tactical FPS; along the lines of GRAW/R6V. Better graphics, better movement and feel. You can't honestly compare this with MW2 (not a bad thing); they're just too different. Personally , I think this is a good thing!
