I believe Fast and Soulzz said that they had it pre-loaded yesterday. I'm wondering how it is. The multiplayer campaign mode definitely has me intrigued. I've read some good and bad about the game though mostly good.
 
Well, the mechanics and stuff are fun, but the beta sucks ass cause all you do is fight over a couple of 5 story buildings which consists of campers in the stairwells, snipers on the roofs, or getting slaughtered trying to reach the building.

Fun stuff-melee attack where you can pistol whip your opponent to death or club them with the butt of your rifle-bonus points for head bashing :)
 
the game itself has improved in terms of FPS. since beta. Our server seems to be a little laggy at full 64 (probably PB or the artillery, patch will probably fix this later i guess). If you like a semi realistic game this is for you (really high recoil for example)

You also have radio commands. Not sure how effective it is.

some map sizes are big as 2142.

Overall it hasn't got me into it. Don't think it will grow on me either but it is a very unique game. I still prefer Call of Duty 5 WW2. Many people do like it for what it is.

Scott,

I would wait a few weeks before you make a purchasing decision. The game is still very buggy, even at launch. They had to release it or they would run out of money. Like Magicka (released in December of 2010), I think these guys can fix the game in 2-4 weeks time. It's not nearly as buggy as BC2 was at launch, but it has it's share of issues.
 
..LoL, Dearest Scott,
..yada yada ya..:-)

It does look like shit, but the game is fun, for me at least.
