A few things to share , balance was good with ground forces able to take on air & ground vehicles - very 2142 ish . Weapons power & accuracy was good with few weapons being so niche that they penalised you for choosing a class . The power-ups are not permanent a la QW:ET & the maps I played where big enough to prevent spamming . If you worked as a team you could hold a position by combining EMP & anti personnel remote weapons but you need body guards for the people using drones or enemy ground troops flank , close in and give the drone pilots the good news. Only played two maps but the sensation was similar to the early days of BF2 ... satisfying . Oh & THQ are a class outfit unlike the tossers at E.A.

Hopfully there will be lots of infantry maps, been looking forward to a large map mp game for a while, and after my expectations were crushed with QW:ET, I am not expecting it to be that good (well secretly hopping its amazing), which is a good thing tbh.

oh and i get a free t-shirt with my copy......... I couldn't find the standard version, but £25 is still good .

They are always XXXXXXL Because they assume everyone is a fatty/dont want complaints saying people couldnt fit in them (PC bollocks!).

Oooh I'm in a rant mood.
