    Hey guys,

    A demo of this FPS is out. you can download it, its 1.8gb large, i think its worth it since it has the sense of BF2 but with over 50 vehicles and gadgets, get it here:

    I played the Beta demo about 6 months ago. Wasn't too impressive. It looked great, and had potential, but the full version was just too bugged.

    Seriously with you there... I stumbled around Best Buy with the wife today just trying to find a new game. Came real close to Rainbow Six Vegas 2... but backed out.

    RSV2 is a good gameplay, but a bit disapointing on Graphics (SAME as the first Vegas) and it still could messy with the FPS if you play on realistic with all the Tangos spamming nades on you. there is no harm to DL the demo if you have time :p , i'm just going to play anything till i lay my hands on DMC4 , hehe

    Fuel of War is a lot of fun, I've been playing the multiplayer. If you have the bandwidth, it can't hurt to try it.

    I bought the game and was not really into it. It is really buggy and I don't know if they fixed many things yet.

    I agree, the game is very fun, and has some unique game play, I'll try some multi player, need a break from AOC.

    It was buggy when it first came out but works great for me now.

    I had to reinstall the game because I kept getting error messages, but since I did that I have had no issues.

    Meh, not too impressed with this one. Just seems like a battlefield 2 expansion or something.

    Not at all. I heard there are only a couple hundred players ingame on average.


    edit: I didn't realize this was only my first post on these forums, because I've been browsing it for almost half a year now. So, hello everyone :)

    Welcome, and your right about the servers too.


    If anyone wants to check how many players / servers are there for a particular game just visit http://www.game-monitor.com/. It lists all the servers, amount of players...everything you need to know about the games online popularity.

    Currently it seems there are about 59 servers, with 128 players.
