    Just tried out this game and thought it was OK. Has anyone else played this game? It just came out in the last 24 hours.

    it's pretty horrible.

    Guns have no feeling to them, animations are really rough, graphics are rough and unappealing.

    I downloaded it, which was really quick. I got really excited with all the cool loadout options and all the different guns etc... then I played it for 10 minutes and I did not like it at all. It felt like I was playing Battlefield Heroes which I did not like that much either. So I uninstalled it. The other games available on steam as free to play are much more enjoyable.

    Yea the presentation for the game I have to admit is really good. It's just that the gameplay sucks :/

    Agreed. Stopped playing after 2 minutes. Not a fan of the third person view on this game either.

    Downloaded, loved the initial setup, thought the actual game was quite bad. Just felt unfinished, poor sounds (yes BF:BC2 has spoilt us), and shoddy gameplay.

    It's a shame they're throwing junk at us now because they think 'free' is better.
