    im interested in getting this game but i was wondering how things are going - how is the community? how full are the servers? does the game run well (im using an 8700mgt)? bugs?

    im hesitant on buying it because after playing the beta it was littered with bugs that annoyed me to death.

    anyone have opinions on this game if i should get it or not please let me know

    oh and is there a multiplayer demo out for this game?

    I can't vouch much for multiplayer as I've only played a dozen games or so, but joining was easy, and seemed stable.

    Single player campaign was a blast too.

    I say wait for it to price drop and for it to have it patches install, because I got it for 30 bucks at circuit city and it was full of bugs. It took me forever to finish single player because it would randomly crash many times. As for multiplayer is concern, the last time I when on there were some people playing, but it was still buggy. Also, the lack on in game voip really sucks with a game that involves teamwork. They said there is another patch coming soon, but im probably not gonna bother with it since I uninstall it as soon as I finished single player. Plus, it takes up 12+ gigs on your HD.

    Funny. I had zero crashes, and it ran smooth as butter on my 8600m GT laptop @ 1280x800. But the HDD space is ridiculous.

    Yea, i also want to know the status of the game. Mostly for the multiplayer, cause If i'm buying it, thats what i'll be playing, probably not single player. Is there anywhere i can get server stats and total people playing online?

    I'm really enjoying it... haven't quite finished the single player campaign yet, but game runs good, and like htwingnut said, is a blast... i really enjoy the addition of the remote control weapons (helis, tanks, buggys, etc), plus you get real vehicles to use as well as some cool weapons.

    Haven't had time to try multiplayer though... was worth the buy to me though just for the single player. But, i'm a fan of single player more than multi, so your mileage may vary.
