  • Had massive problems during the installation procedure (always corrupt files during installation - downloaded it 3 times..), afterwards some special kind of dx9 file was missing, not included in the standard distribution, but from the latest august release from MSDN. So when i finally got it to run i was thinking - ok the demo is large enough - its ok for EA to leave away DX9.

    What then really got me mad is that you have a huge introvideo that goes for around 5 minutes and doesn't help you in anyway and AGAIN there is no Escape action to turn it off and get going with the game.

    I then played on some random server with Titan mode, which is a pretty nice idea - but the weapon handling, movement with the vehicles (Airplanes still suck very badly) especially the hovertank are miserable. Infantry combat is kind of nice, but seems of very little importance for the whole game. Twice the titan of the enemy got blasted just by the rockets, not by actually going there and blowing it up up front.

    EA / DICE stop beating on a dead horse and milking a franchise that already has made many gamers angry. Come up with something new gorramit !
