Since Zipper made Socom 1 & 2 for PS2 last generation, I have a feeling this game is going to be awesome. Might even get this over Bad Company 2 depending on reviews.

Too bad this wasn't a PC title as well. Need something to hold me over while I'm waiting for BF3.

does this give anyone else a sort of Planetside vibe? It strikes me if Sony were to do a replacement game for PS it would be something akin to this.

speaking of which, I'd love to see a PC port for this.

None of the trailers have actually ever shown a large number of players, despite them constantly touting the figure as if it was meant to excuse the mediocrity of everything else they are showing.

Damn you, DICE, for dragging your heels on Battlefield 3. Damn you. You're going to make me purchase a PS3 just so I can satiate my curiosity with this game. ^%$# you for fiddling around with these staring at the ceiling fan whimsical ideas like Heroes and 1943. After this long a wait you had better be holding back until it's safe to release a DX10 only game.

Does this mean your character is tied to a specific faction and you can only play for that group?

I can't see anything in most of the scenes on the trailer. Games need to stop using colour correction to darken the screen beyond playability.
