Since the NDA's been lifted now. I can give a mini-review.

First thing that'll hit you is that engineer, support and medic no longer exist.
There's "heavy assault", that replaces support but doesn't give ammo.
If you select to have infantry tech, you'll always have a repair tool no matter what kit you pick (even sniper).
You have a similar health system to COD2, so no need for medics.

The whole premise is to capture the "frontline". No back-capping. You do so until you capture the enemy base or the time runs out.
It uses a ticket system similar to BF2, so it'll feel familiar.
As for vehicles, the maps currently there have no jets, only one helicopter per side which is highly manoueverable but can be shot down by infantry with the "anti-vehicle" class.

It's smaller than BF2's biggest maps though or at least the maps currently in the beta. I'll add more detail later along with some screenshots.

yay cant join anyservers. i click them double click them press launch etc... and nothing happens, then it starts finding games for 5 minutes again and repeat

EDIT: hmm i read from a person having the same problems that it only worked for him if he pressed launch for the server thats automatically selected, so i did this, and it worked yay, so i loaded the map and my computer died and restarted and now it wont run the beta at all.

Drones are awesome.  Mortar drone is like portable arty from BF2.

I tried it. I don't know if its the beta, my computer (doubt it) or my shitty internet, but every single time I do something, the game freezes for 5 seconds. When I can play, I get a very good FPS on everything maxed out, but I really don't understand how it lags so much for me.

You say this because you are incapable of using two analogue sticks, at the same time!!

"It's too hard to aim on FPS's." No it's not. You just suck.

PS3 > PC. End of.

@OP: Yeah, F:FOW looks quality. PS3 demo FTW!!

cd keys are unavailable, either ask someone for cd key or wait to see a new cd key batch(doubtful though).

Terrible.

2142 on Steroids

Gamestyle ie. having to cap areas that move along a frontline is good.

Rest is crap

I'd say specializations are also good idea. But everything exept frontlines and specializations is real crap.

Your post makes no sense at all whatsoever. I was refering to the fact that games designed for console and then ported to pc blow ass, due to their extremely limited gameplay and lack of options they provide.
