This is an excelent game.Many old school CS fans willl like the awesoem team work and the Halo style vehicles will be a crowd pleaser. Basically its a mix of all the good things from the best video games of this era. Combined with up to 100 players online fighting, I can safely say "Game of the YEAR"

Outstanding!

Novalogic has out done it this time! I have been a Novalogic fan for six years, and I have not seen anything as good as this.
The only thing I regret is that Amazon only gives you 5 stars to choose from. Keep up the good work!!!

Beta review...

I played the beta for this game and have a few things to report...

First off, I am as excited as the next guy to receive the next generation in the Battlefield 1942 genre. Unfortunately, the beta did not meet my expectations.

The graphics are on par with BF mods like Desert Combat (which you can download free at their website of same name); there are slight improvements to graphical elements like water and particle effects, but nothing that would wow you (like Far Cry).

The real standout feature for me was the way the game moved away from roaming the map for control of points (or as in BF, "tickets") and towards a more linear model. Everyone fights for the same spawn point. This makes for interesting and very intense battles with essentially all the hardware and personel focused on one point.

As I understand it, the publisher will go to market with slightly better graphics, which is of course a good thing; but in light of Doom 3's impending release, and the availability of free mods like Desert Combat, I'm afraid they might need to do more than that to get a leg over this market.

First off i woulld like to aplogize to those of you who were fooled by the last guys review...
This game does not now and will never have anything to do with EA Games or the battlefield 1942 franchise. It is made by novalogic and is the next step in there sereis of their acclaimed counter-terrorism games; the deltaforce series. I would give this game a rating of three stars because the game is very fun and the vehichles add a unique twist on gameplay but very little seems to have changed since delta force black hawk down. The weapon models are exactly the same and their seems to be very little graphical improvement since bhd. otherwise the beta was very fun. I would say that this game is a definate must-buy for hardcore fans of the franchise but otherwise look out for the upcoming battlefield2 for vehicular and classbased tactical combat. The game will have all the classic deltaforce multiplayer matches including deathmatch,team deathmatch and king of the hill but the addition of the vehichles should make for an interesting change in tactics.Hopefully the singleplayer will be a littl less objective oriented and more open ended. For those of you who have not played the demo, download it from novalogic.com

This demo is really cool a world better than the beta test demo. I'm not going to say it's better that BFV or 1942, but I've heard it said a lot already. The demo is really smooth and Amazon is the cheapest place to get it. Just my 2 cents.

A Very Pleasant Surprise

I also played the Beta version of the game. The game was pretty innovative in its aspects. Graphics were pretty cool and realistic. The roving map was an interesting idea that was done right when such an idea could kill the game. The team game concept was done very well and this is coming from a guy who is usually the lone wolf when I usually play these types of games. The thought of aligning yourself with over 100 people online with one mission in mind will catch ANYONE'S attention. The feel of the game is very real and I got all this from the BETA version of the game. That means it can only get better from there. This is a must buy and a can't miss!

The person that has a review posted above me is completely wrong unfortunately. They have no clue what they are talking about so please disregard everything he says.

DESERT COMBAT is not a free game. You must purchase 50 dollar game to play it. He is very much wrong in leading people in thinking it is a free game.

This game supporst up to 150 people on multiplayer with no lag and is very smooth. The graphics are incredible especially considering the fact that the game supports so many users.

If you liked Battlefield series then this game is for you. It is what Battlefield 2 is trying to be. A massive First person shooter. Well you have it right here! It has broken the barrier of first person shooters.

Go out and buy now. You can't beat the price.

Novalogic Does it right this time...

I don't know what some people are whining about on the forums. This is a darn good FPS. I played it for about 5 hours yesterday and for a 1CD game, I was surprised at the level of the graphics and content from this game. Novalogic has affiliated themselves with NVidia and this is a bit of a dissapointment for me because I use an ATI GC and I work at ATI, but even on my ATI 9800 Pro, the game looks sweet and runs like butter. I was also impressed with the level of control and realism in this product. For example, you have to calibrate sniping distance using binoculars and then adjusting your crosshairs accordingly. The mortars, grenade launchers, etc.. work off the same principles.

The foliage is rendered brilliantly, even better than BF Vietnam, and I love BF. When shells or bullets hit water, the effect is simply amazing. Flying around in the copters was a lot easier to learn than in BF or Desert Combat. Novalogic decided to keep the flying vehicle controls simple and this is fine with me. Also, it took a bit of an adjustment to get used to the controls, but trust me if you do thee training missions, they become a snap to learn.

Try the demo out and then decide for yourselves if it is for you. Don't listen to too many critics...this game is top notch. Hey, remember how many patches BF1942 had to go thru to get it to what it is today? And yet it still ended up getting Game of the Year awards. I think this one has a lot of potential too.

GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
