Maps seem really well designed. Great atmosphere too.

The sounds of the game are much improved over the beta though I still wish there was more player sounds ala the Battlefield series. However, the ambient noise from the sounds of tracer fire in the distance to Red Star propoganda being played over loud speakers just really give you the sense of being there.

The grenade launcher has seen its splash damage upped in a big way making it the new n00b tube. The change of the 2nd and 3rd level EMP is huge and the visuals are much improved as well.

One tip that really worked for me was to turn Foliage down to its lowest setting. I can pretty much crank everything else with my computer, but that one setting would kill my game if I put it any higher than 10% or so.

So, so far so good. I do agree with pretty much everything Bomm said about waiting on the game if you're at all on the fence. Even with everything that's much better, the game still does have a way to go.

Especially if you're a Vista user. The no VOIP yet still bugs the heck out of me, but at this point, I'd rather see them fix the massive bugs first and then worry about that.

Even if they directly copied the one from BF2. I mean, i know voip first but if they fix nothing else and give us a nice Squad UI, id fall in love all over again...

That said, we had some great times tonight. It will only get better
