    Alec Meer seems to like the game itself a lot. Doesn't have good things to say about how you get the game started though.

It’s confident, it’s bombastic but classy and it requires patience and carefulness. Proper Battlefield, you know? I suspect it’s going to make people very happy indeed, that annoying web loader/server browser and, of course, the necessity to have Origin installed and running as well as that aside.

    Yah need Origin to start gem then game loads web based browser - mine defaulted to Chrome not FF like I wanted, then server selection and Medals, Load out of classes are done web based before you go in a game.

    Anyone in the current Beta?

    There are passwords floating around that allow access to Caspian Border, which has jets.

    I'm going to buy this, but given my problems with BFBC2, I don't have high hopes for being able to play this.
