Once they closed the beta, I kinda stopped paying attention.

Reviews on the game are placing it in the 4 out of 5 and 70-80 out of 100 category. I'm still waiting for a few critical things to be implemented via a patch before I even think of buying it.

They are making a deal with Punkbuster to get a handle on the hacking, cheating and exploiting. I haven't played it since the open beta, but word of mouth and forum feedback seems to point to a REALLY bad problem with cheaters. It's kind of a shame they didn't just delay the release before it was ready - 1st impressions for a new studio are far more important than making the deadline at all costs.

I'm holding off for a bit. Nobody I know is getting this soon, although most I know plan to get it eventually. We must be growing old, not being the enthusiastic early adopters we once were. 😀

I don't know anyone that got this game. It is disappointing that they've had such a rocky start. Some of the things that they should have though of ahead of time they didn't and that surprises me.
