Maps:
I like the big maps where there are vast distances that needs to be travelled and strategies can come into play. The urban maps is too much like COD for me where rapid reflexes in a team determines the winning side rather than the strategy being followed. Well organised teamwork, combined with better weapon unlocks will go a long way to resolve some of the metro gripes I have.

Balance:
I think the vehicles is very powerful, almost too much so. I like the fact that you need to change weapons in the tank, gives infantry a little bit more chance. Yet, sitting in a tank, on machine gun fire, zoomed in, does not give infantry much chance. I have a feeling they will reduce the strenght in the next patch of the machine gun (unfortunately).

Interface:
Not sure that the interface running in a web browser is the best I've seen. Guess it will take some time getting use to it. I can understand why they've done it that way, cost reduction, quicker time to make adjustments, and I think very good anti-piracy methods.

I find it strange that you can only change your keys in game. I also need to look at the Console key (~) and see if one can replace that. A couple of times, I've pressed that when swapping weapons around.

Gameplay:
I would have liked that the baddies be marked a bit more prominantly. Right now, one almost need to look twice to distinguish between a good guy and a bad one. The camo the baddies are wearing makes them really hard to see. If somebody is lying still, I don't think I'll be able to spot them easily.

Graphics:
The graphics is amazing, not sure that I like all the junk flying around though but it is a really amazing looking game.

Bugs:
- Thanks Fly, that frustrated the crap out of me.
- I use a Logitech G5 mouse with speed settings, it seems to be acting up on occasions in game
- The sound is a bit soft. Let me rephrase, I need to set the game sound to 100% for it to be nice. However, I am unable to then hear anything on TS. I have a feeling it may be my earphones though. (Or I might be missing a master master volume button somewhere) Then again, the fact that I am deaf probarbly have something to do with it too....

Overall, nice game.
