played until the trial ended (2 games I think) and it's a lot fun; I'll wait for the PC version. Controls are better than Bad Company, but they still don't let you change them enough to become comfortable (for me). They have the option to walk using the right stick, but I can't make accelerate the right trigger for ground vehicles? still, they let you do it for the planes? wtf? the planes control are more complicated than they need to be, like, you can't even reverse anymore; they just have just copied Crimson Skies or Warhawk. And in general I'm shit when using dual analog.
The game changes from 1942 seem fine to me. I mean, I played a lot of 1942 (1942 and 2 are my favorite multiplayer games) and the charm is still there with it all streamlined. The one thing I don't get is the sniper load out. It's the class that has the det packs, yet it is only good at far range since it only has a sniper and pistol. They should have given the sniper a gimped Thompson and the Engineer (or support, whatever it is now) the BAR. And the bombing planes are pretty awesome. That seems like the best addition.
The graphics upgrade is ok. The water and destructible environments are the only two things that really stand out. It has pretty bad aliasing if you look out in the distance.
and no real lag in the two games. Seems to run fine despite whatever problems there were.
