Just another heads up. The proper demo is now on PSN. Just a word of warning, the sensitivity for controls is only set at 15% by default!!! It feels like you're embedded in syrup. get it up to 70-80% if you're used to MW2!

Interestingly, it's a different map from the beta. Only had a quick play, but it reminds me of one of BF2:MC 's maps. Not as fun as Arica Harbour yet. Will try more of it this weekend.

I actually went to go and find this on XBL last night and found it - d/l was so slow to get the 1.3GB or whatever it was I gave up as I fancied playing MW2 online and couldn't do both. May leave my 360 on this evening when out to d/l it.

Played the demo a few times and this game is by far better than MW2.

Finally the recon loadout has C4 and the mortor, fun times lay ahead.

I havent seen a mortar used in an fps game since the days of Joint operations. one of the first games to have 128 player maps.

You get to unlock even better loadouts as you progress. Having the mines on the Engineer can be hilarious. The mines don't suddenly disappear when you die if its the same as the Beta, so you can literally make mine fields.....after dying a lot of course.

That's good, it's daft how claymores can just disappear in MW2 :scratch:

ive had a quick play all very confusing but looks outstanding

[jtc]

Been playing the demo on the 360 and I'm impressed - it's gorgeous and the sounds are much more immersive than MW2.

The only down side is I appear to suck at it, after playing the original BC to within minutes of the disc's life!

A definite purchase though :thumbup:

[andyd]

I had a quick go of this last night. How dammmm hard is it to kill someone! It took me a good 5 minutes to work out what the buttons do

So far

[jymmm]

will be hunting for this weekend.

You can set up the buttons to mimic CoD IIRC. And you need to shoot people to kill them dude . Though extra points for killing someone with the Support class's repair drill

[m1ke]

Downloaded last night, may get a little go later. I'll let you know what I think.

[Ali]

Had my first proper game on the new map. Kicked some serious butt. It's great to have more knowledge of the game than all the n00bs Even brought down two helicopters using the UAV for triple kills I love this game!!!!

[Mark]

Can't help but feel this Is a sniper fest

Sniper vs Apache AH-64. Sniper loses.

[Mark]

how do you get to the helecopters then?

I downloaded the new demo on release day and, initially, I was disappointed. The first closed beta map seemed to be much larger and IMHO far better than this new "snow map".

However, after having spent a few hours on the map I'm now beginning to like it and my pre-order will remain ordered.

As for the snipers, this map is much better at controlling them. The first beta map was definitely a sniper fest, you could literally go to the top of a hill and kill 15 people in a row from half a mile away until one of the opposition finally had the balls to run up the hill and knife you in the face!

On this new map, it simply isn't that easy and once they are "spotted" using the SELECT button on the PS3 pad and lit up like a Christmas tree, your team should make short work of them. :thumbup:

[Ali]

The tanks are also far less dominant as well. They're damage and armour has been decreased as they were a joke in the beta. My only criticism is that the UAV's machine gun and faster reloading of the missile make it ridiculously good in the right hands. Oh, and that the default helicopter controls are just bizarre. I've switched them back to the BC1 layout.

The helis are given to the defenders at the second last base (an Apache) and the last base (a Blackhawk with twin mini guns).

[m1ke]

I had a go last night. Hmmmm.

Things that annoyed me;

People don't die. It's worse than COD without stopping power for the sniper rifles.
Mele attacks in the back of the neck, don't kill people.
You can't go prone. (unless I'm missing something)
It feels slow but you can run forever.

I went back to COD afterwards and it did feel better, although I am getting bored of that now.

Yep, I found this out the hard way and ended up dead in just under 12 seconds from lift off. I said to my team mate have we been shot? He said no, your just a sh!t pilot.

Also WTF is with the death swim? On the last beta you could swim for as long as you wanted, on the new map you can't. Is it because of the temperature of the water? Maybe I'm getting cramp :scratch:
