My concern, based on the demo, is that <i>Airborne</i> may be moving too far away from the narrative and set-pieces of the CoD series hoping to answer critics of their linearity. I like Tiger tanks crashing through French bakeries and sound-bytes stolen from Spielberg pieces. Hopefully a film-esque atmosphere can be retained with the new "dynamic battlefields". Technically, the game seems to run pretty well post-Airbone drop. Models and textures are nicely detailed, although the general darkness of the demo mission (it is night, after all) makes it a bit more difficult to appreciate. There seems to be a problem with bloom "leaking" from some of the character torsos, and the lack of AA is a bit miffing, but hopefully those will be fixed at release. Oh, and the MG42 sounds <i>epic</i>. Based on the strength of the demo, and the Call of Duty franchise heading to Tom Clancy’s territory, EA are going to take over as the WWII daddies.
