The entire video translated to EA/DICE screaming ME TOO!!! while running after the TF2 bandwagon. Need i cite Their countless mmo’s, Armies of Exigo, Mirror’s Edge, cnc3, ra3 and alot of things i’m forgetting that sold purely on similarity to a sucessfull game and turned out to be absolute crap? I’m skeptical over the third person camera too. It has repeatedly proven to be very glitch prone and in games where the option between 1st and 3rd exists, 1st is the norm because you don’t shoot walls you can look over but your character can’t. I’m off playing TF2 again, a game i technicly got for free too, as it came in the $40 orange box, while EA would have charged $60 for ep2 alone and not include the other 4 games at all. Or, if mirrors edge is any indication, 60$ for the first quarter of ep2 alone.

I think the look and the gameplay (if it’s anything like BF1942) are distinct enough from TF2 that the “Rip-off!” crowd can settle themselves down. Can’t wait for it to come out to see if it lives up to the high bar it’s setting for itself. If not–hey, it’s by DICE, and it’s free. No problem there.

Anyone else hear the Metal Gear thing at the end?

Really beautiful art style. I hate to say this, but I think I like the look they’ve gone for more than the TF2 look. Blasphemy I know.

Conversations elsewhere made me realise: third person is there because your characters get customised. It’s because they’re trying to do WoW fancy dress for soldiers. If it’s not third person you can’t appreciate it.

Didn’t they announce a few weeks ago when everyone kicked up a fuss about ‘fucking console third-person schwag’ that, whilst a lot of the screenshots/footage is in third-person TO SHOW OFF THE ENGINE, there will be a first-person mode?

There’d better be sitting slots on the tanks too!

Or there’ll be HECK to pay!

Goddamn third person shit. Who decided that was a good idea? Who I ask you!

The tubby tanks are – dare I say – cute?

That isn’t necessarily a negative.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t think about the game without muttering “Team Fortress 2 rip-off” under my breath. Maybe it’s comparing Addams Family and Munsters, but, my word, another military “cartoon shooter”? Rip. Off.

I love you, Valve!

We’re going to be whistling that theme tune on the bus by the end of Summer…
