I was hoping that this would be a Joss Whedon karaoke game announcement and now am disappointed.

Pre-ordered yesterday before Direct2Drive went to hell; playing in 20 minutes if there's no major issue!

REVIEW EDIT: It's not awful. Server matchup is a mess, sound drops out frequently, some with ATI graphics cards are reporting issues, framerate appears capped at 30-35fps. Game is fun though. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory feel to it. Hopefully it sees a lot of support, because right now it needs patches galore & that's not even touching potential future balancing issues.

Man, this game is hard, and I'm not even playing against other people (I think). It's very reassuring, though, with a steady tick of XP to remind me that I'm not totally useless, just frequently dead.

My God this game has the most comprehensive, redundant tutorial ever. Seriously it's been playing for like 40 minutes now. My screen has gone dark twice so far.

The funny thing is, it's telling me all this stuff I can do, but it hasn't told me how. There's been no control scheme mentioned whatsoever.

edit- So yea I've finally logged in an hour or so. And yea, this game is hard as shit. And I'm playing on easy. It's not like it's random deaths or anything in my case though. The computer just swarms the objective like crazy. 2nd mission requires you to take a key all the way across the map to their base...which is easy, but planting it seems to impossible because all 8 or 9 guys are just standing at point waiting for you to show up. Hardcore camping. Somehow...it's actually fun though.

And I typically play as a Soldier/Commando on these type of games as I'm more of a run and shoot type of guy, but I'm having a lot of fun playing as the Operative. I mean it seems like all classes get the same weapons so it's not like you do less damage then the soldier, who only gets an extra grenade. And running right into the enemy base with a disguise is fun as hell. Until you try to complete the objective and they all turn their attention to you.

Yeah, AI in this game blows. Playing against other humans is a lot more fun though. Just made about 7000XP in a round by alternating between medic (Have another health pip, 75 xp for me...oh you died? 75 more xp for me, get up...) and engineer (build that wall? hundreds of XP! Buff your weapon? 75 xp! Fix that thing! hundreds more xp!) with a burst of 125xp disguising as an operative.

With the weekend starting, there's a lot more people playing, and the game is much stronger for it.

New patch came out that fixed a few problems, that helps too.
First DLC will be free & come with a few maps, no further details.
