Nice addition to a solid FPS genre on the Xbox360 but it still needs tweaks and patches to help with its flaws!
Conquest mode is a very popular for this type of game. U have a set number of flag points on a map that both teams try to battle over. Any of the flag points can be taken over at any time. This is what decides the ticket count on each team along with a kill. If your team holds more of the flags the other teams tickets windle's down. Also each kill on a team also decreases your ticket count. So the objective is not only kill the other team, its also capture flags.
Keeping the game simple is the games vehicles, player kits, and map count. 1 tank type, 1 jeep type, 1 airplane type. Also 3 kits for each side. Rifleman, CQC man, sniper. Each kit has a unique ability like a Rifle Grenade or a Wrench to repair vehicles or C4 to set traps. Giving u enough variety to keep things fresh. 3 maps are given to do battle on and oddly enough the maps offer great game play. Sometimes your doing battle in a base or rolling the tank through a forest or duking it out on the beach. Classic maps all from BF1942 on PC. Hopefully they will keep the maps coming with new ones each month or new map pack a couple of months from now.
Now for the cons. As you prolly have already heard the servers are crap at the moment. Tough to get into a game that has even teams. I have played on maps where the game was lopsided 10 vs 4 throughout the whole game. It never evened out. Very weird. Also the squad option is very limited to only 4 people to a squad with 3 squads a team. U also cannot pick which squad to join. The only way to really have control of your squad is to invite someone on your friends list but that's pretty much it. Half the time when doing that the friend your trying to invite cant join the game for some odd reason. Yet the server isn't full but they can't join you. Private match functions is totally pointless since u can't start one until u have invited 15 other people to the match. That means u must know 15 friends who have the game and want to play at the same exact time. LOL!!! WHO CAN DO THAT?!?!?! That is ridiculous. It seems all this network and squad problems u would think they would have this figured out by now. EA is a big company and should have that on lock. I mean games like COD and Halo and Gears have way more functions and smoother multiplayer game play than this. Just really does make things frustrating. Playing with friends shouldn't be a hassle. That is what LIVE game service is all about.
I give this game a 8.5 for it's overall game play. It fails in certain areas but it seems that with just a patch here and there it would clear things up. It could be a 9.0 or 9.5 if they just put some effort into it. Hopefully they will!
