If it's played right....................

If it works, and you get organized into a squad / outfit / platoon or whatever... this game is really amazing. Tons of vehicles and different armor / weapon options and different gameplay roles make this game one of the best FPS's I've ever played. It's VERY addicting.......

But then again.............. there's always the camping and idlers you can expect from every FPS...... and it's never any fun to travel for a half-hour just for a BFR (Battle Frame Robotics, A.K.A "Big Friggin' Robot") to wipe you out. But believe me, the good FAR outweighs the bad, it's just a matter of getting set up to play correctly....................................

The three teams are balanced fairly well, so the course of the battle is usually determined by the skill of a commander. The game is all about getting organized enough to strategically take continents.

(BTW, the game has some serious crash issues, but most of these can be eliminated by simply putting your video settings to 'low'.)
