Got the demo, playing it. So far so good, amazing graphics, gameplay seems very good, very similar to Ghost Recon, in fact, almost identical, but that's no bad thing.Definitely looks like a winner.
Is it more like GRAW or the R6 games on XBOX?
Because I hated those R6 games.
Got the demo from OXM.
This game is absolutely incredible. I have nothing bad to say about it, except for one freeze, but other than that it is perfect. The cover system is perfect: hold the left trigger by any cover and you put your back to it. Pull the right trigger to blind fire around a corner (or over a short wall/through a window) or hit the b button without aiming to throw a grenade around the corner, exposing very little of yourself.
When you go into cover under a window, aim up and hit the right trigger and he (very reslistically) reaches up and smashed the window with his gun, leaving a nice sized hole to shoot out of, but not completely smashing it.
Simply aim at a door and hit A and your team stacks against it, and a little option menu in the shape of your D-Pad pops up on the lower left. Aim at the bottom of the door and hit A to use the snake camera and select priority targets, move to another door (if there is one) and order your team to flash and clear/frag and clear/clear the room. They will shoot the targets you labeled with the BACK button, and you concentrate on any others. This whole process, when you get good, takes less than 10 seconds, room clearing included.
Hit A at a hook on a railing to rappell, and order your teammates to do the same by hitting the DOWN button on the D-Pad. You can also use right/left on the D-Pad to tell them to go up or down. Click the left thumbstick to go inverted, or jump over a window and hit A to bust through it, SWAT style 😄.
This 15 minute long demo absolutely put this game on my must-have list. Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is intense and tactical, yet still very fluid and easy to learn. Controls are fantastic, and the new cover system will revolutionize how this game is played. Seriously, if you're into shooting games, pick this up!

I was at Borders yesteday and saw the OXM with the demo disc. I was tempted to buy it and try it. But I had to pass it.How's the controllers BF...smooth or ackwards?
Controls seem solid, no problems at all.
The game gets a little choppy at times, but that's about teh only negative I see in the game so far.
Yeah I played the multiplayer too with Beowulf and it was pretty insane... especially with the whole character customization thing. And it was really weird how the OXM only gave it an 8.5 I was like WTF? The only problem they had with it was that some of the levels seemed unbalanced in difficulty... but seriously who cares?
I bought this game. It's sweet. you can even use your vision camera to map your face into the character you're creating. The controls is fine and the graphics are impressive. Not GOW outstanding or COD3 pretty, but they are very good. The gameplay on the other hand is top notch. I'll continue my campaign run soon since last night I played stoned and I got my ass shot left and right.
