Who's coming with me?

So I downloaded the demo for xbox and started playing it. Then i looked into it and found out it is coming out for PC as well. Did a little more digging, and the servers are dedicated, as well as much larger for PC. Console is supporting 16 man servers, PC has 32. All you need to do to get a Beta key for this is pre-order it and you get access(atleast through steam). Another advantage to playing it on PC right now versus console is on console you can only access the first set of upgrades, and max out at lvl 2. On P.C you can lvl as much as you want, and get access to everything you can. Although i have a feeling when the game launches you will lose access to the beta character you had, whereas on Console when it launches you can still keep what you have unlocked in the demo.All i gota say is while it is different from MW2, i believe it is better geared for players that want a more realistic combat game. For anyone that has played a battlefield game, most of this wont be news to you, but for the newbs out there, i got the deets your looking for
1. Class system is sweet as hell, especially if diversify.
a.Medics can of course heal, use defibs to bring you back to life, but they are also equiped with the heavy machine gun, which is my favorite gun tbh. Only drawback here is if a tank rolls up on you, you got nothing that will harm it, except rezing your dead engineer friend!
b. Engineers, small silenced smg weapons, but rpgs and the ability to repair tanks make this class awesome for anti-tank/tank crew member..somone just shot ur tank with a rpg? blow em up, then go outside and repair it.
c. Assault. My least favorite to play simply b/c it is the blandest to play. sure they get the accurate automatic weapons, and 203 launchers, and the ability to resupply ammo, but i mean, who needs ammo.
d.Recon. Dont like your team? f em, go solo and snipe. Throw down motion sensors so nobody knifes you in ur favorite sniping spot.
Tanks, Helicopters, both transport and attack, apc's, anti' air vehicles". there is no jeep, but there are small 4 wheelers that go crazy fast and carry 2 people.
Another cool thing is it truly feels like your in a battlefield. Non player made artillery blasts go off in the background, fully destructible buildings. If you are an attacker and chose to spawn at your "Camp", you parachute in. As you are coming in all you see is tracer fire and shrapnel, its amazing.
There are drawbacks too. The controls are a little shaky, but i think they will get smoothed out after Beta. Also, there is no lean
. the knife kind of tracks the person you are knifing, but i think it is to compensate for the shaky handling, and there is no prone. I give this game atleast an 8, and will playing the shit out of it Before, and After release. I already canceled my WOW account in anticipation. so all i need to know is, WHO'S COMING WITH ME! Truth is treason in the Empire of lies!
