For X360, PS3 and of course PC (which everyone should get it on)

Why does it look remarkably like BF Heroes with spiffy graphics?

Only 24 players, 3 classes, and three maps?

I'm pessimistic about the whole thing.

Oh good, another sequel no-one will play and will be forgotten a month after it's release.

Seriously, the series should have stopped with BF2.

it looks like a nice little livearcade/psn title. as long as it doesn't cost too much, I'm in.

Nah, they just shouldn't have spammed the market with BF titles. 2142 was a huge mistake, they should've had a year off and gone for a 2yr cycle.

I'm looking forward to this.
downloadable via XBL, classic maps (wake island!) revamped with bad company engine (destructable!).
battlefield has a pretty decent 360 track record so far... bad company was awesome... what's not to love?!

(I can see how it would be a little underwhelming on PC since there are already a few excellent battlefield games and people are less amenable to small chunks of DLC).

Classic maps? There's 3 of them.

There's only 3 classes.

Unlimited ammo. Recharging health.

24 players maximum.

There's not much Battlefield about it aside from the name.

as i said, it's more palatable when you think of it as an XBLA release and not as a full price standalone title.

and wake island is as classic as they come!

Not really. It was a classic when you had 48-64 players fighting over it. With 12 a side, it's going to feel so damn empty.

interesting point. i wonder if they have changed it at all with that in mind?
it's not too bad though. still enough players to be interesting.
