    I think this is from a group of BF modders who made a sim mod for BF. They then decided to build a new game from the ground up in a new engine. That was the impression I got. A group of modders making their first game with good coding experience.

    Yeah, the majority of the group is from Project Reality which was a big mod for BF2. They decided that they wanted to create a stand alone game now that BF2 is outdated where they could have full control over what was in the game and how it was implemented.

    I pulled a stead 60 even in the urban areas. I don't the settings maxed out, but it's a lot better then arma.

    I think I can afford this one game for the next couple of months as I only have 40 bucks or so to spare.

    So I might pick it up this week.

    I noticed that @Phaedo and @WargruntVS have this on their wishlists. Care to join me? :D

    I checked it out when it first released and feel it has a ton of potential but also needs a lot of work. The performance was a killer for me. Maps with a large player count performed very poorly, though I understand they've made some improvements there. It could be a great game though, the audio is great, visuals pretty good and the core of the game is there. I like the focus on teamwork and that key bindings and game systems aren't overly complicated so it's easy to get into. Overall I think it's best to hold off for a bit and see where development goes. The game needs more content and polish before it's worth a buy IMO. Given the size of the dev team, I'm afraid to see another potentially great game never really get finished.
