THEY HAVE OPENED CASPIAN BORDER ON PC laugh

 

Now this is what Battlefield is all about…. tanks, jets, helicoptors and 64 player battles… after being thouroughly disheartened by Metro this has put it right back at the top (well number 2… Skyrim is well and truly at the very top) of my must have list.

 

Cancelling my Xbox order and pre-ordered it on PC through Origin laugh

 

Go try it quick… its bloody brilliant!

Haha!  The whole ground is transparent at the moment… which is somewhat disorientating when navigating a tank with nothing underneath you… its still utterly fantastic though laugh

It does look look fucking lovely on my awesome PC, but I still think I will get it on 360, because that is where most of my online friends play. I may get it on PC when it goes a bit cheaper, if only to see how awesome it looks.

It really is plenty of fun however:

 

Jets are useless… Now im not saying im a really good pilot, and the fact i can't change the controls for the jet makes it almost impossible to fly. But those few minutes i do get to glide around shooting at things…. it really is impossible to kill anything. You don't have any bombs or any weapons other than the minigun (so that pretty much writes off killing anything on the ground) and Air to Air combat… while thrilling, can be a really long slug fest normaly resulting in no satisfaction. You can do 99% damage to the enemy vehical…. then they jump out and let the jet crash = ZERO points to you and a waist of your precious time! This is all assuming that all the engineers with heat seeking missiles, Anti Air tanks and fixed AA don't shoot you down in the process.

So yeah it may be a bit of a moan…. but after spending over an hour in the jets, I have got a grand total of 300 points and zero kills. Utterly disappointed frown

Normally i would say inverted controls in a jet would be fine… but it really throws your head around when uve just gone from normal push up to look up fighting into push up to move down flying!
