Will someone please, please.. I beg you... .take this game from me. I went to bed at 4:00 am, because there was no way we were going to let the other team beat us. Yes.. this was after starting at 11:00 pm.

This game is phenomenal. What team fortress 2 was supposed to be, but someone beat them to the punch.

Picture this:

An all out war scenario.

You can..

1) do anything like a regular FPS (this weapon, that weapon)

2) you can be one of several classes (scout, medic, engineer, assault). Each with different weapons.

3) Command ANY vehicle or weapon (gunships, carriers, apc, jeep, tank, artillery, planes)

etc..

simply awesome.

Now, if I could just get some sleep..

You have the road to rome montoya? Its a pretty good expansion. Rocket launching tank things, howitzers, can't beat it. I just wish they'd make a kamikaze unit. Like if you can fly the plane into a ship, the ship dies, but the plane is like extremely hard to drive. That'd be awesome :).

plane manoeuvring is an extreme sport... it takes ages to learn and you're never sure to use either keyboard or mouse..
Now I am able to pass underneath most large enough bridges, and shoot (not bomb) people on the ground...

But I prefer my jeep :beam:

is it multiplayer? If so, how is the online connection service? (Better than the zone.com that was used to host Rogue Spear?)...

you can set up dedicated servers, it doesnt have to be on gamespy, but gamespy lists them and manages too...
If you have a REALLY good computer (maybe a cluster) with a T-x connection then you can host a 64-people server...
mmhhhhh.... Iwo Jima....
