I think it's got great potential but it's a totally different style game from COD... all the issues I've seen in the beta should be easy fixes. The main pain with the beta is 1. finding a server that doesn't lag, otherwise you can empty a full clip into someone only to have them turn a pop you with one or two shots (no ping guide when browsing servers in the beta so you have to guess a bit) and 2. finding players playing as a team- (that's getting easier to find now that it's been out a couple weeks) once you find both of those its a blast especially with the destructable environment. Sniper in a window of a concrete wall? Blow the wall and sniper away with your rpg! nice Campers on the 2nd floor? c4 the walls and bring the whole building down lol... Drive trough trees & fences with your tank... People actually reviving you, fixing your vehicle & dropping off ammo w/o even requesting it... very nice. You won't get far going lone-wolf that's for sure. I'll still be playing COD5 for my run and gun fix for now but BC2 will be a nice change of pace.

Other issues I hope they tweak- Coming from our war server it feels like you are running in slow-mo sometimes, FOV is too narrow so it's hard to see people around you in close-quarters, some of the early weapons feel pretty weak but that could be lag too.

I've also heard the "beta" is actually a couple months old build and most of the common complaints have been fixed so I'm hopefull it will be in pretty decent shape when it's released.
