replyI'm playing the PS3 beta and it's a lot of fun. I'm ignorant about console FPS for the most part, but have played PC FPS games and this would be good in any genre. It's taken a while for a keyboard/mouse guy to get comfortable with the controls, but I'm getting the hang of it now. Gamewise, it's very much like the other BF series. Tanks aren't overpowering in the current map due to limitations on where they can roll and the strength of the anti-tank weps. The environments are all destructable, which is my first exp with that in a FPS and it's VERY fun. You can topple a building and ruin a sniper hideout or kill all the campers inside. Wep ballistics are in place such that there's travel time and snipers have to consider trajectory.
TLDR: It's very fun on the PS3-

The one map we had access to is more like stalingrad from bf1942 I'd say. It is open, but not huge spaces. There's lots of places to enter, stake out, and blow up. I'd say it's also well designed in terms of providing a lot of cover for fighting....blow out cars, dumpsters, walls...all of which are destructible. Funny from beta for me was hiding behind a big dumpster with a RPG trying to take out a tank. He knew I was there and was firing on the dumpster, which slowly crumpled before he took me out.

The map is huge on the PS3 beta. The beta has been awesome. It starts out massive and as you blow the crates the map expands... It's an awesome game mode, probably the best I've ever played. Anyway as the map expands it goes into a smaller town, then to a railroad, etc. The play style changes as the map moves on. Very cool.
