After sixteen minutes of play, I can give you my "first impressions:"

I thought it felt a lot better than the Beta did, but I felt a bit underwhelmed by some of the sound effects. I only played the campaign for like two minutes. I still hate the Battlelog system and how it is completely detached from the game so be ready to alt-tab a lot. My biggest complaint has to be the absolute size of the chat box. When people type in the server, it's worse than anything I've seen - the chat box takes up a large portion of the screen.

I have yet to see a Jesus flashlight, but overall - I'm ready to hop back in right now, so I'd say that's a good sign.

GTG, I heard that alot of people via pc version are still getting errors.

I did during beta I just hope that it stopped there.

Ooh, first impressions.

I've got a bit more than a half hour logged in multiplayer, and 3 missions into single player, do here are my thoughts.

Multiplayer: Battlelog is still odd, but seems to work okay, even with the whole "launch game through browser" aspect of it. Some servers are great, others lag pretty badly (but are still quasi-playable) Weapons are working the way they should (or they at least seem that way) People go down if you shoot them in the face, and you do the same. Not as many silent, directional, perpetual flash-bangs (aka, tac-lights) as in the beta (they're still bright as all hell, just fewer of them around) All in all, it works, is fun on a good server, and should only get better as patches fix things.

Single player: Starts off with jumping onto a moving train, and proceeding to kick-ass. Interesting way of going through the story, it leads you up to everything you'll be doing (so far) and seems like it'll be a pretty decent story once I get farther along. No lag (yay) and my recommended settings are high accross the board, save for textures (ultra) and MSAA (16X) It runs well, load times aren't crazy, and the levels/missions seem pretty big for the load times. I'm liking it do far.

my guess is a video card driver should fix a few things, but every so often, my video freezes up and I have to restart the game.

Multiplayer is awesome. Bigger maps, lots of vehicles, way cool stuff. I can't wait to get into a chopper. My only concern is the idea that anyone can be carrying an anti-air missile on their person at any given time... Why have air vehicles anyway?

Second balance issue I see is ground vehicles seem to be way too protected against the default rocket launchers. It took me 3 rockets to take out a Van yesterday with a mounted machine gun on top...all the while, the guy was peppering my location with bullets... that's ridiculous. Maybe if I unlock other rocket launchers, that might get better, but it just seems unbalanced that with a default kit, I can't seem to take out vehicles with an anti-vehicle class. Maybe this will translate into the shoulder fired anti-air and it won't be easy for 1 person to take down a chopper...not sure on that one.

The game is gorgeous, the maps and landscapes are fantastic. Overall, it's a blast. There's plenty of run and gun, with room for stalking or vehicle play...play anyway you want.

Singleplayer-
Pros: Beautiful landscapes, a few very cool missions, rat stabbing and jet riding

Cons: Lack of intelligent AI, straightforward storyline, lackluster and annoying cutscenes, invisible models

Multiplayer-
Pros: Awesome landscapes and maps. Massive immersive gameplay. Loads of fun flying choppers and driving tanks with squaddies.

Cons: Jet-whores with IR Flare spam

Overall: Great game but has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out, on both battlelog and the game itself.

I'm working at getting a computer to play this. I was in mumble with you guys yesterday when you were playing, and it was like crack! I wanted to get back into it!
