Played it last weekend (Gave 3 day pass to a friend) on a 60" screen. 1st off, Huge Screen + FPS = Bad Idea. You can't take it all in and are constantly killed by someone outside of your direct vision.
As far as the game. All 3 of us agreed, and it echoes what is already said here.
Looks - Amazing
Skill Requirment - Pretty solid.
Depth - Plenty of Strategic Depth , but lack of weapons/equipment made it feel pretty 1 dimensional
We were left feeling like you got the beautiful shell of a game. An Analogy would be the ET:QW Mod someone was working on for tribes. IF he "finishes it" , we will get 2 maps, 1 Armor, 1 Weapon, Grenades and mines. If thats all we had of original tribes, it would not have felt like nearly a complete game.
Hopefully modders fall in love with the POTENTIAL this game has, and expand its Horizons. :P
Anyways, for $20 its a great deal, and I would buy it tomorrow, except I need $600 in Upgrades to even play the game. So I Guess I am waiting until next year sometime, or I get a nice fat bonus I can blow on a New PC.
Hopefully the game grows instead of dies by then. I think it could have just what Many are looking for in an FPS. Something Different (a la tribes), with heavy teamwork requirments/rewards, and not just another WWx or Modern Day FPS.
