Nice.

3 Days after release... not enough time to review PS2. But right now I'd give it 9/10. This has been a very smooth launch all things considered, I think.

[J Baley]

I'd have to go with "Insanely positive" I haven't had this much fun since Planetside 1 launched...

love to know what servers they are on as most EU servers screen flash you to death and warp you like mad.

I believe it is West Coast, probably Connery.

I'm worried that because a lot of the "promises" aren't in yet, things are going to be a bit biased. Hopefully they release an action plan/outline for the next 3 months. If they abandon this game, like they did PS1, you can bet reviews are going to turn sour very fast and it will poison the well.

I wouldn't be too worried about that, they don't want to abandon it any time soon as the need to earn their money back first.

I couldn't pay attention to the review because I was too distracted by how over the top kill streak bonuses are. 100 points for a revive+full heal, but 180 points for a kill? Something's wrong there. He did play the KDR route pretty well though, even used the tank LOS correctly.

I'm in love with the game.

And would agree: best XPerience since PS1, war / scale / fun-wise

This is the first "free 2 play" game that I have put any money into and I find myself wanting to put more into it.. which is kinda scary. Actually considering premium to bypass queues even though the queues really aren't terrible.

Most fun I've had in a shooter since maybe Battlefield 2 for me.. since I never played PS1.

[Lieken]

If they played on EU servers during a peak time they would have all been 0/10

Good to see positive reviews.
