Having missed the closed beta, I dove into the open beta for an hour and a bit tonight.
Bloody loved it.
Did a few side missions, wandered around, appreciated all the additional unlockables/collectibles and the slightly crazy vehicle handling. Co-op was also very, very easy to set up and good fun.
Day one for me this is now.

I know I said I wouldn't after the closed, but the open beta is now trickling onto my HDD. I blame the hat chat, gotta respect the headgear.

Aye, it's all pretty good, as I remember from the auld auld yins on PS2. Dunno if I can justify full whack on it. Anyone up for a "when we see it at £25 we'll all buy it and do a co-op run" pact?
Advanced Warfighter was the one I played the most and at this stage I'd say it's not really that much like it. But it certainly feels different to most current shooters and I think it's down to the more realistic damage and the need to take your time a bit.
The font colours are the same though.
Yeah I'd say this one is a bit of both, though more of the former series. Also a little MGS V thrown in there too. Could be way off but I calls it hows I sees it.
I'm day one mother fucker. £35 off that Tesco deal from ages ago.
Best laugh is I played five minutes on the demo and wasn't feeling it. The cover mechanic feels odd. I do enjoy dressing up my guy though, so I'll definitely squeeze some joy out if it.
I've got to say, this is diabolical in single player. Why don't my team shoot anyone outside of the sync shots? The choppers and back up jeeps are also a bit of a fun tax if you just want to scoot about and shoot stuff too.
