Best $15 dollars I've spent in a while.

Based on the fact that this game is $15, and a quick download it's awesome. If you played BF2 on PC, that's what it is. Looks like a dumbed down BF BC engine. That's not saying it looks bad, because it doesn't. When it first came out, there were some server issues that made it difficult to join a game and stay in the same squad as your friends. That apparently has been fixed because I haven't had any problems lately.
Classic battlefield conquest play. Three classes that are for the most part well balanced. Good vehicles, good maps. Though there are only three maps (with a 4th-plane only map on the way), they are big enough to have a unique experience based on how you want to play it. Lag is almost not an issue, but I have noticed twice...out of 40 games. The only thing I don't like is there is no weapon upgrades for ranking up. Which has always been in a BF game. On the pluss side of that, no one has a clear advantage over you. I still think it would have been nice.
So, while there is a bit of a lul in good shooters out right now get this game. Well worth it, and it should keep you satisfied for a couple months. There are a ton of people playing it already.
