...it's very good.

Never having played a Battlefield game besides the free PC title (Battlefield Heroes) I wasn't so sure what to expect. In fact, I was expecting to play it a couple of times, hate it, and delete it, as shooters are one of my least favourite gaming genres of today.

Geez was I wrong, I've probably clocked nearly ten hours of the demo over the past week or so and aside from myself screaming "WHAT?? I Shot You First!!!" at the very beginning of my BF:BC2 demo career, I can't seem to stop playing.

The demo features a map (Port Valdez)coupled with the Rush game mode, muiltiplayer of course. If you can get into a squad this is likely some of the most fun you'll have in any shooter today. Teamwork is highly encouraged in the game, and rewarded, unlike other noteworthy titles of the genre. The four classes are each unique and are capable of contributing a handful of useful tools to maximize the efficieny of a team. Environments are very destructible, aside from the framework or buildings there is little that you can't blow up with your Apache helicopter or mow down with a mounted machinegun.

Graphics seem fine enough, framerate runs smoothly, and there are only several minor bugs I've run into. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't downloaded the demo off PSN or XBL to get off your computer and do that right now! I'll see you in game.
