I just wanted to say this game totally rocks, it's amazing and too addicting. They have totally nailed the 2nd world war theme/setting and in my opinion have done it better than any other developer before them. The maps are really well executed, some people have complained about the graphics being outdated, being someone that doesn't play games unless it has great graphics i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail that has gone into this game (playing on Ultra), i'd never heard of tripwire before but i'll definitely be looking out for anything developed by them in the future. It's the best FPS i've played period. The maps have a lot of atmosphere, reminds me a lot of the movie 'Enemy at the Gates'.
As for bugs etc, i've probably put about 20hrs into this game and it has only crashed back to the desktop once which isn't bad, apart from that i haven't noticed any bugs while playing although the game has updated itself a few times so tripwire must be working really hard behind the scenes crushing any bugs that made it after the Beta.
Also the sound is worth a mention, the music and the sound effects are all top notch, when you start a round and hear all your Russian comrades shouting as you rush towards enemy lines it's really moving or when you shoot someone and hear them screaming in agony actually makes you feel a little bad for killing them, little things like this really make the game stand out.
I was really looking forward to Battlefield 3 but honestly speaking i can see myself spending more time with this game or my time being spread out equally between the two....never thought i'd be saying that, it's quite a shock but i sincerely mean it.
Once again a big thank you to Tripwire for giving me the type of game that i've always wanted.
