Anybody preordered this?
I have high hopes for it, having played the PC version I am getting this solely for the online play.
I can remember when this was going to be a released a few months after the Xbox came out, now it comes out a month before the 360.

I don't like Flashpoint. I want to run up to tanks and throw grenades in hte hatch, not march in formation for 5 minutes.

Flashpoint was an excellent game on the PC, when it was released bloody ages ago. Now Battlefield 2 makes it look boring and dated.
This 'elite' version will have to be frickin amazing to turn my adoring gaze from BF2.

Sadly I wasn't into online gaming when the PC version came out so I feel as though I missed out on a good gaming experience.
This and CoD2 for PC should tide me over until Christmas.

We get it before the Americans, so if I buy it on release I can have a few matches without having to worry about being teamed with US players.

As Borat said, awesome game.
Just it's 5 years old, or so.

Looks like it, yeah.
Let us know what it's like. Maybe it'll end up on my "Want but can't afford it this month" list...

Will do.
A game like this with vehicles and maps that are 100km2 in size I am quite surprised it hasn't got anyone else interested.
Playing on LIVE on a map with 100km2 should be different.

My cash is going on Battlefront 2, so I doubt I'd spend much time on this one. They took way too long getting this game sorted out and on the shelves.

They should have saved it for the 360. An up-to-date shiny uber version would rock.

I love the way they've countered the problem of the game being completely outdated and way too late getting on the shelves.

Balls.
Just went down to my local GAME and couldn't see it on the shelves, asked the guy if they had it in stock and he told me it is not going to be released until next week.
The GAME web-site says it has been released today.
Utter balls.

Got this yesterday, but only just played it this morning.
I have only played one game on LIVE, but that gave me a pretty good feel of the fun that I shall be having with this game.
The map we played consists of two islands, a small island that belongs to the Americans and a large island that belongs to the Russians. It was our mission as the US to go in and rescue some downed pilots from the Russian island and it was the Russians missions to find the pilots and capture them.
On our island we had about 7 choppers, these consisted of Blackhawks and smaller two-man helicopters that had FFAR's on them. First of all it was me an another guy that flew into the island to look for the downed pilot but as we landed to take a look we came under fire from the Russians and died.
Back at base, we decided to take a chopper each and scout the part of the island where we knew the pilots would be, the landscape was a desert so there was no places for us, the Russians or the pilots to hide.
Unfortunately, it was the first time I had flown a chopper so it crashed it whilst scouting over the island and died. I took the gunners seat in a blackhawk whilst we scouted the island again and provided backup for the other choppers around. By this time the Russians had got there hands on some APC's and Tanks so we spent a good 20mins looking for them and blowing them up.
After some time we had used up all our choppers apart from a few so the mission turned into a mass evacuation of all of us trapped on the island. Some went in search for towns to find some vehicles or a plane and others like myself searched the desert for the missing pilots. After nearly an hour of playing I found the first pilot and asked for a lift out of there back to base - some team-mates piled into a blackhawk but came under fire as they were coming to get me so we lost our last chopper meaning half the team was stuck on one island and the other half on the other island.
We could have searched the island for a plane and them took it in turns to fly the pilots back to base but we decided to call it a day.
Bloody addictive and time consuming, what felt like 10mins of play was 80mins.
If you think Halo 2 is as tactical as it gets, don't buy this game.

Op Flash has always been an aquired taste, and in my experience it's only good to play online with friends. If not, there's too many people ready to order you around like you're their little biatch.

A LAW rocket to the face would sort that out.

Have you played Battlefield 2? How does it compare to that?
Because everyone knows Battlefield 2 is the nuts.

Also if you are a graphics wh*re, don't bother buying this game.
If you enjoy playing a game that requires you to think, take cover and plan every move around the enemy - please buy this game so I can chop you up in my chopper blades.

Can't believe non of you have got this.
I have really got into the single player at the moment. Every firefight that you have turns out differently, just now I was ambushed by a truck full of Russians that cut down all of my comrades - I managed to fire an RPG at the truck killing all the Russians but unfortunately taking a bullet to the leg.
Wounded and without any team-mates I had to get to a town to take out a Shilka (Anti Aircraft Gun) which I was able to do - but now I am unable to walk or stand up and am on the outskirts of a town full of Russians and no way to escape.
Excellent single player and an excellent multiplayer to go with it.
