Weapons are great. A tad bit too aracadey but it is addictive. The maps are the best CQB maps ive seen in any fps game. The graphics are amazing and it runs like butter on my pc
(xp 2500, 6800gt,1.5gb ram) all of this and its free. Congrats Sierra.

It was good when I bought it so I'm glad there'll be more people to play with now :). That was the main thing about the multiplayer before was finding a good server.

I think the maps suck. They look like straight single player missions ported to multiplayer without any thought of gameplay. A lot of the rooms are dead ends, which is quite annoying. Overall though, I do think it is a good game. Or for me, a brief break from Quake ATM. ;)

I played it for about 45 minutes. I haven't played any MP FPS games in at least two years so I was VERY out of practice. I didn't really like the maps, they didn't seem like they were made for MP.
The weapons are cool but in the games I played you couldn't switch weapons. Maybe that's not allowed at all.
I may try and play some more but my first experience wasn't great.

you have to die to swtch weapons and you have to do it through the game menu.
at least thats how it was with the full version.

i guess thats how it is with ctf. i don't remember if you could pick up guns from dead enemies though. deathmatch you can pick up different guns.
