I thought the game is a poor rip-off of World in Conflict.

The options are to run AvP in DX 9 or DX 11; there is no DX 10 option, so if you want DX 10 you just run the DX 11 executable and stuff you can't handle get turned off automatically.

I think there will be more buzz over the Summer when the game is more feature complete.
As it stands, it is actually pretty enjoyable. I must need medical attention.

I missed out on the beta; I've heard good things about it. I was a fan of BF2 but not BF2142 (northe expansion. Is BC2 good?

Everything negative that's been said is sadly true. They removed all of the advanced aspects of the original game (the economy, experimental units, defenses) and dumbed them down and simplified them for the consoles. Sad, this.

The only way Ubi is going to reconsider is if the games (Settlers 7 and AC2) sell poorly on the PC.
Money is the only thing that matters.
There was uproar about the lack of dedicated servers and Steam requirement in Modern Warfare 2, and there was no effect on sales, so why give into empty gamers' demands?

Multiplayer is fun, if you are not having connection issues due to the lack of dedicated servers for the time being.
Single player is crap.

Even at 50% off, IL-2 is a better option (especially for only $10.
My Wings of Prey review is going up in a week..the only thing it does better is multiplayer: matchmaking is included in-game and two unique modes (capture the airfield and strike ground targets) are nice.
Everything else is worse off or identical: highly scripted and linear missions, less planes to fly, same physics

Yeah I'm hopeful that BF3 will be PC only. 64 players, planes trains and automobiles!

Battlefield 3 will have trains?! Awesome!

can I assume since there are no dedicated servers there is still a server browser?

There is a server browser for non-ranked games, with people hosting their own server (at the moment until dedicated servers are released).

Ranked games puts you in a lobby and matches you up automatically, with one person acting as host.

[melee] Even for single player?

Indeed.

I enjoyed the demo, so I like the game, as much as I have played it (LOST was on last night so it reduced my available gaming time). Infestation is a fun MP mode (one alien vs. everyone else marines, killed marines become aliens).

Actually I'm surprised there are no reviews up already.

Most small/indie companies don't provide early review copies. You will see reviews the day a game comes out when it has been gold for a couple weeks (for manufacturing time) and gold masters are sent out to a few select sites; this usually only happens with retail releases from major publishers.

Sometimes a site will post a review based on a beta build and pretend it's the retail release, since the differences between the last beta and a release candidate are typically small (bugs and whatnot).

Most of the time, I get a game the same day it comes out, although there are a couple of publishers (Paradox, Battlefront, some PR companies) that get me stuff before it is released.

I don't know what review sites are respectable and which aren't these days apart from Sphinx and Out of Eight, both of which are, ahem, minimalist (i.e. have bugger all content as they're one guy operations).

Out of Eight clearly falls in the "not respectable" category...that guy has no idea what's he talking about.

The Out of Eight Global Agenda Extravaganza of Reviewingness is going up Monday, by the way. The game has already been uninstalled

You have to buy the game. The conquest game is an additional monthly fee on top of the initial purchase price. The regular shooter part is "free" once you give them $40 (or whatever it is).
Conquest is only worth it if you are in a clan.

I've had no issues with CoP during my reviewing process. It is also the best of the series. Though if you have previous versions and didn't care for them, you won't care for this either. And if you do have previous versions, you probably got it already anyway.

SPOILER ALERT: here the header from my review that's going up in a week:
Good: Large game world with many missions, realism requires tactics to survive, numerous weapons and items to modify and upgrade, less restrictive than previous titles, multiplayer, intelligent AI, nice use of the setting
Not So Good: High level of difficulty in a lethal world, vague objectives, lots of walking, interface could be improved, inconsistent game performance, terrible flashlight
