There is dedicated server support, though these are restricted to EA servers for the beta. I suspect it will be a similar arrangement to that of BC2 - only 'official' providers will be able to run dedicated servers.

I played for about an hour earlier, and I haven't seen anything that makes me think it's better than BC2 or COD4 right now. Very deathmatch-like, little/no teamwork required.

Played for a while. Didn't like the level I played...was too open so had become a sniper fest. Other than that the game shows potential, more CoD than BC2, but with a lot of elements from the latter like spawning on other players.

I gave up downloading when the size to download went from MBs to GBs.  My line can't handle it, will have to wait to play the released version :(

That having been said it just finished the download.  Played some just now and I quite liked it.  In particular guns seemed to shoot where you aimed (which is unusual imo) and it played quite smoothly at 2560x1600 so is obviously not a gpu hog.  What I did not like where the terrain glitches, but I guess they iron those out in the beta.  Overall 7/10.

It was a little sniper happy on the map I played but after a little learning of map soon sorted that out.  It is pretty but it is fast and I am not to sure how tactical the game will be.  I take it is the same old story about the dedicated servers?
