[Whitey]

I'm thinking about buying this.  

Anyone else pre-ordered it?

[Armitage]

I'm going shopping saturday :boxing:

[BrotherTobious]

Yeah also thinking about getting it!

[Zootoxin]

Looks ace and will be tactical...

Would love to play this uber seriously.

Got 83% in PC Zone(or gamer I forget which) - review basically says potentially excellent but has some annoying AI issues which need sorting - hopefully will be patched soon.

As a huge fan of OFP i'm also looking at this and also OFP2 - would be cool if we could get a dmw server for it if theres enough interest obviously.

Update already out for it:
