I just bought it yesterday,anyone else pick it up ?

First impressions:

1)Basically a FPS,but you can command a squad qith a dial super-imposed on your screen.

2)Graphics are decent

3)Weapon models are decent as well,but Americas Army is much better detail,animations and recoil effects.

4) I still can't figure out how to look through the scope,I just have a crosshair type thing.Headshots are kinda easy.

5) Havn't played online yet until I figure out how to get all my mouse buttons to work ingame.

Summary: Frusrated with trying to get the controls to work.Seems like a decent game,but not worth the $39.99 to me.Americas Army is still the best  team oriented military FPS out.

Got it on XBOX. Graphics are good and so are weapon models. M16A4 has a TA31F with real reticle and magnification. You can look through all weapon sights, but they really obstruct your view. A few things to bitch about...

1. Levels are WAY too small. Spawn camping is normal, and using an AK74 on full-auto is about the best thing to use.

2.RPG rounds hitting about 3 inches away from a person do nothing.

3.Headshots are VERY normal, and if you arent use to getting shot in the head every time they shoot you, you will get confused or pissed off.

Other than that the co-op is good. I would recomend DOOM 3 over anything though.

I bought the game when it first came out and took it back.  I was really disappointed in the game.

I wish I could do that.I didn't think anyplace would let you return an opened game for a refund/credit.

Gamestop will.  They only give you the current resale price on a the game used.  Generally ~$5 less than retail, kinda like renting it.
