Mag, if you have a PS3 then go out and get it. Its available from the 26th of this month and its an absolutely fantastic game to play.
Its a FPS which supports maps for 64, 128 and 256 players. Thats massive. You might think with that many players on the map at once the game would experience some slow down. Nope.
I had the chance to play the BETA for about a week online and the game is great. The only real problem was some clipping issues which I have been told have been fixed. (I hate when you are being fired upon and you hide behind a wall and are still being hit) the problem was only prevelant in certain areas but thats what Betas are for.
The game has 3 factions and each faction has access to different skills, weapons etc.
The game is not just about gettinbg as many kills as possible (but kills do help you gain lots of experience) but by helping your faction to win contracts.
The skills available in game come in a wide variety. Most are essentially weapons and upgrades.
You can really deck out your character for differing roles, generally Snipers, commandos, rapid assault, heavies etc. I chose to go something different and my character is pretty much an anti sniper. I have the skills giving me better stealth, scanner scrambling (some skills allow you to pick up on enemy footsteps and revealing them on the map within a certain area).
Basically I can run through the scrub unnoticed unless physically seen and hide waiting for a enemy sniper to reveal themselves. I dispatch them and move on. I hate snipers.
Anyways there are different mission types and most are basically take and hold. But the variants in that style are cool, especially on 256 player maps.
I really can not recommend this game enough.
