"...This, of course, doesn't go down well with the Western Coalition, (comprised of the United States and the European Union)..."

I doubt the EU would ever join the US in war. Except maybe the UK on it's own...

It's not infeasible if you accept the premise of a Sino-Russian alliance (perhaps the more unlikely premise?) on the warpath.

I wonder if there will be any coop modes? Looks great so far.

Why do always MANLY AMERICAN MEN have dirt in their faces? Do they not use soap? Are they too afraid to drop it? (referring to the ridiculous front page picture..)

@ mkreku

I think soap would be fairly down the list of priorities for most in an active war zone.

"Die you motherfu... Hang on a sec. I said hang on a sec. That means STOP SHOOTING! I've got some grease on my jacket."

"Ooh, soak it in hot water first, or it'll leave a stain."

"Nonononono - you need to rub salt into it, then soak it."

"Use white wine or vinegar!"

"That's for red wine you nubbins. Anyone got any Swarfega? I swear I had mine yesterday when I looted some Dove hand cleanser...."

/not a situation seen across Kosovo, methinks

This concept of changing frontlines - taking and retaking positions, sort of reminds me of Domination in CoD4 - but on a much bigger scale, and with a broader variety of toys to do it with.

Which should hopefully be a good thing.

Burnout Paradise (if it is any good) on 25th Jan, this (if it is any good) on 15th February - this all looks bad for my christmas money surviving for long.

Ex-Soviet republics love US even more than UK. Kosovo campaign for their indepedence is really weird, they use the american flag on outdoors.

For those following this one, there's a PC Beta underway right now that will soon be opening its doors a little wider and we have a few more imminent treats in store...

EG TV also has a lot of trailers that explain the Frontline mechanic, infantry role/loadout tactics, vehicles and drones plus the rather stunning trailer that uses hand painted stills to set the scene

RE: Dirty faces ... erm camo anyone?

RE: Like Domination on CoD4. This and domination on CoD4 are both inspired by the Battlefield mechanic. CoD4 domination is a vastly cut down Battlefield mechanic - though still very enjoyable. This is also using Battlefield as it's inspiration - its where the dev already has experience.

This sort of game is a nice complement for CoD4 as it has levels with a much bigger scope. Competion will be coming from Battlefield Bad Company though. Will be interesting to see how they both pan out.

That's weird. Chomsky says life behind the Iron Curtain was awesome, and surely he can't be completely wrong.

When is the review due? Today? I am very tempted to get my order in on Gameplay so it comes in the post tomorrow.
