after playing the leaked version for few weeks, i'm impressed how good this game simulates a near-real-life battle field experience... unlike mohaa, it's not just about u, it's about the team work. unfortunately, it's still a bit buggy and i sometimes crashed to desktop out of blue... good game indeed!
