well they tout the 256 player thing but, from what I understand, you are broken up into squads which makes it more like it is 16 on 16 (or how many ever people are in a squad...I dunno).  Then you have a bunch of squads all fighting it out on a big map for control.  So, imo, the 256 thing is kind of meaningless.  Why do I want to play with a ton of people that I don't know and that I will never see in the same game that I'm in.
 
I guess it is over my head.  I was in the beta and only gave it an hour's chance.  Mainly because I just simply didn't like the feel of the game in general.  I'm interested in seeing what people's opinion on the full game is tho, regardless.

" Kevin VanOrd is usually spot on in his reviews, listen to what he says and you actually get a good sense of what the game is all about.   View it without looking at the score and you'll be pretty satisfied. "

" @handlas: I am more laughing at Gamespot for seemingly always giving a game the lowest score and giving GOTY awards to the video game equivalent of "hipster" and "indie" simply to make themselves look "edgy" or "unique",  mostly out of desperation due to the fact that they lost pretty much all credibility after the fiasco of late 2007.

" I think that's the lowest score it as gotten so far.  Not unexpected from a site that gave Demon's Souls their Game of the Year Award. "

1984 is the only thing that sounds somewhat similar but that ain't it.

this is not the movie but it is the only thing that sounds somewhat similar....1984

mmm maybe only in the form of giving you a really good gun and then taking it away.  Half-life 2 did this I think.  Gave you a gravity gun that killed guys instantly and then took it away.  Killzone 2 gave you a ilghtning gun that killed everything in sight and then took it away. 
 
That's all that comes to mind other than Darksiders, for example, where you start out with all your powers and like 5 minutes later it takes them all away.  But that has happened in a quite a few games.
