Ok first impressions.
Yes the world is pretty bland and static.. In every regard I mentioned in previous posts above still hold true. Bar odd window everything in the world is indestructible and covered with the best anti explosion veneer. Seriously last gen world.
But... even though it's not 1080p it's 792p or some such it actually doesn't look low res. In fact generally resolution is not an issue with it. Sure higher would make it crisper but it's pretty crisp as it is.
Gameplay wise... It is indeed great fun and I have already won some challenges and ranked upto level 5 only after 4 matches. I can see myself playing it for good while. It's first multi player game I can see myself spending time on since Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on Xbox 360.
It does seem balanced. I was able to parkour upto a titan and blow it's brains out (very satisfying) and I enjoy the cloaking system.
In all it does seem very balanced even for my play style which is more going for rewards rather than frag kills. I managed to get to top of my team leader board without having most kills but for keeping & capturing bases etc.. scoring more that way.
It's very arcade like and yes.... I will now indeed reinstate my pre-order with Amazon.
It's not upto the Hype, I don't think any game could live upto the hype this title has, but it's solid arcade fun.
Certainly not a system seller on its own, but if you are a Xbox owner and want a dose of solid arcade multi player then it fulfills the brief.
It's an early summer movie... mindless, a little shallow character and story wise (heck there is none) but it's entertaining and the sound in particular is very good, especially with a DTS system cranked up.
Oh and there was no trace of LAG in the games I played.
