Flashpoint anyone play yet?

Saw this at the local s/w store, looks awesome, but ever since I changed mobo's and had to buy a 3com pci gamer modem,(instead of my old trusty modemblaster56k ISA) I can't play anything online, sux.
Hopefully, our house will be sold this year, then I can join you guys in broadband land!

Yep I got it 2 weeks ago. I'd say it's very realistic and probably a very good combat sim. It's complex in terms of a number options and things you can do. It's very easy to die in the game too, after you get killed a few times and have to replay half the mission you start to play like by real world rules ie. shooting prone or from the hip, crawling around instead of walking striaght up ...
I like the fact that you can drive/fly anything in that game. I liked the fact that you can occupy any posistion in the tank crew. I thought it was awesome to see computer AI rotate the commender turret and scan for targets and give orders to the AI gunner all while you drive.

A few things I really hate about the game:

1, Very choppy game engine.

2, AI can see you NO matter where you hide, EG, you will be around 500m away hiding behind a bush, using your sniper rifle ( way cool BTW ) and they can see you and pin point a head shot at you from this distants .

3, No stealth missions so to speak, sure you can sneak around in some of them but again, they KNOW you are there.

4, Lighting is of very, very poor quality.

5, Trees look like crap, and thats puting it nicly.

6, Very choppy game engine.

7, Very choppy game engine.

I tried to play it online, but there its just way to confusing to play as half the time you dont really know what the hell is going on.

Death match online though is ok and CTF.

IMO, I would give it 6/10 all up. And thats being nice.
