If BoP was only 4v4 MP with an extremely restricted flight ceiling and boundary then it would almost be as bad as Dragon Rising.

I love tactical shooters and they're extremely rare these days but DR just looks like a mess at this point. They're marketing has been absymal: releasing pre-rendered video and "screenshots" and passing them off as in-game by being vague, making promises and ridiculous claims we now know they cannot back-up and constantly piggy backing Operation Flashpoint's name.

Why you would buy it on console with no mission editor, only 2 game modes with only 4 maps and a maximum of 8 real players is beyond me. The DLC will be priced afaik but then I guess the people who are willing to put down €50/60 for a game with the above content are willing to be fleeced.

The PC version is just a port of the console game with a built-in player cap of 32 with the same hard-wired restrictions on map size. But the real nail in it's coffin is no dedicated server files.

Rent it. Finish the campaign in a weekend and save your money for something better.
