I played a few games online yesterday. They were mostly 'arcade' (not my choice, it was all that was available). We started off with 16 players, hardly anyone could get a kill even on arcade so the game finished up with only 5 or 6 of the original 16 and then only 1 or 2 might get a few kills in 20 minutes. I can't see this game being very popular online to be honest. It's hard to get kill as the damage model is too forgiving and bailing out or crashing does not count as a kill.

half of the european stores don't even know this game exists.... and some state a sept 30th release...

in my town in the netherlands none of the shops knew about this game so I'm importing it from Amazon UK, still sucks to have to wait for it to get here...

I think the publisher has made a big boo-boo, since a lot of stores received their stock late, and some stores don't even know about this game...

i found it much easier to get killsin realistic mode than arcade. i guess reason being you can all turn on a sixpence. the crashing and not counting as kill is an issue though i think

A lot of stores don't even have it yet, and pre-orders are only going out for gamestop and some other online retailers. The game comes out here in the U.S. the 8th, so bestbuy and target and every other game retailer is sending them out the 8th. So not everyone has got their copies yet. Wait a week. In the meantime play the long ass single player.

Very few people will actually buy this game. The game is very, very niche, and appeals to very, very few people. I was going to buy it, but as we got close to release I lost interest in it, and decided not to.
