That game looks pretty cool.

If anyone else is a fan of RPG's, I strongly recommend Star Wars: The Old Republic. I've been tracking the game since it was announced, an it looks like it's turning out to be awesome. It may even finally be the MMORPG to take down WOW.

Not gameplay (but awesome trailers):

Just another EA FPS. Great looking and better marketing but never grab any bite once released.

Yep, they'll spend $100 million on marketing but their servers till still be garbage.  Pass.

+1. It's just amazing how little development they put into the driving force behind FPSers.

It's been awhile since I've played games online...actually quite awhile...Battlefield 1942 and such.  I know my son plays via PS3 and doesn't seem to have any issues.  What are the problems you are mentioning with EA games and their servers?

Bad Company 2 is a good game.  The servers/network that EA needs in order to support the demand are a huge expense.  Because of that they don't invest in new servers, which means constant server maintenance and lag.

It's much easier to spend a ton of money on marketing and sell games for $50 a piece.  After that who cares if people actually play the game?  EA already has the money.
