I may have worded it poorly - I was trying to say that although BH is great, it doesn't stand a chance of dethroning any of the juggernauts like TF2. Martin, I totally agree.

If you're in the wrong class (like gunner), expect to be spending half the time running around on foot to try & find the action. And as cool as shooting down a plane sounds, it will never happen in-game. Ever. Its a pretty genius model, I've thought "maybe I should spend the $5 so my character can have a pirate hat", but in the end you have to spend it all on health and renewing the guns that're 5% better than the defaults. Its a great game, and its seen huge improvements. I just don't want it over-hyped, because its good, but not "OMG! TF2 is done!" good. Nic is completely right.

Character are basically un-customizeable without paying money. Gameplay is mediocre because I think the classes can easily play themselves in a way where the other classes can't really counter. For example: On a large map the only way for a soldier/gunner to take out a sniper is to take a tank over there. But if you spawn in the middle of the map where only one tank spawns you can easily be left without one. Oh and did I mention that snipers can cloak...(solely distance based) Vice-versa on a small map the sniper is less effective the closer you get leaving the sniper with a knife or a pistol. Although the knife is also extremely buggy. IMO, serious flaws that need to be worked out before a release. I would call it 1.0, but the weird thing is their version number is past 1.0 but still in beta. It’s alright. Character are basically un-customizeable without paying money.
