PlanetBattlefield have put up their preview of BF2, from what they saw at E3. My god does it sound fucking amazing.

As the chopper entered the field of view inside the anti-air vehicles a little green box appeared over it. Anyone who has played a flight sim will know what this is, a missile lock box. But he explained this was not truly a 'fire and forget' weapon system by any means. You still require skill and know how to take down such a birds that will be buzzing around. First you must acquire missile lock within the inner circle of the HUD. This will not be an easy task. Also, let me just say this aircraft in the game will have the latest counter measures. Including flares and chaff to defeat those annoying missile locks. The pilot will also hear an audio tone lock warning once they have been targeted. Just watching the chopper disperse flares that lit up like fireworks falling to the ground was the sweetest of eye candy. Again, words fail me to truly describe how it looked. You could watch the missiles from the Tunguska following the flares as they fell. But the chopper can only hold so many flares before depleting them all.

Yummy :D

The bullets act as they would in real life and penetrate the wood and break it. So, you no longer will feel safe behind anything in this game or you will find yourself dead rather quickly. As Lars said, "No more will a person be able to hide in a small weapons shack and survive a tank fire fight". We can all appreciate this new addition to the game environment. I know I look forward to blowing stuff up!

Oh yes.

I saw a couple a while ago but they were ruined by the poor frame rate that the computer was producing. Couldn't really get any sort of feel of the game from them. Annoying when they test a very nice looking game on what seems to be quite a poor computer.
