Time to buy an XBOX360?

For me it's several things. The way you can customise your player. It's not simply a case of picking what weapon you want to use. As you progress and level up, you open up new weapons and perks which you can use to craft your character in a way that suits your style properly. You can choose perks which give you more health, which let you shoot harder and through more surfaces (shooting people through walls is fun!), which let you pull out your pistol and fire off some rounds before you die, and so on. You can tailor your guy exactly how you want to. Not only that, but the 3 maps included in the beta all feel right for me. The enclosed spaces of Vacant where battles generally fall in 2 areas, meaning close range powerful guns like the Mp5 or shotgun reign supreme. There's the variety of Crash which has plenty of ways around the map giving you options to sneak around and backstab people if you know the map well enough. And then there's the wide open spaces of Overgrown where you can try to find a nice quiet spot and snipe people.

Add to that a kill cam, so that whenever you die you see the last few seconds of your life through the eyes of your killer. This helps not only in helping you pin down where he was, but may also show you mistakes you've made, perhaps in popping your head out too far or similar.

And that's just a small taste of what the game has to offer. I can't wait to try the full game just to see what improvements have been made

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
