my friend Daniel already played it and says it sucks, but Im gonna try it out myself before I jump to any conclusions lol

taking forever is an understatement haha. Joining groups and then playing is the fasted way to do it, but its still slow (about a 3-4 minute wait for me when I was in a group of 5). It is fun, though, and it can only get better once you get used to the controls. I just hope server reliability and connection issues are ironed out before retail release because starting a game is so slow at the moment.

On the other hand, BFBC2 still rocks
