I think Free said it was a couple hundred megs initially, tho it actually reports something like its going to be 4gb. I'll try and do some more research and find out exactly. Atm there's no way that I know of to host local downloads.

For the retards among us there's even a class that has 'built in wallhacks'.
There's Aussie servers(at least 10 I know of).
About 380Mb - no mirrors

Unless I'm missing something obvious then you are all welcome to mock me as you point me in the right direction

try using xfire and save them to your favourite servers.
and btw where can I download this? It is free isnt it? would be great for the next LAN.

It downloads about 300-400megs and to my surprise it was downloaded from iinet's freezone (probably 3fl).
It is a massively noob friendly game, so much so that you don't have a great deal of control over initial server choice. Luckily for me I was randomly allocated a GA server and I bookmarked it (press tab+f5 in game), now I can goto the options tab and choose a book marked server.
The error message are a bit vague though, eg: We couldn't connect you to the server at the moment, try again later.
I think that was because the server was full...
The gameplay itself is normal FPS, the vehicles are very kiddy though. Planes are next to useless except as quick transport, they need bombs on them.
It is good as a game to play with the younger ones if you have them, if you don't .. well play L4D and whatnot :D

Articuz, you can't download it to run on LANs and I'm not sure you will be able to in future.
Currently it's only EA BF partners(whatever the fuck it's called) that can run servers, and you need to use the big Play Now button on their site to fire it up.
People will probably find ways around most things so they can play it and run servers on LANs etc., but it obviously won't be ranked and you wouldn't have your unlocks, since that info isn't stored locally from what I can tell so far.

Just like The GuVna, I keep getting auto-kicked for high ping, so I've only had the chance to play it for 30sec intervals :( This game seriously needs an in-game server browser! Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions to work around the matchmaking system?
Besides this seriously infuriating issue I think this game has potential as a casual game to be played every now and then, plus it's free.
