I joined S.V.E.R. I like being the underdogs and the fact they are more steath like in their approach to a situation.
Your right about the game though after level 10 it really opens up and the graphics never bothered me once. Im going the path of a full sniper with maybe claymores and some points into electronics to prevent people trying to sneak up on me when im sniping. hehe.
I must admit i dont like the domination that much but enjoy the sabotage game mode. Looking forward to the full game and trying the other modes.
