So only at the end do people actually get to participate in the large-scale battle?

Meh. I was hoping for a console version of Battlefield but I guess that's not what we're getting. I loved the original 1942... One of the best LAN games of all time if you could pack 60+ people into the same room.

There's this awesome place about 3 blocks away from me called Monsters Den that has a room filled with 360's on a LAN, you can have great MP parties and smack talk in person! It brings me back to my days dragging my PC over to my friends houses for Unreal Tournament parties. We had this one guy who got real pissed, so he had to put his machine in a back bedroom with a 100 ft cable. You could just hear him cursing all the time! He was terrible too.

3-4 times a year I used to go to a LAN party that got anywhere from 50-80 people in the same room... attached to a bar. It was the greatest LAN experience ever because you had to be 18 to go and almost everyone was over 21. We played Battlefield a few times there and it was HILARIOUS. One guy, Grant, used to always man a battleship when given the opportunity. Nothing is funnier than watching ~30 players shit themselves when he yelled "FIRE!" because everyone on the island knew the battleship was fully manned and that hell itself was about to rain its fury across the beach. Then there were the fighters, bombers, etc... just a fantastic game that allowed everyone to do exactly what they wanted and have fun doing it.

Then by 3-4pm, everybody started getting drunk and that's when the REAL fun began...
