I'm trying to make this choice as well.

I have a fully paid preorder for Republic Commando but I'm thinking about changing my mind and getting Brothers In Arms instead. I think both would be fun and while BIA would probably be more fun in the long run....SW:RC looks good and better than most of the Star Wars games I've bought in the past.

I have about 45.00 in store credit left at EB so I might be getting both but I'd rather save that credit for a later date.

Are one or both of these games on PC? If so, I might grab them.

I got SW:Republic Commando (on order...GameRush is great)....LIVE play seems better.

I think BIA you control a team on LIVE....a team of bots. Only 4 LIVE players online at once.

Since I was told at EB that BIA doesn't come out until tomorrow I went ahead and got my preorder of SW:RC.

It's ok so far but even with the cool weapons and enviroments....I think I like the slower pace of Rainbow Six better. As soon as I clean out an area my squad goes running off. You can order them to holed back, clear an area, etc......but it's the same buttons used to swap add-ons to your weapons. I'll have to take a moment and read the instructions. This game is far more fun than I had with Battlefront but since I saw no fun in that game that isn't high praise.
