I picked up the game yesterday. It's an average game at best. I had it at GameRush also. The graphics are decent (but I'm playing on a 55" screen). I played two single player missions, they were ok...nothing great.
LIVE play was ok at best too. The game kept saying "THIS GAME IS NO LONGER IN SESSION" but it was and it kept going. I also got disconnected once, it said my network cable was unplugged. Not sure if that was a BHD problem or my wireless router (I have it hardwired though)
So, overall...the game is average....there wasn't really much lag in BIG battles....but that annoying message I kept getting sucked....and it wasn't just me.

The live play is pretty fun once you actually conect to a game. It usually takes me 5-10 tries to get connected to a game without getting the error message. The battlefield is pretty chaotic though. Enemies are hard to spot and seem to come from nowhere on the big maps.

I'm not sure if people are playing the campaign mode but am I the only one who thought it went from trivial to frigging impossible. Once the "real" BHD mission began I can barely turn a corner w/o getting sniped from unknown locations. Each mission now almost takes as long as all the missions leading up to "Irene" put together

I had to trade in this game. The sigle player missions are poorly designed, if you go the wrong way in some missions you automatically fail.
Some as you said are just inssanely confusing and difficult. One of the missions toward the end I was supposed to run along and protect a convoy, I don't think I ever got more than 30 seconds in before the convoy was destroyed by .50cal and rpg fire.

What a shame since this seem to have allot of promise at the start. I had a bad feeling when it was delayed for a long time while not much was said of how the game was coming along. I'm going to start paying more attention to what's up with games on the 360 since I'm sold on it.
