Too bad there are no aircraft in it. I doubt the wright brothers machine would make for very exciting gameplay though!

I picked up my copy at lunch and the map in the box is massive. There is a lake on there so I am hoping for some paddle steamer action

Spent most of the morning in a free-roam standoff against two other players. The landscape is brilliant and you can almost feel the searing heat. Gun action on a par with Uncharted 2.

Are you going to pull that pistol or whistle dixy

I watched a video review and thankfully there does appear to be a Gatling gun vs Mexican army face off.

I am not sure I have enough playstation time to get the most out of this game. It's looking like a minimum 20 hour main game with god knows how many side bits.
I reckon I will be back on il2 before you can say Clint Eastwood

yeah i was hoping my copy would arive today from amazon and i think it would be great if we set a sturmovik posse up

I gave it a good play last night and it's a good game but no BoP. All the time I was playing I was wishing it was in a WW2 setting. That kind of open world multi player landscape set in war torn Europe would be my dream game.
So far my biggest beef with the game is lack of scoped weapons. I haven't seen one yet and the vast landscape is crying out for a sniper rifle.
It's all good fun though. Posses vs gangs works well, especially when some lone player decides to attack the posse. I don't think this will take many people off BoP for long (no need to worry Kav).

I was thinking the same thing about wishing it was war torn Europe, dk. I don't know about you but I found the the mechanics of the game are prettty much identical to GTA with Oblivion-style environments and Uncharted 2 gunplay. I found the Free Roam posse MP very impressive. There are scoped weapons in the game.

Of course this isn't a threat to dyed in the wool BoP folk.
