Got my hands on the multiplayer test that has been distributed to game reviewers and magazines (don't ask)
SWEET MOTHER OF FUCK AND ALL THAT IS HOLY.
This game looks fucking unreal. Runs like the wind with all the details cranked. It's based on the quake3 engine. Graphics quality is gorgeous. There are a ridiculous amount of player skins to choose from (I think the final will have something like 100 in it). Multiplayer games include the usual suspects (deathmatch, team deathmatch, etc.) as well as some new games to try. So far only one map included for obvious reasons (an office complex where one team has to swipe a package of documents and make it to a helicopter for extraction, the other team defends at all costs). You get your choice of a primary AND secondary weapon, on top of a pistol, grenade and accessory (armor, night vision goggles, etc.). FINALLY. A game with up to date weapons. You can not only pistol whip someone but use your secondary weapon (i.e. shotgun) to bash in someone's skull. You can throw knives just like in the first SOF. There are standard weapons profiles for a variety of different team roles (sniper, soldier, commando and amusingly enough thug). Furthermore it seems like they REALLY paid attention to details with the configuration settings that are available...even though this is a test it seems you have access within the game to a lot of options you normally need to hack into other games.
I so can't fucking wait until this thing is out there for real. I'd be happy to send this to whomever is interested so that we can get some multiplayer action going until the real thing is out there. This looks like it could take over the throne from MOH as the crack rock of choice for FPS junkies.
Screenshots to follow.
