    So I'm considering downloading this from PSN but I have heard so many horror stories of connection issues etc I'm just wondering if any of it has been sorted out and is it worth the 30 quid?

    Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Not from PSN its not.

    You could buy it for similar price in a shop and get a official bluetooth headset with it.

    i love the game, play it all the time, but each to their own.

    As for connections i never have problems.

    It's worth the money, but do be aware that theres upgrade out soon, with new maps and so on, so that will prob cost you too.

    Its a great game but you have to be into those type of games basically if you want a ultra realistic online shooter then its worth it if you want a run and gun COD type then you wont like it.

    Pick it up 2nd hand in gamestop/ xtravision etc i saw it last week for 18 euro.

    Realism is the way to go. COD is fun but I would like some tactics every now and again I'm just in the process of downloading it now too lazy to leave the house today!

    Quality game. Would recommend it to anyone. Get the hang of it first and try join a clan. Very tactical game but a hell of a lot of fun. Dont try run and gun. Its all about patience. Use the walls and bushes etc. to your advantage. And pounce when the time is right :)

    Have been playing this for the last few weeks and must say i really like it. As all the others said lots of teamwork, tactics etc. Well worth the money imo. It's great the servers are regional so you get to play with alot of other Irish players. I'm in an Irish clan with over 40 people, theres usually about 10+ on every night.
