Yay! I was able to get into a live world and play

It actually ran very nicely, no ctd, very little lag. Impressive!

I gated into my home base (finally, the training area gates work!) and ran up to a Galaxy (Think of a big transport plane) where I was promptly invited to join a squad. I boarded the Galaxy as a side gunner and was feeling very dangerous.

Rest of the squad boarded, and one guy even loaded a dune buggy type vehicle on board! Coolness!

As we took off, I took note of the fact that my gunsight dropped, simulating G effects from a rapid climb... very nice effect

We went through a gate to an enemy continent without any lag or problems. I watched as several vehicles also gated with us, including a gunship flying escort.

Driver takes us over a base and gives the order to bail out. After telling me how I watched as my avatar opened his hatch and did a nice little dive, Airborne assault baby! We captured the base with very little incident, and I actually never saw a bad guy.

But then it happened! I was standing a little ways outside of the base, checking out a guard tower when an enemy gunship started braking for a landing. I leveled my assault rifle and opened fire, thinking that this was probably a waste of time. Suddenly the ship exploded and a body fell out

Still very stable, and almost no lag. A short time later, an assault came after the base, and I ran inside and smack into this powered armor dude, who promptly wasted me. After a very short delay, I was able to respawn back into the base and rejoin the fight.

The action is fast and furious, and overall, I am impressed to say the least.
