Tried this today with the free weekend play on steam. Its actually quite good. Prefer this to COD shite, its no BF3 beater though, not close in my opinion in all aspects, however I've ended up buying it. Good move giving a free play weekend trial!
Incidentally I tried MW3 MP the other week on a free play weekend, its shockingly awful! I couldn't believe how bad it was, I didn't mind cod4 mp too much, and others had their moments but thankfully due to the MW3 free trial, I've moved from 'would have bought MW3 one day once it gets past 50% off' to 'probably never buying it' after trying it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I couldn't get enough of it last year, and plan on jumping back in soon. It's such a unique shooter, very tactical but also action packed at the same time. I think getting kills in RO2 is a hell of a lot more satisfying than in other FPS games, rounds feel like they've got stopping power to them. It's a shame so many people missed out on it because of BF3 and MW3 (both of which launched around the same time).
Seriously, anyone that hasn't tried RO2 yet needs to this weekend. That's an order! ;)

Yea, its got some nice bits to the game, and the kills can be quite satisfying... overall FUN is the word, so well worth the money whilst the steam deal is on.
