Fun multiplayer game

This game is alot like Counter-Strike in which majority of the gaming takes place online. However, what makes CS better is not only its graphics, but its connectivity. Last time I checked with CS, you could get a max of 32 players (if im wrong, then thats my fault, i simply guessed). Anyways, the makers of Black Hawk Down wanted to create a virtual MMOFPS game the likes that no one had ever seen or heard about. The idea was great, however, you had to take into account the connectivity of each player (after all, not everyone will have cable internet, including myself). The connectivity issue along with the fact that the makers wanted to allow up to 150 players @ once to play against each other gave alot to be desired. Aside from the connectivity issue, I feel that the team did a great job putting the game together. Combined with different classes of soldiers (alot like TF) made the experience worth the $$. The thing that I really enjoyed the most is the fact that being able to operate the aircraft wasnt an impossible task in itself. I felt that I was 1 of the best heli pilots out there, but due to the whole idea of 150 players all going head on @ once really drew me away. The environment was very well done (even though it would have been nice if they would have given the element to do a destructible environment (but I seriously doubt that they were trying to go for that). Well thats my 2 pennies on this game.
