Kopking, you can get the beta @ Gamespot and Eurogamer.
Yeah, the skills are a great idea. You can customize your soldier/class and upgrade the weapons as you get more XP / a higher rank. So you could pick a better sight, a radar jammer (so you don\'t show up on the enemy\'s radar), bullets going through walls, better health, various C4 and grenades, pulling out a gun when you\'re dying, dropping a grenade when you die etc. I\'ve only tried some of them, because I haven\'t unlocked them all yet.
But damn it\'s so much fun. I\'m definitely getting this in November!
