I am really excited about this release, but if the airplanes and helis (especially the helis) handle like they do in Vietnam I will be very disappointed. Hopefully they'll handle more like DC, but this quote from an article about an E3 hands-on scares me a bit:

<i>"Even though we were playing with other E3 attendees who had no prior experience with the game, it's clear that anyone who's played Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield Vietnam can jump in the game with ease. The trick is to master the team tactics and commander controls, the same ones that let a well-coordinated team steamroll a random collection of players. The helicopter controls are still going to drive novices crazy, and we promptly flew a Hind attack helicopter sideways and into the ground. Mercifully, we managed to get out in time, and the chopper didn't explode. It was fun to then see another player jump in and take off, only to lawn-dart it right into the ground. He exploded. So, once again, helicopters are going to be the domain of the chopper pilots.</i>
