WarRock  
About 6 months ago I reviewed WarRock, a fun Battlefield 2 clone with limited features. Then it was closed to the public, and the closed beta began. It is currently in the open beta state, but since it's already got the feature set of a complete game, I'm not qualifying it as a preview.
Just like Battlefield 2, WarRock has 5 classes, each with their own weapons, and battles revolve around capturing control points. The classes are a little unbalanced, but no class is useless. WarRock does feature some things Battlefield 2 doesn't. The gameplay is faster, and you can run or roll to avoid enemy fire. Rolling works well for avoiding enemy fire, and might be just what you need to stay alive, when only a few hits will kill you.
WarRock has you battling across 11 maps using a standard array of weapons. As you level up and earn cash, you can rent more powerful weapons for anywhere between 3 and 30 days. The three modes all offer unique experiences: Mission charges you with the task of either setting or disarming bombs in close-quarters levels, and ups the intensity by giving you only one life. Infantry has you deathmatching across medium-sized levels, all of which contain vehicles such as tanks, bikes, and jeeps. The third mode offers vehicular combat across huge levels, with boats, planes, and helicopters.
The level design in WarRock ranges from great to terrible. For example, Cantumira has plenty of tanks and Jeeps, but dividers littering the roadway can make them all useless. On the other hand, most city levels offer great close-quarters combat, with plenty of routes and positions for hiding or sniping.
WarRock's community is divided up into two parties: the newbies who downloaded the game sometime in the last month, and the hardcore players who were there all through the closed beta. I found it easy to find a good crowd to play with, though many people used words like "nub" and "hax0r" liberally.
WarRock has a few strange flaws; occupied vehicles sometimes pass right through people, and helicopters have no parachutes. You may also be shot to death even if it doesn't appear someone's aiming at you, though that's common in online games. Make sure you're above water when you go crashing down in flames. But despite little things like that, WarRock is great fun and worth the download for anyone with a connection to handle it. It's 270 MB, so unless you have a great connection, set aside some time for it to download.
NOTE: Download links to download page, and you also must register on the website. Yes, your screenname really does have to be 6-10 lowercase letters/numbers. Sorry.
