There is an option to turn the blood and gore off.
Yes, this Friday. I hope it proves as popular as it seems at the moment. And is as good as it appears. Very excited!

Why dont we sort a game out for thurday night? Could be fun!
Yeah, just what I was thinking. Though chances are that on launch day it may be a bit messy. But there's a good chance you'll see me online, and it should be really easy to join friends, so then it's a matter of making sure we have each other on our friends list.
Not a bad idea either. By the way I heard on the podcast that voice chat is push to talk, so that's good, but also something you should be aware of - the button for this is the first thing you should look for 
. Also, you start a game full of AI bots, and then players can join. I think you can set this to 'friends only' and that's the only way we can control playing together at the moment, because otherwise you're just hooked up based on ping/ip and there's no option yet for password protecting a game.
So still important to fill those friends lists

What about friends of friends? I presume it'll just be friends of the host. I'll have to start adding PSN names!
I think password protect will be needed though. Sometimes a group of friends may want to play without others turning up, such as trying cunning tactics. I also hope for serious party voice chat. I'd rather be a group of four playing close, than part of 16 with a few voice commands mixing it up. As Deepbrown can testify when he's visited our Warhawk game, I'll merrily chat about nonsense treating voice-chat like a phone call, rather than specific game stuff!

Thursday night what time zone ?
Count me in. Trying to finish as much work as possible now to make it.
I'd guess we start as soon as somebody gets their grubby hands on the game, I know I will
The psychological gulf between ~$10 and $15... it's harsh! But I guess Sony ran their own calculus on it as well; probably as simple as a demand curve progression with a price drop built-in down the line.
Anyway I'll be an early adopter myself, with hopefully the time available to get in on Day 1 B3D action!

GMT for me, should be on from about 8ish as ive got gym thursdays. You are the only one on my friends list from b3d so far and i aint in the chatroom thing so ill be relying on you to get me in the game!
Not as harsh as the Euro conversion. The Eurozone gets to pay $20 for this. Joy
One big worry I have is getting on the same team with one's mates. In the interview this question was raised but not answered directly. If we join a game, a B3D posse, is there a way to ensure we are grouped on the same team? Or will it be the brain-dead Warhawk experience where we're randomly split across sides? Part of the appeal of this game is discussing and implementing tactics. It'd be a bit rubbish if a group plan to go 3 fighters up front, rangers behind say, only to find the team is scattered across both sides.
Sadly I'm expecting it to be flawed. I am amazed how wrong developers can be with their implementation of the online experience! Especially when Live is forging ahead. Nothing needs to be invented here. Just copy the existing best implementation!

No I think they have this covered. You can switch sides before the game starts and there's a play with friends option that keeps your friends on your team.
