(Re-post! A technical glitch erased the Battlefield Report. Here it is again, in case you missed it the first time...)
Over the last three weeks or so two shooter beta programs have been launched and closed. Here are my personal impressions of the Battlefield 3 open beta (Xbox 360 version) and the Ghost Recon Online closed beta (PC).

Andrew (Cubninja) and Jim (txshurricane) played some midnight matches and came back with a few Black Ops snapshots for the album. Plus, we discuss why playing with friends is important to getting the most enjoyment out of competitive games.

Normally the Battlefield Report is reserved for games that aren't inherently co-op, but this story beat the rest to the top of the list. A non-traditional

Take a look at your gaming collection. No, not just the shelf by your TV - the whole collection. Is it neglected? Is it collecting dust? Why do you still have it? The Battlefield Report gets shaken up with some food for thought.

The mother of all class-based, squad-based, multiplayer military shooters is preparing to wow gamers everywhere this winter. Or so says Digital Illusions CE. Let’s take a look at what we know about Battlefield 3 so far.

It's a double-whammy month as the Battlefield Report braves No Man's Land to bring you impressions of two of this month's hottest downloadable add-ons.

If you've ever done any behind-the-scenes research on the wildly popular and legendary original Star Wars trilogy, you might know that George Lucas borrowed from many franchises for Star Wars. Pandemic did the same for Star Wars Battlefront, and the result was a die-hard fan named Jim.

With so many features on our plate we hadn't had the chance to provide good, healthy impressions of the free Red Dead Redemption co-op missions and the premium Legends and Killers pack. Cue the Battlefield Report with a Red Dead twofer.

A few months ago we came across an interesting article that shed some light on Sam Fisher's peculiar shooting stance in Splinter Cell: Conviction. Today we’ll take a look at traditional poses and see how the new one holds up as a credible way for our favorite rogue operative to dispatch bad guys.

It's time for another Battlefield Report. Unfortunately, gaming for this soldier has been sparse recently, so for your enjoyment this file is restricted to one extra-descriptive battle. Hang your hat and read on.

If you haven't played Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you're missing a good game. Of course, it's an acquired taste, but there's only one way to acquire it. This month we take a look at the sniper class in Bad Company 2 and why it's so different from other games.
