Looks like the guys from GameRadar got to spend some quality time with Airbornes MP.
With smallish levels, 12-player limit and complete lack of vehicles, Airborne's multiplayer might seem confining. Even with its limitations, though, it's a hell of a lot of fun, and the paratrooping gives the game a level of chaos that's a cut above what most games offer. As an Axis soldier, you'll constantly be unsure of whether to watch your back or the skies, and as one of the Allies, picking the right landing spot can mean the difference between victory or an early midair death. Airborne has enough potential to get us a little excited about playing a World War II shooter again, and that's an impressive feat.
