I think it's fair to bump this thread with Hammerhead just two weeks away, for anyone who might not know about this terrific event.

Just so you know I'm not just bumping and this really is news:

I just got confirmation that I'll be there running participation games of Zero Dark, just ahead of publication.

Come along if you fancy taking it for a spin. Most of the day will be running co-op missions, but if there's interest I'll set up some PvP (or Team v Team) play from about 3pm onwards.
