Pros: -Chat! So far it seemed to have a lot of helpful and mindful people talking strategy and what not. One of the matches actually had a couple of participants in the chat talking about it. -Easy navigation. Click a name and it auto locks on and goes there. -Class combos are not hidden and all skills are displayed as they are used. Cons: -No rewind or fast forward. If you miss something ... you missed something. -Piggy backing on the first con you don't always join in the start and miss some valuable tactics. The first set of attacks tells a lot IMHO. On a scale of 5 this gets a 4.5 for implementation and a 4.5 for useability. Only marked down for no ability to rewind or fast forward (maybe I'm just missing the controls???).

And for Brinstar... PvP is one of the first things I did and the chief reason I played GW... go out and enjoy it! Cool… will be checking this out in the mornin’ when I get off work.

Observer mode is quite cool, I have to say. When you are in town, you just pull up the menu by pressing 'B' and you get a list of battles which you can watch. I've been playing Guild Wars at the weekends for several months now, and I'm still enjoying it. Haven't yet tried PvP, though. I started WoW the other day, but it hasn't really grabbed me yet, but maybe it will when I do a few more quests and get used to the UI.
