Counterstrike was about infantry combat. No vehicles. (I guess you know that anyway.)
But the Battlepoint-system is essentially the same. (They could just give you money instead.)

The Commander-System ... well ... I think it's a new thing for shooters. Sadly, people will say BRINK is like Homefront because Homefront releases earlier (doesn't it?), which is worse press for BRINK.

Homefront seems like another Bad Company, almost all of their features come from that game except those "battle points". It just aggravates me that they are copying the battlefield games so blatantly and yet they still try to pass it off as unique.
