Wow. It seems like each day, the game just gets more and more lag in each and every match. Screw that dedicated servers map. I just keep ending up on P2P connections that are so laggy I miss half my kills because my grenade I was carefully aiming suddenly only goes two feet, or my shooting reticle is suddenly two feet to the left of my enemy rather than on my enemy. I've checked my own connection, and it's working perfectly fine. That means the game is being ridiculously laggy because I can't maintain a good connection with whichever host with crap internet is the pick of the match.

I'm not even going to bother with the beta anymore. It's not worth it. If they're going to do an open beta, the servers should be able to handle the load so that matches aren't handed off to unstable P2P hosting.

Yeah it's not even playable right now.  Hopefully the PC beta is more stable. 



Agree with both of you above, I've given up. The more people are on the worse it got.

There are some major nerfs that need to occur. The Specialists lethal options are all really powerful. The Robots chain gun is ridiculous, there is no out shooting it. The lightning gun and single shot gun are weird too you get like 5 or 6 bullets and if you miss you still get another chance, this is weird, it should be 2 only and if you miss you miss. I mean compare it to the slam move, it will normally only get 1 or 2 people, while the lightning gun, bow or single shot thing can get loads.

Also, the XR-2 is a joke, it bests every gun.



Hmm, pie.

PS4 beta ends in less than an hour.





XB1/PC beta up next.

Let's hope they do the right thing and start nerfing some things.

My and my brother went through what we think they need to change to make things right and it's mainly to do with scorestreaks and the specialist abilities.

The main issue with the specialist abilities is that the offensive options are way over powered on some of them. The Reapers chain gun, the bow, lightning gun and the grenade launcher are basically insta-kills and get loads of shots with them too. It's weird how it does it, you get a kill and you get less shots yet the lightning gun can still ge 4 kills easy. I think it should be more that you get 3 shots only and if you miss you miss. I noticed they slowed the firerate of the 'golden gun' one, that's kind of okay now.

On scorestreaks it's just a case of in any objective gamemode there are jsut too many, I shot down 26 things in the air one domination match. Think it was 18 UAVs, 4 counters and a few other things. I mean, it's too many. In order to fix it, they just need to lower the points on offer.


Oh and weirdest thing ever. The Custom Paint Jobs, you cannot called one you just made that is mostly red 'Red' it's apparently banned because it's 'Profanity', the colour 'red'. Same goes for 'White', although, 'Blanc' is allowed (French). Blue and Green are too. My regular 'Clan Tag' hasn't been allowed since Black Ops 2, 'Park', apparently this is banned in Black Ops 2, I'm guessing it will be here too. I really want to know why they are banning general English words (and a very common surname in Korea).



Hmm, pie.

I enjoyed what little I played of the beta. the graphics have improved from the previous games. the specialist abilities are overpowered,but I don't know if that was intentional,as you can only use them for a short time. there's really no defense for some of them. I liked the wall run,but it's uneccesary. I feel the game has improved a great deal from the previous game. There is your typical lag in some matches. the first match I played was nothing but lag,but when it work's,it work's real well,in my opinion.I'll probably get this game next year,as I'm more excited about other games.



Anyone got an extra key for PC?

I still haven't even got mine yet. Not sure if they started sending them out yet. 



Not sure if the pc version is region locked, but I have two US Steam keys for any one interested. First come first serve.
