I found it to be just as ju described it. Didnt have any expectations, and thought that it might even be bad because of the scale. But i got a beta key.. sat through the first 2h update :( and started playing it.

I too found the graphics to be a bit meh, but what really shines is the gameplay. The feel of the weapons and sound is excellent imo. Its "light" im comparisson to KZ2 and i really liked it. I was also going to buy it after my initial experience, but the constant Loading became too much and other games came into view (Uncharted 2). So i lost all excitement for the game once more.

We'll see next year though.. if they've patched the bugs and made it more smooth. Im sure i'll pick it up. Maybe not Day 1 though.

I am going with a wait and see approach as well. I will pick it up if sales are good and it establishes a good userbase.

It's still a beta so who knows? It may end up looking the same or it may end up looking better. All I know is that I can play a 128 vs 128 game on a wireless connection and I experience zero lag. That is a wonderful thing for me since I have never experienced such a large scale FPS before.

Gameplay for me is worth a lot more than graphics, but for many others I am sure they prefer eyepopping eye candy.

I agree. Just look at Halo. Gameplay over Graphics.



Only one sit through on the beta but I enjoyed it. Has tons of potential and hopefully Zipper listens to everyone and unlocks it. Will I be picking it up? Yes



The Beta Killed my hype for the game... Played to modes, domination and something else. No team work. Hardly anyone using mic. As soon as my match started, my squad pretty much just split apart. When ever I get close to an objective it's a grenade fest. The first sniper rifle [which is the only one you have when you start] hardly does any damage.

I'll play a bit more later on but as of now, it's gone from buy to no buy for me.

I believe that users will start picking up mics in the long run. Every match I played their were atleast 2-3 mic users per squad. And agreed on the sniper, but then again its like the m[whatever] sniper in mw1. You just have to double/tripple tap it to get the kill. Nothing fancy. As for the grenade fest, what fps online has never had that? xD /throwsgrenade

^^^ You've got a point with the grenades. It's just kinda painfull when there are so many players...

I was going to get this game before beta and after playing the beta I'm still going to get it, finally an FPS-game that has interested me since Planetside.

They've fixed lot of bugs in the game in each patch and added new gear, I'm very satisfied of zipper's support for the game.



i got turned off from the beta actually. but they say its updated and all. but the update system is crap and im not going to download anymore!, ill just wait for the full version



I was really interested in the game when it was first announced. After playing the beta for a bit, I doubt I'll be picking up the game.

I thought the game was a mess. Battles had no ebb and flow. The game basically boils down to two large groups of soldiers who run towards their objective and throw their grenades when they get near. Then they die, and repeat.

Death has essentially no consequence in the game. Longest I've had to wait to respawn is 18 seconds. Maybe if you have ADHD, that's a long time, but for me, it's a very minor inconvenience. Couple that with the fact that you respawn pretty close to the objective and you have a clusterf***. The game is a mess and I'm so disappointed with it.

I'll keep playing the beta here and there (currently level 6 or 7 on VALOR), but I really doubt my opinion will change any time soon.



This beta is pretty good i rep-layed and i noticed how sexy the game is compared to the battlefield bad company 2 beta which seriously sucks ass



Fuck
