i played in it yesterday and this is how mw2 should of been . be warned youll want a quad in my opinion as it is very demanding but great game.

the vehicles are very easy to use , helis , quad bikes , tanks , remote heli ,

the graphics are sweet and the sound is just like being in nam you can hear everything from the scrape of the knife on a helmut as you stab someone to bullets flying of a tank at side of you.

the map is a cross between hurtgen and rocket with few buildings thrown in.graphically very nice.

oh you also parachute into the map at the start .

the bad points

the fov isnt the best (similar to default cod 4 or mw2 ) but if you play it at default anyway in games it might not matter . if you play at 80 like alot do then it might annoy you.

it is a beta so there odd bits of like server lag (not much though)

no prone. this isnt as bad as first seems once get used to it with sniping.


overall very decent game and in my op put mw2 to bed it feels very fresh and with the added vehicles brings in a nice break from the normal foot soldier


heres a few vids i did

someone tell me what im doin wrong i have beta key and dnt have a fooking clue

It's a definite win imo.

Just the right blend of perfectly balanced large scale engagements and frantic close quarters action wrapped up in a mind blowing audio visual feast that'll send your machine crying for it's mama

The map is fantastic, it's huge, but the nature of the Rush gametype means the action is focused on maybe 1/4 of it at any one time as the battle lines shift. Being able to destroy buildings, trees, etc, far from being a gimic, really adds to the gameplay - found a great sniping position but there's a tree blocking part of your view? Just C4 the tree - problem solved. Under fire in a building? Fight your way out or it may collapse on you! Fantastic stuff!

Definitely not as slow paced as previous BF games, but not as fast as twitchville MW2, somewhere between the pace of CoD2 and CoD4 I'd say - feels just right to me. Squad system works really well (especially being able to spawn on your squad members) and really helps the development of strategic team play - not something you'd usually find on pub servers, let alone beta pub servers! Weapons feel and sound fantastic but you won't get far spraying - ADS and accuracy ftw!

Nice vids Ben, (apart from that nab I can hear in the background) nothing like picking off a full speed quad bike driver from across the map

Managed to pick off someone parachuting into the map yet? I haven't but I keep trying - I'm sure all those years playing the Mugs UO server won't go to waste

Can't wait for March to get my grubby's on the full deal and try the other game modes - so far Rush is, well, a rush

Pay attention IW, this is how to move a franchise forward, it's not just about how many extra layers of eye candy you can shoehorn onto the Quake3 engine

Anybody knows where to get the Betakey for it ?

Anybody knows where to get the Betakey for it ?

most places to get the beta key require you to pre-order the game.

Not sure if works or not or if you would even want to do it after trying the beta but you could order from play.com get the beta key and then cancel your preorder.

I was going to try that but tbh i like it so not going to cancel my pre-order

[SilentBoB]

typical i get my code then resolve my issue get the game open try to enter my code and guess what already in use whta load of sh*t i spoken with them and i now have to wait within 24hrs for a new key OMFG

[dgee]

bobs a nab

i was gunna do the play.com pre order then cancel but now im not canceling my order cause its ace !

so this avp and my beloved hunter game all beinng updated or released in next few weeks cant be bad


anyone having frame rate issues go into your settings file change the the auto setting on direct x to 9 increases fps by a good margin without too much visual difference

[Deadly Mug]

If anyone still needs a betakey, try here: Click me
Finally had success there.

[dgee]

it was on twitter thats the deffo fixing field of view !


also look in your vehicles section when logged on . jet skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii lol

[SavageParrot]

Are we playing the same game? Because I thought it was ****. Fine in a vehicle maybe the the footslogging was horrible. Bullets that don't register, weapons that make no sense crappy sound effects. TBH it reminded me more of ET QW than BF2 and god knows that was an awful game.

Not a fan.

Haven't cancelled the preorder though as they might yet get it together for the final.

[Blue-Eyes]

Got Flu at mo, so thought i would have a tinkle on it.
Got the key from play.com.

Gameplay is good, setting up keyboard and mouse was a pain. Seem to need 50 bullets to kill someone on assault. Could be me as I am a nab.
How the fook do you control the remote heli? Sniping is tough.
Will be trying it again today to see if i can get more into the swing of it.

First impressions are that I like it and I will not be cancelling my pre-order.

[dgee]

bullets register fine but you need to be more accurate with shots.

sniper will kill one shot if headshot i think thats fine and if you played cod 1 or uo its similar kind of reg. also alot struggle do to the high demands of spec pc needed to run it what i call "properly".

i would go with at least the recommend specs for this game which is a decent quad and at least a 260gtx.

dualcores struggle with the game.


the machine guns have good recoil which i like cause it means you have to learn to shoot again after the yrs of nabbery caused by cod 2 and four

the sound is amazing so how you say it sounds bad probably best war sounds ever heard in any game yet .

did this vid last night watch hq .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbgsCm0Gdxo


fire in short burst and guns are fine snipers just remember bullet drop over distance so aim few mm above head

remote heli is r then left right and so on little practice easy blue.

thats the attitude blue stick at it and oull see the gem this will be.

also remember theres hardcore mode aswell and there are hardcore servers up now ! just not many show up in browser.


if anyone wants a game we go on multiplay 126 and 69

Nah the sound is definately poo. It's pretty I'll grant you but it's all ambient and none of it useful. I want to be able to hear where the shots are coming from and when someone is sneaking up behind me and it falls short on both counts.

Stops me from getting into it tbh because it's the sound that links you to your surroundings, otherwise you're just watching it and might as well shove the tunes on.

[Dethpikabel]

Something's not right there - I'm with Ben, from my pov (sov?), it's got the best sound of any shooter, ever. Both ambient and directional - no problems pinpointing people - problems reacting perhaps but that's a different issue
