Anyone else in the closed beta currently?

yea been in it for a while. didn't like the game much. for one, performance is pretty bad for me. secondly, they talk about massive combat with hundreds of players, but the reality is that all the action is localized to various flashpoints, and each flashpoint just plays like a regular fps with about 20 a side. it's like having one big world but instances of combat in it that are pretty much the same as any other shooter out there.

 

will give it another fair shot when it's out of beta and on steam, but for now i'm somewhat disappointed.

True, To be fair though I don't think the servers have hit the 2000 players pop cap that's supposed to be in the game at launch. SOE has been hard at work patch the game, tweaking game mechanics etc. ..Love the way how they are handling the community input.

 

Also try playing with an organized outfit/squad. It does wonders for your game experience, Ended up playing for bout 6 hours straight the other night.. No other fps has managed to do that for me yet.

 

Are you 'Spin Doctor' on there btw? Saw someone with that name on there recently.

I am looking forward to this game very much..only the FPS thing putting me off..somehow I like the Third person gaming more than First person

the game looks impreeive in the trailer

downloaded it on steam. game has been optimized since beta and performance is better, although you still need a really good machine to run it at max settings. still don't understand all the game mechanics though but that will come with time. worth trying out since it's free.

 

come to think of it, it's a very high quality game for free. they could easily sell this at full retail price. free to play gaming sure has come a long way.

another hour and the game should be ready to play! wonder if all weapons will be available or we have to pay for those! i hope its not "free to play ,pay to enjoy" kind of game.

i think the size of the game world adds a certain amount of complexity to the game which is good, but then sony went ahead and added a layer with the f2p stuff and customization that makes the whole thing a little overwhelming when you start out. the scale of the game is unmatched though and you really feel like you're a small part of a massive war going on. it's an out and out team game where you are completely worthless if you play solo. halo retards need not apply.

Hearing that all around via reviews. I'm guessing that any attempt to play this on my laptop (really wanted to after watching IGN's video review) will end with my laptop going:
