    I wonder how the servers are going to run for the first month of release. I was tempted to buy this over Battlefront, I think I'll wait for reviews

    The Open Beta was supposed to start today at 3pm but it never started, they said their matchmaking servers were borked, a week before launch...

    At least they realised it a week before launch and not a week after, like Driveclub. :)

    Yikes! Preordered this o_O

    Gonna stick with it, it's R6 after all (not a proper cover mechanic R6, but you know)

    Latest from Ubi

    What is the plan to fix this?
    Within the next few hours, we anticipate pushing the fix initially to Xbox One and then PC and PS4 as quickly as possible thereafter.
    Expect an update at 6PM EST on the current situation while several maintenances will occur during the day. Maintenance updates will be posted here.


    Is this going to be fixed for launch?
    Yes. This Open Beta will ensure the cleanest launch possible. Keep in mind that this beta is intended for this exact reason: find problems and troubleshoot them to ensure the most stable launch possible.


    How come the Open Beta Technical Test had properly working servers and matchmaking and it’s not working now?
    We’ve identified the root issue that was introduced after the Technical Test while fixing a separate aspect of the game and is currently under test and will deployed within the next few hours.


    What does this delay mean for the final release of the game?
    We are confident the game will work as intended since the known issue will be fixed soon. Therefore the launch will not be impacted by this issue.

    Thoughts on the beta? If the bugs are somehow patched up rather soon, the game is a lot of fun and requires a lot of skill. It does get frustrating when you're on a poor team

    So there's an awesome bug on PC that means that you have to press alt+enter twice to be able to see the "Change Loadout" option, then have to communicate that to everyone in the game so that they can all do it and ready up and then, once everyone has done that without quitting... nothing happens! Tried 5 or 6 times to play, 3 times that happened, 2 times no games were found and 1 time we found a game instantly and loaded straight into it no problems and it was pretty fun.

    2-Player Terrorist Hunt on the other hand is pretty awesome! If they can fix the problems I'd probably buy the game but it's looking like it might not really be playable for a few weeks yet and by then it might even be in some New Year sales.

    The visuals and presentation has greatly improved over the closed beta.

    Has the chance of being really great :)

    This game is brilliant. I tried it at first solo and I didn't get to grips with it but played with a few friends it really is great. Very tactical and tense and there's alot to it, the operators and different weapons and setups gives alot of room for success and failure.

    Yep, Loving it, it's rock hard, the AI is spot on and in terrorist hunt the ambient sound is great. Crouching in the corner, hearing the AI talk to each other, then footsteps on the floor above slowly move towards you, awesome, like old times.

    Maintenance for Xbox One and PC ATM, PS4 should be fine though.

    They have been very active on fixes, which is worrying with the launch so close.

    No problem by me, it's a beta, all be it a "last minute, oh my god, can we get this running without feck ups before the Monday release" beta.

    Things will get tasty if multiplayer is fecked on launch day though, UBI being UBI

    Nah, its great fun on PS4 at least, providing people use mics and don't play like fecking COD tards.

    One for you and your mates, NEEDS. TEAM. COORDINATION

    I'm sure it is, but I had to turn it off as the lack of any textures made my eyes go funny and I was concerned the overwhelming amount of jaggies might pop them.

    Can't get into this at all, the gunplay feels too floaty and unresponsive.

    Shame

    Ok WTF? I just tried multiplayer. Straight away I get team killed and they try to kick me, then the next round starts I get team killed off spawn again, then I get kicked. What the hell?

    Very much so enjoyed this during the Open Beta. Got a free code for it with my new graphics card too (well, choice between this and AC... so yeah) and looking forwards to getting stuck into it more. So many tense matches! It's pretty fucking good.

    This seems to be another one of those games that thinks the general population in FPS games isn't 15 year old CoD kiddies and suffers for it. Definitely one for playing with your mates only. It also made me yearn for the old Terrorist Hunt from RS:Vegas.

    Yes Rich, I miss those old R6 games, the lack of mics and communications could kill following for this game.

    As it is I will be getting it and hopefully once all the spawn killing kiddies have bored of it we will be left with enough decent players to have some THunt sessions.

    The graphics look fine on the PS4 at least, though I get the floaty comment, the models should have a more planted feel, I agree.

    Hopefully it stays healthy for a few months. I can very easily get absorbed in this (more so than the likes of CSGO, CoD and Battlefield in fact)

    @Rivuzu Shield users are the snipers of the R6 world, nobody likes them :)

    £40 at the game collection - really tempted by this as (despite the issues) really enjoyed the betas. Just a bit concerned it will be dead online - wonder if there is enough of a community going forward.

    @StrayBezza I'm confident there will be, mainly because the map and game mode DLCs are free.
