I think I am rank 10 on the starter map till rank 15. Anywhere you can go to look at your players stats online? I think this will pull in a lot of Battlefielders on PS4 like me. The vehicles need some handling love though, they seem very loose and all over the place. I can see the potential if enough players get involved long term. Looks like it still seems a long ways away from full release though. But had some really good moments last night. Especially when 20 of us invaded their main base, and just swept through their sectors like a plague of locusts. |

Registered 19 years agoSo the beta has finished? Great.
Finally get a code late Friday, no time to play it Saturday, could have played it a bit last night but was too tired after being out all day. Get on it today, at last, only to be greeted by 'Server Unavailable'.
Had been looking forward to trying this out. At least it's a F2P game so I can give it a go in the future at no cost to myself. -

Registered 10 years agoLol I played it once, wasn't impressed. absolutely terrible that there was no tutorial seeing as it's been on pc for donkeys years now, the graphics were poor, the shooting seemed wooly with no real feedback to it (I can accept the screen tear as its a beta) it left me with no clear idea of where to go or how to do it so I turned it off after 10 mins and now it's finished?
I get that my experience is based on very minimal time with it but they clearly could have done more to get people "in" on it before launch as they will likely need to do better for it to survive. Instant action wasn't working either so no way to just get into it. Would have given it another go with more time but not exactly crying if it's over

Registered 13 years agoWhat? It's done already? I think when I got my code, I had about 1 hour on friday and that was it. It took ages to work out a bit more what was going on too.
I expected to get a bit longer on it to try out some more options etc! -

Registered 11 years agoI was on last night and a message said servers coming down for maintenance.
I would imagine beta will be open right up to release like H1Z1 on pc.
We TR the reds got pushed hard by purple Vanu. We had invisible enemies in our base. There was a major forest fight. I went light comat to jetpack on a hill. Some amazing action as two sides fought around a base.
We had some well placed Sunderers to spawn in to to keep the pressure on.
Just cannot figure out the flight controls though. Try different setups and my ship won't turn.
This does take getting use to. But the action and strategy is right up my street.

Registered 11 years agoJust looked at forum, nothing there says beta has ended. UK servers are up from 3.20 pm to midnight.
Found this vid about the Factions.

Registered 11 years agoI moved off the starting world and things seem to feel and look much better. Don't know if it was the server maintenance or what?
The flight controls are strange. But I managed to fly the Mosquito around today. And landed on some enemy roofs.
Had a nice skirmish on Hossin.
I think they should test out one planet at a time, rather than all four and the starter world. They only have a couple of thousand testers on the go at the moment, before adding more.

Registered 12 years agoWow. Early impressions of this are not good at all. Aiming sensitivity is all over the place, and changing the settings doesn't help at all. The frame rate is absolutely horrific too.
I know it's only beta, but this really can't improve that much, can it? It's quite plainly obvious that the PS4 can't handle it. -

Registered 15 years agoIt probably *should* be able to handle it, it's just that the game's engine is an absolute fucking mess and can't even run properly on most PCs. It's a wonder it runs at all on PS4. -

Registered 13 years agoThe aiming is ruining this for me. It doesn't feel like its been tweaked to suit a joypad at all. Its far too sensitive and twitchy. Like its the PC version that's perfectly suited to keyboard and mouse. -

Registered 12 years agoThe aiming is indeed terrible. Absolutely all over the place from what I played. I changed the sensitivity up and down but it made no difference at all. I felt disconnected from the game the whole time. -

Registered 11 years agoThey must have wiped the servers my level 17 TR is gone.
Check that, game crashed after making a Vanu soldier. Reloaded and my TR soldier is back.

Registered 13 years agoSo which faction did everyone go for? I picked Vanu, since their weapons looked a bit Halo-y. -

Registered 6 years agoI started playing this the other day and I'll be honest, I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Would anyone be willing to put up with me and play this sometime? -
Vanu and NC weapons are noticeably superior to TR weapons in general. NC have the most variety and exclusive access to 200 damage a hit weapons in the AC-X11 and Gauss SAW, and still have the odd high ROF weapon too. Vanu weapons are generally the most accurate under sustained fire.
TR weapons kind of suck as the larger magazines don't help much, they don't really get much higher ROF on average. But the worst thing is that the vast majority of their weapons have equal left and right pull, which sounds good but means they jump about all over the fucking place and are impossible to compensate for.
