I played for over an hour and it is massively confusing. This game is going to have like a three hour learning curve for me.

There is only one mode of play available at the moment, Acquisition. Which basically has you attacking or defending. If you're attacking, you've got to steal two prototype vehicles and bring them back to some location far away from the action. You can also blow up key locations across the map like bynkers where enemies spawn from, motor pools, mortar locations, etc.

If you are defending, you just hold all of these fortified locations.

I played as Valor for four matches and we were attacking every time.

There's also a pretty confusing weapon upgrade/perk system.

Would you think this could contribute to a PS3 purchase?
Im sitting on the fence atm, with the ps3 price cut and my lack of a bluray player I might buy the slim...

I'm not going to make a decision yet, but I'm leaning towards yes. It plays very similar to Battlefield: Bad Company.

I'm glad it's not super simple. That drives me away from most FPSs.

What are your impressions on the beta now that you have had more time with it Abe?

Sorry for the delay, I missed this.

Having spent more time with this, I decided I'm going to pass. It's just not fun.

The gameplay mechanics aren't in line with what I like in a FPS, neither are the default controls.

People snipe non-stop and since the maps are so big, and the objectives clearly placed on everyone maps, be prepared to head towards them and get sniped immediately. Then span 500 yards away and repeat.

I think there will be better shooters out to waste my time with than this.

Once you shoot it the bullet instantly hits, and you don't need to compensate for the lag of the bullet, only actual lag if you have a high ping.

If it is, the sniping problem probably wouldn't get better. Hitscan sniper rifles are pretty easy to aim with.

I'm not sure, I haven't tried sniping yet. I'm enjoy running and gunning more than camping looking down a sniper scope.

Qore subscribers got their codes last night, so if you know someone who already was in the beta and also a Qore subscriber, hit them up.

My second code is already gone.

I suppose your right.

I started updating about 5 minutes ago, right now it's on 2%, 55.85/2661.35MB. I find it ridiculous for a BETA.
