Kill me now

Some German magazine reports that the game is third person only with no first person option.

I think it's funny. This is usually what a console port of a good PC game ends up like.

Stealth told me about this the other day. Sounds like it wouldn't work out too well to me. Laughing

Well, I got a copy of Games For Windows today with a big ol' story about this, and I'll try to summarize:

can spend points on new weapons and abilities

All in all, it actually looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Doesn't sound too bad. Don't like the 3rd person only idea though.

The only 3rd person shooter I've ever played that worked well for me was Max Payne. Let's hope they stick to a similar setup.

Completely changed my opinion. I have to at least try it now.

Yeah it looks worth a try.

Max Payne was amazing in more than just it's 3rd Person play. Anyway, I think it is atleast interesting to try. Maybe more classes but then again it could be good having it sound pretty simple just "arcadey" FPS.

So, upon checking one of my old e-mail accounts, I discovered I'm actually in the beta for this.

It's... odd. You create a "hero" on the site itself (and launch the game through it too), and pick a side and one of the 3 classes when you create the character. Too many vehicles, not enough gunners? TOO FUCKING BAD YOU'RE STAYING AS A SNIPER. The launch process (log in with your "security account", click Play Now, log in with your EA account, game launches) is incredibly tedious, but I assume it's just because it's a beta.

The game itself is pretty much how I described it in my last post, with a few clarifications: the abilities are less like perks than they are "spells", hit a button, shoot fire bullets, etc. Each class starts out with 2 weapons, TNT, and 1 unlocked ability. You can gain "Valor Points" (or was it Victory...?) through winning matches, which you can spend on temporary (3 days seems the norm) weapons, or you can buy "Battle Points" with real money and buy the same weapons that last 7 days. Abilities are unlocked with a different kind of point which you can on leveling up. You gain XP from capping flags, injuring and killing, and through completing simple Missions.

All that aside, it's actually fun. The class I've been having the most fun with is the Commando (sniper). You get a knife, a sniper rifle, and the Stealth ability, which, at level 1, keeps you invisible until you get within 15m of the enemy, or fire a weapon/swing the knife. It's pretty awesome to run at a guy that's just walking around, getting within range, and him randomly unloading while you stab him in the face. Knives aren't 1 hit kills, but headshots are, which is nice since jerks take a billion bullets before dyin'.

Haven't messed much with vehicles, but from what I can tell, they handle just like the non-cartoony, BF42 versions of themselves.

And, hell, it's free, so once it releases, it could prove a fun distraction.

I just got into the beta last night. And wow.

This game is awesome. I thought I'd be pissed at buying guns and stuff, but they did a really nice job balancing it. The guns don't really give too much of an advantage, they just let you choose your playing style.

I like to fight people in medium range, so I have a close-medium ranged shotgun and a long range burst shot gun.

Then everyone gets the medic pack, but they made it have a "cooldown" and that takes about 5-7seconds before you can use it again. It's like an instant heal that will heal you at first for 20% of your health. If you're around other teammates and you heal them too (it's an aoe effect) then the healing increases by like 5% per teammate that's around you.

There's only two things I don't like about the game. One is you can't choose your class in the server, nor turn in your missions which give you Valor points.

The second is the plane. You must use your mouse to fly that fucker. Even with my sensitivity up, it's hard to fly.

I haven't determined it yet... but I think I actually enjoyed playing this more than I did BF42.
