Played for about 30 minutes yesterday, that's enough for me.

I'll wait till release and give it another shot. Only reason I quit playing was cause the framerate is horrible in crowded areas.

I would have played for you :/
 
It's a closed beta test. You're supposed to testing the game, not leaving because there is problems. The whole point is find the problems so the devs can fix them. This isn't a "let's try it and quit demo." It's an actual beta test. If you weren't going to do that, you should have given your code to someone else.

Yeah and most people don't even bother to provide the feedback on the issues they had. I try to play a bunch and actually leave notes so the final game is better if I have any interest in it whatsoever. The one game that didn't actually yield fruit for was Homefront... still hurts.

This is why I hate people like Pop. There's so few keys out right now and so many people who would love to play, test and give feedback it comes across as a real asshole move to sign up for a code, play for 30 minutes, say "I can't stand the problems with this game" when it is in beta, and not play again til release.
 
I'm just having the best of times. They see my magridin' they hatin'.

CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema
I got a key, if I don't end of playing it then I will give it to someone in the thread.

Played the PC version for a year, did have some fun although I haven't played it too much since they introduced the implants system.

I am updating the PC version currently to see if this will grab me enough to try it on the PS4 and to be able to give some sort of valuable feedback to SOE.

Feel like I'm fighting the battles solo, no one on NC follows the objectives.

Edit: also I'm pretty sure you can make that sliding glitch happen, Iv been getting killed by the same 2 guys doing it.

You sound young so I'll let you off the hook. No need to hate people over a fucking beta.

Here's the bugs everyone else will experience:
-Sub 20 fps
-Screen tearing

Not going to get out a notepad and jog down every time sprint doesn't work. Should have been an open beta anyway.

I would actually join there sub-reddit and give them a list on every bug I find if I got a code, I never win access to any closed betas, The Tomorrow Children beta still hurts me, I even did the drawing contest sigh...

Been watching streams today and man is there a lot of screen tearing.

I opened a stream earlier and saw a lot of screen tearing too. But what's weird is I don't remember seeing any while I was playing. Maybe it's an effect of streaming at a certain framerate and playing a game with a framerate that fluctuates wildly? I have no idea.

When you zoom in or ads the tearing is bad.

I was super interested in playing the first one but I've never had a capable PC.

Hey you caught our galaxy bombing! We (my outfit: RMA) were actually doing that for lolz. Galaxy bombing is a fun as hell thing to do in Planetside. Basically for TR that entire time the only fight was at Sierra outpost so we just stayed where the killing was good and easy.

There will be an open beta, but this one is for testing, thus closed...like it should be. He's right, you wasted a key because you didn't understand what a real beta test is. Open betas are glorified demos, which is what you probably should have waited for.

Any spare codes?, wonder if my PS+ Lapsing had anything to do with it :/

Not really sure, I'm not too sure about the whole chronological order of sending the keys out though, I signed up a few weeks before a buddy of mine and he got his key this week, I haven't got anything unfortunately.

This is so BS... So they advertised people to sign for a beta in December, but they are sending emails to people on the newsletter from January 2014? Meaning we probably never got a chance
