Really enjoying this so far. I'm liking Titan, Battle Medic, Juggernaut, and Wraith a lot... But hell, all the classes are fun.

They really nailed the mechanics here - all the movement and weapons are super satisfying.
 
I really like occupy. when both team are balanced. it was an amazing game. 199-200. i would take that loss any day.

both team did great.

came in last on the team but had 7325. just shy of an S. but fuck me. the game was great.

as battle medic.

I have been REALLY tempted to buy it on PC but I am worried about the low player count.

Well if it doesn't end up having legs then now is the best time to get it and get your $30.00 worth. Besides plenty of games in the FPS market coming up with Destiny 2, SW BF2, and CoD WWII. Get on it now, and enjoy it with the rest of us.
 
How do the guns feel

Really good. The Vanguard's chaingun has what you'd expect (initial spinup + accuracy as you shoot) but the hits are chunky and I THINK it's hitscan. The normal non-hitscan stuff is here (grenades, rockets) but it feels a lot like Quake or UT2k4

Man I'm really not feeling this so far. Feels like early access Warframe meets Overwatch. The feel of shooting and using the abilities isn't satisfying and the whole thing feels rough around the edges. The art direction is derivative and bland, though that's my fault for not realizing this ahead of time since I went in blind. Nothing's grabbing me yet. I wonder if I'd dig it more with KB/M. Not giving up on it yet, though. Still hoping it'll click..

In beta it took me 5+ games and cycling through classes for it to click. At first I thought it was too hectic for PS4, then Gunslinger and I got together, and I never looked back.

Takes a bit, and it does help to play with others on here if you can to enjoy being on the winning side.
 
What are player numbers like on PlayStation? Specifically on the Oceania side? Thinking about picking this up soon.

I’m on Oceania and the initial search can take a few minutes but no problems finding games once you get into the initial match, this is only based on last night and today.

My suggestion....buy it now while there’s at least enough local based players to get games consistently before the new FPS’ hit the market over the next few months. Having said that, US West server was very playable @190ms when I played on there so that gives you a bit more to play with.

Yeah, okay. Gunslinger is starting to click with me now. Had a blitzball match where I wrecked people. Still lost because my team couldn't score for the life of them but hey I got some gunslinger achievements out of it I guess.

Gotta give the newbies a bit of leeway. Some of them might not be used to the pace.
 
Fuck I love this game. The battle medic is a fucking boss and easily the most fun I've had playing support in maybe ever.

I really, really hope this has legs.

I'd be more okay with losing if my teams actually played the objective. Same problem I have in overwatch you just get those teams what want nothing to do with the objective and just treat the game like TDM.

After awhile that gets frustrating especially when you end up making some good plays and then nobody is there to support you and any window of opportunity that we had squandered.

Got an MvP and Win with Harrier on my first go. Fuck they are REAL good at being objective runners. Snatched a fully charged battery from the enemy base and got it to ours in like just seconds. Still need some work though I lost a ton of engagements that I prob should have won if I knew how to play the class better.

Still, lot of good learning tonight. Kind of mostly got my head around all of the classes now at a base level at least. Still just have a soft spot for terrorizing people with Titan though. >=)

Game will be even better once I don't have to fight all the hitching. \0/

Meh. Played it for about 70 minutes on PC. It's not for me. It's just boring to me. The movement is zippy, yet oddly clunky feeling. The objective gametypes are not very fun imo. The only character that I really enjoyed using was gun slinger. I don't like the hero shooter formula inside of this. It weakens the experience imo.
 
Awesome news about the hitching patch. That's fast work. Hopefully it fixes it completely.

I was a little worried that Harrier would be OP from pre-release stuff but I'm really happy at where they ended up. The concern is that hitscan + long range + good damage would hinder antigrav movement around mid, but that doesn't really seem to be the case. You can outdamage them with a good enforcer or gunslinger and up close they are no match for a vanguard. Harrier mobility is the shit though, and as good an objective runner as they are they are even better for chasing down the grabber. You can hit them with the slow then drop in close while tagging them the entire way.
 
Sorry if it came across that way, I swear I honestly consider above 5 deaths terrible for me in any FPS game and I was getting 50+ kills each match back in Beta so 40 didn't seem up to par. I wasn't sure what the average K/D was but I guess I don't have to worry about it >.>

For real, sorry if I came across as a dick, I don't have anyone else to play with so I wasn't sure how most matches play out. If anyone else is on PC and wants to group up I'd love to.

You know there is this little thing call esports right now where you can make a dam good living?? Get yourself streaming and get yourself picked up ;)

Ya that's what I was thinking, but these days i just feel like if I'm going to pick up an mp focused game I would like to play it for quite sometime, especially since I seem to enjoy them quite a bit (rip homefront, section 8, gothamcity imposters and blacklight I barely knew your greatness). Also AUD 40 is quite difficult to swallow for something that might be dead in a month :(
 
The female harrier design. So******* good. The one with her hair literally on fire is... Fire! lol

She is so fine. And fly.

My FB feed keeps advertising this game with her as the image. The algorithm has good taste, as does this game.

The Harrier designs is the kind of stuff that would have pushed me into game development in the 90's. All I had was like, Jax and Barret growing up.

Good to hear about the quick fix. This looks like a blast, and since I have run out of games to play until D2 hits, I might pick this up tonight on the ps4.
Looking at the character videos, most of them look fun. It'll be hard to choose one.

Movement and gun play looks a lot like Titanfall 2. Would you say this is true?
The player count on Steam is a concern. One of the reasons I haven't bought this yet.

Not at all tbh. Gunplay feels like a gorier/punchier Overwatch.

Movement varies from each character, but it's still not really comparable imo. It's more floaty due to zero G.

The Wraith feels straight out of Titanfall 2. Nothing from overwatch touches his sheer mobility. Triple jumps, wall jumps, slides + a dash.

Vanguard and Harrier are from like... Tribes.

The rest of the cast are kinda overwatchy in mobility

In terms of gunplay... I don't think it feels like overwatch at all. It's a lot more skill-based (and that's not an insult to overwatch).

Thank you, I'll look into posting some cool plays that happen here on GAF for now and consider it in the future :D

This happened earlier and I thought it was pretty cool -

It happens really quick so I made a slower version that shows how I lined it up

This was my first time with 40+ kills on Harrier. I've only previously done it on Wraith and Enforcer.

It's even more satisfying because I supported my team's ass off too. She is SOOOO FUN! I think this is my highest S+ score too.

Nice job dude :D She's such a well designed character, I love her.

Why do you care so much how many hundreds of people are playing at the same time? You only need 9 others to play. In all my time with the beta and the full game matchmaking has been breezy, the games mostly balanced and connection (hitching aside) excellent (PS4).

If you like what you see, I'd say go for it! If you're on Steam you can always refund in the unlikely event that you can't find games.

Also, not true. It's actually much better than Titanfall 2. It's like Titanfall 2 squared. And I like Titanfall 2.

Via Discord:
@everyone ‪PS4 - Hitching issue patch has passed Sony QA. It will be available to download by 6:30am PDT / 9:30am EDT / 3:30pm CEST. We appreciate your patience!‬
 
Was really suprised that i found myself liking the majority of the classes :p

Vanguard, Medic, Juggernaut, Wraith and Gunslinger all feel great.

and looking the posts here many seem to have found some favourites among the gamemodes and classes :D great success in that regard!

Anyone else feels like the reward/progression system needs updating? It's fun getting boxes early, but then it takes significantly longer. I feel like we should have things that are only unlocked with in-game achievements.

Also, I spent $15 last night...so maybe their strategy is working lol.

TRANCE!!!! Why u do this?
 
The only real issue I'm having with this game is the team balancing. Five games lost in a row and all of them I had a score rank of A and up.

Honestly it's taking the fun right out of the game.

Eh, don't mind supporting good products and got a lot of stuff I wanted. I'll be playing this game for a while.

It sucks because of skilled based matchmaking.
 
I guess the taking fun out part was a bit of a leap because this is probably the most I've played an mp game in ages. Just wish the matchmaking lead to more evenly matched games.
