So while this painfully long download is occurring, I got curious and looked up the IPs that my PS3 is connecting to for the download. They're based out of Amsterdam *wtfface*
:'(I've played about 7 great games and had about 7 games freeze. Overall, I'm really enjoying it.
Personally, I think it's good for an early beta (and the first few hours at that). I remember some of the PS2 early betas where the game was unplayable for a week (Socom II in particularly - but they fixed it). I'm having fun. I don't think restarting a game every 20-40 minutes is horrific for the 1st day of a beta, and I've had quite a few maps run to completion with 16-24 people in it.
I'm sorry some of you are having worse luck.

So can anyone tell me how the gameplay, graphics etc is? I don't wanna read through all the pages.
Ok... Let me start off by saying that this game is HORRIBLE. I know it's just a beta and everything, but if they want it to impress me they better revamp the whole entire game. From what i've played in the beta so far... it's nothing but glitch fest 2007.
The aiming system is ****ing horrible. It's close to impossible to aim at somebodies head unless you have a sniper rifle because the auto aim sticks to everyones chest. As a matter of fact... there is no aiming in this game. There's been a couple of times where i've killed someone when i wasn't even aiming at them.
The controls are awful. To reload you have to use the d-pad. When using the d-pad you have to hit it in the direction of your weapon or else instead of reloading it will switch to another weapon. Flying a warhawk is a nightmare.
The graphics aren't horrible, but they're not great either. They hurt.
I'm sorry is this sounds kind of harsh, but this game is not even an 8.

So pretty much what you're saying is, unless some drastic changes, stay away from this game?

If you think the controls are good then you're biased. I'm sorry, but somebody needs to be the bad guy and start telling the truth. You can qoute me on this so when the reviews start coming out you'll see that they mention everything i've said.

So are people using motion controls or what. Still downloading here.
Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've read all day.
SpacLock said:
Wait, nevermind. :lol
By the way, I know now why it hasn't froze on me...I bail before it gets a chance to.
When you can't get into vehicles or pick up weapons, immediately exit the game. It's going to freeze if you don't.
I know that's ridiculous, but now I know why I've had such good luck. :lol

Actually he didn't say the graphics are bad.
I have no problems with the graphics. The game looks like it did in the direct feed trailers.
Aiming in the planes is hard but seems fine.
Aiming with tank works fine.
But no, you can't aim for someone's head with anything but the sniper rifle. I agree there. It's impossible.

What a load of shit

Have you considered that it might be related to your own skill level or your personal preferences vs the mechanics of the game, and not the game itself? I'm not going to agree or disagree with you because I value my spot in this beta, but your argument here is pure shit.

Spaclock 1st post at 3:12am I'm going to play 2nd post at 3:26am this game is thrash the controls are f'd up all after 14minutes of game play. never mind learning the controls. In your 1st post when you say you've been playing it you could have stated those obvious things that doesn't look to good.
Learn the controls 1st, I had a difficult time as well because of controls but you learn as you go and chatting with others online. Unfortunately its online so you are not afforded the opportunity to learn in a safe environment. So suck it up Capt.

I'm playing the beta. I'm not going to give my impressions here as I want to keep my spot in this beta, but I'll say that your argument is shit. Once you started throwing around the "I'm the only one in this whole choir who is singing in key", your whole ****ing presence here dove face first into shit.
