Really digging this. There's the airborn craziness of halo but amped up, hulking bodies of Gears and a little bit of tank warfare. Definitely grabbing this day one.

Just did 2 hours on this and I utterly love it! Ive had a great big smile on my face the whole time. The controls are excellent, transforming works brilliantly and the vehicles aren't overpowered (something I was worried about). Cant wait till the full game hits so I can try out the other 2 classes along with all the extra abilities you get while levelling up. It probably helps that I appear to be half decent at it as I seem to be top or there a bouts on the scoreboard. I even went 12-0 when I joined a friend mid-match 
On a side note, respawning has been handled really well as it always seems to put you away from danger. I think I got 'spawn killed' just twice in a dozen or so games of TDM.

Can you really stay invisible forever and with no consequences? Someone explain how this works to me please...
I don't usually pimp my own shit here, but I played the full multiplayer mode a few weeks ago:

It's pretty awesome. Like, way more awesome than I expected, even if it's dumb that half the classes are locked in the demo.

Is this game in some way comparable to the absolute awesomeness of WARHAWK? Does the gameplay appear to be deep enough in term of strategy and skill required?

As someone who only cared about SP and didn't expect to play MP more than a day, this was incredibly fun and I can see myself losing a couple weeks to MP when the game comes out. Also screw these assholes running around in classic Devastator color schemes. I want that!

You could always play it on a computer monitor. They're like $5 at Goodwill.EzLink said:

So yeah ...this shit is fantastical
Strikes a great balance in that robots in disguise are hard to take down ala Halo-style but your not committed to a fight as your can instantly flee and come back later from another angle. Hell I went minutes at a time without dieing but racking up the kills due to guerilla tactics.
Abstract art is also a very welcome change. Feel like I could play it in front of my son
At this point the most difficult thing is disassociating it from Poopy BayFormers. Shouldn't be to hard though...

Hmm... If you have a receiver you can use an optical cable. Otherwise, there's an 2xRCA female->1/8 (headphone) female cable at Radioshack you can use to hook it up to PC speakers. My personal recommendation is to get an A440 Mixamp and a good pair of headphones (like the AD700s) for surround sound.EzLink said:

I will grab this when I get home from work. I was hoping for a single player demo, but I guess I will have to settle for this.
Takes a little getting use to transforming and staying mobile, and I keep getting connection error for the Conquest mode.
EDIT: DAMN this game is fun. Once everyone has the controls down/manuvering transformed mode and dashing, its amazing.
If the SP is just as fun, this will be the best Transformers game.
Nothing feels overpowered so far, close quarters combat feels pretty tense, and the framerate is pretty stable...aside from zooming in with the sniper. No music in MP except for "countdown" music near the end of the match.
If anything, the game feels like a nice combo of Shogo (except not an FPS), Virtual On, Gears, and Call of duty. Definitely making a playlist for this.
Oh and when you go invisible, once you shoot, it drops.

Dig the mp, good stuff. Can't wait for the full game, just hope it has some length to it.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Played a few matches. I am really liking it will be the full game. Playing this game while listening to the Transformers the movie soundtrack is so badass. Especially listening to The Touch while shooting everyone.
Oh wow. I thought the game was semi-alright when I played TDM.
But Conquest is fantastic.
And I got level 3 in the first match, too. It was great.
Best scene and I wish I had a video but I still have to explain it:
This is looking from B onto the room with the window that connects the (B) point with either (A) or (C)
I was fighting one guy alone at A (in the pic) but neither one of us died and I had only a sliver of health left and I presume he had too, so he retreated.
So I did a double jump dash into the window at B and backstabbed him because he was looking at the A entrance.
I didn't know you can get through that window, but you can as a scout. It was great! :-D

I hate multiplayer only demos. why do companies do this? I get to play a deathmatch with generic robots and no characters. so my first fucking impression of the game is that it's generic and mindless.
I saw demo. I got excited. I saw "multiplayer demo". I died a little inside.

I'm thinking that it's because they want to put their best foot forward.HorribleJames said:
Im pretty sure thats not the reason. Sony is very 'open' as they say(open platform) and arent as strict as MS. Thats why custom soundtracks/picture-snap features arent supported by most devs as Sony doesnt force them to included them so more or less Demos fall into the same thing. Demos are not mandatory(something XBL always has) so most of the time, devs on PS3 skip demo/trial versions.SAB CA said:
