Looking forward to it! I never got in on the FP beta.

 

[Molondo]

Me too, i waited the whole summer for this.

 

[Modelworks]

Been playing the beta for some time.
Its a pretty good game. A little bit too arcadish.
Die /respawn loop can be really quick.
Strategy is also a problem as you get 16 people on your team all trying to do there own thing and often losing the goal.

 

[James Bond]

I wonder how much better it will be than the beta?

I played first rounds of beta.. did they improve at all in later builds?

Welcome to objective based FPS. This happens a lot, but I still love playing them all the same.

Are you playing as the prettier team? (i.e. not the aliens) I shall officially dub it the WoW effect, where if you're Alliance, you will lose battlegrounds (team-based PVP) because everyone will just try and kill the enemy and ignore the objectives.

Man, I'm glad we're getting a full-fledged demo. I signed up for the BETA, but the Key I got wouldn't work.

Greetings! /Strogg

 

[Modelworks]

The last beta is very playable.
Really no glaring bugs.
The map they used for beta was valley and it was sort of one sided where the Strogg had the upper hand.
Valley is a map where the strogg have to stop a mcp from crossing a bridge that has to be constructed.
The biggest gripe with that is the strogg players will often sit back with a rail gun sniping engineers trying to get the bridge built.
There are counters to it, but most people in the beta are hoping they release a map that isn't as one sided.

The maps are big, sometimes too big if you have to run a long way it can take awhile.
Most people take off in the vehicles without even considering someone else might need a lift.
Using an APC as a tank happens alot.

Still its a lot of fun and when you do get teamwork happening it can really shine.

And the other thing I love about it, Its OpenGL so I don't have to hear people , is it dx10, what features does it use, does it look better than dx9

 

[Polish3d]

I couldnt even play the beta (if you're talking about the 2nd one) it was more buggy for me than the 1st

 

[jersiq]

Splash Damage website with a list of mirrors for download.

Unfortunately, I was left out on the closed beta. I have played ET for ~ 5 years (or at least since I got turned onto it from RTCW Multi Player)

Set the download to run while I am at work, so when I get home I can fire it up.

I'm quite impressed with this demo. My internet connection sucks butt, and I got some great pings. Also no crashing, it runs like a dream on my system, also runs great if I'm using bots. I think I'm going to buy this

Bots you say? If it's got bots.. then I'm definitely gonna give it a serious "buy"...

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I'm currently DLing. No comments yet? Looks like only 1 or 2 people have the demo that are posting.

My fear is my hardware. I am near the bottom end of the hardware requirements. No new rig till next year so I might have to deal with waiting.

 

[gorcorps]

DLing now. Nice to see a package at less than 750mb as the last few demos I've tried were 1.2gig or more and took way too long to download.

 

[CrystalBay]

It's very fun ,runs good , bots are decent... been playing for a few months and the demo fixed some balancing issues with beta 2....

 

[SexyK]

Very fun, been playing for about 90 minutes now and I'm lovin it so far.

 

[SEAL62505]

Played for about 5 - 10 minutes and had a hard time getting into it... I am sure part of it is that i need to learn the difference in controls over the battlefield series (since that is about the only game like that I have played)

 

[neothe0ne]

I guess my biggest shock was that it ran a hell of a load better than Call of Duty 2 on my rig, and even looks better too. It also works in Vista completely unlike Call of Duty 2, which started working with 163.67 Forceware but still randomly crashes -__- Seems like a very fun multiplayer game, a good contrast to CSS.

I'm glad they have a torrent for it, getting 650kB/s easy.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I like it. I like the persistent rewards you get. I just hope they're persistent between games in retail. You seem to "level up" a bit fast though - I got up to level 13 Oppressor by the end of a game. There's nothing like calling down a Dark Matter Cannon strike on an area, though.

 

[cmdrdredd]

This game was a disappointment for me. Graphics nothing to write home about, sounds are kinds off, and the game feels unpolished the way the movement is and the controls are a bit sluggish. Vehicles seem underpowered too. I won't buy it, just wait for UT3.

On the upside it runs great 8xAA 16xAF and getting good fps (never stutters but didn't fraps it).

 

[n7]

I forgot about this coming out.

Gonna install it here & at least see how it runs before going to bed.

I doubt it'll be my type of game TBH, but i'll check it out anyway.
