I got accepted into the beta back in march but couldnt really play much because of bad updater and game problems. Well I started playing again today and I'm amazed. Move over Battlefield series, there is a new top dog in town =] Servers can support easy 200 players, the maps have a day/night cycle, the maps are also very huge. Welp, thats all I'm really allowed to say heh, there is still an NDA thingie.

I played the open beta and it was kinda lame. The vehicles were cool but there were not enough so 50% of the team was waiting for transport at the base. Also, people kept killing their own teams choppers. The weapons were also kind of lame.

I played the open beta

was that the demo?

The closed beta still has the NDA on it and few days ago was the latest update =P Also... I like how the gravity pulls the bullets down when shooting long range with sniper =] Its slick, you gotta use a combination of binaculars to determine the distance to line up your shots =]

The weapons were also kind of lame.

How so? They're pretty modern.

Yeah, what I played was the public prerealease demo. I just did not like the feel of the weapons. They did not seem to animate well when they reloaded and the set seemed kind of unbalanced. No one ever used the mp5 or anything. Still, the game clearly has potential and could be awesome when it comes out.

heh there is no better feeling then to nail down a transport chopper with 10+ people inside with a heat-seeking shoulder-fired missle =P I really love this game. One thing I didnt like about the BF series is how small the maps were and how crammed up the servers been even with 30 people. Here the battlefields are HUGE and with 200+ people there is so much open space to run peacefully around and choosing your targets wisely =]

One thing I noticed, when playing as a sniper, after making a kill its a good idea to move out because generally after 2 or 3 kills someone from behind me comes up and shoots the crap out of me in the back.
