Posted August 25, 200619 yr Some pics from the first day on the BETA server. I will post more tonight. Launch pods!!!! You feel like a meteor on re-entry. The walker. Ahh yes the walker is cool. The rocket launches Explosions Weapon modeling and crosshairs. Variety of weapon types. Some cool specialty weapons and abilities. Load speeds and smoothness of play. My game only went to desktop once. EMP short circuits. Mix and match your equipment. Could actually be to cumbersome to configure. No red bug (yet) Aircraft easy to handle and I think balanced. Once you got a feel for it pretty addicting. TV Guided missiles suck - need to tweak controllers. You have to reset all 1 million control buttons. Server crashes!! We finally got on some stable ones later in the night. Stupid mute of microphone on game load. Gator TK'd me about 3 times!!! Aircraft weapons weak and they are hard to reload/repair. Could be better.... Commander mode. Comm console seems hard to read. Snow effect - kinda looks like an MS winter screensaver. Capping points is by far the most important part of the game. You kill someone you get 1 point only. Same with vehicles. You can waste a lot of time on killing and get almost nothing for a score. A score of 20-30 right now can get you a gold medal. Overall game score 8 of 10 I think with a little work could be a 9. /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186825_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186832_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186839_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186844_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186851_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186855_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-1024-130810186859_thumb.jpg

August 25, 200619 yr Yes, I had a blast. I also had 2 stabbing victims in a row (very rare for Gator anyway), and it was brutal (on my part). I got 2 sets of dog tags added to my collection. I also made 3 promotions (easy and fast to get) and got 3 unlocks. I chose the Squad Spawn Beacon. It is way cool, and when you spawn, a Spawnpod drops you in and the animation is awsome.

Yeah - the pod drop is like a super fast parachute drop while you're on fire.
August 25, 200619 yr looks cool. cant wait to get my hands on it. oh and for the "Stupid mute of microphone on game load"....anyone know how to fix this for BF2? Mine does this all the time
August 25, 200619 yr So do you think it will be worth it as a choice for our clan to Follow? Will it just occupy some of us until something better comes along or until BF2 gets patched decently?
August 25, 200619 yr does that freind thing work ive tried it on my copy but cant seem to find any of you
August 25, 200619 yr So do you think it will be worth it as a choice for our clan to Follow? Will it just occupy some of us until something better comes along or until BF2 gets patched decently? The jury is out on deliberation, but I can tell you that I had a fun time playing it, and look forward to some more action. I think most folks will enjoy the game, but I wouldn't throw my copy of BF2 out of the window just yet. It is very cool though.

Some cool effect like the EMP going off and short circuiting the tanks.

I think most folks will enjoy the game, but I wouldn't throw my copy of BF2 out of the window just yet. It is very cool though. Don't forget what we thought about BF2. I agree the games fun but to date the patches haven't really improved alot. Granted its the damn cheaters that keep screwing things up but dang its getting rediculous. I used to have a great framerate averaged 70 but was getting mid 90's when the game first came out but now im lucky to hit high 30's, and on some maps now i hit the teens...
August 26, 200619 yr They keep optimizing. Optimizing you to buy better equipment. I am sure they get the nudge from the Manufacturers. "Hey turn up the graphics now that the game is popular." It is easily done with a patch.
August 26, 200619 yr think the game is alright just hate the dang lag but its a beta I have no lag. Make sure your connection is set to "Cable" and not "T1" Also, be sure to play on the GER servers. The ones in the states suck and are laggy. It a shame we have to go to GEr to get good gaming.
