Ok the one person I know who is in says --->
| Quote: |
First impressions of the beta, its a bit consoley, weapons are'nt terribly accurate and don't feel all that powerful and the graphics are awash with postprocessing effects. I'd have to say it's all a bit doughy at the moment.
Could have some fun with it though, just needs refinement for the pc. Also where the f**k is prone? |
|2es initial impressions please!  |

hmmm honest opinon not a lot at the moment
Connection horrid and lag issues didn't help..
In the player movement I cant help but feel restricted
Graphic wise I am not really over impressed, its does not seem a touch on cod4 or cod 5 in my eyes
When I played COD4 for the first time I thought WOW this is cool and I had the same feeling for COD5 but I cant say I had that first impression:cry:
I`ll stop at slagging the game off for now
I`ll give it time.
Cheers

Aye, pretty luke warm myself tbh. Connection is average but then again it is testing. Some of the bloom effects are pretty annoying but that might be my rig trying to keep up! Sniping was fun though until it crashed! Now to try again...
Also MW2 seemed to have more of a wow factor on initial play.
Even so these are initial thoughts after only a few minutes play, I'm sure it will rock  |

Would seem to be a major problem atm, game crashes evertime you try and browse the servers...  |

As the ingame server search doesnt work I guess we must be connecting to any server prob in the US, connection could be being lost just for that reason

i'd love to give my opinion, if play.f*ck$%g com had sent my email with beta key as they should've. tried the fileplay option but had no luck. when i try to get password reminder as forgot it, it says there's a prob & support is notified. when i make a new one,i click on link in confirmation email and it says the code is not right.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh  |

Played on a few UK servers, for ambience and sound effects 9/10!!
When you can connect it is pretty bloody good, the funny thing is once you complete a round it quits the game and boots you to desktop!
I'm sure |2es members will be happy once they have tried it a few times. Got mine on medium settings and it looks good and plays great...when it plays...! |

Yep had two games no with no probs at all only running on Medium settings with max res as seemed to get choppy when i switched to high. Only accasional lag experienced mainly when someone taking objective weirdly. Not bad for opening day of Beta. Obviously reminds me more of battlefield 2 than any other game. White snow level very glarish had to turn brightnes down to see anything. Otherwise was chaotic had not a clue what i was doing but still enjoyed the experience very much.
Gonna hve to get used to the cover system the amount of times I hid behind a fence or wall to have someone nade it was laughable. |
