It's important to note that the PC beta is from a much older build of the game then that of the demo versions on the 360 and PS3. They have such things as the removal of the blurry sniper scope and a modified damage model so people actually die when you fire 40 bullets into them at close-range. >_>

I wish I could play it at a decent frame rate on the PC :(

My friends are all getting the Xbox version, but I'm shocking at that (from the 3 rounds I've played :x)

I got a beta key from another thread, played this game for about 2 hours. I am now thoroughly convinced NOT to buy it.

This for me, apparently the system requirements are equal or above crysis levels, of all my games this is the only one that I find unplayable, that and that the available beta map is very sniper friendly and very spammable.

I guess I don't like it partially through a combination of me just not ever liking realistic fps's, and partially due to the fact that I kept getting killed from nowhere, I always felt like I was a sitting duck when I went for the objective (no cover or the like), and snipers galore!

The final straw for me was when I got sniped just as I spawned. Five times in a row.

I see the potential here, but I guess I'm just not the target audience.

I dont know, i dont see an option to show fps ingame, and dont have anything like fraps installed, and instead of the ping, it only shows a " - ", so i can only guess which servers may be ok...

Right now I wish they'd fix a gameplay issue where a single Recon can take down any of the objectives without warning. All he has to do is have enough C4 (and there's a specialization which doubles how much you can carry) and he can blow the thing to smithereens without "arming" any charges, no warning to either team, no chance to defuse, etc.

So far in the demo, the defending team generally wins except when one of the attackers is aware and equipped to exploit the tactic.

The patch today decreased the amount of damage c4 does to the point. I think you need 15 or 20 to kill it now.

nice

is the max level to achieve in the beta 11? because level 12 takes like 200,000 points

I'll hop on soon and see if performance is any better for me, the main thing I found was that Recon's pretty much had free reign with their own weapons with most just sitting on top the hill sniping people or shooting down with tanks, then again, I only played that one game which we won defending without them getting even A so maybe I'm just being picky, snipers may get the most kills if they camp but they're not gonna win, probably just me. Or my tendencies towards the shorter sightlines of tf2 :p

They need to improve the HUD for reviving teammates.

Sometimes the minimap shows revive-able teammates who are actually mostly-buried in the terrain or physics stuff.

I'd just like the range/detection of the Defibrillator to be slightly increased/improved. Nothing shits me more than trying to revive somebody and having to do it again because it didn't register. :facepalm:
