    So this game pretty fun?

    After the first trailer or two I had decided that this looked like something I would enjoy immensely and have since been on a bit of a media blackout.

    yes, this game is a blast
    there are match-making problems, on account of if being a beta, which are being worked on
    there are only two maps, because it is a beta
    there are only two game types, hopefully because it is a beta

    but it is a blast
    there tons of different ways to set up your character
    the different gadgets are all really fun to use
    and the home made weapons are a treat to use

    Awesome, now I can go back to ignoring this until it comes out. :D

    Thank you!

    i am pretty sure it will cost money to buy the game, yes

    Games cost money? Who would've figured! Just because you get into the beta, doesn't mean you get the game for free.

    i think that poster thought the micro-transactions meant the game itself would be free, for some reason.

    Free-to-play games aren't an uncommon thing you know (BF Heroes and Play4Free, TF2 are but some examples in the same shooter genre). It's a fair assumption to make if there's a lot microtransations in this thing.

    Well, in pretty much all of the games I've seen with micro-transactions, when they have an effect beyond the cosmetic, they are free to play. Just seemed strange to me.

    yea, but you can unlock the stuff fairly quickly, for free


    if the weapons stats stay the ssame between now and release, i have a lot of stuff figured out

    Exactly. So, if a game has a ton of things you can purchase in game for real money, it is typically free to play? That is like every game ever. Haha.

    When does the game actually come out? The 7th? I am 100% sticking with the Ninja Smoke Bombs.

    I think the game is really cool. I haven't had a true experience, yet, since...well I'm just terrible at console shooters and I'm awaiting the PC experience. By the time I'm able to aim correctly with the PS3 analogs, I'm dead.

    Game is neat, kinda barren player wise on 360 though, hope it bulks out for the proper release.

    Do you unlock anything that makes the medic megaphone better? Heal seems pretty slow off it.

    Also roller skates are king.

    There is a button in the beta to buy costume pieces.

    The release date hasn't been announced. I doubt the 7th will be it, on account of the beta ending the 6th. I imagine the devs will want some time to fix things that have shown up in the beta, such as the serious flaws with match-making.

    I reached the 25 level limit. It looks like you can still play to unlock shit (that will be locked anyway when the game comes out).

    People in objective based modes are horrible. I played a few matches and we dominate and win in the first few minutes. Next few games are closer but we pretty much had it in the bag from the start. Next set is just my team getting dominated because they want to run in a swarm and capture one thing at a time.

    I swear, 95% of the games I play, I always have the most captures and am in the top 3-5 every time. My friends just got into the beta, so I will be enjoying this a bit more now.

    edit: Boy do I LOVE IT when the host quits. Two games in a row.

    edit: Like I said before, feel free to friend on on LIVE @ redfield85. I have been playing this nonstop.

    edit: This comes on next week. No waiting after the beta! Please tell me there is a group of you getting this for 360. I have maybe 1-2 people that will get this, but I would like to run with a full team.

    Planning to pick this up on 360 when it's out on wednesday. It looks like EXACTLY the kind of multiplayer FPS but with the crazy I've been wanting someone to do for YEARS.

    Did you try the beta? It was pretty fantastic. I was actually doing well for once in a FPS.

    Anyone in the beta get their game screwed up toward the end? Like, I was in a party with a friend and it said my game was team deathmatch while my friend (and everyone else) was playing capture the gaschamber. I assume this will be fixed and they were just testing stuff.

    Friend me! Redfield85 on 360. We can glide around and hold hands and throw batarangs together.

    Beta was phenomenal, despite the occasional hiccup. I'm surprised to see it go retail so quickly as I do think there are some much needed tweaks that need to be made - won't keep me from buying it, though.

    I can't seem to find anywhere how many maps will be included in retail or how many game types there are. Anyone know?

    This game is fun as hell. Since I unlocked the smoke bomb gadget, I've gotten the "most time spent cloaked" award every round because i literally cannot not stay cloaked all round every round. Then it's just stab stab stab and on to the next knife or rocket victim.

    Is time a gift or punishment?

    So 360's gonna be the PA playing field of choice, as is usual? I'm considering getting this, if only to make a lady joker with a shotgun.

    redfield85redfield85 Registered User regular
    I figure it is minimum 3 maps, 4 max. Game types I am guessing team death match, gaschamber, and battery.

    I might be on all day playing this tomorrow. Haha. I flew to level 25 in the beta. I expect to be level 1000 by next week!

    Just got this on 360. I've only played through some of the challenge maps, but it seems like it could scratch that crazy, arcadey FPS itch I've needed scratched so badly.

    Bought it on PC after enjoying the hell out of the PS3 beta.

    ...It needs some serious work. It feels terribly optimized on PC and there's a lot of shit literally missing or just outright broken. I can't count the number of times I've seen the word "Undefined" appear on my screen.

    Even on my monster PC running the game at default settings, it's choppy as hell. I really hope they patch the shit out of this game, because it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. The game is great, it just needs fixing.

    Make sure you're running it as Admin (for the fps issues).

    The official forums have a fan thread regarding fps issues as well. There are some suggestions in there to try, but no promises.

    why would you try one version of the game and buy another?

    Has anyone bought this yet? What are the other game types? How many maps are there? are the other maps as good as the two in the beta?

    I am dl right now. Not sure if I will be on much today because of family issues.

    So, in the XBLA full version, I am hoping the whole "undefined" thing before a multiplayer match doesn't happen. I don't want to be playing team deathmatch and the game telling me I am doing fumigation or whatever.

    I think faith in Monolith fixing the game up isn't out of the question either. Still, this sort of thing can have a really negative impact on player numbers for an online only title.
