Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

More public Keys available at fileplanet!
Can we play it all before tomorrow?
Motherfucker. apparently not anymore
edit: it might just be eu issues
WEIRD when I go there it says public keys: Keys available I'll clear my cache and check again just to be sure. I noticed because of an update from teamxbox.com a few mins ago.
I need to pick up a gold account now.....
I almost forgot that was today! We need a gamertag list going of those playing. Add me, if you haven't already, so we can get into some games together!
Edit: Or I could make a PA Battlefield profile. What do you guys think?
I'll check it every day for new joins. It's only a beta so far, and while the buzz might not be so huge yet on Penny-Arcade, I imagine the game will kick up once we start playing it and more PR gets out come release. Seriously, the gameplay looks like a lot of fun with full destructibility of the environments - trees, buildings, etc. It should prove for some interesting matches. So if you're in the beta or are looking forward to the game, you can send a friend request to PA Battlefield!
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
So the servers are up? I guess I should pop in and play! And I'm sure it'll get better. I imagine they just came up, and people are probably flooding them. Net code will get worked out, too, before release.
Edit: There's a message at the top of the screen about the servers. "Servers are now live, but we're experiencing performance issues - We are looking into it, thank you for your patience."
And the good news is that the beta will go on until release day, so we'll have access to it and the two maps until June.
Make sure to add me and/or PA Battlefield to your buddy list. You're going to have fun, man. I just drove a fucking tank through a building. Other games? The small, brick wall would be a nice barrier for your massive tank. This game? I ran right fucking through the side of it. The destructibility is just so fun.
The desert map is the best of the two. It has all the vehicles in it, after all. I raped so many tiny soldiers with the Abrams while they were hiding in buildings. That shit don't fly here, boys. I blew the wall right on top of them.

I'm really digging the Support class. It gets a light machine gun, can heal itself or others, and can take out enemy vehicles or repair friendly vehicles with a handy tool. It's kind of like the wrench in past games, so you have to get in close to use it, but I haven't had too many trouble taking out tanks with it in the tight, urban areas of the desert map.
Anyways, I'm 300 points away from another promotion. It's 8:15 AM and I haven't gone to sleep yet, and I don't think I can with this beta out! It's so fun! I'll jump on the PA Battlefield profile first and add the rest of you if you sent any requests.
Both times I tried to get in they ran out of keys right before.

So I've got another unlock point, and I think I'll use it on the second Support weapon, the MG36. Good game so far. We need to get on together later today.
Will be playing after classes
And you'll have to excuse all my posting.
Edit: If anyone wants, I could try and make a new thread with a bunch of information and screens of the game, or is this one fine for now?

Arguments over which Support will follow Enders around and drop medkits for him in 5... 4..
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
EDIT: Also, do destroyed buildings/terrain regenerate over time?

There are 10 weapons that do not come with the regular version. 5 of them you can acquire through promotional codes and the other 5 you only get if you purchase the LE.
So yeah... if you want the "full game" you need to purchase the LE. Way to go, EA.
I'm not saying these 5 weapons are super special or that I event want them, but having to pay extra for content that was created along with the rest of the game is insulting and a small taste of things to come.
Oh oh my Live name is SpanWolf (duh.. points down) and anybody that adds me just send a Live Note letting me know you're from PA.
Also I haven't played yet but tactical idea, Tank Sniping! Basically imagine a regular sniper, but if he weighed a few dozen tons. You can drive your tank through walls right.. well imagine driving your tank through the back wall of a building and up to the front wall but not through it. You just put your cannon out the front window and lie in wait for unsuspecting victims. This tactic wouldn't work for long, but you could probably get a handful of kills while people try to figure out where the hell tank shells are coming from when they see no tanks and just buildings!
