    Awesome! I just grabbed my key. I'm on a slower internet now, so it'll take me some time to download it. I'm going to go do that now, though.

    BloodyRoarXX now that the thread is created I'd take some time to develop the op a bit with beta impressions, I'd link the IGN article from last night if I were you and throw in a couple screenshots.

    Initial verdict:

    AWESOME

    You can get these backpacks that give you a special power, like jetpack, increased damage, faster running, a shockwave and rhino. Rhino lets you do a bullrush and blow through walls and knockdown players. It's like being the Kool-aid man, but with guns!

    Indeed. I have quite enjoyed myself. Those backpack power-up things add a nice bit to the game. Nothing is better than busting through a wall and ruining someone's day with a sledge hammer to the face.

    You can only tear down buildings but it's pretty impressive. One of the maps has those big two-story bunker things, and at one point I saw 3 of my teammates just going at it with sledgehammers and explosives. A bit later the first floor blew out and the top crashed down, crushing one of em to death.

    I only played on one small map, but it's got some potential. I did think the rifles killed you too fast, though. I need to play on a better map. Does it come with more than one?

    Looks like it has 2, the small one with bunkers and a larger one with stone pillars and metal walls.

    The game has a gun that fires shurikens. I think that is all anyone really needs to know.

    No. There's no landscape destruction. I've been in the beta for quite awhile now so I should know.

    The retail version is going to have it, right?

    Signed up, will play later tonight.

    Painkiller. It also shoots lightning, obviously.

    Okay, you found one other game with a shuriken firing gun.

    Also, I would still consider it a Red Faction game considering you can turn all the buildings on a map to rubble if you put your mind to it. So, yeah, I would say the trademark destruction is still there.

    And hopefully terrain destruction will be available in the full version.

    I am not a subscriber so I can't get into the beta but the news of no terrain destruction makes me sad. I loved it in the first game and I surely hope this one has it as well (though it doesn't mean I won't buy it if it's not in, I have heard very good things about this game).

    It's pretty fun. Melee is actually practical and pretty fun, specially when combo'd with a good pack, like Rhino {which let's you charge forward in a straight burst, killing/knocking back any players in front of you, as well as go through anything that's destructible, like walls. It's neat charging through a wall only to kill a guy just walking by on the other side.

    Also going to the second floor on one of the buildings gives you det packs, so you can somewhat blow up the stairs and just use the top floor as a safe spot to kill people from.

    I love Rhino. I picked it up and used it against a building, slamming through the wall. To my surprise, I ended up slamming into an enemy inside the building, as well. I only played on the small map, which I didn't like too much, so I'll have to play it again and try out the other one.

    I yelled just a moment ago. I was playing and just picked up the concussion pack and ran across a new gun which I picked up as well when a guy ran up on me. I blasted him with the concussion wave and as he fell in front of me I went to shoot him only to hear several clicks before he got up and smashed my face in with the hammer. I had him at my mercy and the gun I picked up was bone dry.

    Oh for the days of automatic weapon swap. I remember this happening to me in Turok 2, the game nicely switched from the empty plasma cannon to blisfully full gatling gun.
