I suppose thats what betas and demo's are for - there was alot of hype with this game, and i thought with teh delays they might be improving it, but in the extra time they took they seemed to have ruined it from the first screenshots i saw.

Shame really, but at least we've all had the chance to make our decisions before forking out alot of money and we'll just have to wait for the next game in the line.

Munter - Fileplanet is worth it when they bring out patches for things as 9times out of then their downloader is quick - especially with bf2 patches that they release on a weekly basis to balls up the game some more Smile

Thanks ghetto, used the download a bit today and it is well fast, worth 20 quid I'd say!

As for the game, well I want to fookin well cry almost, was sooo geared up for it since seeing early stuff almost 18 months ago and then played the demo - lame lame lame lame lame ..... did I mention it was lame!

I can see what they're doing, fire up a copy of the classic quake 3 team arena and it's obvious they're playing on the nostalgia / heritage side of things. But IMHO they made it look shit, funny thing is that the original promotional video looked excellent graphically !

So much so I bought an 8800GTS to run it a full whack ......

Or maybe it's a conspiracy and the beta is nothing at all like the finished game?

Here's hoping?

After watching all the vid's on the ETQW website and waiting for soooo long for this game and forking out £20 to subscribe to FilePlanet I hope I ain't gonna be disappointed Crying or Very sad

Still, the fast downloads for patches etc. as a registered user are nice!

What's the general feeling - same old same old type of game, a BF2 rip-off?

Cheers

(and wtf is up with BF2 stats, played it after a 6 month break, loved it again but about 1000 points not been credited for nearly a week Evil or Very Mad

)

exactly NOT. i dunno why people are expecting battlefield, this game is alot more infantry focused faster and in reality has almost no direect comparison with bf2.

Oh noes! What a waste of E3 video downloads and time spent on the internet drooling over previews. When oh when will someone *anyone* release a decent game on-time.
