I have one spare beta key. Won it in a competition but realized afterwards that I don't actually have live gold so the key is unused. Send me mail via trust if you want it.
I love the spawn system in this game... I was playing capture the leader (I was the leader), fast forward a few minutes into the game and I'm pinned down in my own spawn and the next thing I hear is a shotgun from behind, yep the game decided it would be a fantastic idea to spawn the enemy right next to me while I am the objective
I've seen that happen time and time again on one of the maps. There is a slight slope out of the spawn area. The other team were constantly respawning around the captured enemy.

Man, I can't believe they've shipped and charged for a game with these kind of game breaking bugs, they should have been squashed at beta... O WAIT.

The game has not changed since GoW1. Spawns are something that should have been sorted many years ago.
They really need to fix it for the full game or there's no way i'll be playing TDM or CTL.
Having enemies spawn right next to me isn't fun. Or spawning next to a cornered team mate is no good either.
On friday I spawned and started running,thought "i'm not locust am I?". No I wasn't - the game had spawned me and somebody from the other team in exactly the same place at the same time

Hardly a beta though is it? They can call it what they like, but it's still just a Multiplayer demo. Sure they will use feedback from the public beta to improve things, but the spawn system should have been one of the first things they got right when creating new game modes.
Having a harder time rolly pollying up to people to kill them in 1-2 shots? Such a shame. The lancer in fine as it is, just try using cover instead of charging at people with a shotgun constantly.
Indeed. Lancer is fine, average damage, pretty accurate at range, and rapid fire.
Retro Lancer is also well balanced, packs a good punch, but the range of usefulness is about half that of the Lancer.
The only rifle that feels underpowered to me is the Hammershot. Yes it's got awesome accuracy, but it's just so weak. Supposedly same power as the Lancer, but due to its single shotness it's very hard to get kills with as people will just get into cover or dive around, which is hard to track while looking down the sights. I feel personally that it should have the same strength as the Retro Lancer, but with awesome accuracy, but limited by its slow single shot refire rate.
The gun that seems most overpowered atm is the Gnasher. It's range is far too high for a shotgun. At medium range it's 50/50 if I'll win a straight fight when using a Lancer, which is crazy. It's range needs reducing to about double that of the sawn off.
I can't use the retro lancer for toffee
So it's 100 games, then 100 kills with the gold lancer to bring it over to retail?
Any other things?
Unlock Thrashball Cole then play 10 matches as him to unlock him.
If you play a match every week you'll unlock flaming weapon skins and you get to keep them as well.
I'm a bit bored of the beta now. I'm just going to get all the unlockables and stop playing it. The actual game is very good and a vast improvement over 2 but playing the same 4 maps is boring now.

90 Games + 100 kills with the gold lancer.
Hardest part is the 90 games, took ages, TDM seems to be the fastest mode to get the games in.
Then do KOTH to get a 100 easy kills, took me about 3 games to get the 100.
