Don't think the beta has all the latest/high res assets - probably to keep filesize down, etc.

Yeah they also have not allowed access to the advanced video settings - initial impressions is this could be the new Unreal Tournament of the generation - solid game play; all be it slightly simplistic compared to modern games
 
lol I cleared a long weekend Fri-Sunday to play this but unless they roll out a fix for mouse2 I'm gonna have to find something else to do with my time :S

EDIT: So I finally sorted that by resetting binds and binding in a very specific order but now next problem... I've got horrid mouse acceleration and split X/Y sensitivity and no access to config or console to fix it ffs.............

If I pull a fast view change definitely getting acceleration kick in and trying to draw a circle shape with the mouse comes out as an oval - very noticeable when I'm trying to hit air targets as I'm all over the place trying to get on target due to the difference in sensitivity in up/down and left/right :(
 
hopefully the graphics arnt final there is a advanced but cant touch it at moment. fps solid 60 doesnt move.hopefully can remove this cap.

at first you can get raped by people with better guns.level up a bit before you judge.

very doubt the 60fps lock will be removed, this engine is know for its 60fps lock.
60fps doesn't bother me it plays very smooth and it does run 144hz @60fps

I agree about the graphics though I don't think they final. I really want FOV slider though that is a must.
 
Don't think I'll be buying this the mouse feel and movement is horrid coming from previous id titles and the 60fps lock even with G-Sync feels yuck. Managed to get one game in and wall all over the place hardly able to aim or move.
 
Thank god I have the Beta, just cancelled pre order.
60fps lock sucks hard in an arena shooter, what were they thinking?
If this is sorted along with access to the console cmds I may reconsider.
Bad console port atm.
 
Guess am easy pleased these days 60fps is fine with me more than playable. Also everything is on a level playing field.

Roff just tried again there and my mouse feels perfectly fine mate.

Game for me is super smooth 144hz @60fps and Freesync is also working because I get no screen tear.
 
Its pretty nasty for me (could be something specific to my setup but other games including RAGE and WNO don't suffer from it) - I do play at 450dpi with 1:1 mapping though so stuff like that is very noticeable compared to if people are used to playing with ultra high DPI and/or not bothered by acceleration and so on.

This was my first go at it (and first time I've played an FPS game in a few months actually):


Really hating the movement - trying to strafe/strafe jump and just end up stumbling around like a cripple and might as well be aiming with a controller :( overshooting everything and really hard to quickly get on target or follow stuff that didn't move in a straight line.

It'll probably be quite successful IMO in console space but on the PC there are way too many compromises for my tastes.
 
yes i think it is definitely more console based game for mp. saying that i got a bettr gun now makes killing a lot better but the movements speed isnt like yesteryear.

when it gets really caotic though performance is very good.no fps drops.
 
I think the movement takes abit of time to master. For example you hit a faster speed when landing from a jump. Combined strafe with jump pack etc you can pull off some nice moves.
Me and some guy was battling 1 vs 1 we was jumping over each other it was really fun

The basic movement though feels very dead, seems to have been designed to compliment console input and doesn't have the fluidity of older id games - the more I play the more I want to play quake 3 instead :S
 
My 2500K didn't seem to be a bottleneck but my 7950 at full tilt caused drops below 60fps at the most chaotic times. Definitely sensed some mouse acceleration which didn't make it feel nice to play. Already uninstalled, didn't like it at all.

What the hell?

At first I was hyped but the more I see about the multiplayer the worse it gets. Stupid CoD-style loadouts? Permanent mouse acceleration? 60fps lock?

Sounds like it's going to be a joke.
 
I'm trying hard to keep in mind that it's a very limited beta. If it were 1999 and a whole host of MP games that have come along since had never existed, I might like it. However it's not, and I don't. It feels very Quake 3.

Unless there's a single player campaign to rival Half Life, I'm out.
