First sorry if they already a thread I did try searching and nothing showed up?
Been playing the closed beta of this game and am in love with it. Its like H1Z1 only more Hardcore... Gun mechanics are solid with nice recoil to control. Animations for such early game are miles better than H1z1.

Even the Driving is much better its not perfect tho, some performance issue here and there, glitches etc

Loads people streaming on Twitch etc The Beta is running till 19th March but only on each Weekend. So in couple hours this build will be switched off till next weekend when a new Beta build is released to test.

Here is a little video of the Unreal Engine 4 soft body Physics

Founds a few reviews which I'm going to watch through but 90% sure I'm going to jump on this when it gets on Steam.

If it's pants (doesn't look it atm) I can always refund - looking forward to it.

To Be fair, Reviewing a game that isn't yet released should be taken very lightly. The game isn't perfect and does have issues but I can tell you 100% for a game in such early stage its got more going for it than anyother Battle game of this type, even Dayz can fall under this genre.

1. Decent amount vehicles, all have decent driving mec
2. Loads weapons all again feel different in there own right
3. Map is big enough with loads different areas
4. Player movement feels good, the player feels grounded I.E not floaty like H1Z1
5. Audio guns sound great, footsteps are loud enough

They having issues with servers atm and have promised longer time on Monday to make up for it.

PSA We expect the login & matchmaking issues fixed within an hour! We will keep servers online on Monday to make up for this downtime!
 
I had to drop down to 1080p to keep Frame rates up. Optimisation is coming soon they said on a stream other day. At the moment we just server testing.

Had a blast on this over the weekend so much so when game is released its replacing CSGO for me.

Can't wait to play :D here is the patch notes.

Players,

Today we look at the major changes we have made this week. Before we get to that, we are exctied to announce a new gamemode for this weekend's testing, SQUADS! In SQUADS, you will be able to team up in groups of 2, 3 or 4 players, or if you prefer, you can still play solo and take on everyone alone!

I was actually tempted last night to pre-order it direct from the site. I'm too lazy to wait until the 23rd as I need something new to play and 3/4 player Squads could be excellent.

Sadly they were sold out of all pre-order copies, something I have never heard of before. It's either very clever marketing hype "the game is that good we have run out" or they genuinely didn't expect it to become that popular this soon and under budgeted.

Either way my hand was forced, I'll have to wait until the 23rd :(

They stopped the pre-order because of high demand and putting way more player into the beta than they wanted. They also said the limited edition was selling so fast it wouldn't be limited edition anymore.

The main reason was over load, the closed beta isn't ready for high demand just yet and was the reason last weekend beta had issues for couple hours.

Ah that makes sense skankly - seems like a sensible decision from the devs, most big companies would smash out unlimited copies just to get the revenue in! I'll just have to watch a few more twitch steams and wait until Thursday.

Yep was just saying that other day with friends, remember warZ lol would they have stopped pre-order not a chance.
