Gridiron and myself will be playing this game a lot along with some of our wow friends. It's an extremely fast paced pvp oriented game with a ton of action. Right now it's in beta with the release set for feb 1st i believe. We're playing the beta and we all find it a lot of fun although the recons (rogues) are extremely OP right now. We have a small guild called DnkyPnch and we plan on joining an alliance and playing in the AVA (alliance vs alliance) zones which is pvp all day long :D

come join us!!!

Plausible

open beta??

I might be feelin it.

Nope, preorder only it looks like.

I played the beta pretty extensively. Its a very very fun game and I'm thinking about picking it up soon.

I'll pick it up & give it a shot.

I will be picking it up as well as soon as I get the money.

sweet!! yes its pre-order beta right now and their still adjusting stuff but overall this game is a lot of fun

I'll snag it tonight. anything i'll need to know to hook up with you guys in game?

Is this a real FPS rpg or one of those shitty "if you want to hit someone, spend skillpoints on accuracy and forget about actual skill" games?

I'll let you know Reb, as that's the make-or-break for me. The gameplay footage made it seem kinda like Tribes, which to me is very near the pinnacle of online FPS :)

you have to aim in this game, there's no way around it. Yes there's a little aim correction but for the most part if your not aiming at your target your not going to hit it. I've only played Recon and I have to say it's probably going to be the most fun to play for most people. you can either sit back and snipe or sneak up on enemies and slice them up or run around deploying mines and bombs. Engineers usually just set up their drones and turrets and sit back and fix them. The assault guys are big and tough with machine guns and rocket launchers and the medics run around healing the assault guys if they feel like healing. Healing is difficult in this game because their range is limited.

the coolest part of this game is not only are there pvp arenas but also a separate pvp for alliances to battle for control of territory which i would think is the best part of the game.

i swear to god i thought the exact same thing, especially with the jetpack

looks like a cross between Unreal Tournament 3 and Tribes :P

lolll, i just read it, i know 1337 ninja is playing it a lot, loll im so F*CKING sure he's playing recon all the time.... ugh... i wanna play it too! :D

Good news is, after 30 mins or so of playing the tank & rogue classes, it's not "select your enemy then auto-lock on and gear gear gear chooses who wins".

I'll not get to play too much before it goes live, but my in-game name is pacifist. can't tell yet if they have things separated out by servers or not

Yea there isnt really any auto-locking although it looks like the Assault guys have heat seeking missiles or something, i'm not sure becuz i havent played them yet.

Oh yea, there is only 1 name for ALL your characters so make sure you pick a name that you really want.

If anyone is playing the beta message me on steam friends, steam name Vision, or in game, MoTiV, and we can play together.

Don't forget that there is in game voice, a lot of the wow heads who are trying it out get freaked out when they here someone curse them out LOL!

I was surprised and happy to get pacifist. It was my in-game name from way back in quake 1 days.

I'll look your crew up. Still not sure how exactly to level/gear up, but then again i've only spent 30 mins in game.

Everything might get wiped when the game goes live on Feb 1st i believe. But i don't see a huge problem with names. All your characters will be named the same so there will be more to go around.

And yes, assault does have a heat seeking Rocket Launcher :) I think i prefer the Mini-gun so far because its knocks those annoying Recons the F*CK away from me.

Recon was fun though, i have good maps and bad maps, seems everyone is adjusting well to countering Recons already. Robotics are the worse imo, they got these god damn turrets and hide behind shit while they repair the turrets faster then you can destroy them.

And of course the most annoying shit is in the matches the people not shooting the medics, dur dur.

It almost reminds me of TF:2 with the medics, heavies, scouts, & engi's.

It's UNLIKE tribes in that you must switch to jetpack mode as if it were a weapon. No jetting up & shooting at the same time, unless I missed it.
