Yusuf M. Veteran Posted July 9, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 9, 2009 Got one no problem. Thanks for the heads up (Y)And I said nVidia because I didn't see your warning :laugh: My specs: Windows 7, Core 2 E6550 (2.33GHz), nVidia 9600GT You're welcome! I was under the assumption that NVIDIA video cards wouldn't work, haha. I guess it checks for something else. Luck, perhaps? :laugh: I signed up for the European beta and you don't have to input any hardware. Just put your name, email addy and country. Ah, I see. I checked it out and it looks like the European beta page doesn't link to FilePlanet. I guess it's different for Europeans. By the way, I should totally be asleep right now. :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591251022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted July 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well I just played a single match and it was pretty cool. Once I figured out what was going on and what I was supposed to be doing, it was a lot more fun. It's not AMAZING, but it's really fun. The dropship thing is a great concept, and I like the sprinting and jets (which are both kind of necessary on such large maps). The fact that you can purchase deployable objects and vehicles is probably my favorite part.

The fact that you can purchase deployable objects and vehicles is probably my favorite part. Agreed. It's a nice change from your regular run-of-the-mill FPS. What really caught my eye is the level of customization for your character's loadout. Also, being able to purchase deployable structures and vehicles was cool. So far, so good. I'll definitely play some more when I get the chance. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591251180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Book Guy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The game isn't that good, they are forcing you to only play PvP, you cannot setup a game by yourself using bots as teammates & enemy, there seems to be two options that are not choosable from the start screen, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591251186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylcard Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Great, Israel is once again not in Europe, Turkey seemed to somehow squeezed in, though. I just chose Spain, don't know if they check it by IP or not..

Full functionality is reserved for the full game. That doesn't mean the game isn't good.

Err and Since when Israel is Europe ? Turkey due to their "request" to join Europe might be considered , dont forget that Turkey acts like a Tampon Toward Europe and the "Islamic Countries" ( thats not the correct term but cant recall it right now ) Got in with Amd 9950 , 4gb , gtx260 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591251404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when it comes down to it most fps games these days are made with pvp or multiplayer in mind. And to be fair just looking at the pictures on the site you can tell it's supposed to be a competitive pvp centered game.

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 9, 2009 When you load the game, and go to the start screen, do you see those two unselectable options? That's because it's a multiplayer beta. The whole point of a multiplayer beta is to only test the multiplayer components. You can't sign up for a multiplayer beta and expect anything more than that :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591253040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your sake, I'm going to assume you've never played an MP beta. The two options are grayed out because they aren't testing the SP part of the game. They're testing the MP part for stability, usability, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591254028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacon Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Fileplanet won't let me sign up. I click "Enlist" and nothing happens :( Does that with every game I try to sign up on.

By chance is it only for subscribers? Clear your browser cache and sign into your account before clicking on "Enlist". Perhaps that'll help. To answer your question: the beta is open to anyone with a FilePlanet account (subscriber or otherwise).

Spartan Erik Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Played this and I'm quite impressed. Reminds me of SW Battlefront II.. lock on feature is interesting.. kind of rigged. It seems to be a more relaxed FPS, but the ability to purchase and build turrets etc., makes things different. Armor is reminiscent of Halo 3 as well Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/794660-pc-section-8-beta/page/2/#findComment-591255522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
