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

Wow you're right. 5 minutes and counting on starting the installer.

I signed up and got a key, but now when I click on the download link I was emailed it takes me to the "Enlist Now" screen to sign up all over again. How can I download it without having to sign up again?

is everyone signing up on fileplanet? I did it from the official website because fileplanet said I wasn't in the US or Canada. How come you guys are getting your keys so quickly? I haven't got one yet :( just a boring email.

edit, pants, looking on the official forum and it says the EU beta hasn't started yet, ffs why do the US always get in on stuff, when the UK & Europe yet bug*er all?

I thought that was it but when I click the download button it takes me to the Enlist Now screen. :(

I went through the "enlisting" again and it just gave me the same key so I'm now in line to download.

Seems like an interesting game but I personally can not use the artillery loadout (more specifically the massive gun) effectively. 3 attempts to use it, all 3 ended in my computer restarting (not freezing or bluescreening, instant off then back on) the second I right click to scope with it. I can fire it normally, I can play for hours without any problems, but the second I scope with the artillery gun my computer is rebooting. No idea what could possibly cause it, highest temp in my computer is my GPU memory which is at 70C, core is at 66C, CPU is at only 45C max. Doubt its a power issue, 650w PSU and using no more than 500 under full load (thats 100% CPU and 100% GPU, which the game doesnt run at). I can play everything but the artillery gun without a problem for hours on end but the second I try to scope with it its reboot time. :(

mwpeck, I suggest you post a bug report about that on the Section 8 forums someplace.

As for the game, it's MUCH better since the patch. Wow, amazing what a little patch can do huh? The weapons handle and feel way way better, the overall game is just smoother and a better experience.

this game just puts you straight into the action, no intro whatsoever.

I'm assuming that it must take some getting used to. but its alot of stuff on the HUD

Well I'm sure when the game hits retail there will be a tutorial of some sort, especially if it has a single-player component (will it?). But yeah, you get used to it.

If you have any questions, just ask :)

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.

      This looks like a nice enhancement.
    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
