Two of my keys went to 3CB members and one to another friend.

So far I would give the beta something like a 7/10 and within that, it would be on the lower end like a 7.3. The game has some nice aspects, but in a lot of other areas it is very mediocre. Especially the movement feels kind of weird and often a bit unresponsive. While I am not a the biggest fan of third person shooters with cover systems, I have no clue why you do not have a good cover system in this game. The lack of a proper one, makes "stealth" pretty hard and often will find yourself playing the controls and the camera and not so much the actual game. Vehicle controls are downright horrible. They are a bit better with a gamepad, but even then they are still bad. The AI is also not very smart and seems to suffer from a special case of blindness, if players are more than 20m away from them.

Graphics are okay and especially the view distance is quite amazing. Sounds are pretty bad and lack punch in all areas.

There is no war to end all wars.

I think to sum this up in one word after playing it : underwhelming.
Full game with a cheap cdkey in a sale with 70% off the sale price maybe, full price no chance.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.

Driving vehicles was weird as f**k. Maybe I've just played Arma exclusively for too long. It was like they had zero grip.

i'm looking at a go on the open beta this weekend - I am hoping its not like the Division when multiple headshots are required to drop the bad guys...

Well, played it, liked it quite a bit! Bringing it back to the modern day is vastly preferable to the cack handed sci-fi versions with robot drones and invisibility cloaks previously released.

The only things I could think of in the relatively limited playing time is that helicopter controls suck big style and that it is a shame you cant set waypoints etc to your AI team mates - a sniper on overwatch or an MG to cover your withdrawal would make the game much more immersive. You cant amend their loadouts either, or RoE (unless I missed that bit!)
