I finally had a chance to try the beta last night and I have to agree with dude. I enjoyed it. It's not BF3 or MW3 and that's OK with me. Franlkly I don't want them to be like previous games. It's nice to have a variety IMO. I thought the outline thing would bother me more than it did but I actually liked it because it was basically highlighting my squadmate, which came in handy. If not, I would never be able to find them. I find this beta to be wayyyyy better than GR.

I didn't find the graphics as bad as some of you. I also didn't see anything groundbreaking either.

I thought the controls were pretty smooth and I really like the gametype (hotspot, i think).

At first I wasn't even going to try it based on the reviews here but now I'm glad I gave it shot because I'm pretty sure I will still buy it on launch day. My only regret is that many of you won't. I'll have to resort to playing with the kiddies I guess.

SLash add me on XBL

Ill get it , but maybe not on launch day, Im 15% done with borderlands 2 and ona whim I picked up dishonored, gah, its awesome

Will do dude!! I'm playing a lot of Borderlands 2 as well so maybe we can hook up for that too!!

Slash, I will be playing it too,, and you are more then welcome to join me and my Group of mature gamers and x military.
This will be the first game on the Xbox 360 with Actually Clan Match Support so that is a Prime Draw for me.
The Demo Game Mode is really Fun with a group of friends, and Very Tactical.
This is another game where there are Lots of Counters for each classes Perks..

A Couple Examples:
Spec ops= Fast, can for 1 shot see where enemy's are in a close radius,, Even through walls.

Demo= Is Slow and Even Slower then Peanut Butter with armor on,, Very Tactical build for defense and Arming objectives, moving into objectives, He is the Ultimate Counter against the Run and Gunner build of the Spec ops

Ect , Ect,

The LMGs are Horrible Unless the Pod is Down, Then they are the Beasts they should be.

All and All, I have been enjoying the Demo/Beta.. Its way better then the Alpha Build.
There is a Confirmed hard Core mode, which will Do away with the red outlines on people,, I will For Sure Be playing it More then anything else.

Combat Mission Mode has Also been Confirmed and I Cant wait to Play Clan Matches on that Mode.

Frankly there isn't Much on the Fall Purchase list that I Care about,,So This will be one I will be playing Clan matches on.

i read this on a forum about the beta too

"Beta graphics and micro destruction were decreased to fit the 2gb Xbox live restriction."

I believe it. The MP gameplay trailers all looked a LOT better than the beta demo did.

I still may not buy it. I have Dishonored, CoD:BO2 (tentative) and Far Cry 3 on my "wish list" at the moment but I'll keep an open mind depending on official reviews and word-of-mouth from trusted SimHQ-ers.

Also, I'm a little short on gaming funds. I just spent all my spare cash on a new 27" LG LED monitor for my PC (along with the PC version of Skyrim). Skyrim looks awesome. I'm spoiled now. I can't go back to playing it on the Xbox.

More time with it, it's starting to grow on me... would of been nice to have more then 1 map for the beta...

What they got to stop doing is advertising this as "the most authentic military shooter ever made", because it is FAR from that, lol... these game companies shoot themselves in the foot by making ridiculous claims about their games.

I saw an interview with the developer. By "authentic" they mean the types of missions you'll encounter in the game are like "real" missions. But, in no way is it supposed to mean "realistic", especially with regards to the gameplay in MP.
