well now, i am late as hell on this. i honestly kind of didn't care about this game, so i don't really follow anything on it. i have call of duty, why do i need another multiplayer war-based game? well, here is why.................
256 FUCKING PLAYERS IN ONE GAME!!!! ZERO, READ IT ZERO LAG!
yes, i have been playing the beta for the last 3 hours. it's not incredible, but still man; having that many people in one game is insane. it was like the first time i played battlefield 1942, with 128 people or whatever you could have in one server. needless to say, shit is hectic.
starting out you have to choose a faction, i don't really know what the difference between the factions is other than weapons and what countries they're from. there is raven which kind of look navy seals or something, they're mostly from european countries like france, germany, etc. there is the SVER, they're basically terrorist shady looking guys. SVER's base out of like saudi arabia, india, and the like. finally there's the standard american looking army soldier, VALOR, they are the lease appealing faction.
alright, so now you have your character. you get 3 default loadouts. one has the default assault rifle, one is sniper, and one is heavy machine gun. the raven guns all kind of suck, but whatever. also included with each loadout is a pistol, and two gear items. you can choose from a first aid injector thing that heals you, frag grenades, smoke grenades, and a repair kit which is used to repair vehicles and shit.
cool, you have your loadouts setup; now it's time to play this crazy shit. you get two game types you can pick from at the start. training, which is self explanatory. it shows you have to move and shoot and stuff, and shows how to play the other game types. you also have sabotage. if you have never played an objective based online fps before; sabotage is basically one team defends some points, and the other team has to try and destroy them before time runs out. this game mode is 32v32, so it's not as chaotic as the 128v128 game modes are.
other game modes:
domination: 128v128. teams fight to secure and hold 8 different points.
acquisition: 64v64. teams fight to control different vehicles.
suppression: 32v32. i assume this team deathmatch.
directives: i honestly don't know what this is. the description is, "To achieve victory, all fronts must be contested. A true soldier joins the battle in which he's needed most." maybe it's king of the hill or something.
visually, there isn't much to brag about. i mean this is just an open beta, so who knows what the final product will look like; but, i don't need a call of duty: modern warfare 2 looking game when there 255 other players on the screen, and buildings, and vehicles, and shitttttttt.
well, my verdict is, if you have a ps3. get this game when it drops in March 2010.
