Any one have a beta key that i could use? I have been trying to get one all day but i couldn't.

Should be open at 10PM PST. If you are regsitered ( not a subscriber ) you should be able to get one.

The flying thing while simple to fly seems to be completely useless offensively. The autolock feature on the missiles takes 10 min to lock on and you gotta look dead at your target which kind of defeats the purpose. The gunner doesnt have a jolly time either since the hyperblaster needs to get a direct hit to make a kill which is rather hard. They will prolly beef the flying thing eventually.

I really enjoy the infantry combat since it reminds me of the good old Quake 3 days where the guy who is more accurate and nimble wins the fight and not where the guy who jumps goes prone in mid air rinses and repeats wins the fights.

I don`t like it - map as big as a handkerchief, terrible sound, bad vehicle physics, no global unlocks - that`s just for start.

Stick with bf2 and 2142, I dont think anyone wants you in QW. How can you complain about it having no unlocks? Are you really that stupid? This isnt a game designed for retards, you have to practice and know what you are doing just like in Wolfenstein.

Yeah, yeah talk to me, everything is just perfect - team play like no other!!!! COOOOOL! Acourding to you anyone playing BF2 and 2142 is a retard - right? And playing BF2 or 242 needs no practice and we don't know what we are doing - is that right?

Every game has a learning curve.

The ET games just have a deceptive one. After an hour I thought I'd mastered Wolf:ET's combat system.......

Thanks to the depth of class based strategy it took me about 5mins to realise I was very, very wrong. Also was getting my ass whooped by Field Ops and their fucking arty. Ah well, it's like being sniped, but more spectacular.


Wish the server side issues were sorted, most people tell me that's where my lag issues come in and the server side programming needs an overhaul.

Let me tell you what I mastered. After several rounds of extreme tank whoring(because of the gun having a massive splash) as an engineer(because you gain extra points for repairing your empty damaged armour!). Near my all mighty armour I have constructed an AA tower for additional protection. In round 4 I have 3 engy stars - giving me GL and fast repair(and repair is really fast even without it). I also earned 3 stars in vehicle combat allowing extra vehicle weapon damage. I was awarded for staying alive 2 stars. From that moment I finished 3 times 1st with more than 200 points - just extensive tank camping. And all this without completing a single objective(in a game that is about objectives)?!?! It reminds me of a CS rounds: you play with pistol, saving for sniper. Some of the games we loose, so what, my performance was good! However  I think all this is neither fair nor right!


P.S.
What I don't like most about objective mode is the inability to mount a counterattack. When you loose an objective it is final. Of course this was and still is the way to play this type of games.

the guns are too much spray and pray, and the vehicle physics suck. I couldn't help but get BF2 flashbacks when my tank crushed me after I got out to repair it having managed to get twice as many points as the second best player on the server

new engine needed

The netcode at this stage is atrocious (well to me at least). Gameplay isn't exactly smooth even though there are just 24 players on the server, and I thought that having to lead targets when firing is a thing of the past? it's not hard to get to grips with, but it makes using weapons such as the sniper rifles a pain.

I have 85% accuracy with the GDF sniper rifle.  Sniping in this game is the easiest thing ever, even easier than BF2 sniping.

Try to snipe while I keep pounding you with my uber dark matter cannon.
