having the points way out in the open is still kinda derp, but at least that's some good news.

biodome is infantry only for example.
only the inside areas obviously(there are open adjacent facilities that house teleporters and control spawn rooms inside the dome* that can be capped

even then that didn't stop people from bombing the areas close to the pads before AA buff/rocket nerf patch, I think people still bomb deployed galaxies

precision, man

*which are shielded, I think that's really fucking retarded btw, is that going to be in the game forever? I haven't been watching/reading the developer stuff

Anybody still in need of a Beta Key? I got one spare (for a Bro that is, no newfag with 2 posts :p)

/e: Key has been sent to a GD tard who chose to remain anonymous, fearing repercussions by the true Bros who wanted and deserved to test out PS 2.
Just kidding :D but the Key is indeed gone and in the trustworthy hands of a fellow patriot. Sorry The Brazilian Slaughter

If anyone still lacks beta keys and somehow doesn't know how to get them they are still being sent out on twitter, with persistence you should be able to get one

looks like it's gonna be a little while until the official release and there's a risk of the beta actually being the peak of the game, which is usually not that buggy... I recommend it

It seems the new trend with F2P games, after the beta is over the P2W arrives in full force.

Euros in CDS has decided to play as Vanu on Thyone

I guess that's because their description sounds like they are monocle gentlemen

Got bored instantly. Tried again later in a squad. That was part of a platoon. That actually worked together. At first the dude talking constantly was annoying but I quickly found out that all the orders he did shout made sense and ran with it. Took over nearly half the map in a few hours of gameplay. Shit was cash and all that. Fun to find real teamwork in a shooter.

Was afraid the entire map would be small areas closed in by mountains but fortunately there are open plains as well. Game has lots of fun bugs to make your day. The one where your guns disappear is currently my fav.

And I'm playing as a teabagger rebel dude. Fuck commies and academics.

mechanics? there's a bunch of points in the map tied to a bunch of areas you have to take over

you stand on the points to start capping them(which starts a timer that goes faster depending on how many points and adjacent areas you have, while other factions have their own timer), though you can't cap some some bases without having adjacent bases or some shit

areas give you money and resources and are alternate places for spawning your shit

closest thing to winning is locking enemies in their warpgate (semi-impenetrable spawn area) for now

that's p. much it I think

It's Battlefield 3 on a relatively big map (supergiant compared to BF3 maps)

Gunplay is like BF3. Then you have all kinds of vehicles and airplanes. You get unlocks for XP (except you can select which ones). You form squads, you capture points. When you hold all of them the building starts to give you resources. Move onto the next area with resource building.

Basically capture points gameplay.

Has no health regen though and if you are getting killed and there's no spawn point nearby (squads need to deploy beacons or use an APC) so medics are crucial. As is teamwork.

Unfortunately there's not much of a latter.

From what I've heard if you're not going to pay the sub you might as well not bother at all.

While I do think the art direction on stuff like settlements, characters and vehicles is rather meh, the game sometimes shines when it comes to the enviroments. Racing along as a boardgunner through an alien blasted desert was cool.

Game is buggy as fuck tho. New fun ones is not being able to see your squad on the map and having the UI do funky stuff.
