New Zealand can eat me posted:drat this looks loving sick, do they push steam notifications or anything when the tests start? If not, what is the best way to be notified other than checking this thread https://discord.gg/NcdN9SKRgr this is the main discord server, lots of general info and large playtest announcements. https://discord.gg/UmdDfPu8BU this is the tester group server, where the smaller unannounced tests are generally pinged. It also has instructions on how to get on the beta branch (which the unannounced tests use)

that was pretty fun, tho i only got to play for an hour. Gunplay still feels solid and it looks like theres a lot of levels, with each having a day/night version. I only played on the 127v127 mode, and it did feel like the maps were a bit cramped around the objectives. Very difficult to hit a flank and have it mean something, but that could also be my lack of knowledge about the maps and the fact i was lone wolfing it Overall though, Im really impressed. Everything felt smooth, both from a stability and gameplay standpoint. I cant wait to see more and play this game again

Can someone run a use case for the default support class gun by me? The LMG proper is understandable enough, but the other one just seems like a less good AR.

Been loving this game because it plays like a mix of Battlefield and Squad and the gunplay is great. Is there a goon discord for this yet? Seems like a good avenue for LLJK bullshittery.

Not afaik. I’d love to get a group going but god know I don’t have time to participate. It’s a shame as the game is an absolute blast with a bit of teamwork.

Alright, I went and did a thing. Waffle Haus lives again, I have no idea if we'll be able to have our own server but this is a start: https://discord.gg/UsJRTZVp I will definitely be on this Sat to gently caress around with the helicopters.

I was debating hosting a BB server but the specs they were asking for were pretty severe. Also the devs apparently have never used Linux so you have to run it on windows. So lol, no. It may have improved since, I haven’t had a chance to check up.

I'm down for trying to make it work, I miss the BF2/KFS days Maybe we won't get a huge community but BF2042 is getting abandoned soon and we can set up for whatever comes next

Just grind it for the 50 kills it takes to unlock stubby grip and you'll see why. It's probably the best gun in the game right now.

I think I got enough for that but I’ll have to double check. I’m still sticking with support when I have time to play but I’m starting to think that I’d be better off hauling an AR around if I don’t have a team to distract/draw fire long enough to get established with the LMG. So maybe it’s time to swing back around to the default.

I figured I'd bump this since it's getting close to EA and they do 3-4 regular playtests a week. Generally the schedule is like this Tuesday 9:30pm - 12:30am EST Wednesday 2:30pm - 5:30pm EST Saturday 8:30am - 2:30pm EST The game is coming along well and really they should be in EA already. Soon hopefully!

This game is good and probably the most fun I've had in a large scale FPS game since Battlefield 4. The graphics aren't great but everything else is pretty solid.

I put in a couple hours last night. Pretty fun, feels more like battlefield than 2042 does in some ways. The 248 player matches are very chaotic but not complete meat grinders because the maps are roomy. Gunplay is pretty good. Once you get past the graphics it’s a solid game. I do wish the ttk was a bit longer, there was a persistent minimap on the hud, and enemies were easier to see at distance. Getting more varied weapon sounds would be huge too

For the first time I’m having an absolute blast sniping. The 128x maps are great for this due to the sheer amounts of targets for you to shoot and targets that aren’t you for the enemy to shoot. Target acquisition is super easy too as you can just hang back a hair and watch for your dudes to start unloading on someone or vice versa. I still, for the life of me, can’t gel with how to play support. Combat engi is fun though, do not suffer a wall.

Queer Grenadier posted:Bold above is what is holding me back. Yeah there's no way around this, the graphics are what they are. It's a style choice, and they do it pretty well, but it is a bit goofy for a serious shooter to look unserious. It all depends on what's more important to you - for me, the style isn't offputting (though it isn't a plus), so I'll happily overlook it for the excellent gameplay.

M249 + stubby grip is probably the strongest gun in the game atm. Getting to that grip sucks no lie, but once you have it the gun is a death machine that doesn't need to reload.

I think the other half of that is for support to really be useful or farm out points a cooperating squad is needed as ammo isn’t really a going concern for the average player since death comes quickly and will readily solve consequences of liberally applying lead down range. Engi has a similar problem to a lesser degree as rockets are (quite reasonably) limited in terms of ammo but at worst you yeet 5 in the direction of an offending building and then play slightly worse Assault until you eat a bullet. I did manage to play in a few coordinated squads over the course of the play test and it was probably the best experience I’ve had with one of these types of games. However, due to real world obligations I just don’t have the time to get that arranged or even use a mic anymore. Game is an absolute blast though.

Lots of people reviving, joking around on voice comms. Also seems many servers are decently moderated; I’ve seen people banned for posting chud poo poo

For me, these style of games are about the teamwork and working together towards objectives. Squad does a really good job of this out of the gate, without needing to join a milsim group or clan. Is the game good about making people work together, chat and collaborate? That is more important than graphics for me.

Squad does a really good job of this out of the gate, without needing to join a milsim group or clan. It's encouraged by the mechanics, and easy facilitated by the voice chat, but I'd say Squad does more to say "hey work with your squad" immediately. Squad voice chat and a useful squad lead aren't something you get in every game, and it's pretty rare that leads will use leader chat. This could also be because the game is new and not everyone knows those features exist.
