RO2 beta impressions

> impressions, what are yours ?

well besides all of the server browser lag and crashing it has a really good feel to it great potential for teamwork has working voip too, just have to get use to the game modes. But so far the game plays well weapons are good and the use of cover i like and im now a tank legend lol. There are a few little things need sort but no major things apart from server browser but still time to find problems.

- Server Browser is super slow for me. Every time it refreshes its like the game freezes then loads some servers then freezes again until it has all the servers.
- The Compass on higher resolutions is pretty small and makes it hard to see map icons and teammates.
- I might just be dumb but I am still trying to figure out the colored names and who is in my squad.
Overall it seems pretty good the VOIP works, it looks great, and the animations look amazing.

after 30 mins play

+ looks fine graphically
+ weapons feel great, feel realistic and authentic in hand
+ pace is of BF2 or a bit slower
+ damage feels fine and appropriate to the game, usually a one shot kill, but sometimes not
+ maps have multiple routes through buildings, so not a chokepoint meat grinder
+ can spawn on squad lead
+ teamwide voip works

- browser is slow, painfully slow
- game is crashy at loading map from browser
- no squad voip (disappointing disappointing disappointing, hopefully this is in release, deje vu, have I said those words before)

No squad voip is worrisome indeed. Nice write-up, keep them coming

Lets hope it is just a bug.

just tested voip with 1er and its teamwide voip and its loud in a harsh way, needs work from the devs

Right, on the same server we tested VOIP at Silver; I later discovered that it was SERVER-wide VOIP. This will have been set by the server host with a console command (Unreal Engine 3 uses RCON commands which I am familiar with).

Our experiment has been rendered void.

That is excellent news! I'm editing my .ini file's key config now!

EDIT: No I'm not, I'm awkwardly getting used to pressing P -_-'
