After taking a chance on Sandstorm Insurgency along with Post Scriptum I'm really worried about small team military games.
You are better off sticking to the guys with UBI and EA or even Activison.

Ha! I even told you in that thread that the Post Scrotum was going to be terrible, now it should be called Post Mortem.

they said it'll be a while but i'm fine with that as long as there's a good channel of communication between the players and developers. yeah, some of the rag doll effects are a bit wacked out but that's easy shit to fix. but i'm sure will make for some interesting screenshots/clips when it comes out, lol. i'll be waiting to see if any bodies end up hanging from the ceiling or off the top of buildings.

Personally I'd rather wait another 3 months and have it released in a more polished state. Playing very unfinished games isn't something I'm interested in. I understand betas, but if this is essentially a basic alpha I'd be a bit weary.

killing things while trying to PTFO looks satisfying and rewarding



too bad that they're having some issues right now :/

 
I hope they can get it released today, but its already 8pm in poland. makes me nervous when levelcap says hes getting 77 fps and I'm pretty sure he has titan x's in sli

Looks like there are multiple rocket types for the RPG-7. Something I always wanted in Battlefield. Also hoping they add a lot of Leopard 2 variations. There are a lot of upgrade kits for the Cold War era 2A4s. Poland and Finland are using a mix of more modern variants built from the ground up and the older tanks with armor upgrade kits. Would be fun to play around with the advantages / disadvantages of different variants. For example the Polish Leopard 2 PL has improved side armor but a weaker gun than the built from the ground up Leopard 2A6 used by Germany and Finland.

Poland does have an interesting mix of older Soviet, western & indigenous equipment to.

May may not be using sli. Been ages since I touched sli so not sure how much they opened it or locked it down with regard to custom profile/engine detection to enable sli.

Well how is it?

I didn't buy it yet. has anyone been able to play? was going to buy it till I checked their twitter and see they got server issues. people launch the game and it just sits at a connecting to servers screen. they tweeted that they released a hotfix but people said it didn't fix it. devs are in poland so I think they just said fuck it for tonight. maybe they will get it working soon if they are working on the weekend. its a shame because every bad review on steam is cause of the server problem. I dont think anyone was able to play. the people leaving good reviews were the ones with closed beta access. but that got shut down when the game officially released.

Gee i'm shock...SHOCKED...that LevelCap is whining about how long it takes to unlock weapons. Dude needs to stick to BF or CoD if he can't tolerate the lack of an endorphin rush every 5 minutes for meaningless achievements and rewards. Really makes you wonder if he ever actually played BF2.
 
Servers still down. Early access.. What can you do.
Kinda fun to watch people on the steam forums shit them selves of frustration/nerdrage though.

I didn't watch the video but I thought there were no unlocks?

devs posted an update an hour ago they are still working on it.

IIRC from the little I had time to play in the last technical alpha, you buy the unlocks with in game currency, but it takes a while to earn enough to do so. I want to say the rifles were 18k and you only received a couple hundred per match. It also means you need to skip unlocking accessories for your current rifles.

Personally I hate the purchase system in games so I didn't look to deep into it.

This is how the unlock system should work:

There are no unlocks.

Not trying to knock you, but you mention meaningless achievements and rewards. Then why lock weapons and accessories? That is the whole point of locking them away artificially, to give someone a false sense of achievement. If I pay for a game I should get the content. If I want to use an M4A1 with an Aimpoint I should be able to day 1. I shouldn't have to play with some garbage weapon I have no interest in using for 30-50 games. Add in that it appears you have to unlock every accessory for every weapon and it seems like a pain in the ass. If I can realistically unlock the majority of the weapons and their accessories in around 15 hours I can ignore it if the game is good. Anymore than that and it is obscene and outright stupid.
 
Game still not working...as in just an endless loading screen....Seems like they trying to figure it out asap
 
Told you this shit was janky lol... I wonder how many of the 6k people that actually bought this will stick with it.

Which is why I wished it didn't go into Early Access. EA for MP games = dead on arrival in many cases. Unless the game is a runaway success like PUBG. I don't mind betas, but it seems like this should have waited another 3-4 months at least. I hope it gets improved because there is no other decent looking MP game on the horizon anytime soon.

How long we have to request refund? Might go this rout myself

Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any title that is requested within 14 days of purchase and has been played for less than 2 hours.
​
I wouldn't wait long.

ok well if its under 14 days were ok then....thanks for the link btw...I expected some bugs, but not even being able to start the game is a bit over the top. Ill give them a few days at least since people need rest to figure things out.....btw im seeing updates every day (so of course their working on it)

they put out a patch earlier today. some people have been able to connect and some haven't. so if you haven't tried yet might be worth trying to see if you can connect.

same, i have no plans on giving up on it yet, went into it knowing it was early access and shit like this could happen. after all this shit happens damn near every time EA releases a game and people pay 60-100 bucks for that garbage.

Might be the case but lets hope they can turn it around. If it does die, it signals the end of online shooters that aren't kiddie shit like PUGB/R6 Siege. I don't expect EA or DICE to ever put out a serious online shooter ever again. That ship has sailed from the big developers at least.

its working now......but man this thing looks like half life 1 graphics wise....or cs from begning of time lol....i better get refund befor its to late lol

hl1? your kidding right. the graphics look better than cod bo4, insurgency sandstorm, and pubg. I was playing on high, with post processing on med.

I put my first 2 hours in tonight. I think servers are working for NA. I got a CTD when someone sent me a msg on steam. and the announcer's voice got bugged so I couldn't hear what flags were getting taken. also, proning over terrain is buggy. but for the most part it was playable and fun.

the spawn interface is well done, like better than recent bf games. and looks really professional. the recoil is high, you better make sure your first shots count. cause once you start firing you cant really control it. the leaning feels real good. like r6 siege but not as much lean amount. the movement feels a little janky and so does ads animation. but I got use to it. its not as casual of a game as battlefield, you have to check where you want to go. depending what gadget you have you can give ammo to people, or heal people, and it works pretty well. there are several other gadgets but I dont know what they are. I would say the game is pretty interesting and unique and a mix of many games. devs have alot of work to do. I'm looking forward to playing more tomorrow, so thats a good sign. fps was all over the place. 50-100 at 1440p, all high with post processing on med. specs in sig.

nice good to hear it's working, time to spend my night playing before my work week starts.

played my first match, games fun as hell even with all the instant gratification BF4/COD cry babies bitching in all chat the entire game.. also surprisingly the game still runs smooth as hell under 60fps, default set everything to ultra on my first match and i had zero issues playing it. had no clue what my frame rate was during it though.

nice, pretty sure theres a built in netstats and fps meter you can turn on in the settings. the games I played almost no one was using chat except for me. I asked a guy for ammo and he turn around and dropped some, lol. this game needs voip bad. one thing I noticed that levelcap said is the audio is lacking. the direction and distance need work. and maybe add some effects.

yeah i found it after the match.. outside i get 50-60fps mostly medium/high inside i get 80-90fps.. yeah the audio isn't 3d directional but quite frankly i like it that way makes it way harder to play trying to figure out if the steps are next to you or above you when your in the building, forces you to slow down and check around corners. games might be a little bit too long but that's ok with me. 100% agree on the voip but i'd rather have the network stability ironed out before they add that on top of it.
 
Got it last night. Played most of a round before I just got too tired. The game is a lot like BF3 without the suppression? Feels like it. I am not thrilled with 50 fps outside but it's early and the game plays well enough. For $28? Recommended.

depending on your computer setup some one found some odd settings that fix a lot of the frame rate issues.. if you turn textures down to either medium or low frame rate increases but the actual texture quality of the game doesn't really go down.. i changed mine from high to low went from 50 outside to 65 outside and 90 inside and the game pretty much looks the same. i set everything else to ultra except view distance and shadows at medium.. using a 1050ti @ 1080p. try messing around with the quality settings til you find something you like, you can even do it out of a match with the in game frame rate meter and it's usually within 1-2fps that you'll see in game while outside(at least it was for me).
