Already have this preordered and got a few extra copies for LAN play (it was cheap :p). When I put the key in steam it said I already own it (as I have the full version) then started downloading. Wonder if the key from the site is still unused...should try the key out of my housemates account... :D

Is this game purely MP?

It's a quake3a type of game. You can probably just play against bots etc.
 
How do you actually get into a game? Am I just not waiting long enough? It will sit at the loading screen adding and dropping names and never start.
 
I've had this preordered on Steam, when I saw UT in Cryengine 3 I was all over it for $9.. thanks OP got beta key!

This is a common problem. The current beta is truly a beta...most people can't play through the normal quick play feature. However, you can use your arrow keys to go to private game, and invite friends. This works. If you don't have friends who have the game, you can join their IRC channel (check the beta forums, have to make an account to see them) and just ask someone to invite you to a game.

Hopefully they fix it soon, because it's a pain the ass to play at the moment.
 
I can't even join 1 game in quick match either... I sit in the lobby, the lobby fills up with people, then it gets full, and then instead of a game starting I just join a new lobby. Over and over and over.
 
Does it look...blurry for anyone else, like it's a small resolution thats upscaled?

It's still veeery very buggy right now. But you can rocket jump! (better than you can in UT)

The movement is kind of odd, you can proppel yourself faster forward just by bunny hopping and holding forward. The crosshairs need some work too. It's hard to form an opinion without other people playing, even though I got a perfect CTF victory :D
 
I turned off ALL motion blur related options. There's some in video options, and some in game options. The 4v4 may be remedied once there are actual dedicated servers, and is probably just a carryover from the console limitations.

The actual game is pretty fast and fun once it actually works.
 
Got one myself, thanks OP.

Will also be hosting a dedicated server for it when it releases
 
So I finally got a chance to try this out today. This is impressions from 1 game of team death match.

Game is fast. Movement is significantly faster than I remember Quake/UT to be. Although this kinda feels a bit weird relative to how high (well low) you can jump.

Not sure if it was the netcode, server, or my connection but it was laggy when I played. People were dieing after the shots, things were slow to pick up etc.

Weapons just didn't seem very satisfying compared to what I remember with UT. The weapon designs also do not seem all that interesting and they are not really all that visually distinctive from each other.

Also hits and kills did not seem as satisfying either. I think this is a combination of both visual and sound effects not having quite the same impact.

But overall the game is quite a change in terms of pacing/style compared to what I have been playing since those days (eg. Battlefield) which makes it quite fresh in this sense. I'll put it as a wait and see, especially seeing as it is rather buggy currently. Game is for sure an actual "beta" in terms of polish at the moment.
 
Played out a round, not sure how I feel about it. Maybe I am just not so great at games like this, but I didn't have much fun. It sure is pretty though. One thing I found lacking was the gore. Games like Q3A and UT are known for the over the top gore... this game had none.
