Same, looking forward to it though

 

[Raven]

Have to say I have had my mind changed by much of the footage now, however as with any release in future, I will wait 2 weeks after buying it due to all the clusterfucks of cross platform releases lately.

 

[throdgrain]

I'll let you know in a few hours

 

[Moriath]

I'll let you know in a few hours

Apparently vpning to aussie works too

 

[throdgrain]

Too complicated for me, I'm old

Icould do it but got the man u pool game before anyway.

 

[Raven]

Is it broken then?

 

[Moriath]

Is it broken then?

Is what broken. Not played it yet till 11pm tonight.

But watching on twitch its not broken. And the review sights giving it good

 

[Moriath]

Welp. Eleven oclock came the game opened up. Played the intro bits and got straight into an operations game. Played for an hour ish and got to level 2 and i killed ten peoples woot.

Always above 60fps at 1080p and it looks lovely.

 

[throdgrain]

Looks great and plays smoothly. Couldn't remember the fps command so can't tell you what I had, but seems great. Happy days!

 

[Moriath]

Played some solo campaign. Had fun being a pidgeon for a few mins very atmospheric.

Also couple of rush maps and a domination game nearly lvl four. No issues with lag and had fun .

 

[throdgrain]

Had the Nvidia FPS counter on. 90-100 fps smooth as you like, that's with an i5/9700GTX. Game looks great, can't wait for hardcore mode though.

It does get a tad annoying when people just fire through freindlies hehe

 

[Moriath]

@throdgrain add me to origins as friend moriath. We can die together some time

 

[leggy]

Add me too. I'm TheoCrow. I remember 1944 being much much easier to stay alive. I am getting pasted from all angles in this.

I also find the random enemy spawning next to me bollocks quite frustrating. On at least 3 occasions so far an enemy has materialised right in front of me only to shoot me with his much better weapon (i'm only lvl 5).

 

[leggy]

Saying all that the game is beautiful and the maps are really well constructed.

 

[throdgrain]

Will do folks!

No one on there called TheoCrow mate

I've added you as a friend... just accept

I thought the name was a bit obscure so I'm McLeggy

 

[Moriath]

Cant work out how to join the game your in tho. Any ideas?

Got to rank 6 now wondering what to spend my bonds on and where you find the weapons you get from crates once u opened them.

 

[throdgrain]

It's not very clear in fairness is it? I've been looking for ages.

 

[Moriath]

Aye gonna have to check out the interwebs

 

[leggy]

Those aren't weapons in the crates. They're lame skins for the weapons you probably haven't unlocked yet.

It appears you level up each class independently of your overall rank. Once you get a class to lvl3 (takes fucking ages by the looks) most of the weapons are unlocked and you are then free to spend the war bonds you don't have on said new weapons.

So far I don't like the levelling system but it's there for a reason. Although I'm a bit fed up of that default shitty gun for the assault class. Hence why domination maps are spammed full of medics and scouts.
