Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Beta Thread of key begging

Game is amazing, really puts all of Zippers attempts at a current gen Socom to shame. The controls are awesome, but I feel melee on the same button as reload is shitty.

Oh lord. I was a HUGE SOCOM person back in the days of S1 and S2.

Hype is reaching critical levels. Don't do this to me, broski!
 
Only played two matchs yesterday. Loved it.
Will be buying this for sure. I hope they don't change the player health/damage. Seems very well balanced right now.
The only thing I would like to see them change(from the 2 games I played, keep in mind) is the huge DETECTED message. It cover to much of the screen and is to centred.
 
Played like 6 or 7 matches so far and I dislike that the rifleman is overpowered. A buddy and I were trying to run a scout and engineer combo but it just could not work. The rifle is great for long distance but for some odd reason when it came down to a mid range to close shot my bullets didn't register a hit until a few seconds after. I would then get killed because my bullets did not reach the other guy in time, preventing him from killing me (we both died at the same time)

The engineer was hard to work with because the range for the weapon was very limited. A damn rifleman can shoot a burst from far away and easily get a head shot. I switched to rifleman in my second match and got a quick 12 kill streak. You truly are unstoppable with that class if you are careful when you rush.
Pistol is also pathetic, I could not get a kill with that thing.

Game is solid though, we had fun. Aside from the lag it was really satisfying flanking the opposition and getting team work based kills. So good :)
 
Just got sent a 360 beta code, but I still have have my Splinter Cell disc so I'm already good to go. Quote to reveal it and please say when it's taken.
 
I can't believe such an unpolished game that has been in development for like forever is getting released next month.

The lag, hit detection, and poor performance are deal breakers. I can't understand why such a simple looking game runs like total shit.

Feels on the level of Crysis 2 MP in terms of polish. For some reason the PS3 version of the game ran much better for me last night. Framerate smoother, hit detection better, network felt more stable. 360 version a lot messier by comparison
 
I have 3 beta "friend" codes in an email from Ubi. I'm not going to be monitoring this thread too much but I'll give the codes to anyone who PMs me looking for one. First 3 PMs get them.
 
Got a few matches in. Impressions so far:

- Movement and cover feels GREAT. Although it takes a bit of getting used to. Base movement speed feels pretty fast. Some of the more complex maneuvers like diving into prone, the ultra fast cover to cover sprint, etc. make you think a bit more than shooters like Gears/COD. If you try to cover swap Gears style to avoid bullets you'll just end up getting killed.

- The scale on everything seems a bit larger and more close quarters so it's easier to shoot guys than it has been in past GR games. This game is much more about maneuvering quickly and flanking.

- Weapon customization is overwhelming in the best way possible. I could easily spend an hour tweaking my loadouts once I've unlocked a few. I haven't even gotten to try out the engineer class yet.

- Matches have been nice and lengthy so far.

Negatives

- It's frozen on me twice so far. (PS3)
- The blood splatter effect is kind of distracting, imo.
- Graphics aren't that great. (Beta?)

Overall. Not really sure how much I like the fact that it's undeniably easier than past GR games. So far I've had a lot of fun though.

Im on 360 and i have the same thoughts. Gameplay is spot on good. Graphically your character looks great but everything else is meh.
 
In the two games I've played I'm enjoying it but getting into cover seems very finicky.

It's idiot proof. The cover is like what Assassins Creed would be if it had cover. You highlight a piece of cover with your arrow, hold A and your character automatically runs to that spot AND gets into cover position. I actually love it, think it's really inuitive. What do you feel is finnicky about it?

I think the greatest thing about it... is you can disengage at any time by releasing A/X. It's very intuitive.

And if you also hold the stance button while you're sprinting, the character does a dive to prone that's really cool.

It's a neat system.

Last night I had about 5-6 consecutive matches with a bunch of people who must all suffer from some sort of learning disability. The game isn't quite as fun when your teammates are a group of unmotivated morons. We actually got spawn trapped at one point.

And having to try and get objectives alone doesn't work... my stats took a nosedive thanks to those guys. People don't play the objective. I guess they don't care if they lose?
 
Good morning fellow GAFfers, I'm back but only with a few codes remaining...!

Yesterday I gave around 50 Codes or so.

For the PS3 I have now some for UK/Euro accounts only Codes and I'm almost out of 360 Codes. Let me know if I can help any GAFfer.

Let me know when you're on I'll try to get a game in with you. Yes, if you are playing with a bad team that doesn't watch your six and coordinate at all you are not going to have much fun. It's a very team oriented game. The COD/lone wolf crowd will hate it.

also noticed that the game supports DTS on ps3. kinda neat.
 
played with two randoms with mics last night, was one of the best online experiences I've had recently. So bought.


But yeah, playing it with bad randoms without mics makes the game seem much worse than it is.
 
PS3 BUG

Just found out the hard way. If you spend a bunch of points on your weapon, and then leave the gunsmith screen, you'll be asked whether or not to save the changes.

I had second thoughts about running with an LMG... so I choose not to save.

Well... it removed all the mods, but I lost all my points as well. :(

So now I have no points to spend (which I'd been saving up) and my rifles are vanilla. I have to restart the character.

I fucking hate unlock systems.

Your bought mods are still unlocked, no?

I am dumb.
