I did it 4 times in a match. 3 times to one guy. I'm surprised he didn't ragequit.

was probably me and one of my team members lol.

my team mate was stunned and hacked got him up, we both got stunned again, he got up ran off died returned to where I was we both got stunned again. this time I was killed and the killcam showed he was invisible in a dark corner the entire time lol.

Ubisoft games have never been great on the PS3.

So is the connection better on the PS3?

I don't think so.

I'm getting in the lobby alone most of the time. Played 1 match with no problems and got disconnected in the next one. Now I can't connect to the Ubi servers.

Keep the feedback going. I want to see Geoff have a heart attack by the end of the week!

Are the other classes going to matter in the final game?
Cause honestly right now the rifleman is so ridiculously overpowered. Also whats up with all the grenade spam?

Game is tons of fun to play but some things are completely out of whack im terms of balance.

There are ways to minimize the rifleman effectiveness - avoid the chest, because they've got the body armor. Go for the head. Piercing rounds are a later unlock that make a noticeable difference if you'd rather stand off with them.

Grenades are being evaluated and we're collecting stats on their use, along with every other class/weapon, down to the shot %, lifetime of each class, etc. Here's the Ghost's ACR vs. the Bodark's equivalent:

Really, though, I can't answer too much. @redstorm is the direct feed from the devs.

Servers still messed up? Sigh

 

[andymuza]

Servers still messed up? Sigh

Well they have only had four years to get the server right LOL

 

[eek5]

Yeah, I don't get it either. Also, right now it's capped at 6v6, yet you can bring 4 people into a party.

I don't get this either. It is annoying because yesterday in my matches the games got split where I was with just one other person and that got shitty really fast. It's capped at 12 players for retail too..

The vanilla AR's aren't too overpowered... but as soon as you have 2-3 attachments that reduce recoil, they immediately become laser rifles. Add in the fact the class has a thermonuclear frag and suddenly there is no reason to play other classes. Obviously, the AR's need a nerf. (this is the problem with unlocks, they always ruin balance!)

But the real problem right now is the frag. It's just too OP. Ridiculously so.

Take them out of the game.

Also... I'm incredibly worried about the late game unlocks. Look at the progression chart. Most of that stuff spells trouble imo.

This is another modern game that uses an unlock system to punish new players and reward veterans who shouldn't need advantage.

The first day of beta... no one had shit and the matches (apart from frags) were very fun. Game felt tactical. Most of my time with it today feels more twitch and the unlocks are rearing their ugly heads. I'm back on the fence with this one for now.

I agree with you. Man I was getting picked off by ARs across the map; I thought I was getting sniped at first! The frags are RIDICULOUS. Is there a way to get more or something because I'd go to a point, get naded, respawn, go back to that spot and get naded again over and over.

The unlock system looks like it took a page from BF's book. I don't get why developers want to punish new/more casual players like this. The game should be about tactics and knowledge of maps first then unlocks second. Every class should have a default loadout with balanced equipment that people can use to get XP.

I'm having way too much fun. Rifleman is overpowered as hell, it's insane. I'm getting 20+ kills and dying less than 10 times on a regular basis, and I'm playing for the objective.

Any awesome GAFers got a spare 360 key? I would like to try this beta out.

If anyone has a spare 360 code it would be much appreciated!

Check PMs

 

[Heysoos]

Looking for a spare key so my friend can play with me. Thanks in advance. (360 key)

 

[impact]

Anyone got a PS3 key?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Also looking for a extra 360 key..forgot to get one for a friend.

 

[aemond]

For those still in need of beta keys, I'll giveaway some this week-end (@aemond on Twitter) - both PS3 and Xbox 360.

To submit feedback, please use http://www.ghostrecon.com/betafeedback / even if I track what is said here. Starting monday, we'll have a survey that will grant you a reward in the Ghost Recon Network (www.ghostrecon.com/network).

The /betafeedback URL is live in EMEA, if it's not live yet in the US, it should not take a lot of time.

Regs,
Antoine

 

[PedroLumpy]

Go for the head.

Brilliant.

Piercing rounds are a later unlock that make a noticeable difference if you'd rather stand off with them.

Consider that maybe those should be unlocked from the start then.

I put a RDS and a few control upgrades on my engineer weapon, now I'm beasting. It has almost no recoil, and it's super accurate. Combined with a UAV overlooking a heavily populated spot, and I get a shitton of points.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

No, no, I mean like line of sight. I can see a person across from me but I can't spot him.

That's probably to give a reason to play ENG. If everyone could feed positioning intel to the team, no one would be ENG.

[Domino Theory]

Launched my Conviction disc just now for the beta and I don't see any option for it and when I launch UPlay, it gives me a "UPlay server is down right now" message. :/

edit: Okay now I'm on UPlay and I don't see any option for the GRFS beta and I haven't received any email either.

edit 2: Wow I'm stupid. I just had to push X to go to the Marketplace to DL it, HA. But seriously, where's the email with my extra keys to give away?

 

[delta25]

if anyone has a spear code for the 360, Id be willing to trade a full copy of Halo reach (download)

 

[jkanownik]

Initial impressions were great for me. Felt different from BF3/MW3 in a good way. Positive vibes from GRAW memories back in the day.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

was probably me and one of my team members lol.

my team mate was stunned and hacked got him up, we both got stunned again, he got up ran off died returned to where I was we both got stunned again. this time I was killed and the killcam showed he was invisible in a dark corner the entire time lol.

Nah, I play ENG and I don't camp.

Not to shit on you, because I definitely appreciate you keeping us in the loop and keeping your ear close to how some of us are reacting to the game, but the bolded part above is...no really you think?

When is it NOT a good idea to aim for someones head in a shooter aside from what, Gears of War? It just proves the point that rifleman have it easier. Up against one? Better get a head shot. You are one? Lolsprayhimdown.

I've tried all the classes, and out of the gate, and the more you put into it, the rifleman is where it's at thanks to the ACR being such an effective weapon from all ranges. No kick, quick kills, silencer I tossed on, etc just makes me a steam roller.

I'm not saying Rifleman is super over powered by any means, but it is my most favored class at this point to play for lots of kills and objective nabs.

 

[Malo]

Can anyone spare a 360 key? It'd be much appreciated.

 

[Grady Durden]

Okay so I've loaded my copy of splinter cell conviction logged into U play and now I just sit back and wait for my beta key to be delivered via email?

Rifleman is effective right out of the gate sure, but that's because the other weapons don't have upgrades on them. Once you get a class to like level 4/5ish his weapon can actually match the ACR, while being able to do something unique as well. I won't disagree that the Rifleman's frags are crazy though.

The download just popup for me when I was browsing the SC:C "marketplace" or something (not UPlay).

Downloading now.

 

[Evolved1]

man... about four freezes and now I can't even get into matches. keeps locking up my PS3.

last hour has been rough. this beta is pretty sketchy.

 

[Grady Durden]

Okay so how do I get the three bonus keys that I can give to a few people?

 

[smarkel]

Hey gaffers. Anyone have a spare key. Love to try this bad boy out.

 

[smik]

Honestly all guns should be select-able through all factions, limiting weapon count to factions is annoying as you never will have full variety.
having only 2-3 Assault rifles to choose from in each faction doesnt cut it.

also did anyone try 1680x 1050 resolution yet? Visuals improved ten fold its the best way to go, alot more smoother.

plus the retarded choosing between upgrades. I wouldn't even mind the faction specific weapons too much.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who play a more deliberate style, but there are plenty of people who don't, and who have no idea that headshots are closer in effectiveness to Counter-Strike than Gears of War.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I dont know what Im doing. I was in a match and no one in my team had guns.

Is that play mode or glitch? no one seemed to be too bothered about it.

 

[UrbanRats]

Started a match, Ghost and Terrorist were all packed together, we were shooting each other but nobody was dying, so i quit.
Must've been a bug, it is a beta after all.

My shotgun is having absolutely no problem with them.

Also, UAV all day every day. Gimme dem points.

I'm left not even giving a damn about this game, anymore. I had the same type of issues, and I was finally able to get a few matches in, and wasn't liking any of the game. This isn't the GR I want to play.

Yep, but more and more people are learning to shoot them down. So I have to manual mine now most of the time unless I'm moving to cap.

I tazed/hacked 3 guys last game. They had to be so mad. Tazed and hacked, only to be ended with a shotgun blast at the end.

Thanks broski. I'm downloading as I type this. I played the hell out of GRAW 1. Didn't get a chance to play GRAW 2 though.

Fuck man, I can't deal with this shit anymore. Constant freezing, stuck at loading screens, unplayable lag, disconnecting of servers, ugh, this is awful.

Also full campaign 4 player co-op in the final game as well.
