Cant wait for midnight tonight!

WHICH MIDNIGHT

 

[Izayoi]

WHICH MIDNIGHT

PST, probably.

 

[Anton Sugar]

My brain just made the connection that if we get our keys at "midnight", we'll be able to play. For some reason, I thought I'd still have to wait till 8 AM EST.

omg

 

[Arcipello]

Nevermind, that montage sucked.

Good stuff! Stealth edit! And yeah I'm not a fan of that guys tactics

 

[Menelaus]

Need a dramatically scored montage of the beta with nothing but team play; slow motion ammo drops, revives, and m-com arming.

 

[fin]

Cant wait for midnight tonight!

Me either! I'm going enter the fuck out of my code!

Seriously though, sucks DICE couldn't get this out on the weekend. I'm going to be busy at work all week. Hopefully have time to be F5ing GAF to see some impressions.

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

Can't wait til 5:00am EST tomorrow morning!

 

[nitric0]

What's going on at midnight?

 

[Anton Sugar]

Well, the link in the OP actually says:

Sometime between Midnight tonight(most likely PST timezone) to the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Dammit!

 

[Izayoi]

Well, the link in the OP actually says:

Dammit!

Translation:

"As late as possible on Tuesday. Probably 11:59PM."

 

[G_Berry]

It's released at like 10pm tonight here in Australia.


Gonna be VERY tired at work tomorrow lol.

 

[FINALBOSS]

I imagine there will be a site where you input the MoH key, and you will receive an email with your beta key.

Hotness.

I completely forgot to activate my MoH key when I bought it on launch. Just did it now...hopefully I'm not excluded till Thurs

 

[spicy cho]

So if I've got tier 1 moh linked to my origin account I'll get my key via email?

 

[Anton Sugar]

This should help pass the time: Gamespot tournament livestream. Not live yet.

Taking bets on no actual gameplay footage shown! Any takers?

 

[mr_nothin]

12v12?
Hopefully this isnt console gameplay :/

EDIT:
Console gameplay confirmed

 

[Anton Sugar]

PS3 MP footage--first time, right? Actually looks pretty damned good...

 

[RoboPlato]

This should help pass the time: Gamespot tournament livestream. Not live yet.

When does it start?

EDIT: Should have clicked. PS3 footage, whoo!

 

[fifasnipe2224]

24 players on the PS3 - _ -
was hoping for PC play

 

[Proxy]

They're flashing 360 multiplayer keys on the screen?

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm glad they're explaining what spotting is.

 

[mr_nothin]

SL only spawning back in for retail? We can only hope.

 

[RoboPlato]

SL only spawning back in for retail?

That's what I was thinking too, judging by what he was saying about the squad leader it certainly sounded like it. Also, is the LAV gone now?

 

[Anton Sugar]

They're flashing 360 multiplayer keys on the screen?

What?

O'Leary just confirmed no vehicles in Op Metro? :-|

EDIT: Holy shit, totally flashing 360 MP keys on screen.

 

[Mazdarati]

They're flashing 360 multiplayer keys on the screen?

yeah, just saw one too. on the screen for like 3 seconds

edit: ass is cool!

 

[RoboPlato]

Here we GOOOO!

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

When does it start?

EDIT: Should have clicked. PS3 footage, whoo!

God damn it, why must I be at work!! How does the ps3 footage look? In comparison to other FPS on console?

 

[Emily Chu]

2 for headshot sounds crazy to me, I think you should reqarded for taking the risk of aiming for a smaller target. I think a little more power than in BC2 sounds about right.

So we get our key via email ~12a somewhere, then can dl at 8a EST?

1-3 bullets Body 3 being absolute max

headshot 1 bullet

anything else is BS

 

[Anton Sugar]

Wow...PS3 MP looks great.

 

[mr_nothin]

Are they freakin confirming SL only spawning?
I wont get my hopes up!

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

Wow...PS3 MP looks great.

UUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I hate my job!

 

[DR3AM]

how do i get a key again?

 

[RoboPlato]

God damn it, why must I be at work!! How does the ps3 footage look? In comparison to other FPS on console?

It looks really nice. Framerate is really smooth. Definitely one of the better looking multiplatform games I've seen. Some tearing, though but not too bad. Less than BC2.

 

[rdrr gnr]

HUD needs toggle options. Ugly and intrusive.

 

[Pennybags]

Thanks to this helpful stream, I now know that blue players are teammates and that you can pick up peoples' kits!

Looks good, and especially makes me optimistic for performance on my PC.

 

[Izayoi]

Seems like the people playing it right now are Gamestop employees.

Here's a screenshot for proof, friend at college just did it.

 

[fifasnipe2224]

can easily tell this is PC. Graphics and the aiming. ugh whos idea was it to host this NON PC?

 

[G_Berry]

Damage model seems ok still, phew!

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

worked out to my advantage i go to work at 9pm get off at 5am then i get to go home and get my key and dl the beta well played dice well played

 

[OdysseusVA]

SOMEONE GIVE ME A 360 KEY!!!!!
I have Halo: Reach Games on Demand code to trade

Also, link to stream?

 

[Izayoi]

They were flashing keys? Fucking ancient college computers with no flash. Someone help. ;_;

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Any other gaffers gonna use a gamepad for the pc version to see how they compare against classic controls? (be kind, I'm fragile!)

 

[mr_nothin]

They start showing medic signs on ppl when you get low on health...nice touch

 

[RoboPlato]

Some of these guys obviously aren't used to the DS3.

 

[mr_nothin]

OMG THEY ARE FLASHING KEYS!!

 

[woober]

OMG THEY ARE FLASHING KEYS!!

How dirty of them.

 

[OdysseusVA]
