Not right now you can't. The other day we accidentally added a seventh man to the party and couldn't do anything. The game tells you the max party size for each game type.BuG said:

Re-downloading the beta now requires the token key to be re-entered rather than there being an automatic permission attached to the account.

Token keys are linked to your Gamertag. If you lose it and contact IW you'll receive the same key you were issued in the first place.
You can give the key to whoever but their Gamertag won't be stored in the database and they'd face being banned from the current beta as well as being blacklisted from future betas by Microsoft.
To be frank, the team are more concerned with server stability and rolling the beta out for other territories, but while dealing with imposter's isn't a major priority, it doesn't mean they're not looking at it.
You have friends that want the beta but have no keys eh?

Are you stuck on "Downloading Game Settings"?
If so, it's a known bug.

Best thing to do is to just let is sit there for a few minutes. Sometimes it can take as long as 30 minutes to connect.
That retarded bug better not show up even ONCE in the final game.

We need a party of camper-murdering specialists.
Quite a few people we played with that just busted out the marshmallows and hot dogs around the fire.
Lots of people like to Snipe on Overgrown, but the hiding spots are pretty limited, and I know every single one. I have a custom set up, which consists of silenced MP5, UAV Jammer, and Extreme Conditioning for some camper hunting.
I love love love the Knife.

If you're doing full auto, your aim is going to suck regardless. However, your stability does improve while crouched and even further while prone (as it should be). Just use burst fire, and equip stability if you have the perk.Sean said:

A few days ago some italian forums posted links for the beta.
It was not the usual url so I really don't know.
All i know is that you had to answer to 2 easy questions in order to get the email that was confirming that you were in. And so I did.
I head it was for 1300 guys.

Air Strikes and Helicopter Raids are ruining this Beta for me. It is sorta fun when you are on the side that is dishing them out, but man this Beta grates on you when you are not. Getting pinned down by a helicopter and then shot up like Butch and Sundance by the Peruvian Army with a squad of deep penetrators feels like what I fear unwanted deep penetration feels like. The achievement for 100 kills using an Air Strike or Helicopter Raid should be something like, "Loving Ned Beatty".
They're both easy enough to deal with. So the only way you should get killed by either is if you weren't paying attention. Or if you had a shitty spawn.DenogginizerOS said:
The presence of both are announced to you way before they even do anything. The plane's paths are easily sighted on the radar, so you can see them coming a mile away. You wont be able to predict exactly where the bombs will drop, but just move out of the path or head inside a building/under over and you're fine. Though sometimes the latter doesn't quite work if the cover isn't secure.
As for the Chopper, you can shoot them down with normal gunfire (but I wouldn't recommend it because I usually call my chopper and follow it around killing people paying attention to it and not to me :lol). Preferrably, you'd select the rocket perk and shoot it down with the RL.
If not, you can still see it on the radar so you know where it is at all times. It can only shoot you if you're in the frontal arc of the chopper. So any other time you're safe. Though it can shoot through walls, it won't unless you just ran behind the cover and it was already firing at you in the first place. If you stay out of the LOS while it's hunting you, it'll leave you alone and go kill someone else.
Honestly, you're not at too much of an dis-advantage when just starting out, save for the lack of scope choice. IMO, the M16 is the most versatile weapon out there. True it lacks the spray power of the M4, but I cannot tell you how many times I'll catch a glimpse of an enemy sprinting in the distance; I'll take a quick pop shot, strike them in the calf... and down they go. Not to mention the extended range with a red dot scope really makes the M16 a sniper killer. With the M4, I tend to have to strike multiple body shots to put the target down. Then again, maybe It's just me.

I definitely agree. It's really easy to use the weapons so it's easy for newcomers to just pick up the game and play. Sure, they won't be the best players in the room when they start but they certainly aren't facing impossible odds. The game's balance is great.

Just got the beta invite a day or two ago, loving the game. Send me a friend or party invite sometime. "MWS The Natural"
not much of a disadvantage because the cap is just at 11. I could imagine it being pure moida with a cap of like 70.
I also find sniping to be much easier on Crash than overgrown. Too many akward situations and unclear shots. It's kinda funny. The best way to do things in this game is to do the opposite. Think overgrown is a sniper map and I get double the kills with a shotgun than with a sniper rifle rofl. Go on vacant...double the kills with a sniper rifle than a shotgun. It's messed up.

I'm starting to get bored with this already.
I know the full game will have a higher level cap and more perks, weapons, maps and shit, but the gameplay is just not very much fun anymore. It doesn't seem to have that, just one more match feeling, like Halo 3 had and I'm sick to death of the fucking back attacks and lucky kills.. a good wingman helps with that, but still, theres just too much fucking luck involved in getting killed or kills.
I'm back on the fence, and not sure if I will buy it or not.

So can you assemble a party for a FFA match?
Cornballer

Nope. Not sure if they'll allow you to in the full version, but I don't see why they wouldn't. Are they going to do the typical "ranked" and "custom/unranked" games? I would guess that they are. Presumably you'd only be able to gain experience and level up through playing ranked games, but I haven't heard anything about how the full release will be put together.PedroLumpy said:

Yeah I would certainly be fine with not earning experience in a partied FFA match due to the obvious exploiting possibilities, but I hope they have something similar to rumble pit/rumble training in Halo. Shame it isn't in the beta though.

Nothing I love more than killing a camping sniper, hiding in his spot (since they almost always try to get back to the same area) and shooting him in the face from long distance while he tries to make his way back. Then I just switch back to my original gun and go about my business. :lol

I saw your stats, this is one of your secrets?

Love this game and beta. I think the one thing I love most is this idea of leveling up and picking your own rewards, so satisfying. I do hope they raise the level cap a bit so we can try some of the higher level stuff.
I got to say I do hate playing pick up groups which is what I've been in mostly. Team play is where it's at.

My favorite is to sneak up on them or charge them, and stab them.
