If you are on the fence, I can suggest waiting a week. I guarantee, there will be alot of these floating around for cheap for sale on here or wherever you get used games. People dont pay attention to online only on the box, or they just wont like it. Ive seen a used one already

My retailer releases it tomorrow here in Sweden. They had better send it today so I'll get it in my mail tomorrow, or I'll have to buy it in town. No way am I waiting another day! Shouldn't there be some streams up soon? I always forget the name of that site where people usually stream footage of all types of games.

Clan name: Raven GAF
Clan tag: GAF

and so we are born, its currently very lonely over here, so people make sure to give me a message on the PSN when you have the game so i can add you to the clan.

wasnt sure what to have as the clan name Raven gaf or neo gaf, decided to go with raven gaf as that is what cagen's designs in the online forum say.

Suppression doesnt seem fun at the moment, its been an hour and not one single sabotage game.

Thanks for the stream naib. It looks like grenades will be a bitch. :(

I'd love to join the SVER clan Click, I'll get my copy tomorrow.

Yeah, I can only send out invites once people have logged onto the MAG server.
Otherwise, it doesn't recognize you as a player.

So as soon as people log onto MAG, give me a PM or post here.

So I got level 22 in under 5 hours.
4.0 K/D ratio so far.

The LMGs are still overpowered so I'm gonna take full advantage of these things until Zipper nerfs them.

There are still pop-ins but not much rubberbanding.

The skins for armor are now locked so you gotta level up really high to unlock them all.
I didn't even see the Face Wrap for SVER at all. Not sure what level you're supposed to get it at.

The pre-order skins are more than just cosmetic.
You actually get a medium-heavy armor set (Enhanced Ballistic Vest) that costs 800c.

OK, too tired. Gonna go to sleep for a few hours then wake up for class.
I'll try to add anyone to the SVER clan when I get up. Just PM me your exact PSN ID.

How are graphics, framerate and sound? Have they been noticeably improved?

So no word on the overall "Improvements"?
The number of maps we are going to have is still bugging me and is the only low point of the game I can see holding a lot of people back.
Releasing paid maps as DLC always splinters the user base.

I am hoping Zipper becomes more open with their post release support plans very soon.
I am sure they know how rabi... ahm overly enthusiastic their fans can become in no time.

Let me know as soon as you log on so I can invite.

I played last night...but just to level 4. Had to go to bed. :) So yeah, I'm in - sk3tchcom.

Anyone else have any problems with the Gamestop bonus? Mine didn't download (it accepted it, then just sat there - exited and re-entered, nada - and nothing in my game)...wondering if I need to go get another one.

I don't know whether to risk pre-ordering it and hope it arrives Thursday and doesn't get delayed until over the weekend or just to go out Friday morning and pick it up!

to those who are playing, what are the % of people using mics?
Click to expand...
If the beta/tourney was any indication, I'd say about 30-60% of the players. Which is actually a lot when you consider how many players there are. Sometimes you get a bunch of people talking non-stop and it can be distracting, sometimes you get players who are quiet and know when to speak up, some in-between. Generally a good balance.

I would agree except that used games that were just recently released are still like 55 bucks. I'd just as soon pay the extra five to get a sealed copy.
Click to expand...

but if you buy used from Gamestop you also have a week to try the game and if you don't like it you can just return it.

Hmm, I yea I posted the notes a page back, was more asking people who have played the release version.
Its actually 11 maps per faction,
The training map is just a walkthrough map
Leaves you with practically 10

The Suppression and Sabotage maps are reported as being very similar.
So that's 9 maps for all intents and purposes.

To answer my own question - you apparently don't download anything for the S.V.E.R. hazard kit...it shows up under services in account management. I checked my account just now (and accepted Cagen's friend request :)) - sure enough it's there. Although I did not see it in my load-out screen in-game last night...weird.

Had a great time with Bishop, Kowak, and Bagelmeister (sorry, forgot the full name :lol ) The retail game has really surprised me when compared to the beta, and I'm quite happy so far.

Go Raven!!!

Indecisiveness is a sign of weakness.

Choose Valor.
