SWAT 4 Beta Impressions

Has anyone else here played the SWAT 4 Beta yet? Oh my God...I've made a couple rounds with it, and needless to say...It's terrible.

First of all, the game moves at a very rocky and unsteady 6 frames per second. I haven't actually clocked it, but it's choppy, and wicked slow.

Second of all, your character runs at about the speed of dog in a wheelchair. You move so slowly, that it's frustrating!

The graphics are pretty much garbage as well. Some of the environments are decent...But the character animation, and the gun models are just plain nasty. As a side note, their model of the M4-A1 isn't even close to accurate.

And seriously, all the times I've played, I've been a suspect, and I hardly ever see the SWAT team...When I do they kill me from so far away, that I can't even tell if they are a friend or foe.

To add to all this, the people playing in the beta are making the game almost impossible to play. In every game I've been in so far, my teammates were blasting me every second that I turned a corner.

In the beta, there's only one map, that's hard to navigate, and there's a limited selection of weapons, that's the same for both factions.

Oh yeah! I even forgot to mention that the game can be a lagfest, with pings for half of the servers reaching into the 400's and 500's. Awesome!

So has anyone else played the SWAT 4 Beta from Fileplanet yet? Am I missing something, or is this game really this bad? Post your thoughts...And if you want to attempt play, let me know.
 
It's a good thing nobody cares enough to respond... :lol

I'm going to play more, and then I'll report back if anything changes...But seriously, I want to speak with this game's developers...Because they need to make some major tweaks.
 
That sounds very disappointing! I was looking forward to the game quite a bit since I was hoping to have a good co-op game to play with friends. Do you know if they're even planning to have co-op in SWAT 4? SWAT 3 was pretty good from what I remember.
 
Have you played SWAT 3? Frankly, I think it was one of the better FPS titles of its time... hmm... maybe I should reinstall it now that I've got a swanky new video card.
