The pistol doesn't seem to be the god weapon like it was in the beta. : (
That's a good thing. Is the standard rifle stronger, weaker, or the same?

Also, is it easier to kill enemies with Warhawks and is there some auto-aim applied to the sniper rifle? That's really all I want to know.

I might just have to budge and get the downloadable version... I'm looking at eBay and I don't think I'll be able to get more than $10 for the headset in the retail bundle.


Of course, I should stop being a pansy and wear a headset along with my headphones for once. Decisions decisions...
 
Does the retail version install the whole game onto the hard drive??? The main reason I decided to get the retail version was to save HD space because mine seems to be filling up rather quickly.

I run into the SAME problem. Can you funnel voice chat through the speakers? That's how I do it and wear my headset outside the headphones.

-The rifle is the same as the beta as far as I can tell.
-Killing ground enemies still blows with Warhawks, and it still seems to me like sometimes when I hit an enemy with multiple missiles they don't die yet somehow they hit me with like one or two of the same type I die instantly even with full health...It's beyond me and it was like that in the beta too.
-No auto-aim for the sniper rifle you aim that shit like a man.

Wow this game is amazing. Just got done with 32 play TDM match in the level with the clouds and the tall spires. It's so incredibly intense, zipping through the wreckage of another player while furiously trying to shake the missile lock. Super sweet.

I definitely need the headset, though. I wish headsets had been included as standard, so everyone would have them, but a bluetooth headset won't set me too far back. Anyone have any models I should get/stay away from?

The Jabra BT125, that comes with the game is supposed to be good!

We really need some kind of topic for this, I swear :lol


Anyway

Either you get the one that comes with the retail version, which works very well, or you just pick one from this list

Just scroll down a bit
 
I'm ok with the rifle, it feels a little more powerful. Some textures have improved, and those who make their living on turrets will be slightly disappointed.

Also, I noticed that it took a while to get my promotion, but the system seemed to have updated about 1 hour later. Not too shabby. Wish there were some weapon upgrades with rank, a la BF2

Sony dropped the ball here. They should have had the download game and the retail game out on the same day. The retail game should have shipped last week to be on store shelves today. Oh well at least the HEROES dvd set comes out today and I can go and buy it.


I wonder if the Bioshock incident at TRU will lead fewer companies to "risk" having their games in stores a week early.

It took me forever to figure out you can lock-on your standard missiles :lol When I learned that, I was on a role. I love this game, but cannot stand the on-foot portions. Give me a Warhawk/Tank or give me death!

I personally prefer ground combat....I suck in warhawks might as well be a flying coffin.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing in this game. Maybe I should have went for the boxed version with a manual.

The controls are all f'd up for some reason. I've only played 2 games and had a negative score both times, mostly due to my own suicides because i can't get the controls down.

Is there an online manual for this game or some kind of guide on how to set the controls so that its playable ?

Question for everyone that already has it: are there any differences gameplay-wise from the beta? What things were tweaked?
Well, you don't seem to be able to walk on water anymore in the Archipelago map :lol

I mentioned before that you can now jump at ladders and start climbing right from where you grab it.

There's now a voice chat icon next to your name in the top left corner of the screen. It lights up when you push L3 to talk.

Other than that, I think there's been some weapon balancing with the pistol and the rifle, but not sure.

I forgot about that L3 to talk stuff they did towards the end of the beta i was still thinking it was free talk and I was wondering why my teammates never responded.......I'm an idiot :lol

You have to prove it's in stock at BB. They would usually call BB to confirm.
Thats pretty dumb. If thats the case then what's stopping me from going to BB and getting it for $10 less because EB won't price match more then a $10 difference.

If they try to pull that stunt on me and BB has it in stock, I'll just say goodbye and go to BB to buy it.

Well I'm a little frustrated...

I can't figure the Radar shit out to save my life...

Sometimes you see enemy name tags, sometimes you don't...

Sometimes you see enemies on radar, sometimes you don't...

It's not the knife. I just got killed by a guy with the rifle. He wasn't on the radar nor was his name tag appearing...

WTF?

It was like that in the beta too. It sucks when something as big as a tank is driving somewhere and it disappears off the radar then suddenly you die and it's right behind you.

I'm pretty sure it's noise based. If you just sneak around without firing shots, you usually can't be detected by the radar. If you run around shooting like a madman, everyone can see you.

Good news: I have the boxed copy at home. :)
Bad news: I can't play it until I get home from work :(

Why does the game freeze all the time after I complete a game and see the stats screen? My buttons aren't working anymore and nothing happens.

Btw, game is GREAT! Been playing the review version quite some days now.

Sorry but no...

Like I said in my post I just got killed by a guy jumping up and down, throwing grenades, and blazing away with the assual rifle.

He wasn't on my radar nor was his name tag dispalyed.

That IS one factor in how the radar works. Also, unlike the beta version, when you respawn you have a few seconds to be "under the radar" - so you can nab a weapon fast enough and take someone down before showing up.

I am sorry Jim if that's suppose to be the way it works but it don't work that way imo.

I guess we'll have to start a private match so we can learn exactly how this "magic" radar works.

I'd be happy to host a training session this evening for anyone that's interested. Though you can do this yourself to some extent by creating your own game and password protecting it, so you can just tool around, try out weapons and vehicles, get a feel for movement and targeting controls, etc.

Says he spoke to someone at Best Buy Canada and that the shipments might not go out until Friday. I've seen shipments go out with an OoS before though so I'm just going to wait and see. If it doesn't go out by midnight I might just pick up the online one.
I already canceled my online order from them, to hell with that. I start college next week so I don't have much time to play the game, and I'm not waiting till Thursday or Friday (or even Monday+) when I won't be here.

I'll check my EB and Walmart again in a bit.
