1st Opinion on ze Delux Beta

[Pretoryan]

Oookay , I`m not sure if this is where I should post all this , if its not , I apologize and you can move the thread... Now...

1st thing , I bloody love the Weapon Handling / Zoom / Recoil in this game... It really gives me that feeling , of my bullets having some power inside them , when compared to holding down mouse click on my P90 in some other games...

2nd , I love the Urbanisity ( nah , it aint a real word ) , of the maps. You can really outsmart your enemy , and pick one of 5 - 6 routes to the objective , instead of having 1 tight corridor where you know that everybody is going to wait for you there :P

Okay now , these are some glitches that I have experienced in the few hours I played so far.

TECH Stuff.

- 2 times it happened , that my in-game Audio just died. I alt tabbed , and windows sound was working fine , but ingame was just dead. I restarted the game , and everything was fine when I reconnected. I tried waiting for the next round , for it to fix itself , but nothing happened.

- 4 - 5 times , when I tried changing my class , between attack / defend rounds in Countdown mode , I was left to free spectate the whole round , with my UI dissapearing... I tried to see the score , or Options or chat to my comrades , basically molesting the [Esc] and [TAB] buttons , but nothing happened. It was working fine when I re-started the game.

- Another technical bug , tho this could be my PC talking , is when I first started HoS , and went to browse servers , the server count just went crazy , froze my screen , and reported that ,,HoS has Stopped working``. Only seen in that 1 time , so I`m really guessing that one goes for my PC.

IN-GAME

- In the apartments map , when you get on the 3rd floor of one of buildings that overlook the small bridges , if you try to open your MG Bi-pod on the window with bars over it , it will open and deploy , but end up in severely shaking your screen.

Well , that is all I got so far... These are all some minor bugs and glitches , that really didnt effect my gameplay in any special way... I -LOVE- this game , and I really look forward to playin` some more I only got a few questions , and I`d love if some of the older beta testers , or game Dev`s could adress them.

1st - Can you pick your role for the next time you spawn ? I tried doing that in the countdown mode , and it resulted in auto-suicide.

2nd - Is there progress in the beta ? Since I went to instant match , played a few games , got a few achievements , and my honor level went up , but than I went to my profile stats later , and everything is on 0.
Afterwards I went to server browser , played quite a bit on a Ranked server , got some kills and points there , and when I have returned to my profile stats later , everything was on 0 again.

Time played on 5d , 5h , 5m , kills 0 , K/D ratio 0 , etc etc.. I`m not asking for the progress to be moved in the alfa , just mean , Can I experience the higher lvls and higher lvl weapons in the beta ?

well i have been playing for the last few hours and been loving it, its fantastic. I need the option to hold down the RMB for iron sight aiming, its natural for me then the click in and click out.

Other than that, i am getting used to the controls, the gun play is awesome. hardly anyone knows how to melee so there are some tense standoffs between bolt action rifle players who dont know if they had a pistol. Guns feel great to play with as well. Be playing more later on, fantastic tripwire.

And Oh, i especially love how you can skip the intro credits, boy its awesome having this feature thats disappearing all over the place.
