Quick beta review:
A friend of mine convinced me to try this.
First, infected my computer with that Origin crap, then infected my browser with their battlelog plugin thing, downloaded the newest drivers to run the game with everything in ultra.
And I don't know where to begin,
Everything in this game looks so artificial, is not even funny, the effects are way overdone, is like a modern war movie mixed with tron, an american pop music video and hallucinogen drugs. The park map, looks as if someone eats lots of grass and then **** the green diarrhea all over the screen. And of course, the glitches, so much for a thousand trillion dollar funded project.
Even RO2 looks better, and I'm certainly not a fan of RO2 lighting and shading.
The gameplay is not satisfying at all, if feels as fake as the original counter strike despite all its good animations and everything. I'm glad they did this open beta so now my friends can't convince me to waste my money on the whole thing. While I'm angry at TWI for many of the RO2 decisions, at least their game is fun and satisfying to play, which can't say the same thing about BF3. I think that after playing this game, I appreciate RO2 much more than before.
Ostfront > RO2 >>> BF3
Yes, I compared them, you mad?
