Post your very first impressions!

[Palle]

I loved it. Only problem was servers not showing up, but there was a quick fix to it, and then server brwoser loads slow and crashes often, but once you get into the game, I never crash, i dont lag, and most seems to work.

Only thing is, that sometimes the weapon doesent feel like reloading. Otherwise i gotta say its a pretty good beta, one of the best imo.

I played a round or two last night and I have to say, I am really going to like this game. It runs super smooth on my computer, and gameplay is MUCH improved from the first game. Good job Tripwire!

gameplay is great fun in my opinion. I just love my mosin nagant which is kinda awesome gun in my opinion will. Server browser is bit annoying. Second annoying thing is the map vote its too fast in my opinion.

I'm really impressed. RO2 really feels like a great sequel to RO and brings it up to date with the other great modern shooters. Only played infantry for about 1/2 hour but loved it.

I had the server list bug but was able to join a game using my "recently played" list (1 server that I had tried to join but was full). Hopefully they get the server joining done well and better than the constantly updating pain in the #@$ that is Killing Floor's.

I ran maxed out graphics setting with "war movie" post effects (love the names of the choices there) and had nothing but smooth gameplay.

See y'all on the front.

Just played a couple of rounds. Died a few times, then got the hang of it (or old RO skillz came back ) managed to kill loads of people with artillery and also when I finally got the sniper.

To me it feels like a much improved RO:Ost:
+ I like the cover system tho I dont always use it, depends on the situation.
+ Gfx
+ Love the weaponsounds/voices, tho the music sounds a bit odd at times
+ many many little things

- Server browser..crashes etc as said before
- Where is my bayonet
- Tank combat doesent seem like anything special tho I have to admit I never liked tanking in RO:Ost either, always preferred infantry maps

Overall it seems very good and its just a beta

The longer I play, the more it feels like the good old RO. I guess the choice of maps was not the best, we have the smallest map, Appartments, in the game played most. Just playing Fallen Fighters in territories however gives a taste of what is to come.

Unfortunately I was right and at least one of the german voice actors is not native. Thats right, the guy with the squeaky, most stereotypical voice has no idea how to pronounce german words. Shame, the other two are awesome.

I could kiss the guys at TWI for the MG-34, it is extremely satisfying to use and I think we have already formed a deep bond... My ROOst MG-34 will get jealous.
All the weapons handle awesome and sound the part.

The nicest thing, however, is that bullets now behave reliably. No longer recoil extremely dependant on ping. No longer bullets simply disappearing when you shoot. Aim, and if you would hit, you do. Everything behaves way more consistantly.

But to be honest, I dont envy you guys for the next 2 weeks, I can hardly imagine how you will get all the work still to be done on the game finished. Good thing it got delayed.

First time playing, what can I say, it crashes a lot...

 

[Zoring]

Worthy sequal, a little rough around the edges but that's the Beta. The Core gameplay/graphics and animation is excellent. Sound in particular is PHENOMENAL.

Total noob at this sort of game and got my butt handed to me many times today but still had fun. Found the cover system and iron sights to be a bit 'quirky' and it took me ages to actually get into a game due to the server browser bug. Had a bit of bother applying bandages also.

Personally, I'd have liked at least one single player mission for practice purposes as it does get frustrating when you find you are on a server full of what must be experienced FPS/RO1 players that were dealing out some serious whoop-***! (if I wasn't then I seriously suck!). I didn't like the amount of 'clipping' instances I came across though and I'm pretty sure I was killed by someone sticking their rifle barrel through a brick wall (not bullet penetration).

One positive is that I had the game settings just about maxed out and it was pegged at around 55-60 FPS and very smooth. It does look very nice and the sounds are top notch.

I'm looking forward to getting some serious practice in and hopefully notching up a few online kills in the not too distant future.

I hope some of the maps in the full game are a bit bigger, as of now i can grab an smg and take people out with ease. Bolt Rifle seems very hard to use on the crowded maps like Apartments. Overall, good game. When the bugs are ironed out a great game for sure.

 

[Chekhov]

I love it

 

[brain]

Small nitpicky thing.

The Mosin bolt is far too quiet and smooth. IRL it is heavy, stiff, rattly, and loud as hell. I don't know how it compares to the K98 since I don't have any RL experience with it, but I have heard that Mauser bolts were far smoother. I speak as a 1934 Tula Mosin owner. :>

 

[PsYcHo126]

Ok, I played it for a while now! (Steam says 106 Minutes)
And I ****ing love it! The only thing that annoys me is the performance. But the game itself is amazing! The atmosphere is really great. The running, mantling, etc is so fluid! Good work! Really, I love it!

Please work on the performance, than I'll love it even more

One of the best games I've played in many years!

 

[markopoika]

I was a bit afraid with this freeaim thing, but it works really good. Whole game sounds and looks great. I'm kinda surprised with the state of the game tho, was awaiting some kind of release candidate or something like that
Great fun and cant really wait for more maps etc..

 

[El_Ejcovero]

After un-gluing myself, because I have to go to school... THIS IS AWESOME!

 

[Maizel]

Ima just keep posting in this thread.

The game is cool. I did not expect as much Old school RO1 feeling, but surprisingly, it's there. And this is even relaxed realism. So that's good.

But as said before, technically, it could use some shine. It seems to dislike ATI cards in particular.

 

[Moonymoon]

It's brilliant! At least the infantry/CA maps. I tried out the tank map a few times, but I just couldn't get into it. I didn't like the fact that it almost discourages tanking with human players. I got bored to the tank map quickly, and switched back to infantry ones. I spotted a few bugs, maybe I'll post them later. Runs very well on my machine nevertheless.

 

[RossoDam]

Lovely game. Worked perfect on my laptop, gameplay was great and etc.

However there are some bugs that TWI needs to fix, the most important of them all is the server browser crash, very annoying thing that happens all the time.

I do only have one question, why is there another word besides my game name, like FT1, FT2 or FT3 with it? I tried to remove it or change the whole name, but it's still not gone. Does anyone know something about this issue?

Fire Team, shows which squad you belong to. It is not part of your name.

Countdown is ****ing terrible.
