Free Weekend!

Might make for a great streaming session, especially if we get enough folks for a 6v6 custom match...

I find myself interested, despite the fact that I've barely played the last few Battlefield games (even though I bought them).

I'm supposed to be out of town that weekend, but I may be able to sneak in a Friday night session.

I have not, but my best bud has. It's Battlefield, based on the videos. Riding horses gave it a serious Red Dead vibe. I squee (in a historically serious matter) seeing the Ottoman Empire squaring off against the United Kingdom.

Gonna see a lot of new WW1 "experts" online after this. Not exactly a happy war though. Haha.

Definitely not. It's an intriguing detour for the franchise, though. That's the big reason I'm interested.

Despite DICE saying that they wanted to go back to a Bad Company 2 style of gameplay, it really doesn't feel like it. It can be fun, but the gameplay is really weird. TTK is at least 50% slower than other Battlefield games (half a mag on a person for a kill), and the number of vehicles in either gametype is abysmal... Which may be for the best, as the tanks are ridiculously overpowered, and can really only be killed by other tanks, since no class specializes against vehicles (and what equipment they do have tends to feel useless more often than not).

That said, played with my brother as a tank crew, and we had a heck of a time clearing out the enemy (helpless against tanks, remember?). But we felt like Battlefield 4 allows for far more variety and creativity. Because of that, we more than likely will be skipping yet another Battlefield (why can't they just give us Bad Company 3?)...

Anyway, the Beta is still up for a whole week, so feel free to check it out for yourself, though I might post a video at some point...

I'm playing it, and coincidentally in the middle of reading T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I recommend both.

Sniping is a lot easier. There are balance issues, but I give them a pass with it being a beta. I do wish TyPe as a little shorter, but I like hardcore modes. I've heard the map featured in the alpha is better, but I'm ok with the map. It is wide open mostly and leads to lots of sniping.

I plan on getting it. I like the Battlefield style gameplay and I really like the setting for this one.

The bullet is real, btw. Took me forever to get used to.

I'd be into it. Schedule permitting.

What's up with English always eating up my words?

But yeah, would be up for giving it a go, see what the fuss is alll about.
