that was painful to watch

yep

I've been playing it for about an hour now....

honestly as painful as those people where to watch, that's a GOOD player it seems.

The FOV is locked to What seems like 70º, The input has lag and it smoothed over, There isnt much you can change in terms of video settings and mine looks washed out and kinda terrible ( 1080P @ 60 FPS for those console boyz! )

All in all, I'll give this a little more of a go... But i think I'm going to return my pre-order.

There is.

I had a brief play. It definitely has some input lag and the default mouse speed is laughably slow, I could barely turn around corners let alone shoot anything. Controls feel floaty. Some of the weapons seem kind of nerfed, I'm not sure what the lightning gun is good at, and the vortex rifle shoots like a rail gun but doesn't do rail gun damage. Demon rune is kind of fun when you grab one. FOV is annoying.

It feels okay for a casual game, but I don't think I'll play it with any kind of lasting value. Feels like a console game.

God damn it. Catering to the console crowd again. I bet we have Bethesda to thank for this.

Sounds like black ops 3 is better...

You gotta zoom in and charge the vortex rifle for max damage. I usually use the static rifle instead. Fire off your charged shot then switch to another weapon to finish the man off. The lg is actually rly good, i think it does 8dmg a tick. My fav is prob rocket/shotgun combo. You can skip the long ass reload a bit with the shotgun by switching weapons after shooting, at least it seems that way.

If they let you change directions with your double jump the movement would be way better.

I haven't had any mouse issues but i heard some peeps had similar problems. You can add +set g_fov to launch options to change fov but i didnt really notice a diffy after changing it to 100

It's obvi that they attempted to streamline and help familiarize a new audience with the concepts of arena shooters. It still takes plenty of skill and is rly fun. Just cuz it ain't no q3, you shouldn't let it stop you from trying. The more i play the more i enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I can set fov to 120... Total movement control... Trick everything.... Etc etc with a real man's game blops3...

minus one nut

It's pretty fun. The pace is fast enough for an aging quake player. Seems unfinished, but it's only a beta.

No rocket jumping? Lol wtf...

Returned it.

It's terrible, seriously.

Another gripe, why the hell can't we put keys 1 2 and 3 for wepon choices again? Mouse wheel then q is the only option?

Why would you need more than 1 key to switch between 2 weapons it doesn't make sense

lol

Also curious as to what it is exactly that he "returned", then.

Also, beta, morons.
Oh no I can't tweak every aspect of the game through menus. Newsflash : they're testing the server loads and gameplay balance, not player UI.

I've been enjoying it.
Different feel than q3, but that's a sign of the times. I also realized that older age has caught up with me as I am consistently one of the worst players in every match..
Not sure that I like the melee - in q3 part of the skill was circle-strafing in close distance while hopping rockets and out targeting your opponent. Now it feels like if you close the distance they can just grab you and smash you; I find myself engaging further out to avoid it.
lot of fun for a beta and i recall the old days when q3 had the beta test and we were all hopping around longest yards - nostalgia.

Menu disavled, Console removed, all commands involving UI are locked out and not allowed to be changed..... It's a console port if you want me to be more specific.

Word is, they're not going to change those facts because they want it to be cross platform for multiplayer again.

Spot on... My god so spot on.

Even though I'm clearly angry about it, and I've returned my pre-order I honestly hope it changes for the better...

to be fair Halo's melee only worked if you suckerpunched someone. Otherwise you'd leave yourself wide open for a shotgunblast in the face.
