I have it preloaded. It was ready for me when I went in Uplay right after the email.

Still no email. I guess I'll see if I have a preload for it when I get home.

ETA 1: Just got home. Nothing.

Hmmm when I try to log in to ubisoft on the wildlands page it tells me to put in my email and pw, and it just keeps reloading doing the same thing over and over again.

ETA 2: tried with a different browser. Said I've already registered and I got the invite. Nothing on Uplay. Just the full game.

ETA 3: Okay. It says I wasn't picked to play the beta. I bought the full gold version of the game which said I was guaranteed beta access.

The game is kind of glitchy; but I can confirm it is fun as hell. It's basically MGS5 cooperative, which is what I wanted.

Eh, I don't know how much polishing they'll get done in the next few weeks. That's disappointing to hear.

A lot of threads on Reddit saying that same. I haven't played yet, and I'm already extremely disappointed. I was hoping The Division would be a game I could play for years, and I gave up 3 months after launch. I was hoping this would entertain me for at least a year or two, and it sounds like it has the same damn optimization issues ARMA 3 has.

Damnit.

It's surprisingly playable at 40fps, or maybe that's console nostalgia talking

It is extremely fun, though.

5.11 must've given them a lot of money, because half of the items in the game are 5.11 branded

*Factoring in that this is beta*
I started up at 6am EST with no issues. The game ran with no hiccups.

At the moment. No. If I do, it would only be the Standard Edition.
- I found my self gravitating towards my Xbox controller for this game, so I'd like to try the Xbox One version. Gameplay went smoother IMO without the keyboard/mouse.
- I prefer solo R6/GR games over multiplayer. I think this game would be better with friends.
- Performance issues can always be fixed with a patch, but AI fixes almost never get completed or revamped.
- I don't mind the Ubisoft rinse and repeat, but I know I'll get bored and never finish the game.

Games kind of fun, for my first Ghost Recon experience. The gun play is decent and plentiful choices. I like the in game friends list, hit info on a player and it shows their stats, and their game play style. I saw; Gunslinger, Scout, Gurkha, Overwatch, so far.

Very similar to the Division with the map and side missions. Even searching for intel, etc. The skill leveling is kind of interesting you get skill points but also have to help the rebels by marking stuff they can use. And can only skill up if you have both skill points and points in the right rebel help category.

The worst thing that I can see happening is the same type of thing that happened in the Division. Once those that can play more often move on from an area, finding friends to join with will get less and less. Although I have not played enough to see how the instance thing works. That was my biggest gripe with the Division. Joining friends that were too high a level and only being able to see their maps(negating any chance to do missions I needed) basically hiding behind cover from overpowered enemies, SUCKED!

This could be a good game if they really found a way to keep everyone on the same instance and not scale enemies to gear levels and such.

ETA - Still have my 3 invites for PC if anyone needs one.

Buddy got the email at 5am. Downloading now.

Started the download and went to sleep as soon as I got home around 10am... WTF it's only halfway done!

Seriously feels like a The Division clone with a different skin/theme.

Not a bad thing, but very, very much The Division.

Played through the story mission and the side missions in the beta, was fun, lots of bugs and glitches, animations that need to be fixed.

Was fun, but not much to do.

Surprisingly not all of them.

If they have armor on (purple faction guys) they can take some hits unless you have a big gun.

The normal guys die damn near instantly. Headshots are 1 hit kills.

It's just the way they set the game up. It plays damn near identically to The Division. The way you move, the way you interact. The missions/side missions, it's all damn near a clone.

I don't know why they didn't put in jump though lol.

Getting terrible performance. 5820k and 980Ti. Anybody know if there are new drivers out?

I have a 3440x1440 monitor so that may have something to do with it.

Finally got it installed. Didn't get to play a mission but spent almost an hour going through all the character customization options, as well as all the gear, weapons, skills, etc.

I like what I see.

So basically it is a FarCry game without all the stupid story just for the sake of being stupid.

I loved how Farcry 4 had magic disappearing bullets. About 240 units of measure away and you were too far to shoot a target. Take two steps closer and suddenly your bullet would hit them.

Gaming has taken such a collosal turn for the worse over the past 5 years.

One of the greatest tactical shooters was the Novalogic Delta Force series even if Voxels made your eyes bleed.

Now we have consoles many times more powerful than my old P3 866 that ran DF2. Yet here we are with bullshit game play and a focus simply on graphics thanks to lazy as shit game design.

4790k and 980ti here. According to the in game benchmark I am averaging about 45FPS on very high, 2560x1440. Game is not optimized well at all! As for drivers...when I checked this AM, no new ones released as of yet.

I might get this game after launch once reviews start to roll out. From what I see now...no way I am gonna commit.

and before anyone says it...I know it's a beta. I've played betas that were MUCH better then what we have here. I would go out on a limb and say that the Division beta played much better for me.

I like it, its similar to the division but with the controls being different it took me a bit to get adjusted, they really need a dive/combat roll.

You can only interogate certain people in a mission, theyll usually have a distance marker above them.

It seemed that in co op it will be the number of players and no AI, so you can roll with just 2 or 3.

I dont think the enemies level up along with you like the division, theres not all the DPS and toughness that you have to keep upgrading so everybody stays the same you just unlock better gear?
