Applied for the BETA.
Hopefully it isn't as bad as HLL: Vietnam, which is £30 I will never get back.

Beta is open for all pre-orders, it runs from 21st-23rd August. I'm absolutely gutted as I'm away.

I've not seen a single bad review from the alpha/closed beta periods - it looks/sounds like a very well-made game. But we'll see.

Probably no fun with a controller, eh?!

Controller support is included, with mild aim assist, because they say in their dev vlogs that it's impossible to shoot anything using a controller without it.

Those with keyboard/mouse will be better off of course, but this is being labelled as a "Dad Shooter" (i.e. not silly run-and-gun, but tactical, but not to the level of something like Arma) - so there may be a community for it! (It's coming to consoles in the future, too.)

Oh. Controller Support. Nice.
I was checking out Squad last week but it did not feature a controller.

I once was a fan of Arma or Operation Flashpoint, so mil sim with team focus.

In general I’m not needing a shooter… also I’m glad there is no war in my area… but asking for a friend… this could be the team focused, talking silly, acting sillier kinda mil sim game?!
Never was a fan of Battle Royale.

That's what the hope is! The dev's own clips of them playing the game are silly:

“no battle Royale”, “no extraction shooter”… tactical all out warfare… the steam trailer states. I like to read that.

Oh, you already pre-ordered.
40 quid atm… so it’s probably gonna be 60 when it’s released, eh?!
Is it guaranteed to play the beta, if one preorders today? Any idea?!
 


😊👌

Edit: yes, after release the title will be 60 euro.

Edit 2: from what I got, you are aloud to refund during the beta ((21st to 23rd) 40 quid preorder)), even when you played more than the usual 2 hours (on steam). 💪

If this is a 'DAD' shooter then I will 100% check it out.
I am way too old to hold my own now in BF and COD - Even though don't play much of either of them these days as both shite and similar.
I have not pre-ordered so very unlikely to get into the BETA.

Purchased HLL: Vietnam and that has some very big issues at the moment.
Poor performance, crashing and people camping at certain points of the map where the Vietcong build tunnels.
But the worse thing which I haven't really experienced, apparently the PS5 version to keep up frame rates doesn't show all vegetation so PC players are hiding in bushes which aren't there on the console version - Also apparently the auto aim on console is very overpowered and you land pretty much every shot.

Pre-order enjoy the BETA and cancel pre-order.
Then if you enjoy the game, buy a cheaper key online.

Nothing serious I hope. I fixed the stick drift and probably just messed something else up while reassembling. R2 is constantly pressed now. I’m positive that it can be fixed.

If not… I’m thinking of getting a steam controller; just for more quality in general. Not sure yet. Let’s see.
