The signup for the public was here

They said they'd let more in, but they have plenty of applications already.

I applied at about 2000 people, my app was ****ed up though, can't even logg into the forum .

A few days ago I checked again and they had about 7000 forum members.

Correct. From the page here, you can see that it is 3rd person view.

I applied the day I posted the topic, and got a key over the weekend, so they're still giving them out, it would seem.

Hmmm, my app never worked properly , probably because I put usual characters in the username. One of my clanmates got the beta there too. He does not hate the game, which is about all I can really say for it atm.

Game initially will be 3rd person, though they have committed to adding 1st person if the community wants it, not holding my breath though.

I'd have said the same about them adding XP 64bit support.

That is, until today, when I found out that they have since added XP 64bit support.

the_syco

So... 64bit machine died some time ago so using the family 32bit machine. Runs Heroes, and it's not too bad.

Cons: 3rd person view, and no prone

Pros: pure silliness, "sticky" tnt (remember that from 'Nam?), plane goes 2 feet, and then 60 degrees up...

So, it's pretty cool. Whilst flying, pressed 2, and ended up sitting on the wing

Can't include screenies, or they'll ban my account, but it's looking cool so far. I'd say it'll be pretty bug free by the time it comes out, due to the closed beta. As far as I can tell, it was a) usual buggy release, or b) put back the release date, and do more testing. They choose b.

Oh, and you'll love this: if someone is sniped within a few seconds of spawning, they get air dropped nearby. That's pretty cool, I thoght.

christophicus

Yeah the core gameplay itself is fun enough, but its all the ancillery stuff that needs to be worked on.

suppafly

any idea when its going to be released?

christophicus

No news so far.
