I'm going to pick up a copy for the weekend.
I played the beta, and it certainly has a Tribes-esque feel to it. Environment and atmosphere looked great. The maps feature "real" players interspersed with NPCs which gives it a cinematic feel to the battles. There's some unique weapons (smart pistols) and it seems customization of classes has huge potential. Map space was surprisingly tight quartered which makes for fast paced fights. I didn't quite like this aspect of the beta, as it seemed like I was getting stepped on by Titans frequently and often by accident. Guess I should have ran across the walls instead.
See you on the frontier.
Sent you a pm with the info.

I don't have a whole lot of time for gaming, haven't touched BF4 in months, but I was waiting to see what Squidly had to say about it since I saw him post about building a new PC and purchasing it. I was hoping it wasn't another Hawken game which turned out to be horrible.
I'd only purchase it if there were some AK to play with to make it more enjoyable. I was really enjoying BF4 until everyone seemed to disappear. If I have time I may pick it up late this week or over the weekend.

So far I am enjoying it I am lvl 44 right now so have a good portion of the unlocks and working on the achievements as I go. I like the fact you can choose to play one game type or random. It really does depend on the teams you get and unfortunately I seem to get on teams that are about to lose or just have no concept of any sort when it comes to tactics or teamwork. That being said I like the game. The fact that even if you don't have a titan you can still take one down with your anti-titan weapon or rodeoing keeps it from being lopsided. Definitely looking forward to the expansions as this game grows in popularity.

I agree with Gunny... I'm enjoying the game (although I haven't been on as much as I'd like due to prior commitments, and last night, exhaustion.) I'm level 23 or 24 currently. The unlocks and burn cards keep it interesting, as does the experience system and prestige cards.
I do agree with the end of this review, however. This game needs community features badly if it wants to sustain viability over the course of time.
PC Gamer Review
Private servers, along with the ability to tour maps and practice them are essential. If they don't come sooner, rather than later, the competitive community will move on.
