So I was lucky enough to get a PS3 code for this.

Played a few games and pleasantly surprised - nice shooting, seems to reward teamwork and slower paced gameplay.

Excellent weapon customisation. Anyone else in, thoughts?

I'll try the PC beta if it gets one, but I hold out little hope that this is nothing more than a mediocre military shooter with an online MP that will die before the end of the year.

I got in because I own Splinter Cell. I didn't like it. Played like a hour and a half.

Just played two games and I'm impressed. -Cover system is an evolution of the one used in Conviction -Maps are very open with tons opportunities for flanking -Kill times are fast with only a couple of bullets taking down a target (or yourself) keeping in line with previous GR games. And attempt to run and gun will get your ass killed so teamwork is a must -Allies are interlinked at all times to allow for co-ordination much like the SOP system from Metal Gear Solid 4 -The gametype available, Conflict, is much like Killzone's Warzone with dynamically shifting objectives -Weapon customization is really extensive but I've only unlocked a handful of attachments. I'm loving the emphasis on teamwork and quick kill times; no run and gunning here. It's slower paced than nearly every shooter out there so it'll take a few minutes to get used to. Gonna go play some more.

Pop in your disc and then on the main menu just press X. It'll start downloading. On the 360 at least, that would probably be square on the ps3.

Glitchspot won't let me edit my post: For those of you that still have your Conviction disk, just go to the main menu and it'll prompt you to press "x" which will take you to the download for the Future Solider beta. It's about 1.23 GB so it shouldn't take long.

I don't want to get into the beta, but it amazes me that people are questioning where to enter. Literally half the gaming sites i'm going on has a Ghost Recon beta advert which asks for an email and whether you want the ps3 or 360 version.

People on GAF's thread are claiming that the 360 has framerate issues...been fine for me on PS3 (oooo system wars material ;) ) Maybe it's down to server issues or something.

See this is why I am a PSN+ member. Free games and every beta you can think of in regards to the PS3. I'm about to play it in a minute after I had some coffee.

Play it before you bash it because that couldn't be further from the truth.

I have Splinter Cell: Conviction, so I 'spose I will try and install it later today :]

I hope I'm able to play a bit of it. I don't have Xbox Live Gold anymore so multiplayer might now work, if it's got that.

Turned on my PS3 last night and it was automatically downloaded and installed so it was a nice surprise. Didn't let me get into a match though. :x I actually bought Conviction on the 360 so I guess I'll be able to try out both. :P

If this game is anything like Ghost Recon Online then it's going to be crap. I played GRO and all anyone ever does is be sniper and camp choke points. Then all they have to do is pop up and snipe someone (snipers are basically 1hk) as people try to rush them down a long corridor. I hope Future Soldier doesn't follow the same crap map design as GRO.

I really hope this game lives up to GRAW 1&2. They were great tactical team based games with a very mature and loyal community.

My only experience with the game was on the 360, so that it my only viewpoint.

GRAW2 was awesome on PC. There were still people playing it online when I check a couple of weeks ago.

Am cautiously optimistic. For everything else they've done wrong with the Tom Clancy games, Ubi tends to turn out some pretty great multiplayer.

I earned a code off raptr for 360, but not sure if I'll bother using it or give it away. Just because I generally disliked the series thus far.

The game itself is solid. Cover mechanics work well, it's all pretty snappy and one mess up leads to a swift death. Fine until you get to...... aiming. Shoulder button aim is still third person, scope equiped or not. To scope or aim through crosshairs you have to click in R3. It's a bit annoying, but no where near as bad as the f***** TERRIBLE lag that is happening in the game. They need to fix that really fast, because it ruins the game. Netcode is bad, even for a beta.

I got invited for 360. If anyone is anxious to get in, I can give you the code.

Actually I have two 360 codes, got one from Raptr too.

The core gameplay is excellent, as expected. The game is like a more realistic version of Gears. Cons: No server browser in beta...better come in the retail package. It said there was a melee button, I didn't try it out, but this game does not need melee combat.

Just played some more a little bit ago. Some dude got the most epic kill on me , he jumped over a barrel , landed on the ground in prone , rolled and got me with a headshot. It was awesome lol. Being an old school socom player , I'm really liking all the teamwork. Everyone I played with had mics and people were very open to following directions. No COD rookies wanted in this game

This is me playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULByX0wEVw

This is what i personally thought about the game:

Goods:

  • Gameplay is fast, character movement is smooth and quick, you can jump off walls and move around very easily unlike other TPS games like gears of war for example
  • I liked how the game has a mini map GPS like system that guide you to where exactly you need to go to find the objective
  • Killing people takes only 2 bullets ( which i also consider a bad thing )
  • Controls are very easy to learn

Bads:

  • Zooming in brings up a First Person View which isnt really needed, it should have a 3rd person view when zooming in like Uncharted.
  • It adds nothing new one bit, everything in this game have been done before in other games ( this game is very similar to the Socom games)
  • Killcam is complicated
  • Your death is based on who see you first and who aim's faster, thats about it. you die with only 2 bullets.

Your death is based on how well you coordinate with your team. This isn't CoD.

played 2 games, promptly deleted it *360 version*

I've been in too many so called beta's to know that not much is changed in the fianl product, atrocious lag, no reason to be an engineer, cover mechanic that locks you into cover motions getting you killed.

the fact you say it feels like socom is interesting, i used to really enjoy that game until it was filled with cheaters. I'll give the beta a chance, i just watched the trailer aswell, it might end up going on my to buy list after all.

yea man , it definetly has a socom 2 feel to me. This is the game socom4 should have been
