Well, it is possible to get the movies without being a member. But blah blah blah warez blah blah intellectual property blah blah blah IGN employees have to eat blah blah blah.

So I can't tell you, unless you're from TW, in which case you should be smacked upside the head for not already knowing. *smack*

Oh, and the movie KICKS ASS. I won't spoil it, but overall it upped my confidence in the title a couple dozen percent.

Except I did notice one teensy weensy thing that seemed kind of weird. Is it just me, or is there a spot where a guy starts to jump backwards, flies backwards a good bit, and then it stutters and he's standing where he was originally standing? That's the kind of lag-induced movement weirdness that you would see all the time in DAoC -- someone would jump they would keep going upwards at that vector for about a fourth of a second.

It was as if you were playing Tribes with client-side prediction turned to 0 ms in script -- or if the client-side prediction DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT GRAVITY. Probably just lag weirdness.

Anyways, the bit where the guy was ducking behind the tree and missiling the enemy craft with his buddies -- that got me all hot and bothered. It's nice to see that you can use simple tactics like that, it's exactly the kind of thing that I will be doing.

One other minor caveat -- the explosions. Ugly-ass, mostly nonexistant. There appear to only be sparks that fly up in the air, which is kind of gayish.

But, yeah, that thing rocked. I love the shot where that roof or whatever retracted -- or whatever it did -- and the Galaxy lifted off. That shot gave me an ERECTION it was so cool.

Oh, yeah, that was what it was.

Killer movie man.

I'm not at my home machine, haven't seen that movie for, hmm, about 12 hours now.

It's early beta, and netcode isn't refined yet. I am sure they are working on this by leaps and bounds.
