Looks so amazing but I'm worried about the whole unlock system being so complex, have to wait and see how it works out but there looked like far too many things to customize lol.

get on an alt account, get a gal...park it somewhere, make a macro to keep respawning constantly...then go over there on a light assault with your main, drop a box of ammo...kill the same guy over and over with headshots for bonus XP...repeat.

Really enjoyed the stream it gave a pretty in depth look at most areas of the game, I love the fact they did not shy away from unpolished or unfinished areas too. This has become far and away my most anticipated game of this year, hell probably the next few years. It's looking amazing, with each new vid I just become more excited.

Signed for the beta the day it was available, cannot wait to play!

Very disappointed in giving players the ability to switch vehicle seats without actually leaving the vehicle. It encourages solo play, and was a terrible mechanic in the Battlefield series as well.

I also enjoyed the NC vs. TR jabs between John and Matt. Higby always seem to get the last word. Wife kept asking me, "what is so funny?"

It was a pretty pro shot.. probably 80% luck but still the "DANG!" of it was epic.

Running thoughts as I watch.

1) Pfft, so much for that whole 'Side Grades' bollocks they were touting. I'm seeing a lot of 'Upgrade your Accuracy and Damage' Certs. Not good.
2) 8:00 That is a huge area of land not covered by hex's. Not sure why.
3) 12:03 Instant changing of position within a vehicle. I really don't like the idea of this, a driver shouldn't be able to suddenly change to a gunner's position. Basically this is a solo tank buff. Secondary weapon as an AA weapon, when ever there's an aircraft attacking, just swap. Makes it too easy.
4) 15:24 Loadstars to be added eventually? Sounds good, liked flying them.
5) Galaxy Gunship, nice.
6) I like the new flight max altitude. Think that's higher than the original.
7) The whole boarder's thing is rather vague atm. I'm hoping that there are no limits to where a player can go. Hopfuly, this will be made to a few KM's from the coast line.
8) Love the look of the day/night cycle and lighting engine.
9) 46:30 Giraffe neck on the infiltrator?
10) 47:20 Is that VS attacking with a rifle butt? Instant Melee in?
11) 51:13 I'm not a fan of these different colour skins, TBH. I'm finding it very difficult to figure out the faction of the guy running there.
12) I'm happy they're thinking about adding Hijacking. Was a pretty big thing in the original.
13) I... think they may wish to fix that drop pod. I have a feeling they're not supposed to kill their user.
14) I'm curious as to how useful prolonged base infiltration will be, if the cloaking device can run out like that.
15) Terrain is beautiful. Really gorgeous.

Side grades is in reference to micro transaction purchases. Upgrading via certs is different than purchasing upgrades via cash.

But when you buy those upgrades, you get lower damage for higher accuracy or higher damage for lower accuracy, there is always a trade off for choosing something.

This...even with a big map it's going to feel closed in if you have less freedom than you did in the last game, especially if you can't even fly over the water. Not a big deal to me, but the feeling of "huge open world" will definitely be diminished.

Whether the increase in the quality of game play that results is worth it or not is yet to be seen I guess.

He did say no ever bit of land was un-blocked for play yet. Probably isn't finished.
