!Is there a SP in the beta?
That's good. I think in this case, the vid was of a trooper and didn't show the background goings-on. Although it really does take a stupid amount of shooting to kill these monsters!
It sounds as though being a grunt is the least rewarding, as you have less to fear, less to do. A medic has to run around keeping everyone alive, and the spec ops has to be careful. The grunt stands there for ages shooting over and over until the monster drops. Though I guess in other situations, the grunt has to quickly take out the smaller monsters so the other two aren't overwhelmed. If so, that's a reasonable balance of duties across classes.
Im in the Beta since the weekend and I just can't get over how damn slow and unresponsive the game has become. This is not fun.
Winning isn't a problem - but it just isn't fun anymore. What a let down. :S
It seems to me, they took all the good things from RFOM and got rid of it.
- only two weapons at a time (one handgun / heavier weapon)
- bullseye tagging very awkward / unprecise
- slow and unresponsive controls
- color / art-direction (at least of the dark / night levels) makes it even harder - IMO even unappealing.
- L1 aiming is effectively worthless, since all it does is reposition the gun and tightens up the aiming speed a little

The soldier's a tank; it's actually a lot of fun if your team supports you. You lead the push, you try and manage aggro so that people are shooting at you, make sure your shield's in the right place. You're tough, but without berserk not nearly tough enough to survive a lot of heavy fire. The medic's actually more survivable against sustained damage. That's essentially where the MMO comparisons come from: soldiers are tanks, medics are priests, spec ops are DPS (and buffers with berserk).
Nope. I was talking about my plan when R2 is released.
Yes, that's why I complained about it earlier on. Insomniac should remove the first 3 player levels. Bosses die faster and fight more in higher level games.
Other than the speed and colors, I agree with your complains.
Game is still smooth and fast, just not as fast as R1. It makes it accessible to more players.
Colors in the SF Dock level is butt ugly. Colors in Chicago and Orick seems more reasonable. The Dock level is the worst (because of sunset setting).
The negative feedback on gunplay and controls have been brought up numerous times by R1 fans. It looks like they are going to stay in R2 competitive mode.
I'll be glad when the beta is over and all the haters stop playing, so I can stop hearing all the whining online. Really puts a damper on my experience when I have to listen to a handful of joes tell me how x game is much better than R2.
I'll go through 10 great games with great people, and then I land in a room full of hardcore "RFOM FANS". Basically, people who are absolutely incapable oc coping with change, and feel that making a game more accessible ruins it. If it's so much "easier" and "noob friendly" why do they suck so bad? Top tier is always top tier.

I totally agree with you! The hating is getting really old.
I think this guy has similar tastes to mine - his review of the multi-player is exactly as I experienced the beta, and the single player from the video review looks absolutely awesome and huge. I'm definitely getting this!
It seems to me that makes sense for objective based game types. TDM is a hit and miss, but for SP it's unacceptable, I'd agree.
Not to forget retarded number of tags.
Slightly slower than R1 (a lot slower than real rage mode), but unresponsive? Really?
I think IG games generally suffer a lot from art direction, but come on now, MP maps look way better than R1 maps. I really like the look of new ones.
To be fair, R3 aiming wasn't any better. Plus it now improves accuracy for weapons besides Fareye.
That said, I prefer Carbine aiming and Bulseye tagging the way it was.
premature reviews are especially worthless, whilst u can argue that reviews from most large sites are practically worthless eg ign,gamespot,eurogamer,1up etc.
Premature reviews like the IGN one should be thrown straight in the bin,
reasoning - how come IGN were allowed to review this game early?
This practice should be stampped out, the easiest way is by ignoring them (though of course its not gonna happen).
though personally based on videos Ive seen this does look like a fun game, in fact the best shooter ive seen for years

It's the same for multiplatforms, PS3 exclusives, Xbox 360 exclusives,... By the time game gets to 20 professional reviews any potential noise caused by alleged paid reviews, rushed reviews or whatever is negligible. It's unprofessional and cannot be compared to say book or music reviews (review copy of those can't differ from final as much as a game can) but since this is universal across the board I say: whatever.
Actually, they're better known for giving big-name games high scores, but again, that's most everyone, unless the publication has an axe to grind.
