Plus the longer it takes the easier it is for a good player to come out ahead.
Well if it's too long it's tedious.
.8-1 second seems to be the magic number for a game like this.
I have another question. For those in beta, how hard is it to control vehicles w/ mouse + keyboard? I've only played shooters on console so controlling vehicles is pretty easy with a gamepad.
This game looks so sick! Been trying to get a beta key but its so hard lol... Would love a key if someone gets one. How does it work with characters? Can you have one in each faction or does it limit you?

I don't know about beta but they said in the final release you can only have one character. I think it's mainly to stop people creating smurfs and team killing the opposite faction to help capture a base.

im sure you will be able to use your 360 controller on all the vehicles but its not necessary.
its no different than bf3, flying is pretty similar to it also.
so yes, mouse+keyboard is perfectly fine for everything

I'm sure mouse + keyboard is fine for everything. I was more curious how people felt it handled for vehicles when you're using stuff that doesn't have a joystick, i.e. mouse and keyboard. Since I've not played BF3 on PC only on the 360.

i flew planes in bf3 better with my mouse and keyboard then my joystick tho i have not tried my joystick in ps2 yet
id imagine you might prefer 360 controller, as m+k takes some practice
all i can say is, it feels a lot like the bf3(pc) jet ( at least as a terran[mosquito])

Ok cool. Thanks. I signed up for the beta today so we'll see when/if I get in before release.
Just because an NDA is there doesn't mean everyone is going to listen. There is a decent chance their accounts might be banned or at least revoked access until the game is out in full.

But what's stopping anyone from just making another free account?

Nothing ofc. But you'd have to add Station Cash to both accounts if you plan on buying stuff. And any xp boosts ( assuming they have something like that ) would apply only to one account, you'd have to boost twice. There are probably more things that speak against doing that. That being said - as long as you don't plan on spending money on the game, go ahead.
If you can see this, shyaddup. If you can't, then go watch the official stuff from Sony and TB's stuff that was vetted, otherwise, stop talking out of your ass.

Where did you hear this from? Everything I heard said beta would start today.
Smedley's twitter himself.
I'm just fucking done. First it was directly after E3, then "a few weeks" after E3, then it was DEFINITELY going to be in July, and then they gave us a date (today or tomorrow) and now it's delayed into August. Oh yeah, and beta was supposed to start after Higby got his hair cut too. It's like 2009 Guild Wars all over again. :|

you should stop thinking of terms of them giving you dates.
they are fixing the game, to give us the experience were expecting. its beta and even then, you will have to put up with testing the game for them.
they still got a lot of work to do, but its obvious once u get in that the core game is godly.
EPT
