So here are my thoughts of the beta so far, I only managed to play a few games last night so bare with me:

The game, even the beta, looks visually stunning. For those who have enjoyed a firefight in the subway, you'll agree with me when I say its like being in a war movie.

The player movement is fantastic, I spent a good few minutes just jumping over walls and rails because the animation is so fluid and realistic, its virtually perfect, the same goes for going from standing up to crouched and prone.

The weapons that ive used so far seem to be alright - although I havent really played enough to make a fair judgement, I did notice a slight hit registration lag a couple of times - was this the same for anyone else? Im not sure if it was the server I was on.

I also noticed that melee attacks also seem a bit slow to respond, but when you get it right, its fantasic. Nothing is more satisfying then sneaking behind the enemy team, grabbing an opponent by the throat and plunging your blade into his neck. The animation is again, stunning - however due to the slight lag in response, I found it quicker to shoot then go for the melee in those situations where you unexpectedly run into an opposing player - is this just me or does anyone else notice this?

Joining a server can take a few minutes, of course I was sat at work all day yesterday salivating at the chance to play the beta, so those minutes felt like years - I am worried that when the beta goes public, this could take even longer unless more servers start to pop up - the only way I could get into a game was using "quick game" - which turned out to be not so quick.

The server browser opens up in your internet browser of choice - I use Chrome and didnt have any problems at all, it would be nicer if it was ingame, but this doesnt bother me too much.

Something else that I noticed which I expect to be sorted in the final release - when joining a game I couldnt open the main menu to adjust my settings until I was in a game and had spawned - and even when I died I couldnt open the main menu - again, was this just me?

Thats all I can remember at the moment, I will update the tread the more I play it

All of those little details will be ironed out by most probably Christmas. Only thing I'm worried about is the gun sights don't move once you zoom like into a red dot, would be nicer if the metal part at least swayed about a tad from side and had some movement.

I bet the graphics will be not as great as I'd expected but not bad. You can only go so far with a console these days.....
