8 hour download w/ cable modem.

so i finally played it this mounring.. first impression.. the game is going to be great.

2nd impression.. feels a tad sluggish(but thats normal for a beta)

i played for 40 mins, after figuring out the basics.. within 10 mins into the game, i already found a drop ship (whcih was cool as hell, watching it come into the _safe_ base and swing into the boarding bay (WOW) i told the ship to drop me off in the middle of no where. i walked around for 3 mins before finding a base which it seems we were battleing over.

i got 2 kills, and looted the corpse for a sniper weapon, and ammo.

but i have yet the skill to use it (argh!). from what it seems, the more kills you get the more RP you get.. which allows you to purchance certifcates to upgrade your gear. and you can learn and forget them. so i picked up some upgraded armor, new machine gun, and the ability to fly 2 ships and drive 2 cars

not a public beta =(

but hot damn.. once the game smooths out, it's going to be wild wild times.
i already noticed a few buugs from the short time i played. but it could have just been me not knowing the total key config =(
