Review

Great game, plays like Battlefield with TF2 sprinkled in. I've never played the second game, but from what I've heard they have made the game a lot faster and smoother than the KZ2; and I'm inclined to agree. In fact, the only real bad thing I can say about this beta is they expect you to play every single game mode on one map. I say again there is only one map in this beta!

Description!

There is 3 game modes in the beta....

• Guerilla Warfare (aka bodycount): Its team deathmatch, plain and simple.
• Warzone: A really hectic and fun game mode where you are given 5 missions one at a time (Assassination, Search and Destroy[bomb the base], Bodycount, or Control Point). This is the mode that really sets it apart from other FPS's. Its like playing 5 different games without having a lobby in between!
• Operations: A multi-stage attack and defend game mode. Each stage begins and ends with a cutscene, this cutscene depicts select players performing actions that effect the layout of the map.

The game has 5 classes that you can upgrade with skill points you get from leveling up. Each class has 6 potential weapons, 6 potential skills, 6 potential inter-class skills, and 3 potential interclass weapons; list and class descriptions below.

The beta lets you level to 45. I'm at 16 and I already have about %60 of the abilities and weapons unlocked. This is probably because they want you to pick up weapons fast and late in the game emphasize all of the few points you'll come by on the class you play most, which really makes deciding what your going to spend your points on hard.

**2 skill points required
***3 skill points required

Yeah I wish.. but none of the KZ games ever left PS.. it'll probably forever be playstation exclusive.


Anyway thanks for this thread, I wasn't aware they were to have an open beta until I saw this.


Everyone feel free to send me your PSN ID and I'll add you up.
