shubn's OP is from 2014, so we've been waiting for this for a while.

It's been getting great reviews from early people. I'll be playing it. No idea what kind of MP modes it has. I'm downloading now. Let me know if you want to join tonight or later in the week. It's a good opportunity to try it out before we have to pay for it.

Definitely keen to try it out. I'll only be home in a few hours, so probably won't have it downloaded by tonight if it's a significant size. But could try for later in the week.

It was about 15-17 GB download iirc, and Steam says the install size is 30.

All I saw was the start screen and some menus though, because I kept getting disconnected every 15 seconds.

Great ambiance though. Menus were nice too. Shows attention to detail.

People in the Steam forum report pings from 50 to 200, and they wonder where the servers are at. Chinese engineering.

Will try again tomorrow.

There's no ability to form teams or invite friends as of now. It's listed as WIP in the interface. I've managed to play with a friend by having both of us search at the same time but we didn't always end up on the same team. The ping issue is real, it's either very good and everything feels snappy or it's really bad and most of your bullets don't register.

It's an alpha though so I expect most issues to be fixed when it launches. I'll most likely pick it up then, it feels fantastic to play.
