If you got your shit together, your game will unlock on Steam at 3am EST.

If you've been slacking, it will unlock on Steam at 1pm EST.

And if you're completely fucking retarded, it will unlock on Steam at 6pm EST.

Aside from the server browser crashes and frame rate issues, I like the game a lot.

It took me a bit to figure out I was killing anymore. I had 5 kills before I realized that I had 5 kills. I kept thinking i'm missing my shots. lol

They did that with the latest patch.

The frame rate is a bit dodgy for me. But I am playing on maxed out settings. (have the specs for it so know the issue isn't hardware).

I don't like the fact that sniper is limited to 2 or so players, since it's fun to finally play as sniper with something that looks like a proper scope view.

How come everyone is still getting ~150 ping in servers they should be getting ~30 in?

Must just be you?

I joined a server last night after the latest patch and had a ping of 30. The others in the server had no higher than 50.

If I wasnt so lazy I'd take a screenshot, but I'm lazy.
Trust me when I say everyone on multiple servers has had over at least 100 ping.

-Look at server in browser, see ping of ~60
-In server, ping is actually ~120
-Play for a few minutes, it starts lagging bad
-check ping, everyone's ping is 999
-Realize I'm using the MP40, and have a large advantage if everyone's ping is this high
-murder commies

My most recent experience with lag in RO2.

Why the fuck can't I bind reload to "\" like I do for just about every other fucking game? This is 20-fucking-11, what's the hold up?!

No conflicts here. I think it's just another case of lazy programming. I always run into keys game programmers don't think anyone will need so don't bother to test for. It's refreshing when I find a game that lets me bind anything anywhere (specific windows function keys aside), but it doesn't look like RO2's going to be one.

Because I use the bloody arrow keys for movement and it's a nearby button, not to mention the one I've been using for reload in games for #*%^ eons now.

Red Faction 3 couldn't give a rat's ass if I use \ or not. Been doing it since I played the game and doesn't affect live. Let's try it with Fallout 3 [later].

e: ooooooh. looks like I missed something from chats.

You've probably already bined / to something else.

tbh using the arrow keys and mouse is just silly.

WASD all the way m8.

Man I am not very good at this game at all. Its so frustrating at the SMGs accuracy. I am so use to SMG being shit at range.

No I haven't. It would've told me.

And for the gazillionth time, arrow keys = Doom. Also, I'm a leftie with the mouse. My right hand isn't comfortable on the WSAD keys (trained positioning, the spacebar being better hit with the thumb than pinky and other reasons), and I don't like the W's offset. The virtues of either choice are irrelevant to the fact that some developers just get fucking lazy.

Protip: ijkl

Spoiler (highlight to read):
inb4 newbie comes up with some contrived reason (probably involving some video game no one's ever heard of yet he acts like is a genre defining game, or a game from the early 90's before mouse-look was the industry standard) as to why the arrow keys are the best keys ever, despite the fact that they are usually in a fucking impossible to use location on almost all keyboards.
