Seems like zh1nt0 made her best family-dinner and worjked on it for hours only to discover her sons just ate at Mc Donalds ?

Ungrateful?

They're not doing the overtime hours for the good of the game and it's community, they're working overtime for the same reasons everyone else does, for their career and for the $£$.

People don't want Metro again, so rather than rail against that with some high horse post they should take a long hard look at whoever managed the beta, and then falcon punch him.

The vast majority of the games industry doesn't pay over time and you get fuck all bonus even if a game does very well. Plus I know the guys there ARE doing it for the good of the game. DICE doesn't hire unmotivated people.

In conclusion, shut the fuck up guys. It's a month till the game is out. Deal with it.

The EA forums are all filled with entitled assholes. So unless the beta was actually a full and finished build that had all maps gamemodes and unlocks available, they'll find a way to get pissed off at whatever the beta has in it.

And even still, none of these guys were angry at Tripwire for charging $9 to get into the RO2 beta, and then waiting until 13 days before the game's release to start it.

All unlocks are availabe, by the way.

I knew that. It was just part of the point I was trying to make. There's no pleasing some people. As the zinto guy said, only the MOH and Origin people are owed a beta, everyone else is just lucky to get one and can't really complain about how EA goes about doing it.

Well I pre-ordered it for PC... hopefully I'll be able to save up enough for a $1500 rig or so by mid-November.

we still dont know how much or fast regen is?

Gotta balance the one vehicle thats supposed to be an overpowered death machine imperative to be targeted and destroyed asap.  Fucking fuckwits, the planes weren't broken in BF2 because the jets were OP, its because the AA sucked.  No bombs, and when the novelty wears off they will be sitting on the airstrip half the time.

And no bombs in aircraft. That's ridiculous.

I hope not.
