Ugh choices , choices. Looks like the server choice is more important than the faction right now. Alot of rage on the forums about the european servers being laggy (for europeans). I might even check out the USA East servers, since the USA servers are run by SOE themselves while the european servers are run by some german outfit (ProBienSat1) which is aparantly not doing something right since the USA servers are not lagging.
 
Had no problems a few patches this morning caused me to restart the game a few times but ultimatly a very fun game :) :D
 
This game is AWESOME. Really enjoying it and will surely get at least 6 months play out of it.
Downloaded from Steam the night before last with no issues. Playing VS on Miller and am at rank 10 or something now.

Pro's
+ No idea how they got the hit-reg on, but even though I am playing on EU servers, I haven't noticed any hit-detection issues. Sure a bit of a lag spike here and there, but in 5 or so hours, nothing to complain about.
+ IMMERSIVE! Running into battle with 34 guys on the ground, 6 aircraft overhead and 4 tanks at the rear. Seriously.
+ 3 continents. That each hold a maximum of 2000 players at any given time.
+ Great balance so far between classes and vehicles.
+ Active developers. Check official forums / Reddit / Twitter. These guys are all over the show helping out and giving insights.
+ Incredibly complex. This game will take a shitlong time to learn and for me is wicked!

Con's
- Optimization is very poor at the moment. If you're getting above 60FPS constant with anything over low settings, you either have a R25k gaming rig or are very lucky. Guys with GTX690's and i7's at 5GHz are getting framerate issues even. Needs work, but the devs are on it.
- Character persistence and lack of account persistence. So you've played 10 hours and unlocked lots of gear with certs / SC (currencies, ingame and real money based) and now want to check another faction / server? Start from scratch.
- F2P model with micro-transactions. Unless you want to spend real cash, a lot of time investment to unlock slight upgrades. Not P2W though (pay to win).
- The need for an outfit (PS2's version of clans). You can really only lone wolf and squad hop for so long before wanting to be a part of a community.
- Incredibly complex. This game will take a shitlong time to learn and for some may not be wicked!
 
Wierd u say that im running a laptop with nvidia quadro fx core to duo and i get average of 50-60fps on lowest of low :P yes i was even surprised when i got it to work
 
Well i started playing an hour or so ago.

First thing i did was wonder where i am supposed to go which the map helped with and secondly i had a tough time distinguishing enemies from allies.

Now i am wondering how the heck to taker over a facility/base and how some guys take a rocket launcher in the face and a few bullets and then end up killing me with no health and no shields.

Where is everyone,we should join up.
