Got to play a few hours of the beta last night… very fun, although, Op Metro leaves much to be desired.
First section is fine. Outdoors, flanking routes etc. Plays like Battlefield.
Second section takes place inside a subway. Plays like any choke-point corridor shooter filled with camp happy players.
If this is how “infantry only” maps play out in the full game, I wont be going anywhere near them. Or any other map that puts a large section of playable area indoors and forces you into corridors.
Will post up more impressions after I spend some more time with the beta over the weekend.
Had an email from Funcom this morning with a key to the Bloodline Champions beta.

Looks very interesting.
Arena style PvP with mouse aimed attacks instead of auto-lock/random number generator combat.
After growing rapidly disenfranchised with the WoW style of auto-attack/sticky target combat and number generator guff in PvP, any games with a combat system that involves some actual player skill is already on a good footing with me.
As far as I can tell, there is no NDA on this so for once I’ll be able to post about it as I play.
Expect updates soon!
I just got access to the APB Beta!
Unfortunately I forgot to check my emails over the weekend so only received confirmation this morning which was too late to make the first test night over the weekend. Will set the client going later today so I don’t miss any more action. Had forgotten I signed up for this tbh, looks like a lot of fun.
Wont be able to say much due to the NDA but if/when it lifts I’ll post up my opinion on the game immediately.
In the meantime, if you are part of the Furious Fighters group… see you online soon!
