Awwww....I can see it now. I got so excited too :/

Still pretty pissed off having to wait to the 9th when other people already have the game, isn't there a rule where if some shops start selling early all shops are allowed to? I'm sure that's a thing, at least it should be.

Not sure exactly, but a bunch of people have the game. I know one of the biggest shops in the Netherlands is selling it, not sure about the UK but I'm sure you'd find it in a little no name shop if you went looking. I used to get all my games like 3 days early from a tiny little game shop.

Yeah, Game Mania started selling yesterday, gonna pick up mine tomorrow cause I wasn't in town yesterday :(

Apparently people are level 30+ already, so it'll be fun being fodder when the UK finally gets the game. Plus this tells me the MP progression is way too fast, I don't want to be max level in 2 days....

Yeah, tried some MP today. Enjoy being swamped by Havoks and Assault Marines with thunderhammers.

You know what it tells me?

That the people who are playing nonstop games are going to level faster than your average player.

Shock!

Playing non stop or not, you shouldn't be max level in 1 or 2 days. That's what, a week tops even for casuals?

No, not really.

With the amount of people who have the game right now, it's likely that matches are going by within a quarter of the time they normally would.
Each person will be making more kills/performing more objectives, thus gaining more XP.
Each person will also be finding matches far quicker, due to the smaller amount of games to be searched through.

That doesn't make any sense, but whatever. I'll put money on casuals being max level within a week.

How does that not make sense?

You'll be gaining more XP because normally you would not have games of 5 v 5 filled with just 3 people.
Assuming the games go to 50 kills, like most Team Deathmatch gametypes do, you've got each person on the team averaging about 16.7 kills rather than the 10 kills they'd normally average to end a game.

For a start it's 8v8, and where did you hear games aren't being filled?

Where did you hear they are?

And with the 8v8 thing, I sincerely doubt that's the 'only' TDM mode there will be. It's usually touted as "up to 8v8!", not "exclusively 8v8".

Either way:
Assuming the matches are 5v5 out of the 8v8, that's 10 kills versus the 'average' of 6.25 for a full match.

That's a pretty big assumption.

Not really. Games do that all the time, touting their 'Big Team' styled game as the 'standard'.

Kanluwen wrote:Not really. Games do that all the time, touting their 'Big Team' styled game as the 'standard'.

I meant that games aren't being filled. And AFAIK both game modes are 8v8. It's not like the game has a "Ground War" mode or anything.

8V8 is the norm. 16 players per game max. Maybe that the Steam version can handle more players.

Games have been filled up since this morning now (8 hours ago)

That changes some of my math then.

Talk about how the multiplayer works a bit? I know there are public and private matches, right? I think I saw that on the videos I've seen anyway. Is the matching fast? How is the network code, laggy, stable?

I'm not a big MP player so I can't comment on speed but the games for the most part ran without trouble and were a nice cozy mess of gore and screaming weapons. I did notice that it takes a while before you get into the game, though this could be linked to the host.

And yes, there is a private match option, which also allows you to earn XP, much to my surprise and to the disgust of some.

Gore? I thought gore was removed from MP.

Could be me then. Granted, I die a lot and when you die the screen turns black and white so it could just be dusty impacts.
