lolololol. also did you guys get the endwar beta, i reserved it for ps3 and they gave me a 360 beta thing, i gave it to my cousin. seems to be the game that breaks the RTS console barrier.

[IRISH BULL]

I have a beta code if anybody wants it. I don't have an XBOX , but I was a CharlieOscarDelta.com member for a long time and moved my account.

 

If you need this code, PM me here at Urgent Fury. It will be a first come first serve. If and when I receive a request for it, I will post that its gone on this thread.

[IRISH BULL]

Beta code gone.

[Chili327]

bummer.

[IRISH BULL]

Speaking of which...Churchy, did you get my PM? If so, did it work??

[Chili327]

He hasn't been on in 13 hours - http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=Teh+Joker+X

[Xx-CHURCHY-xX]

Yeah, I got it and it did work. I played it for a while but I haven't been online.. spent most of yesterday in the hospital and today at school. I'll post up a review once I get home tonight

[Chili327]

Bastard..

[Xx-CHURCHY-xX]

Ok here it goes:

 

If you liked CoD4.. you'll LOVE this. That's because it's an EXACT replica of CoD4.

 

The beta has three maps, two of them which I enjoy VERY much, the other which is simply alright.

 

The first map (Makin) is a small village on a swamp. There are a lot of houses build on top of what would be a small lake or swamp-like area. Very Japanese since the houses do look like small huts and small houses accessible by planks and wooden platforms. This map does take place at night and causes some good fire battles in the water. There are like bushes in the water so it can be hard to see some enemies. My favorite of the 3 maps.

 

The second map (Castle) is the map I don't really like that much. This map takes place in an urban area where there are a lot of rooms and castle-like places to go into. There's a bunch of side paths and some small underpasses to get through the map. It's a pretty cool map.. but I think it can be comparable to something like Citadel. This map has a lot of levels (high and low) inside the buildings and ontop of walls. If you can release the hounds (which I'll get to later) then you can get a lot of kills easily. It pretty much has the look of a Japanese Castle with Dojo's all around

 

The third (Roundhouse) takes place on what looks like something of a war-destroyed train yard. There are two tanks, one for each side, and a crap load of objects around the map (meaning huge boxes lying around and broken trains). This one is pretty cool as it has a lot of places to hide behind and the fact that it's a circle makes it very difficult to stay alive. There's a big circular building thing in the middle and there are like warehouses along the outer layer of the map. There are also huge silos which are connected by catwalks.

 

The tanks play really well. The missile takes a while to reload so you don't sit there just blasting. You can get on the turret but you can get shot while on the turret because you pop out. Each tank takes about 3 missiles/3 rpg shots to blow up.

 

The weapons play exactly like you would expect WWII weapons to play like. There are rifles which are the powerful single shot weapons (Eventually you unlock the STG and the M1A1 which aren't single shot). There are submachine guns which a lot of people use because they shoot very rapidly and are effective. Shotguns are powerful but do take a long time between shots because they are old school trench guns. There are machine guns but I never use them. Bolt Action Rifles are your sniper rifles and of course they are effective. You have weapons from the different countries, of course.

 

As far as specials, there are your regular grenades, molotov cocktails, smoke, tear gas-type things, signal flares. I stick to the tear gas and regular nades because I'm cool like that. I've thrown some flares and they light up the whole place but I don't see any use for them unless I'm using them wrong.

 

Perks haven't changed much except for stuff like.. flamethrowers, gas masks.. there's some other stuff but I haven't gotten into those much. Most perks are the same ol' perks though. There's also perks for vehicles so you can reload missiles faster or turn the gun faster and such.

 

Now you can put TEN custom classes instead of 5.

 

Two of the maps you will play Imperial Army vs. Marine Raiders (Japan vs US)

The last map you will play the Red Army vs. The Mehrecht (China vs. Germany)

 

Overall, I like the beta. It is something to get used to because of the single shot rifles and stuff. But it has the exact feel and gameplay as COD4 maps with just new maps, weapons.. it's all the same. I still haven't unlocked everything so I don't know the extent of the perks but I do like what I see so far.
