The Crysis 3 Open Beta now available on PC - X360 and PS3.

The hunter mode is fun, its too bad the game is still using P2P and is laggy - but other than the lag it is fun.

downloaded it and play 1 game on PS3 (similar to BLOPS2 hard-point).... laggy as hell (well, guess it's beta)

first impression, assault rifle - shit, shotgun - awesome.
i hate it same as the prev Crysis 2. ppl camp in the corner, turn on invisible and wait for you.

I just played 2 games on PC, looks awesome and plays ok, i think the rifle needs a bit less recoil on it.

[Outlaw213]

I think the recoil is fine. And yeah you do get the issue with campers using cloak also way toooo lagggy!

Only good thing about it is the Hunter mode, no camping there.

Played some Hunter mode on PS3 with hero and really enjoyed it.
I'm playing the main competitive mode on PC and I'm really enjoying that too. Tempted to pick this up, for PC of course.
Only shitty thing so far is this asshole that is using an aim-bot . if they can't sort that out before release and support after release.. I will be disappoint.

Recorded some gameplay of this:

I've got another, full match recorded/produced with the same settings.
Next time (if that happens), I'll try producing the video at a better resolution.

Nice one Dmn - it looks very smooth, slick and fast, as long as it's not too laggy should do alright for itself . Map design looks interesting enough as well.

[DmnOnikage]

I can increase the brightness so it wasn't as dark as before. I tried recording in full HD last night and it worked fine. The only problem is production, to achieve a reasonable file size the video quality drops too much. But you're right, especially without recording it's smooth, slick and fast, and the lag is usually quite tolerable. I just might pick up the game when it releases.

[DmnOnikage]

I've got the right format and such now for rendering so the quality is better than what it was before^. By altering the data rate I can again affect the quality and file size. I'll probably make a few videos in the future, especially if I pick up Crysis 3.
