Where's the MMO part in this game? This beta doesn't feel like a traditional MMO of interacting with eachother in a big open world or cities/hubs in that world. So far all I've seen is 2 maps and 2 modes like a traditional shooter. I don't want 'modes' I want a big connected open world/planet to explore for resources and fight for, with city hubs to produce/buy supplies. District to district interaction? That makes me feel like everyone's going to be cut off from eachother. How about being able to move with my squads from one district, fight to take it over and then march directly into the next district and take that over and so on. Give me a 'warp' loading screen if I have to, but at least it would feel like a big connected planet in some way instead of queing up. Because if all it's going to be is people talking to each other in chatroom while they queue up a map/district/mode then this wil be really...really disappointing.

It's almost like these basic parts are what we're supposed to be testing and we haven't seen the rest of the game yet.

I don't know man, I think this is supposed to a direct representation of the final game. Don't those opaque words at the top of the screen say "Final Game - Work Finished"?

You know, I almost thought you two were being sarcastic about things for a moment there.

But then I remembered that sarcasm is a myth and everyone on the internet always tells the truth.

I'm so glad the game is out already, and that we're playing something that's complete, but feels unfinished.

I might actually have to post a bug report, or talk about the game on the forums! D: But I can just shout obscenities at my TV, now that I'm sure this is the final product.
