Lets hear what this game is really like.

How is it just as an FPS game?

It's not an FPS. It's a third person shooter with ONE HIT BOX and emphasis on team strategy. 

ie. Team Fortress 2 in third person without a sniper.

Actually, recon is a sniper.

Without headshots. Therefore, not a sniper.

EDIT: And it doesn't bother me. At least now I can walk around without worrying that some little pussy half way across the map is going to kill me in one hit.

 Either way I have been in beta since the start of beta and the game is far from ready. I chose not to pre order even though I was in love with the game at the start.  The devs Stated the game will be releases when its finished crock of crap.

I wouldn't say it's not finished...just not enough to do.

It's just a simplified FPS into a TPS to cater to casuals. Don't get me wrong though, there will be the clan that dominates every match in this game.

Real men only use shotguns, right?

/facepalm

thought real men, only used knifes or C4,

nice and close.

The game is pretty decent. Some of my complaints when I first got it are already being worked on such as diversity in the armor.

The only real problem I see with th game is the overall long term end game. Right now theres what they call a campaign where Agencys compete to conquer the virtual real estate. Conquering these gives you resources which you use to produce factories, mechs, tanks, missle silos and different things. Which all sounds cool but it resets every month and there is no real tangible reward for your Agency winning the campaign. Which for alot of people will be a problem because people like to feel 'rewarded' for their work. And in a game where gear means nothing what CAN you be rewarded with? I'm not really sure..

I think AvA lets you make crafting stuff so you can make weapons.. and produces money or something.

Theres a reward, but its nothing too special.. Apparently even non-subs can get the same gear and skills as subs...

Not to sound snarky - but research a bit better..... 

Hi-Rez has a poll on the beta forums ASKING the community what they want for winning AvA to make it worthwhile.... it's already up to 6+ pages of suggestions (also has a poll there with some suggestions)

Its still in BETA - give them a chance to work these issues out.... it's obvious it will have some perk to win - or whats even the point of playing? 

 New info from the beta boards

All level requirements and prices are getting cut in half to make them much easier to get.

In addition, crafting uncommon upgrades will be easier to craft.

Total levels will also be maxed at 50. In the future we will expend the levels and give additional rewards.

 Sounds awfully similar to Tabula Rasa. What's the similarities and differences?

Correct me if i am wrong but i thought Tabula Rasa was no PVP game at all. That`s what kept me away from it.

This game is supposed to be all about Conflict between players while the PvE aspect is not very important.

I agree, been at start of beta as well. Game is not ready to be released. Just like Failcom-AOC/ and NC-Aion did wrong and release when not ready; when will they ever learn.

And to the Tabula Rasa part. Even though i never bought the game i do know, there was PVP; BUT, the pvp was between clans. Clan holding a certain spot could be rivaled by another.

People are going to be really dissapointed with this game.  Not enough to do ...and just too repeatitive with what there is to do.  also AvA sucks IMO.  It is NOT massive...it is 10v10....nothing different than the pvp.  also have fun joining a AvA without an agency and without a 10 man squad after that....thumbs down.   Its good to play for a month...then i am done....i already preordered :(

pre-orders can cancel, unless u did steam. (NO U CANT REFUND, IMPOSIBLE. CUZ THATS MEANS WE LOOSE MONEY).

PS: game stop, pre-order is win. They don't rip you off, since a pre-order is simply just reserving a copy, you only have to put 5dollars down at GameStop (usually not mentioned, but thats the mim req to pre-order)

You can get a refund on steam between now and Feb 1st.... Just put in a ticket 

100% 

do not waste time with this turd, TF2 is better and free after purchase

I don't see how people thought this was going to be any different then what it is. I was shot down in posts early on for saying there was no point because it had less going for it then most FPS and it had a monthly fee. What were people thinking this game could of possibly been after they released the initial details on it?

Also to the guy who hates snipers in FPS, welcome to realistic. I'd also much prefer a game with snipers that can one shot then an FPS that has the you can run super fast in melee mode and kill in 1 melee hit from a decent distance to the player (not saying GA has this but most FPS seem to be that way now a days and it's ridiculous and so unrealistic).
