Last night I had the opportunity to play Wild lands in the open Beta. The following is my take on the game.
At first I thought there would a lot of issues with it as a beta. There did not seem to be. I played for about 3 hours, and enjoyed it very much. You can play solo, or as part of a crew of friends or just public players. The graphics on low scale, which is what my GTX 760 was able to play it at, was good. A little cartoon like due to the low resolution, but I was able to play it at 3440/ 1440 with no issues on low settings. I was able to get 60FPS on the benchmark which is in game. The AI team members are a little slow, but are always in support. I liked the multiple types of missions from stealth, assault, recon, support, and a story line. I played it multiple ways. I tried the recon to attack, assault, and roll up in a Gatling gun hummer killing fools. It was a lot of fun, and I think for those with the PC specs to play this, and also the prequel to this the division, that many of us would have a lot of fun playing together. Emphasis on together, as I think many of the group would get bored after awhile playing it alone. There is rebel support, vehicle driving which is much like Arma in the control of the vehicle, multiple factions with the cartel and national police that help them, and civilians. I did not even scratch the surface of the game in the 3 hours, but I did play 3 hours straight. It has a steep price starting out for the main game at $60.00 USD.
Maybe those in the group would like to look at these types of games as a small group/squad game, and start up learning to work together. I can see it helping for Arma, and in someways for other tactical strategy/shooter games as well.
I am most likely going to get this game, which will mean I will be buying an upgraded graphics card to play on higher setting in the near future with tax money. Hopefully I will see and play with others in the near future as well.
