I downloaded this last night.. Just barely found out it went live.. AND ITS FREE!! HOLY CRAP!!

How does Sony Entertainment make their money on what could possibly be their most impressive achievement?!

ATS Clan anyone?

Getting my butt kicked....

However, anyone playing?

You need to find a decent outfit to join imo.

Battlerank 21

Tips for new players:

Get a 2x Scope ASAP if you are not being an infiltrator.

Aim for the head.

Tippy tap your gun to cut down on recoil, you can hit b to switch firing modes.

Hit Q to spot an enemy, warning they can hear you spotting them if they are close enough / smart enough to pay attention.

Join an outfit, if don't want to join an outfit or havent found one, hit Insert, puts you in a squad, hit insert again and you will spawn near the squad leader.

Don't worry about buying new guns, they're all fairly balanced it's more about getting certs into the guns, Forward Grip and Compensator are my favs cuts down on vertical recoil.
