<div class="IPBDescription">well, i came home slightly intoxicated and tested this patch out...</div>Well, to get it clear, this first impression review does not claim to be the endmost truth ;-)
after downloading the patch via Steam, which worked at full dl.capacity of my net-connection, and joining a server next to me, which happened to be a Briton one (cheers fellow Europeans ;-), i connected without delay.
My first impression was, that getting onto a team was faster than before. While we were like below 8 players on the server the fps-rate was better than anytime before. Well, after running through the map for some time, it soon got clogged up, when aliens and marines build turrets or chambers.... Â
Anyway, the general feel of gameplay was, that it was initially faster than any release before ... Â before getting bogged down in the run of an extended game.
Another complaint... voice chat did not work... tried it several times.
@UWE this is the way you should continue..

The last guy that tried to review the alpha (or was it the engine test) was ripped apart.
