DFX2 Open Beta
 

http://www.novaworld2.com/index.php?...id_4624/page_1

Definitely saw it coming. And yes, they did attend GDC, at some private meetings, I believe.

Awsome - Glad I'm a gold member :D

coolio

So if no one picks up on any glitches or poorly implemented features we know who to blame.
I'm for that. :D

The fact that we will be able to try before we buy is a welcome development.

lol, sure, blame me I don't care :D

Awesome

i cant wait....an uh hey uh steve ur emoticon what ever
hope it doesnt swallow that chaw....

dont really understand a beta test for an expansion on an old game engine.. but oh well

i think sooner or later other sites will have the beta for download, you know its call the internet

after endless wait...

Probably, but if your novaworld2 login isn't a gold member status it probably won't do you any good - you won't be able to do any thing if novaworld2 won't let you login

come on Nova, send your favourite fan site some exculsive info :D

It is an old engine, but I think this game is more catered towards the multiplayer gameplay, and mapping content. Plus the engine has been added to (e.g. better network code, etc. etc.) so that's cool as well.

sorry to say the old NL-gang is gone now days, they have anew team running around so they don't even know us anymore!

Actually that's not entirely true. There are still old school Nova employees such as ravenn and Wupass, which have been at Nova since around the DF1 era and are still working. There's probably a handful of others too.

They're just real busy at the moment, and don't have time to do anything exclusive. All they could do was submit a few pics on NW gallery and that's it, then they went back to their work.

How do I know? I talk to one of them every now and then. :)

We've carried their title for years...not really any other games have such a vast community for what..10 yrs? We have shaped DF into what it is..other wise it would be a game forgotten about.

gold member what the hell i play nova game when it start with landwarrior i like to play nova games.why do nova not make a demo test with old players i think we can tell more things to make a game cool

I don't see any problem.
If people are willing to pay nova for extra benefits I don't mind them getting access to the game early.
They will be basically extra beta testers.
Eventually other scum .... oops I meant silver members like me will be allowed to test the game.

Many idiots went completely psycho and thought that silver members would not get beta access to DFX2. They will.

It's just that gold members will get it before silver.

And you can't blame Nova for the gold member feature either. You know why they did that.

yea because they weren't making money anywhere else lol

Yeah, lol.

is there a download yet if so where...?

p.s. how will we be notified when the beta is ready for download???

No download yet. Go to NW2 to check news if beta is ready.

mr chrispy will let us know

money money money and a boy ho is only 20 knowe nova well f lol

It will be out for gold sometime this week, then soon after for everyone else.

:rofl:i have be in my pc schop where i have my games frome.and there told me cant find nothing no release date no new frome novaworld :cb::sadroll:

And thats unusual Fred? no thats typical of Nova to not announce.

Gamestop and Amazon will definatly have it though.

DFX2 Beta released
 

It has been released, currently downloading it. Gold members received an email this morning containing an FTP link to it.

Taken from the email:

"To All NovaWorld Gold Members,

We’re happy to announce that the Delta Force: Xtreme 2 Beta is now available to download! Please remember that, for the time being, this is your exclusive opportunity as Gold members: you’re going to have to be logged in with a valid Gold account in order for the game to work. And we’re counting on your input: we’re putting up a thread in the Gold forums for your comments, questions, bug alerts and feedback. Keep us posted, and keep checking the thread, as we’ll be coordinating times to try and get as many people as possible playing at once. "


IcI

Just played it - Already beat the demo lol. It has 1 single player mission, and 2 multi player servers up.

You can tell its DFX, but the graphics do look better to me, and the game play is improved.


ici

booo i guess NL forgot my emaill address :D

i guess there is an NDA?

I wonder if this is the file I have to download. :bday:

I wonder if I can play the single player maps if I am a silver member.

Got to download and try.

Too tempting not to........:cb:

Not that I know of - other then the fact that it was sent to gold members.... but given my past "history" with NL I'm trying not to give them any thing to question....


Mouse has found it, as it is in their "public" ftp site lol


And no, you don't have to be Gold to play single player, only multiplayer.

I like it. It definitely is DFX, but the weapon range feels like BHD. I couldn't play single player missions in DFX, every thing was so out of line.

DFX2 has fixed that. Now I really can't wait for the full release

I have had two AI team members get stuck in a building and the third just run around in circles, trying to join up with them.



The M24 sniper rifle sounds pathetic.

Can't find a way to alter the zeroing settings on the sniper scopes.

The distance to target is shown in the scope, so there is no need to use the binoculars.

The dragunov seems to have automatic zeroing, so basically you only have to put the cross-hare on the target and pull the trigger.

This is definitely not a game for snipers who want a challenge. ( just point and click )


I have had a quick try of the other weapons and found that if I can see a target then I can kill it with any primary weapon.


I like the graphics of what I've seen and if nova can get 150 players online without the game grinding to a halt, I'm sure the people who like running around blasting away at each other will like the game.

Hmmm..... no edit button. :squintdan

Thats the graphics? =/ it looks like a viewport from 3DSM

looks like there is an NDA until the public beta is available... and i guess it is eh?

Can't see any NDA there, can you ?

think it was for the gold members who are multi testing, NL forum is so damn slow I'm still trying to find out :/
