beta extended until 6a EST tomorrow.
my thoughts: game is great, handles beautifully on console. group system is fantastic, lets you free-roam the streets of NYC with your buddies and seamlessly load into missions with them.
things the game needs in my opinion: the ability to crouch independent of cover would be a big one for me. this would especially help in the Dark Zone when you're trying to retreat under fire, or in missions when you're trying to get into position without alerting NPCs.
which brings me to another point, stealth. stealth, I found, is impossible. I believe the game could do with stealth mechanics (sneaking around, stealthy melee kills, that kind of thing).
next on my list is attachments. i love the ability to modify my weapons, no objection to it there. however, what i did find annoying was the fact that i couldn't attach a foregrip and a laser to the same weapon, even though they were attached to separate barrels.
lastly, i feel like the game could do with less light during the night time. it seems to me like in a time of emergency like that, power would be cut short in that quarantine region in order to conserve, especially in places like the Dark Zone. it would add an element of eeriness and a more desolate feeling to the game.
anyways, that's my two cents.
