No it's invites via Uplay unfortunately and they have to be on the same platform as you.

Ah, no worries then, thanks anyway Enfilade.

My impressions so far summed up:

Dueling is fun, ganking is not.

It's extremely difficult and basically guaranteed Death if you're ganked, which can happen a fair bit in Brawl and Dominion. It would possibly be ok if the block mechanics were different than what they were but they make it extremely difficult to fight against more than 1 opponent due to only being able to lock onto one person and block against one stance at a time.

However dueling 1 v 1 is very fun and is basically like a game of chess compared to other melee based games like Chivlary.

Character and world design looks great.

There are game mechanics for these types of fights such as 1 v 2 and 1 v 3.

You can actually block an outside attack while locked on to another target. You have to flick the right stick in the direction of the attack. The rage status bar fills up incredibly fast when you have 3 attacking you. There must be a multiplier based on how many people you are fighting.

Once rage is active it forces opponents in close proximity onto the ground. You really need to be a big character to pull it off. Get your back into a corner where they cannot get behind you. Most of the attacks in these situations are overhead attacks because side attacks hit their own guys who are attacking also. A few blocks and rage is active.

It is incredibly tough but it can be done. The bigger characters have a better chance of surviving.

I play as the small Samurai so if I see 3 enemies I take them on a run into my guys.

Is there friendly fire in this? Sounds brilliant either way, but i always prefer when people need to be careful with their attacks.

There sure is. I took a good few hits over the weekend from a team mates battle axe.

One of my last games of 'For Honor' last night, 2 v 2. It was a good ole fight to the death.

The closed beta is out on January 26th on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

"Closed beta" two weeks before the games actual release. It's pretty much a demo of the final game but calling it a closed beta they can control who gets it and not just release it to the masses. Otherwise the game looks great! Already signed up to try it out

It is most certainly the demo however the beta is no doubt there to test server load. The closed alpha was better than most demos afew months ago

After watching the video i thought how cool it was. Like a separate game mode where you fight as a member of your chosen faction against a team of the opposing faction, and win % counts towards conquering the map. Nope

Instead you pick a faction and when you win games in any game mode as any Warrior you earn points for your faction. And when it says cross platform play it just means to score tally for each faction is from all platforms, not that you will actually be playing against people cross platform.

What a total nonevent and a waste of what could have been a really ****ing awesome game mode

Its a bit odd also that I can play as a Samurai and still select to pledge my allegiance to the Vikings and tally up points for them

Its all a bit up in the air the moment with more info needed. If its like Rainbow 6 they will take the feedback and board and possibly do something better with it.

I filled in the survey (tip filling in those surveys with actual content gets you on all beta from ubi).

My main gripe was there was a number of cheap kills akin to button mashing, interested to see if thats changed.

Will probably buy it.

I also took the time to fill in the in depth feedback survey after the alpha. First time I have ever done that. I think the game will be huge success. Its very much flying under the radar at the moment.

The only issues I noticed was the connection which in the alpha was player hosted. I assume they'll be using the same servers as Rainbow 6 when the beta begins or at launch.

Just got the invite to the closed beta.

could be in your spam folder

Got my invite tonight for the Beta. Downloading her now

Damn, nothing in my inbox. If anyone can invite extras for PC pop me a message please.

Uplay name?

Anyone who got the email today got 3 invites.

I didn't get an invite and i'd love one if anyone has any to spare. Uplay is Quetz84 on PC, if that matters...

I have a ps4 code if anyone wants it
