Escape from Tarkov

[video=youtube_share;8ap87Hu20mc]https://youtu.be/8ap87Hu20mc[/video]

For those wondering how the game is now.
This is the new map.

One of my favorite Escape from Tarkov content creators as well. Worth watching.
 
Anyone else playing Beta?
Game is great, but really benefits from playing with other players.
 
Looks great but not keen on pre-ordering just to get beta access
 
I'm seriously considering buying this as I've been eyeing it out since it was originally mentioned.
How casual is the gameplay?
I've had to stop playing CSGO recently because my baby wakes up mid game and I keep getting cooldowns so I'm looking for something I can jump into and jump out of as I see fit.

How's the lag ... Really tempted at buying the game but worried that SA interwebs will ruin it and it aint cheap
 
Has anyone else experienced constant dropped connections? I haven't had a single round yet.

I haven't played in a while (Been waiting for the new update).
Was perfectly fine the last time I played, I didn't notice lag/latency issues. That said I know during peak hours the servers get hammered so you may have issues then.
 
Has the game been released?

Nvm, I see closed beta has launched

Hey guys

A big patch hit EFT on Friday evening, including a wipe, so everyone will be on the same level starting out. If anyone is interested in this game, I will be streaming some gameplay tonight at 19:00, so feel free to have a look and ask any questions.

Damn this game is addicting...
Our squad of gamer buddies bought EFT about a month ago, and is our main game since.

Can highly recommend it. (Keep in mind it's still in beta)
 
They actually had abit of a discount over black friday, think it was down to like $35 or something - might have to join up with you guys when my PC is up and running again for so factory hatchet action :p
 
Is this that game where you "jump" into a game with just a knife, grab some loot and then extract with said loot? Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.....and then when you have TOO MUCH LOOT, you "jump" into a game with a pistol and....grab some loot and then extract, rinse and repeat, rinse and MAYBE shoot someone or engage in a battle and repeat?

If im not mistaken, I read about this over on OCN. The feeling I got was that as soon as you get something good like AK74 or heavy armour, you "store" it, never USE it, cause if you die you lose everything. And new comers HAVE to do the loot and run tactics cause everyone that has been playing has such good gear that you cant do anything in a gun fight cause well they "spawn" with all that great loot they have been collecting and storing for the last few months.

I could be thinking about another game, but im pretty sure is this game.

YUP. Bloody nice game. And it will be free to play over new years if you register now. So you can test it out.

Sounds about right if you are a pussy. Once you shake of the noobness then you go in with gear and then that is when the action really starts. Play it smart and you have way too much fun.
 
If you really wanna see what the game CAN be like - watch a few of Kotton's videos. He makes it look ALOT easier than it actually is. This is like the Dark Souls III of FPS games.

New Year Holiday Event and the Load Testing

Today, we kick off the load testing of the Escape from Tarkov game servers before the official start of the Open Beta testing at the beginning of 2018.

Moreover, we announce the start of the New Year holiday event, which will allow the game to be purchased with a 25% discount during the week, and some of the subscribers of the game website will receive a free 7-day access to the game (eligible for activation during the event, until January 4). A full description of the event, participation requirements and instructions for redeeming the gift can be found on the project website in the news section https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/90?lang=en

At this point, users purchasing any game package get access to the Beta testing and can start playing immediately after purchase.

Please be advised that during the event and load testing the game servers may underperform in certain ways, e.g. matching wait time can be longer than usual, and other issues may occur as well. Thank you for understanding.
 
If anyone is on the fence about EFT and would like to test it out first, here are some codes from the new years event. Enjoy :)

7-day free access codes:

VRP78-83DHV-7X8XC-CU25U

*valid for activation until 4 January 2018

Grabbed thefirst one. Busy downloading
 
So i played the Beta for about 40 minutes.

Now i don't get the hype. Feels like a cross between miscreated and pubg. Nothing new, no wow gameplay or even graphics. Will play for the next few days and see if i begin to enjoy it more.
