Lockdown Playtest Schedule Sep 23 - 25

Welcome back testers! For this round of testing you will have a chance to play Lockdown with helpful mechanics like a kill cam and a couple of new HUD indicators showing the status of each Control Point. You will also get to play on two new maps, Furnace and Ramparts! The feedback we would like for this round of testing should focus on which of the CP HUD elements you prefer and why, as well as any feedback you have about how the new maps play. Suggestions and feedback for publicly released Lockdown content should be moved outside of this testing forum. Thank you!

Never fear! We're sensitive to players who use stealthy-captures as a tactic. The status indicators will show the same information that has always been available in the mini-map, only in a (hopefully) more accessible format.
Looks like it'll be time to foster some grudge kills.

Any possible changes to existing HUD elements? The option to hide teammate health, or at least compress it to names-only (with the KO'd skull if they're downed) would be excellent.

Any chance Kills or Deaths will make it to the scorescreen?

Looks good so far, but I've only played one game with the new stuff.
I really like how the kill came shows the stats of what you're killed with.

I can't get on via steam right now but I am excited to try this new feature out!

pls say me the german test time!!! i can't now my time

Kinda hard to get into a game since there hardly anyone playing lock-down But i have tried it once and i like the levels and the kill-cam. So far lock-down is great

i think we must get new test thinks what the original game to the time now not have :)

It's 6 Pm Game Time but it wont let me play? I was on this morning

Just checking in... has the 6-10 PM been postponed or cancelled?
A few of us waiting in ventrilo... we're eager to play some lockdown!

45 minutes past the open time... no response yet. Maybe someone forgot to hit the switch? : )

You know, these swicthes are tricky ones - they have a tendency to hide. The Preview Server is open now and since we opened one hour late we'll also leave it open one hour longer. Happy Testing!

Where did Boswick hide them THIS time?
Anyway, I'm loving the new content OOO, Furnace is a blast. Blast Furnace isn't. xD
Keep up the awesome stuff!

For some sort of reason the times it says its available, its not available, (well not for me) is there an explanation for this?

Wow almost missed this. Hopefully can get on for some sunday play.

Wepos - besides last night, where it started about an hour late, are you sure you're getting the time right? (Just in case you're not Pacific and may have done the conversion wrong.) Not to insult intelligence but just want to make sure.
The server is up now... jump on!

been playing till 4. Pretty much an awesome game, and since it said to leave a review or something, here is mine!

6pm game isn't open! Forgetting to hit the switch? ;D

Your time is off. : )
6 PM Pacific time is in 40 minutes.
=o Kill cam?!?! epic.
The control point status will ruin a couple of my tactics, and i think it might also favor strikers again (i like stealthy captures) i.e.... strikers will see the point being taken; zoom over and 2 hit me with a flourish.... I'll work around it xD
The maps sound interesting as well..... can't wait for more testing; I hope there's cake.
