Did anyone happen to play the 'server slam' open beta at the weekend?

Managed to get a couple of hours last night before it closed and was pleasantly surprised. Felt like a hybrid of The Division meets Vigor. Mainly geared around looting and extraction with a strong PVP/PVE focus. UR5 engine being put to great use, looking good on Xbox Series X. Didn't check what the performance settings were defaulting to, but the environment was very immersive!

Interested in others' thoughts and whether there will be any PH players online at the point of release? It'd be nice to find a couple of people to team up with.

I'll be playing when it goes live. Even if I don't end up falling in love with it, it looks like it could provide some good laughs.

Will have to look out for you then - would be good to get some games in with others. Doesn't seem there's a lot of love for it as yet, but equally, a number of sources are bashing the lack of advertising around it so perhaps it will take some time to warm up.

I'm not really into extraction shooters, but I have to say I really enjoyed the test over the weekend. The graphics are fantastic as is the sound design. The ARC are a genuine threat and the PvP element is always there in the back ground waiting to betray you.

I mainly play solos, but do fancy teaming up to to take down the queen.
