The actual interface looks much better and the games initial load time is faster. At a minimum it's what it should have been like a over year ago in ythe closed beta, with a years worth of improvement upon that in the meantime.
Still have to SHIFT-ESC to exit after crashing or dying (offline). That's still lame.
Still have a massive FPS hit when firing Spit or Hurricane guns.
Not sure if the new keymapper actually has improved functionality over the old. Appears to be more user friendly.
Not gonna really give it much of a look as it is actually a closed "open" beta. Meaning open only to current testers and existing customers. Much akin to the way iEN did WB III. Thier loss, not mine. I'll (and I imagine a lot of people) will let the "fan_BOIS" and l337 find the bugs and do the actual "work"
To be honest, I've had more fun with DoD 2.1 than I did as a grunt in WW2O during last falls Gigex trial. While WWIIOnline grunts have
appeared to have been improved graphically and in visual functionality they still look pretty horrible.
The things I do like about WWIIOnline are simply the terrain itself and the GV's can be fun.
