I've only got a few hours into it so far (PC), but I'm really enjoying it. They seem to have done the PC version justice, with all the typical video options you would expect with a PC title. I have a fairly old rig (GTX760), and am only running medium settings at 1080p, but the game still looks great and runs buttery smooth so far. I'm sure I could bump up my setting a bit at the expense of frame-rate but I honestly think it looks great as is. My only complaint is that I wish I had more space on my SSD so the load times could shorten up.

I've bought it for both Xbox One and PC, and now played the beta for both. While I most certainly will end up on Xbox because of my friends that play it, holy itshay they moved it to the PC so well.

This. I've only got a few hours into it so far and I am playing on a higher end rig, but I'm actually a little blown away at how well its running. Usually the first few days of any new PC game has some weird glitches/interface issues. Maybe I'm just accustomed to new games being released well before they should be, but this one has actually been polished and is a ton of fun.

Same here, played the itshay out of the first one, and I'm really impressed with 2 so far. My controller didn't want to connect to my computer, but even playing with a mouse and keyboard was fantastic and way better than I expected. And it does look wicked on PC, even on a mid range rig.

Even a knuckle dragger like me knows how to use a mouse and keyboard.

Played on PC with the wife yesterday. Both got up to around level 9 before calling it quits. It is cheating a bit, because I've already done this 3 times over, and she's perfectly happy to skip all the cut scenes.

I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

Got to Level 7 last night.. I'd say it's already been worth the $, I've enjoyed it from the few hours I played.

All graphics are on high except shadows are on low, running 55-60 fps on my older GTX 960 2GB.

The sci-fi visuals / graphics are amazing.  :-*

Glad you're enjoying it. It is such a fun game!

I just finished the campaign last night and am now at Level 20, 208. I am having trouble finding capable people to do strikes with. I keep getting stuck with these kids that have no idea what they are doing and then we fail 3/4 of the way in.

For those who play on Xbox One add me as I need friends to play with!! My gamertag has changed from "I RANG GANG I" to "Dangle Daddy 69" (it's a joke name to go along with our NHL 18 club team). In the word "Dangle" the L is actually a capital I as someone already had the gamertag Dangle Daddy 69...

Oh no, I ended up keeping the gaming PC! I knew I would regret selling it haha. Plus I bought the new GoPro 6 so I needed it for editing.

I just still prefer gaming on my Xbox over the PC. Maybe I will pick it up on PC too and just use an Xbox controller.

I feel like this would be a very difficult game to play competitively on PC using a controller. Without having any aim assist, controllers are really tricky to be quick/accurate with.   

Also my battletag is Dionysus#1544

Tried playing it yesterday but it crashes every time before the game even launches. Updated drivers and everything but still doesn't work. Just asked for a refund so maybe I'll just wait until it's fixed before I buy again. Sucks because I was really looking forward to playing last night.

Try a complete un-install / re-install?  Maybe an install file didn't end up where it should be? Cuz that's very odd, worked exceptionally well for me and I was expecting it to be bad because of release date and such.

Then how do you do the weekly for powerful gear. No wonder you're not 305 yet #getonmylevel

I'll have to look into that and see. Maybe I'll try purchasing again and reinstalling when I get home as suggested by kijho.
