I've played through the beta as well. I'm not sure wether or not we have five or two missions, because so far, playing it in solo only gave me two missions ( without counting the tutorial ). I'm glad to see the sound team leader from AC5 is back from this one ( Keiki Kobayashi or something ), and the music kicks ass, at least in their selection. Gameplay wise, the scheme is identical to Ace Combat 6, actually. We don't have wingman controls, but in return we have the emergency High-G manoevers from AC6.

I was surprised to see that we had General Resources Limited and Neucom Inc. emblems available to paint our planes with. Good to know. While the menus are entirely in japanese, the subtitles are available in english, and even french.... Though I spotted a case where the translation guy missed one line and we had about ten words in english in the middle of a french sentence.

Seeing how the Ulysses disaster unfolded differently from AC04/Strangereal, and that everything was stronger ( Stonehenge just like the asteroids themselves ), we're in for some heavy action.
Also, I didn't like at all Omega's picture. He looked too much like a "yeah man bro" guy. Viper's profile picture on the other hand, in the briefings, looked badass.

There's reasons to believe they worked on this game for a very long time.

Yeah only a couple solo missions, online is their main focus with 2 selectable missions, and a 3rd secret missions. I like the random events that pop up, at lest 10 differnt senarios (Counting the differnt ace units). They seem to have hit a snag with the 1.01 update...server problems and will be unplayable till like...sunday

Confirmed, beta has been postponed till "The start of next week." Not sure if it still ends on the 13th or if it delays the full launch/ US Beta

Ahhh, cool.

Will there be an EU Beta as well?

I think so, probably around the same time as the US

Ah, okay. I'd like to use my main.account and not to make a US one just for the Beta :P

lol I know the feeling. they are having issues right now the non jp betas may or may not be delayed. But the EU bandai YT does have Infinity videos so its highly likely it will be out sooner or later
