I have access too and it looks like online matchmaking is not optional in this one. It’s going to be a hard pass from me especially when randos can’t get past the first mission on the easiest difficulty.
Also the gunplay is not great, the iron sights feel awful to use especially.
You can ready up the second you get into an empty lobby, but I don’t see any way to just simply choose single player.
That means that if their matchmaking system is down, you don’t get to play. And funny enough, their matchmaking system was down all night last night.
My overall largest gripe though is that in PD2, I love how if you are accurate with headshots, helmets pop with a single tap and you can just mow through 30 cops in seconds. In PD3, its taking me 2 to 5 headshots after the first wave. On the easiest setting.
Just got access to the beta and I gotta say, I was hyped and now I’m not so sure.
I like the vaulting. The weapons feel a bit crisper.
The new skill system seems weird. The cops are now bullet sponges.
Beyond that, I don’t see a major difference. Certainly not enough for me to leave behind my 200 bucks worth of DLC in PD2.

Ya, there is zero local play. 100% drm.
You have to play on their servers.
