Suddenly I'm annoyed that I didn't pre-order until yesterday, lol. No code for me. ;-; I should have just submitted to the will of the Battlefield gods and pre-ordered a long time ago.

**kuronosan** · 2011-09-27 10:44

I pre ordered on time, but wasn't aware you didn't get an early invite unless it was on origin until recently.

**Arkanna** · 2011-09-27 10:50

Yeah Origin was sort of my hangup, I don't care for it at all but I caved since Origin will be required to play the PC version at all, regardless of where you ordered it from.

The bad
-Battlelog is a good idea, but their implementation blows.
-If you go through Matchmaking, the server might be full and your game will just be a black screen, shit won't even detect you're never going to get a slot
-Sort of related to 1, can't do your key bindings/settings out of a match.
-Unable to bind mouse buttons.......
-Menus aren't exactly mouse friendly.
-I'm unable to switch to full screen, I can change the resolution but it gets stuck to a 720p window.
-The general sound ambiance is way too calm for a Battlefield, at least that's how I felt, didn't exactly help the only map available is a non-vehicle one.
-End of round screen takes forevar.
-Sniper scopes are too noticeable imo I seriously thought the soldiers had helmet-mounted flashlights at first.

Performance with a MSI GTX470 :
1080p : 40-45 fps, stable on High (unplayable for me) 35-40 on Ultra (even worse but it looks incredibly amazing)
720p : 60+ fps on High, 50~ on Ultra

Looks like I'm due for a new graphic card!

**kuronosan** · 2011-09-27 12:43

It's a fucking beta.

Good reporting, though. I love the shots.

I know it is, just pointing out the obvious flaws that I hope will be fixed. I'm loving the game so far, I just wish I could fullscreen because it's killing the immersion for me.

Can shoot through some rocks, lulz. I played the shit out of BFBC2 beta, so nostalgic.

Didn't FF14 teach you anything?!

No but seriously, those screenshots look amazing. Do want.

**Boyiee** · 2011-09-27 15:11

70%, can't wait to turn this game on ultra @2560x1600

might pee myself

**Boyiee** · 2011-09-27 15:42

Ok I'm having like 0 of the issues sruon said.

if server is full, it tells me, no black screen, try for a new server.
I can't bind directly to mouse either, but there are ways around that (make mouse commands keypresses)
Menus are mouse friendly for me.
I'm running fullscreen, 2560x1600 at ultra, no issues. Have you guys tried hitting alt+enter? lol
The only issue I have with fullscreen is it cut off my map/ammo, and I had to adjust my screen in options which is weird.
End of round wasn't that long, not any longer than BC2 really, but I'm running on an SSD.
