BC2 BETA... Your thoughts and SCREENSHOTS of it

Dice have said about the lag:

Remember guys its in beta!!! not full game:

DICE also wants fans to know why the Beta is taking place - this isn't just a playable demo.

"The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc...) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure," explained Gordon Van Dyke, associate producer on Bad Company 2. "This means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have."

quoted for lols

The only thing that works on my "playable demo" is viewing the main menu.
States it cannot connect to any server and to check MY connection - and the server browser crashes the game lol.
 
Got to say, this beta is a major fail, well for me anyway. Keeps crashing to desktop, keep getting kicked from servers straight away. Haven't even got into a game yet and I have been trying for the last 20 min. I know that its a beta, but very disappointed considering that this is going to be out in march, don't think all the bugs will be fixed by then :(

Yea i got that, total pain but after a few goes i managed to get a server that loaded the game up.
 
In fairness to DICE they have just said and told us more that IW have about MW2 in the past 4 months!

Texture quality has to be discounted cause its beta and not the point as explained by DICE above

Yeah im getting the same. I played for about 30 mins earlier, after lots of faffing i finally managed to get onto a game only for it to run like crap and be laggy as hell.

Just tried playing again now and when browsing it 'recieving data' or whatever it says it just dumps me back to the desktop :mad: Using the 'play now' method doesnt work as it keeps telling me its lost connection with server and to check my connection!
 
The game is looking very positive :) I've had some issues with CTD, not connecting and lag but they should all be fixed by release or very soon after. As you'd expect with a beta :) The tank turrets are also really slow to turn and take a lot of mouse movement for very little turret movement.

It looks and feels very battlefield though which is a good thing, once the little issues have been ironed out it'll be great.
 
Report problems on the EA forums. I have reported and contributed some of my own, but its madness at the mo. Once they calm down I feel I'm going to actively test what I can and put my thoughts forward. This is in fact what they are expecting. It's the first night and many online games suffer the same madness, let alone the betas. Give it 24 hours and try again IMO.

I played a lot of BF2 when it was popular and I want this game to be its successor. Looking forward to seeing what becomes of it.
 
Just got a game in and I'm actually quite encouraged. Between the lags I had some fun - I've got a lot to learn about the game but that's natural. Most impressive for me was the atmosphere - it seemed more like an episode of band of brothers, more like real warfare. I think the fog of war needs a little work, but overall it's looking good. Once the lag issues are sorted out and I get used to the game (like - where are my grenades, what happened to anti-tank?, is there a commo rose? etc), I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
 
well time to cansel my preorder for this game aswell just like i did for final fantasy 13

dantes inferno, god of war 3 and heavy rain are on the list now.
 
Thanks for the reminder, nearly forgot. Going to download tonight and give it a go over the weekend. How long is the beta for? Till the release of the game?
