BC2 BETA... Your thoughts and SCREENSHOTS of it
- Thread starter [TFU] Thegoon84

Are they? What makes them so? I have had some cracking games on here? Seems to me the real truth is, it is totally random whether you get good players, no <3's and a well balanced good game. Can not anyone, join any server, at the moment?
Also how come most of the servers are French and only a handful of U.K. ones? Or am I being a total <3 and FRA doesn't even stand for France?
The clunkiness I feel if I put the settings too high, lower them and as I have said it is as smooth as any other fps. The warping is obvious lag issue's which I have not experienced since the first day and one other time since and last but not least with your soldier getting stuck on random objects throughout the world; maybe you are just trying to squeeze through gaps that are too small, that or your soldier is too fat.

You sniped me twice last night!
Still loving this game, bloom off and in dx9 keeps the lag at minimum. Guess ill need to upgrade to play smoothly.

Hmmm, good point. It does seem worse since I upped the settings. I'll drop it all back down to medium tonight and seem if that resolves it.
My machine definitely needs a cleanup, or an upgrade ideally! I just can't justify upgrading for one game though.
Does anyone else hate the map?
It's so dull, and it feels so linear (I know it has to be to some extent for the game mode). It will become like Gulf of Oman I expect, which I HATED playing on retail BF2 having whored it in the BF2 demo for however long that was out for.
I must admit getting stuck on objects does get really frustrating. Especially tree's... half an inch thick ones that get in your way constantly. But tbh nothing is more annoying than keypad locks... seriously i've fallen off buildings and walked in front of tanks/snipers and countless other things to **** me off because 1 of my movements keys locked. I did think it was just my keyboard at first but its happening WAY too much to be that.
Yeah they do seem to have... on 1 game (when i racked up about 10-15 headshots on the final 2 MCOM defences) it seemed if i aimed directly at them then it'd headshot but any higher and it'd go over. But Docks-Pipe i must've aimed all over the place, above his head, at it, below it, watched the bullet travel by holding trigger, watched it miss, watched it go straight through him. It just wouldn't connect while either of us were moving. In the end i got sick of it and stood in view typing and he landed 2 shots, but moving targets just couldn't be hit.

Personally although I played MW2 a lot, I think the demo alone is better. This will be truly epic

I did?
You can try and add Evilsod. Its so hit n miss though. I've got 2 names in my list so far (neither of which ever appear as online, but you can still join them through it if they are) and countless other attempts to add people or accept requests that haven't worked.
The only other alternative is to try and get lucky with the browser/server tab. I did manage to join a game with people on vent after finding out how many were on the server and joining that game, but i think that was a fluke.

Sometimes when I spawn, I cannot move. Once I suicide or am killed though, it works fine. Sucks that I can't replicate it to do a bug report.
I think its something to do with your keys getting caught out of game or something weird. I've had it happen to me and spamming alt-tab, esc and random other stuff normally works eventually.
On a side note, these unranked servers are getting annoying.

Anyone used Motor Strike while sat slighty in a bush/tree and you manage to bring it down on yourself some how it really is an Epic fail
Gave up playing this weekend. Sticky keys was the first thing, then getting dropped from servers despite having a rock solid internet connection, then in game, repeating sounds and everyone else but me has stopped moving then bam, crash to desktop or back to game menu.
I hope they fix this before release or a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

There was something odd with that last night too. I had it flash up that I had unlocked a new scope and a new launcher but when I went to equip them, they weren't available. After the match when it showed me my weapon progress, I didn't have enough points yet even though I did get points for the match.
One thing does make me happy though. With MW2, I think it would be a great game with some changes however, we know those changes won't happen. At least DICE seems to want to make a good game so I think with a bit of time to fix problems and make adjustments, I'll be quite happy with BC2.

I haven't had this but a mate has this as his biggest issue with the game. Mine is without doubt load times between games. 1st stage of new map is well underway before I even load into the game. I have always had this problem with the Battlefield games and often wondered if it was to do with my game being installed on my RAID rather than one of the unraided drives. Not sure though but it drives me mad.
