ok so after having ago last night i saw that the gameplay is very good but tbh it feels more like another bad company game rather than the true battlefield we all have come to love.

im also experiences some low frame rates now i know it not going to be the best as its in alpha testing but i was wondering does anyone know if the game has abit of problems running on i7 manchines and someone told me this but i dont know it its fully true or not.

i7 920 here and runs butter smooth, I have hyperthreading disabled so just the 4 cores on the go. CPU is at 4GHZ, if yours is at stock that's maybe why I'm getting smoother performance.

I have to admit when first playing it, I was not very impressed, but after a few days I'm really, really liking it now.

I dont see the point in allowing people to alpha test. Its bound to have tons of bugs the dice team can fix themselfs.

I think it's worth pointing out that none of this Alpha-Testing is actually about testing the game. It's about testing the multiplayer, making sure we don't have the same issues as BC2 where the server browser stressed the EA servers causing it to keep crashing out. That's why they have been gradually increasing the invites to scale up the demand on the system.

As far as I can see this Alpha is basically the playable code from the E3 playable demo, the game has probably moved on by 3 or 4 months since this version we're playing.
