Guesing all the keys have gone out now. Just reading that some people got a key without preordering or any MoH just that they were in the Alpha. Was hoping for the same but inbox is empty. Oh well got a couple of busy days anyways can wait till Thursday

Nope... still waiting on my key from my Origin Pre-Order

Can't join join any servers always full.

Yeah, also there was a tweet (lol) from DICE dev saying quick match is getting updated/fixed/tweaked so they recommend using browser but yep all full hahaha!

Great. I spend 40 quid so I can play the beta early and I don't even get a key... All the keys have now been sent out according to the twitter feed...

It is as if they are using less servers than the alpha.

I counted approx 15-170 servers in the browser.

Grrrr can't play not being able to see names above my team

Angst · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:32

Haha just got an email from "battlefield" with early access code saying thankyou for pre ordering when i havent.

Finally had a game.

First off it looks quality but it feels sluggish. Guess it's just something I have to get used to.

Also it keeps popping into windowed mode in the menu which is very annoying. And the map is annoying cos campers always kill you

Lol. was the alpha chock-a-block at launch?. Mind you, DICE did say this beta is a client software test, i would give some feedback if only i could get on a server and actually test, fun stuff though and browser is nice and fast.

gazzab · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:39

Well I've played a few rounds... I hate it

The controls feel sloppy, it's impossible to aim accurately, every shot from the enemy seems to be a 1 or 2 hit kill, the levels are too dark/people don't stand out nearly enough, there are some serious dud textures about... very much like Crysis 2 graphics wise.

I'm not sure I'll even bother buying it tbh

Got the latest drivers for your GPU? I was getting 30fps before installing the new AMD drivers. Now smooth with 80fps.

Neil79 · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:39

Na never had any issues launching the alpha or large queues, just the odd problem in game

If I don't get my key I'll just get a refund from Origin and order from Amazon, it's £10 cheaper and you get an actual physical product. Load of BS this is.

Colasanto · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:39

Yep just popped from 10th in queue to 58th in queue.

SHAFTED isit?

WingZero30 · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:40

For those of you, who tried ultra setting, how did it affect your rigs?

gizmoy2k · 27 Sep 2011 at 17:41

Its only gonna get worse from here on in, i can see the whole thing falling over tonight, remember the endless problems with bc2 on release

Shame most people will complain about the beta purely because of the amount on people out there determined to ruin it by camping and exploiting the terrible map

We all know this game will be best played in teams talking and on server such as those based here and TFU etc.
