is the password Rumncoke then?
This needs to go live now tbh... I am stood in the middle of an open field with my mouth open staring at jets and things flying around -- the sounds of it all going on is just crazy.
The sounds of the mounted MGs on the vehicles is so heavy it's awesome.
I hope the lag is due to this being in the US

I keep going over the 1536mb ram limit of My GPUs at 2560x1600... at 1920x1200 with everything on ULTRA I am at 1400mb with GTX 580SLI... Dropping up to 2560x1600 drops me to an horrific 20fps due to running out of ram. Same FPS with a single card too so GPU power isnt going to be an issue with this game, the RAM installed on it looks as though it will....
3072MB cards anyone?? And that doesnt include the MARS II or a GTX590 as they have 1536MB per GPU, just like my 580SLI!
Dark times...
Upgrade time me thinks...

Neil said it changed? I'll see if I can shake down those on the server for the new one
-- Just asked, few people on the server said it hasn't changed :s

So my 580 3gb should be fine then? Whats the general consensus on the game then?

Server I was on crashed -- pw no longer working
That short experience just broke rush for me... that was beyond epic
The sound of a chopper overhead blasting it's cannons at some jeep in the far distance desperately trying to get away = awesome.
The Jet crashing into the building I was hiding in the corner of whilst capping = awesome.
The parachuting in from the mobile spawns = awesome.
DICE are seriously holding out here!
One down side was that the server was lagging hard... it was based in the US so I hope that was a factor but it maybe that they're trying to fix that before letting it loose.

That first sentence really got me excited
My only worry now is how to get this hooked up to my TV so I can get the most of 42" Plasma goodness and not have to play it on console. I don't really fancy being sat on my living room floor. What do people think of the graphics? Is it looking as good in MP as we've seen in the videos? Or is it a little backed off due to not being scripted or whatever?
One of the main things that got me about the first video that came out is how good the soldiers look running, and how they move through terrain. Is this the same for MP or was that all pre-determined?

I didn't want to jinx it before it happened but it was obvious when you said that you were on the server and then that they had changed the password that you were going to crash and not be able to get back in
Unlucky mate
I thought it was difficult at first but then it got easier?

I was attacking but switched to defending near the end.

I'm definitely excited now. Honestly playing rush yesterday was like, yes, it's nice, it's an improvement but a bit meh... but conquest is so extremely different, they've completely returned it to it's former glory and then some. I guarantee when you first get on you will spend most of your first game just staring and listening to all the amazing stuff, mouth slightly dropped.
Eugh got the beta on the 360 to try it out and only played for around 30 minutes couldn't take it anymore.
Is the pc beta as glitchy as this every kill cam I had was from people under the map. The graphics aren't too bad on the 360 compared to what I saw on the alpha but I cant wait to play the PC beta tomorrow and finally test my hardware out.

Win, win, and a little more win. Downside means I'll need a new graphics card. I'm sure I can trundle along on low with my 260 for now but good games deserve good hardware.
ARGH! RAGE MODE! 
So I left mine downloading overnight on my laptop, low-power, quiet, perfect for overnight downloads.
This morning tried copying over the 'Origin Games' folder (like you used to be able to be with the previous incarnations of what is now Origin) and nothing, nada, zip!
There doesn't seem to be a simple setup.exe, and I can't seem to find another way around it.
Anyone know how to fix/workaround, before I have to re-download the entire 3.9GB again?

Blimey that's not good at all, maybe DICE will address this issue in a day one patch?. Imho the beta is not ground breaking technology graphics wise, i wonder what is eating up all the gpu ram?.I keep going over the 1536mb ram limit of My GPUs at 2560x1600... at 1920x1200 with everything on ULTRA I am at 1400mb with GTX 580SLI...

Wouldn't be surprised if it's just a run of the mill memory leak issue than the game genuinely requiring that much space.
if you want a game later add me on battlelog or anyone else dgeesio
quite a few of us on nM will be on together
