Just me feelings:

A few things annoy me as well, although might be changed with unlocks or changes and some personal preference.

Posting thoughts in here wont change anything (although nice to read them), so make sure u get them on EA's forum too

What a stunningly beautiful game at ultra settings!

Has anyone else come across the "Blue Screen of blurry effects" bug yet?

Like the blue effect on the screen when you're watching someone and waiting to be dispatched remains on the screen when you spawn. Which makes it very hard to see/kill anything

You just hit Escape and it fixes that.

They may have slugs attached to their shotgun, increases range incase you didn't know.

It was me doing the shooting.

Sick of the crashing, when it works its such a fantastic game and runs fantastic and then it just crashes for no reason what so ever and totally randomly

this is a bug with the option menu.

if you press esc when you watch kill cam it wont load the menu but gives you the blue effect. pressing iut again will open the menu getting rid of the blue pressing again to close then brings your colours back.

Put V-Sync on.

BC2 doesn't stutter with V-Sync on.

Do FPS go down or up on Caspain map compaired with Metro? Which is the more stressful on hardware

Running a 5970 + 5870 here and it's stuttering all over the place, I have very high frames 90-170 but the stuttering is killing it.

I have issues on my 5970 dropping down to 20FPS in places then jumping back up, is this your problem? I think its something to do with crossfire

ON my 5770 I have most things on high and get ~30fps on metro and drops to 25 on caspian will need to tweak settings if i play that map again but metro is supprisingly fluid at 30fps even in lots of smoke only drops to 27ish will probably drop a few settings down.
my 1055T isnt taxed at all, all cores are used at about 60%

In the games I've played so far I've found you should expect around 5FPS less on CB compared to Metro

Lol the range on buckshot shotguns is insane.

Oh God, is it? I was hoping we wouldn't see a return of super range ultrashotguns from BC2

Brookert · 30 Sep 2011 at 08:53

WTF!! 88% d/l, then jumps to 100%, Now down to 33%!!!!!!! FML

Had it running pretty smooth last night. Just hope this isn't a representation on the development stage they are at this close to release.

We have distributed a server side update with the following changes:

- Terrain destruction disabled, because it causes problems with people crawling around under the map. We have a proper fix for this in the retail game, but chose to simply disable it for the OB

- Preround is fully activated: 8 players required to transition from preround to in-game; when 8 players are reached, the start-timer is set to 10 seconds

- Fixes for the most common game server crashes reported over the past 48 hours

- Fixes for end-of-round progress reporting to Battlelog (so players will see their progress more detailed on Battlelog)

The Server Providers have been instructed to deploy before Fri Sep 30th, 0800 UTC (when it impacts players the least).

Downtime should be minimal.

Going to get a lot of whine over that lack of destruction.

Lol i'm requesting an EA ID change for the 3rd time. I can see this going wrong at some point. But they'll hopefully learn not to be so retarded with the soldier name in the next series of games.

Skepticx · 30 Sep 2011 at 09:03

Anyone have a rough idea on how long it takes to get to level 50? and if any mad person has done it yet ?

Yaayuh! · 30 Sep 2011 at 09:08

I saw a couple in high 30s and low 40s last night. However, could've been playing non-stop and picking off noobs or hacking, who knows!
