Considering so many people play as assault, I'm actually shocked at how little I get revived!

Probably because unless they try and revive as soon as they've died it doesn't work. I've tried to revive loads if people and unless they've died in front of me it doesn't work most of the time, even if you try repeatedly.

I can confirm that disabling UPnP on my router solved my connection issues. I'd only last a few minutes in a server before getting kicked off.

Is the full version likely to be more optimized?
Click to expand...

Personally id say no. Like pretty much every game ive played in the past 3 years has had a big "1 month after"r patch to fix all the crap. I cant see this being any different.
 
is there a way to change the FOV ingame or are we stuck with it for the beta ?


*** apparantly - right click on PROF_SAVE_body, open with notepad in the documents folder ***

about to test it

Not sure if im liking it or not, (metro) spawn, die, spawn, die again.. not too keen on the front end.

Only managed one half game on caspian, and it was a US server so very laggy but it seemed better (more like bf2)

Needs a better mini map, proper squads. may try a few more games, but more than likely will wait for full game.
 
I got into caspian! It was huge, felt very Battlefield. Sadly, I've had to lower my settings (in general not just for the map, performance seemed comparable to OpMetro) to get a good playable experience so it looked all jaggy :( Then I got disconnected! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Stats are now tracked live, so you shouldnt lose any stats. you might lose the opportunity to get some like #1 in server, win rush, top squad etc. but you wont lose your kills or owt like that from what i understand.

That's what I thought, but it definitely didn't keep what I got in that game. I unlocked the ACOG but after the disconnect I didn't have it anymore and had to unlock it again, and I lost the dog tag I got for stabbing someone.
 
I thought they were going to fix the limit on the squads?

Not sure if the following issues are just beta only.

Squad are only limited to 4 players this clearly isn't enough.
Can create or join a squad with friends.
 
I'm getting the flashing thing too, also I feel a bit let down because the graphics. I was expecting to be totally amazed with frostbite 2 .I thought it was going to be twice as good as the first version for some reason.BC2 looks a lot better than BF3 but it’s still early days and it needs a lot more work .I’m hoping that in time as they work on it and update/patch it, it will start to live up to my expectations.

@point54 I was getting the same flashing. After messing with settings by fluke the flashing has now gone.

I think the graphics have taken a step back from BC2 personally. Even on ultra the graphics seem more cartoony to me.

So once again, I fixed the HUD by adjusting the Open Screen setting and did one round in Metro map.

Specs the same as in one of my previous posts, resolution set to 2560x1440, graphics to High - so pretty much maxed out afaik but with no forced AA - just the post-processing effect (works well enough at this resolution).

Fps kept steady at 32-42 and went down to 28-33 in the last part of the map.

Pretty crap TBF, I will try and reduce the motion blur as it's on the edge of being playable now.

Would be fine for a single-player game though.
 
I love how people say my card runs this at Ultra settings smooth when Ultra settings are not actually in Beta.

High is the only setting that works.

Ultra is choosable but disabled... you can see this most noticabley on thr sand bags on Metros.. they look like sqaure blocks.

Has that been confirmed?

Indeed. I thought this, googled it and there's a load of people saying there is no difference between High and Ultra.

What i chuckle at is the amount of complains of graphical glitches, falling through scenery and general bugs and people are 'disappointed' because of it..... its a BETA! lol! Cracks me up.

With 6% accuracy, its no wonder your getting your ass handed to you on a platter. :p
If you'd stuck around long enough to play a couple of games, rather than just running off to play on a console with the n00bs, you might actually get the chance to improve, rather than effectively just turn down the difficulty of the opposition.
