yes it will it's all done outside the game. it's a joke. Why didn't they improve on the BF2 squad feature? Now we have a bad MW clone
Yeah I like it too.
But the balance of the weapon is beyond stupid. If the enemy is at 20m it'll 1HK them. But at 5m it'll often take 2 shots.

I run it at high settings and my minimum fps is 38-42 (outside on Metro). I run the game at 2048x1152 so at 1920x1200 you should get slightly better performance as you have about 50,000 less pixels to render.
It's certainly playable at these settings but as with all online games if you game below 60fps then you're hindering yourself a little with graphical lag.
The settings I use are below.
Caspian Border wasn't noticeably any more taxing than Metro on my system, my fps may have been slightly lower by a few on average but overall my 5870 could keep the fps above 40.
Have you tried running everything on High with HBAO on? My fps don't dip below 38 or so so you should be nearer 45-50fps with a 1Ghz core.

There is no way this game will be fixed by the 25th,so many bugs.It will probably need 3-4 patches,hopefully it will be playable by the end of the year.
I am starting to like it more the more I play,but it doesn't look like it will be the super-awesome-FPS of the decade I was expecting.We will see.

the ump is a beast
It's overrated.
I've just unlocked the 2nd shotgun, only a 5 shell magazine.
Won't join.

Just had a frustrating bug moment, on the last section of Metro defending, chose a mobile spawn and up I pop in on of those walls with hedges, near to our spawn and oh, a whole squad infront of me. Yummy. Start spraying away with my Scar and they all drop except one, unload a few pistol shots awell and no, he just turns round, bang I'm dead. Any way, this happened three times in a row, each time I get nearly a full clip in the back of his head. I asked him what the dealio was and he said it's a bug as he had 0hp.

It's annoying that people are treating this as a demo, it's a test phase, not retail product.
It was never a showcase of their best stuff, it was to test server throughput, bugs and the like.

I've tried to post this in the battlelog forums but it's not letting me for some reason. Is it possible to appear offline in the battlelog?

The open beta build could be several weeks old, and most of the more serious bugs appear to be server side which is what they'll be sorting out now if they haven't already.
Their main concerns will probably be based on feedback over gameplay mechanics more than anything at this stage imo.

wish they would hurry up and put some hacked Caspian border servers up
Would that be possible, I mean wouldn't EA be able to take them down immediately? I hope someone manages it, only got 15mins on Caspian and it was good fun
I find the M16 the best, it seems overpowered. I'm terrible with all other weapons but with the M16 not too bad. The Russian standard machine gun with a scope is also very accurate and powerful.
