5970 is borked mate, causing endless problems since i purchased it, and pretty much everyones 5970 in the beta is causing performance problems, hence why my 5870 could run it all on max, except i had to use 2xAA instead of 4xAA, the 5970 couldn't even hack that, i had to turn all AA off and put everything on high.

I too had issues with this card, and drivers. What does help is if you buy extra thermal pads for the VRM's as they tend to overheat due to poor contact.

When you unlock smoke grenades it makes the first stage a lot better to attack, just be ready for face to face combat lol.

Also use the wall-e bot as it can sneak past the front line and most guys don't even bother to shoot the dam thing lol.

The main thing I do see that the attacking team is doing wrong is when they are attacking they hide in one spot to stay alive longer hoping for area to be clear before moving up. (only way it's going to get clear if you move your *** and get stuck in the action :)

Keep up the pressure on the enemy and keep pushing forward even if it means you die a few extra times but if you don't attack the enemy will box us in :(

(Short version keep moving tactically to the mcom)

Agree with this. My issue is snipers in my squad. Last night I managed to get in with my clan (who play for the objectives) and it's so much better. As Ghost said, just keeping pushing up. Once you are close enough then you can make a run for the bomb. Prone is great for movng forward while you are under heavy fire. Use the bushes while attacking to move up.

It's bugged to hell and back.

I set Key Strokes to mouse buttons on my RAT7. It did not work.

I had to do a macro to do a Keystroke Down > DELAY of at least ~0,6Seconds > Keystroke Up.

It would NOT register the binding unless there was some delay in the keystroke up registering.

No Delay = No worky. For me anyway. Maybe it's some ancient anti cheat measure to stop people spamming keystrokes at silly speeds?

Top stuff - this works for me too with the Razer software on my Lachesis

Using a "macro" on its own won't work at all but press, insert delay, release does !!

Thanks :D

you officially are loved. Confirmed working on Lachesis, have an internet.
 
You guys are hardcore.

I've had access since the Alpha and probably played around 3hrs in total.

There's only so much Rush on Op Metro I can take.
 
Is there going to be a benchmark / timedemo for checking FPS with the release. One would be useful to check speeds betweek high/ultra and different resolutions and settings
 
it's a beta... IT'S A BETA... IT'S A BETA...IT'S A BETA

All these "issues" were having are because it's a BETA. Simple as that. When the final release comes out its only then benchmarks will really matter. That link to the BETA performance benchmarks is pointless. It's like having a Zonda going round a race track with only 3/4 of an engine.
 
Waiting for my incoming ban now got onto that Caspian Border event server with the password trick played it for 20 mins then decided i quite like my account.

16v16 CB feels a little empty but still it felt right. :D

It's not actually kola, the main honcho even said it was to test the server back end.

Not give you a preview of the game.

It's a BETA, why would EA advertise it as a BETA then? I've never played a Demo of any game that had this amount of bugs in it. I read somewhere the bugs had already been fixed and they still released this BETA as it is so I think your right in saying its purely to test the server side of things.
 
I've done about 7h (Including the Alpha, I had a lot of stuff going on). I'm enjoying it, but I just had a hell of a game but DC'ed but for some reason my points haven't counted?
