Well it was a fantastic beta if you ask me. I had performance issues at the start but then they released the patch and my game was fine. Highlights for me:
  • Team work and more team work: Without a doubt DICE have listened and created a system (stats, squad commander) which promotes teamwork.
  • Sounds, especially the weapons are fantastic. I remember hearing an RPG flying over my head which was particularly memorable!
  • Hit detection / gunplay: They have definitely made improvements to the game in this area, what I'm worried about is regarding if these improvements will be retracted on release. I seem to remember this was the case in the BF3 beta.
  • Levolution: I must be one of the few that enjoys when C transforms into rubble.
  • Vehicles: I love the load time and also improvements in the damage system. Also the boats are loads of fun while also being balanced around LOS. Get caught out and you're history.
Only a few weeks to go until the full release.

This is EA, everything gets tweaked between beta and full release :D

Hopefully they get it right this time, I've particularly noticed better hitreg compared to 3 but we all know what happened between BF3 beta and release.

one of the few reasons a couple of my mates wont buy it . they say you know EA/Dice with bf they get it right in testing then change everything for the worse:p hoping this isn't the case as its been fun and great in the beta by enlarge.

Hey buddy :P

I've come away from the beta a bit suspect tbh. Really not sold on the inf/gun play. Just seems so sluggish and the recoil is low. Combined with a heavy dose of aim assist seems very casual friendly to me. Big fan of a lot of the other changes they've made but it's a shooter at the end of the day, if the gun play sucks, there's no point.

Yup it turned out to be a really good beta, i have almost done half the played time i put into BF3 in just the beta.

So suffice to say i'll be playing it more as after BF2/BC2 i liked BF3 but felt it wasn't as good. I'd say this is better than BF3 and more like previous games but with new bits.
 
Been playing the beta for the last few days and cant say I agrre with the majority who say the hit reg is good.

Using the DMR's with an ACOG the hit reg was abysmal.

In BF3 I have no issues whatsoever with the hit reg but during this beta I have to say that even when the scope is on the target at about 10m hits were not registering correctly.

I have also seen stonewall headshots that have done zero damage.
 
It wasn't so much the questionable hit-reg for me but more how generic and light every weapon felt. I did enjoy the beta but I still long for the weapons and sounds effects from Medal Of Honor 2010 to make it into battlefield.

Wonder how many will be taking a few days holiday to the US on the 29th Oct :p

The DMR is god damn awful. Like really, really bad. Even more so with the ACOG, there was something seriously wrong with it, I couldn't use it at all either. Did slightly better with the canted iron sights, but it was still bad.

Hit reg using the ak5c was awesome in comparison.
 
Hopefully they can sort out DMR' s before release.
It almost felt like there was recoil before the initial shot.

As for the sound in the game.
They should go back to BC2's sound designer and get him to do the FX.

It would blow BF3 and BF4 out of the water.
You could tell who was near just from the distinctive weapon noises.

In BF3 and BF4 all the weapons sound much the same and feel very samey apart from the rate of fire.
 
Why have they stopped the open beta, if it dosnt get released for another 2 weeks ?

or is it because they need to do a lot of fixing/updating to the game ?
 
Just tried to have a game of BF3. It feels so slow in comparison. I just can't get back into it after playing the BF4 Beta.

In fact, I may well uninstall it. I just don't see myself playing it over the next 2 weeks but especially when BF4 comes out.

the build we was playing was old. some EA guy told me it was pre e3 build :eek:

so the game will have had probably 7 or eight probably big patches since that build maybe more.

they shut the beta down because you build the tension the hype the longing to play to sell more.
