Yeah, just the standard Origin client. I downloaded this new EA client yesterday (Just called 'EA') as that's what I thought I had to use, but doesn't seem to work through that. So if you are having problems on one, it might be worth trying on the other. (it found my download in both clients, so I did not need to re-download the game again)

It will be yes
I can get into the game menu... just can't join any servers.
I am a EA pro subscriber via origin.

Loaded me in straight away, keep trying.
Maybe I've grown out of battlefield but played a couple of rounds and this feels like a weird mix of COD fast paced movement with mix and match loadouts. Medics carry Sniper Rifles and RPG's etc...it's bizarre. Fair enough for those that enjoy it but I don't think it's for me, I stuck through BF1 and gave BFV a fair shake despite it being rather terrible but I really don't understand what Dice have gone for here (probably trying to capture the warzone crowd).
Also parachuting vehicles into your spot and instant deploy add to the arcade feeling.

Have been, seem to get a loading screen and countdown from 10 when joining a game then just pops up with unknown error.
Had 1 quick round and my initial thoughts
- Graphically it looked really nice. I did put everything up on ultra to see how my system would handle it so no doubt there is some performance to be gained with changing settings and a driver update from nvidia. My only complaint is that it's perhaps a little too colourful and everything appears a bit over saturated
- I haven't properly played a BF game in a while, only managed to get 100 hours out of BF5 before getting bored. Did dabble in returns to BF4 a few months ago but I need to get back into the swing of how to play
- The map is too large. Even with 128 players, it felt like a lot of running between points to see any action. Again this could be used to me playing a lot of Modern Warfare and Splitgate recently
- I really like how you can change gun attachments on the fly, reminded me of Crysis and something I always thought was nice.
- Going back to my first point about performance, seems OK. Maybe I sometimes expect a bit too much from my PC but I was floating between 60-80fps depending where I was and what was going on. I did see the occasional dip down to 55 but with GSync it wasn't too noticeable. That was with everything set to Ultra at 3840x1600 with an i7 9700k, 16GB RAM and a RTX 3090.
After 30 minutes I'm not 100% sold it's worth £50 just yet but I'll get a lot more games in over the weekend and see if it grows on me with time.
