Oh it blows up? Dont think I've seen that one yet, seen it take off and the tornado (though I have only seen the tornado once in 13 hours lol) but havent seen the rocket blow up yet, I'll keep an eye out for that one

Had a quick play on this tonight. Played one round and couldn't be bothered to play another tbh, not a good sign really. Performance is pretty poor, hopefully its just the beta not being well optimised. On BFV I got ~100fps at 1440p ultra settings. I was getting ~60fps on high setting in the beta. Cpu optimisation seems worse than BFV. I was expecting this to be heavy on cpu usages with 128 players but I was only getting 20-30% usage whereas BFV is 50-60% usage.
Long time BF fan, will give it some more time tomorrow but first impressions weren't very good

Yeah, not sure how mind!
I dont even know yet whether the rocket launching is something which can be done by players or whether its a time thing or a random thing or what

First thought watching that was....wtf is with his FOV that's horrible

Well apart from it seeming not that well optimized im loving it...MILES better than both bf1 and bf5, finally it seems battlefield has taken a step back to the right direction, the beta is great fun for me.
Just hope the final game is a little better optimized

Managed to get on to a couple of cross play games with my brother on his Xbox last night, and I’m a happy man. This is going to bridge that casual cross play game for us while still being really enjoyable. It’s not perfect but I do think they’ve made a good choice to switch to a faster gameplay type.
Currently thoughts:
There’s just too many vehicles, and destroying them doesn’t seem worth while as a replacement appears almost immediately.
Infantry damage to vehicles is too low. I think I see why they’ve done this, as the replacement of dedicated classes means almost everyone can run with AT rockets, but in reality this doesn’t seem to be happening (yet?). Consequently, tanks and aircraft have too much health and it’s easier to simply avoid an area if you see vehicles there.
Reviving mechanic is cumbersome, as half the time you just keep switching weapon with your downed teammate.
EMP drone is interesting but glitchy. I’ve had it unable to shoot or fly upwards.
Feels like a step backwards when you can’t deploy MGs anymore.
The Rangers (robot dogs) again have far too much health, or are impervious to bullets. I put 70 rounds from an LMG in to one and it just stood there and killed me.
the map in the beta I don’t find too big, but the capture points are in poor places. Having 4 capturable locations within a couple of hundred meters seems nuts.
overall though I have enjoyed it, and will likely get this as my main beating stick game.

It's a lot less meh for me when playing in a group, having a laugh and coordinating.
Actually enjoyed last night's games even though I did suck. Balance will come as will optimisation.
Gameplay/gunplay is good, just needs more variety.

I am not sure what people are complaining about with optimization. Game ran smooth 1080P @ medium settings on my 6600K & RX 480 which is good going considering my PC is 5 years old and was mid-high level at best during that time.
Few things I have noticed. M5A3 is like a laser and just OP compared to other weapons, playing against console players gets boring after a while as it is just too easy also no one bothers to play medic!
One thing I hope is deployable MG's are in the final game as it was a USP for the BF franchise.

I played a few hours of this last night, I didn't play BF1 and BF5 but put hundreds of hours into BF4.
- Performance isn't great, ultra was stuttering mess, high was better but not great. I'm running at 3440*1440 with a 5900X and 3080Ti.
- Helicopters feel OP
- The scale of the map is awesome
- After playing loads of Warzone, the gun play in this just seems off. I swear I was hitting people only for it to not register the hit. Also, ADS accuracy seems all over the place
- Squad and party sizes are limited to 4 - why!!?? Really annoying if you've a group bigger than 4
- Graphics and physics are decent.
I'll probably look to get it but I might wait for them to patch up the obvious performance issues first.

this is a 4 month old build
how does everyone not know this already? i think the perf is crap too but at the same time its 4 months old & EA...
Not everyone runs 1080p medium settings, oddly enough - or wants to.
People don't spent money on the latest bleeding edge equipment to play in a res from 10 years ago.
crouch sliding in Warzone is a little ott but I'm used to it. The running in this does feel a bit like you're Usain bolt on speed. And when you slide there should be flames coming up from the earth, or stars shooting by like I'm flying the millennium falcon.

I don't want to either but all I was saying is how well the game runs on old rigs.

I've got a Ryzen 5 1600, TITAN X Pascal - Can't complain how it runs.
Apparently recording with headphones gives no sound

I like it. Will be getting it.

Each time someone defends it the age of the build gets older and older
It's a 2 month old build according to dice.
