Got this in the bundle. Found it way easier using a mouse instead of ps3 pad (used to play on the ps3). I'll be up for some games if there's some around?
 
Eugh, I'd forgotten from having played the PC beta ages ago that it used your browser to launch the game, so very annoying. I can understand why they did it, but there's far too much that can (and did, in my case) go wrong. You need their plugin installed, you need Origin's web service activated, and if for some reason Origin hasn't been installed correctly so the correct registry entries exist, you need to reinstall that too. Then you join a game and you're dropped straight into a server without being able to set up your kit and game settings first.

Still, it looks and runs great compared to the PS3 version that I've been playing again lately, if the next-gen version of BF4 looks this good I'll be very happy.

I actually like the web server browser and think it works quite well now although it was weird at first. You are launched into the game but you can make your kit selection and change gfx options etc. before spawning (although iirc you could only change game options once you were actually alive when the game was first launched, which was very annoying!).

Is there any way to customise kits (sights etc) in between rounds, or do you have to quit out to the web service? I seem to be able to switch weapons, but not sights/addons etc.
