That's no different to invisible walls in BF4

As this is a test release, can you report this to them?

The link to the alpha forums doesn't work for me.

Performance during the single player.

Spoiler

Framerate was limited to 135 with everything on low except mesh and textures. Res = 2560 x 1440. GPU was clocked at 1350.

I would say this is on par if not better than BF4.

Here is everything on Ultra with AA off.

Spoiler

I'm very happy with the performance of this game. It looks stunning.

Good summary of the game in my opinion:

Perfect summary

How did you get access to this!? Did you not post earlier saying you failed to get access!

It's not what you know, it's who you know

holly STAR YOUR SWEARIES OUT FULLY OR JUST LET THE FULLY DO IT PLEASE

ok mod

it does look bombastic.

Yup the game is stunning looking, imo probably the best graphics to date yet. Can't wait to see other maps. Tatoine has better graphics than hoth, the particle effects etc. look better.

EDIT:

Played a game yesterday and still can't get over how powerful the at-at and aircraft are against infy, joined late and went 29-2 in a few minutes.

I wouldn't go that far but I have less than 1 hour playtime (think I have 10 for hardline and more for the BF beta's) so will wait for the beta I guess. Balance wise it feels wack so they have a lot of work to do. In saying that it looks amazing and is very stable - although it's DICE so didn't expect anything less

 

[JGStonedRaider]

Looks amazing, sounds amazing, plays like poop imo

Air Vehicles are just laughable, Rails vehicles suck (OP and boring all at the same time), Gunplay is non existent and yet again the map, oh boy it's even worse than BF4 rush maps.

Certainly couldn't hold my attention.

Oh dear there does really appear to be anyone loving this? Will keep an open mind. But can feel a pass coming.

Maybe - some people have said they enjoy it but the common theme for me is that those of us that play a lot of battlefield haven't enjoyed it. The game mode walker assault feels very broken balance wise. For instance I was playing with Nexus who went 30/1 on his first crack at an X-Wing. I managed to get into an AT-AT and it was totally OP, even on my first try. If I think about my rebels experience it was totally the opposite, I was struggling to stay positive due to the aircraft and AT-AT/AT-ST spam.

They have not done themselves any favors with this game mode and I find it hard to believe it was play tested by real gamers. It would be interested to play some conquest or another game mode and then test it again.
