just turning off ambient occlusion and aa/af gives a huge perfomance boost, the vsync option doesnt work though and now its started crashing to desktop during gameplay :/ oh well suppose they have a month to fix it. tbh im more exited about avp, bfbc is kinda generic

So far, don't like it that much. Epic lag, controls are meh, doesn't compare to good old BF2 and they changed the whole chopper controls which sucks.

Give it time :) Just came out, it is still in beta :) Should be better in a couple days.

This is what happens when I have a good gunner in my Tank who is also an Engineer. He is actually on top of me in the score column.

@ Waylander - No way to remove the watermark as far as I know.

Pwnage, DL. Straight up pwnage.

I wish the friends list was working so that we could play together.

I'd rather see them sort the servers, 'else the playing experience is a bit whack :laugh:

I only played for like 30 minutes yesterday, just to get some quick impressions. Now I'm sitting here at work craving to play the game, I just realized how good it is!

Oh, of course! I want them to fix the server issues first. Fortunately for me, I got a chance to play two lag-free games and man... that's when the game really shines. Taking over an area with your teammates is awesome when you have highly qualified Medics and Engineers on your side.

This game is SIMPLY AMAZING. I cant wait for the servers to get stable. So far this night I played about an hour, and lag kicked in last 20 mins but I wasnt worried. Anyway, I wish friends list was working so me, dl, and a few of you guys can rock on with this game.

My Steam is SikhDude, add me Anaron, Sethos, etc. Ill be playing this game a lot for the next month until the beta expires. But, I definitely wanna get the friends list working.

I do hope we can get a few games going with a bunch of Neowinians on the battlefield but I will say, I won't be spending much time on US servers which I

know a few people here will. I'm hyper-sensitive to high latency :laugh:

Then start playing more often in US servers to desensitize yourself. (Y)

It's impossible to get desensitized to high latency, especially if you take on a marksman role. :/

True, that. I experienced it first-hand in a number of games and it's annoying.

I love the medic :laugh:

<Snipped>

Damn! The Medic is one hell of a class eh. I think it looks the coolest too.

That reminds me, the ambient effects in the game are amazing, stuff like the wind blowing snow across a road etc. Also, the triggers like the A-10's flying overhead at the end of a round.

The Frostbite engine is really amazing (Y)

It definitely is amazing. I was looking forward to a Frostbite-powered game on the PC ever since the release of Battlefield: Bad Company. I wonder how it looks with DX11 effects.

anyone got a spare beta key??

thanks

yeah me need key too :cry:

@Sethos: I very much agree with you, I am sensitive to High Latency, but Im using a 20 meg connection and do not fear UK servers anymore. So ill gladly play with you if your too n00b to play with us over in the US :p.

The frostbite engine is truly amazing. Having played the first one on 360, i started it said "no this is not battlefield" and ended it within 5 minutes of playing online. But with this game I went in without having that "omg its gonna fail like bc1" and said "DICE is in and keep hopes high". I was glad I did, because the game is amazing and ill have xfire opened to log every hour i play the day this game goes retail. Ill be putting this whole year into just this game. I really do enjoy it, of course BF2 and BF2 + PR will always be my main BF games, this is a Very good Second.

What I really cant wait for, More MAPS and game modes!!!

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
