Finally got to Play and played for 3 hours. AMAZING. No lag, playing at 1280*768 @ High, no HBAO, 1x aa/af. Not too worried about aa/af but its amazing. About 52 fps average 43 at heavy fights but thats it.

Smooth as butter. I love DICE for focusing on PC too. God its such a good game. Btw guys Steam name is SikhDude and Soldier name is Sikh Feel free to add me

Was testing out Fraps and happened to catch a nice view. I love it XD It would be my background after I can remove "your team won" lol.

Finally got some time with the game and damn do I suck! With BC1 I played strictly Assault but thought this time I'll give Medic a run since I absolutely loved it in BF2. Why the hell are the med kits and defibs unlocks?? I mean, I get that they want you to progress but in every single round I was in nobody had Medic with the unlocks so nobody was healing.

As for connection issues, none. What a difference even from BF1943, which was a disaster at release. Hopefully I can get with a squad consistently and get some strategy going because right now I'm all over the place!

CoD didn't have a ****ty login system implemented by EA.

No, CoD has a ****ty matchmaking system that picks bad hosts, boots you to lobby constantly, removes people from party, sometimes rarely adds people to your party (god knows how that happens), won't let you pick a map so you don't get stuck with Wasteland, etc. Of course CoD4 was brilliant it had dedicated servers featuring low lag and the ability to map vote and for you to choose which map/server to join. However this isn't really relevant is it ;)

I have every faith in DICE that once these few days have passed everything will be running a lot smoother.

GAME apparently send them by 2nd class post now so will arrive tomorrow. :/

You're still getting it before release date! :blink:

I ordered mine from Amazon with Prime and not been shipped yet, Amazon truly does suck at pre-orders and delivery but I am getting the Xbox 360 version for ?23.39 so whoop :D

Just to update on my previous problem with it not accepting my serial number: A re-tried it after restarting and just kept shutting down, logging in, and restarting. Eventually it worked fine. Not sure what was going on but I since was playing for a few hours and quite enjoy the game. Running medium settings at 1680X1050 it still looks great and I don't know my fps, but it's smooth as butter on my q6600 with 4 gig ram and 8800 gt with auzentech prelude.

I did however have a weird problem where I accidentally teamkilled a guy because he didn't have anything above his head indicating he was on our team and he was wearing US clothes (we were russia). Only happened once but it was definitely an oddity

It's because the servers are getting hammered across the board, logging in, servers and the whole shabang is going up and down.

How did you get so many points playing a medic? Defibs aren't unlocked right away :|

The defibrillator is unlocked from the start in ranked matches. As for the med kit, you unlock that with 1400 points - just like the ammo bag and repair kit (1200 and 1000 respectively).

Game hasnt even processed my order yet, so i cancelled and bought it on steam, preloading now. Its only ?5 more than i was paying for the game plus express delivery and i prefer all my games to run from steam anyway. At least this way i will definately have the game on release date.

I'm probably going to hold off for BF3, but I do see a lot of you playing on PC here, I loved my BF2 PC days.

Getting a little excited, but I'll wait a bit on this one.

And OMG at the fuss kicked up over waiting like 24 hours. I've talked about games a week before street date, but it was the two times on the PS3 where I managed to snag LBP/MGS4 early off ebay and I posted proof. You know yourself when your copy is pirated and if it is and you can't post proof just enjoy it to yourself and wait till it's clear to talk about it here - Why get warned over something so stupid?

Which makes sense, cause I only play ranked matches. I would not have even known the defrib was locked.
