I heard there are already hacks in the beta. Though that should be no surprise considering the MoH and BC2 betas were both ruined by hackers. I don't really get the purpose of hacking in a beta game..and I don't get why DICE hasn't done anything about it. Why do they not have PB enabled in their betas?

I love it so far, but there are graphical slowdowns for no reason at certain points. Also, why are you forced to name each soldier? Why can't I have a soldier for each class and have them all be "Ayepecks"? I started out using a class I hate, and now that one will be Ayepecks even though I'll never use him. What's the point?

Got a key thanks to one of the EA guys (who have been really rather nice and supportive of the anti-cheat movement, which is more than I can say about Activision...), looking forward to really starting to play the game. Just remember those who have keys - you are under a pretty restrictive NDA :(

Biggest two annoyances so far (these have already been revealed, so pretty sure there's no NDA violation):

1. Not being able to change your character class (or change mid-game between your characters), and not being able to have multiple characters listed under a single persona.

2. EA has apparently said they have no plans to support widescreen monitors via Twitter. So the HUD is always going to be F'ed up if you have a widescreen monitor.

Other than that, I love it. Think it's quite amazing, really, and a great service. I highly recommend it when it comes out of beta. It's pretty polished as it is, but there are some obvious bugs.

Not sure how I feel about it yet, glad they carried over some of the aspects like spotting, etc., but definitely feels like a free game, and all it really did was made me want to launch BF2... But I definitely felt at home, not the best score and my team was pretty bad...

This is seriously pathetic, they've regressed back into their bf2 mindset. Its ****ing 2010, how can you release a game that does not support widescreen properly? Especially WHEN THEIR NEWER GAMES ALREADY SUPPORT IT.

And those two reasons are the reason it'll fail.

Any gamer who is serious about gaming has a wide screen monitor.

I have played maybe 4 games with it, it locks up all the time, and it freezes up for about five minutes before I can even see the menu :p When playing it runs pretty smooth every once in a while there are some lag spikes which make sniping a challange however, overall its a rather good game especially for being free.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
