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.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
