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.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
