Played a bit today and oh boy... what a letdown. Yes i do know this is beta but still.

If you want to take on CoD you have to make a better looking clone. And that's what they did.

Looks broken in every way.

Very disappointed as a BF fan.

Could be a little more descriptive, ie what exactly is wrong rather than saying its broken in every way,

first of all this is definitely no cod clone. Second of all the game mode in the beta is RUSH on an infantry focused map. we've already seen from videos their will be large, vehicle heavy conquest maps in the game too. You are judging it far too harshly. its the rush gamemode that originated with bad company, so of course this map feels more BC2 than BF2.

You are right, operation metro isn't a great map, but maps like Caspian border look like they will be great fun.

The beta doesn't have jets, helis, tanks ect... There is a LOT of stuff in the final game we haven't even seen yet.

I am real curious what game people are playing and/or if they have truly changed that much since the Alpha, as I played the Alpha when it was released about a month ago and am not sure where any of these comments are coming from based on my time with it, and I would imagine they have only refined things since that. Maybe they somehow changed the entire way the game played in a few weeks. I guess I will get to see for myself when I get home from work in about 90 minutes.

If it was free fair enough but some people like me bought MOH:LE just for beta access and a full day of ealy access has been wasted waiting for them to release the keys.

Still, it's no reason to get mad about. You still get an extra day of play time till the 10th of October. Just chill out and be happy with what has been given to you. It's nothing to get mad about and cancel a pre-order. You could've expected it not to go as smoothly as everyone had hoped and I'm sure that their local time has a play in this.

I have a couple friends who are already playing it. Somehow.

What are you talking about? The early access has already started. I can be home right now playing it if i was not at work.

Damn, I admit I have not paid much attention, but is this Beta really just RUSH mode? If so, I may not even bother playing other than to check it out for performance. I loathe RUSH mode personally, literally only play Conquest.

Same here :(

Just an hour to go for me, if I even want to play it now. LOL

Yeah, its 32 player rush. No vehicles. I don't think its THAT bad and don't mind rush too much myself, but I do think EA chose a very poor map to use for the beta. It doesn't give people the right impression of the game.

or maybe what you are getting right now is the impression of the game they are trying to get out there? but it just sucks...

Played a couple of games. Feels a little like BC2. Movement is different from BC2 just not that much different. Seems well polished. Still having problems with invisible walls (like I did in the Alpha). Body models need fixing (try killing someone with a shotgun and see what happens). Talking about shotguns, got my first 8 kill streak. Gotta love the proning idiots (Y)

I've seen enough proof in videos, like the caspian border gameplay. This map is clearly nothing close to everything that this game has to offer.

Unless they removed it since the alpha, the attackers get an APC on the first stage. That's it, though.

Not entirely sure why it matters. there's barely more than a day left before it's open to everyone. Although I sure wouldn't turn down an early access give if it were given to me.

*trying to be patient*

And I did pre order, it's just my pre order was in place before this Origin thing came about so I couldn't really change it. lol

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
