You needed to see Rank 45 in the beta? Seems ranking is much faster than BC2, took like 400 hours I think to hit 50 in BC2

Then I took off running for the flag again and he dropped me, once again didn't seem like a single one missed. On big maps I think Recons going to be pretty rare since scope glare, you can just flank them and kill them, albeit you will have to go way out of your way to do so. On Rush, you just can't do that, you either need to kill them straight on, or try and take a slightly different route.
ugh, I got sniped a lot on Caspian. around that forest flag... that and doing stupid things in the jeep were the only ways I really died.

The USAS-12 Gauge shotgun is exactly what you think it is.

Nosferatu is still the truth. I am done now. I have seen all I needed to see. If someone wants to play with my guns, I will gladly join and suicide for you.
I suspect the point values for the beta were altered specifically so that people would rank faster. no basis, just a gut feeling.

There was a post several pages back that alluded to the fact that it would take nearly a year to unlock everything.

I got to see all the weapons I was curious about seeing. The USAS 12 gauge was the last thing I wanted to get a feel for. Everything else I can wait for.

It would be nice to have more then one option if he can sustain it.
That way the guys that suck will have an out if they are getting
frustrated Not sure who that would be. Oh yeah me Shit
I already get frustrated. If I'm not blind it is like playing in an episode
of airbender or something with the guys skipping all over the screen.

The only gun I want to play with is the AN94 and you dont have it.

EOD bot has a repair tool (also used to arm boxes or cause damage to enemies) and then there is also running people over. it cannot spot people, and that is my biggest complaint about it.

mostly people ignore it, but even then, it's movement is so bugged it is practically useless as an actual weapon.

And by that they did mean everything, every scope and unlock for every weapon. That will take a lot of time. BC2 you just unlocked things with rank, but now so many unlocks for each weapon with kills.

If it could spot people, every Engineer would just sit back with their EOD out, and they would become what Snipers were in BC2 -.-

I armed a box with it and then turned it off with E. I was back to shooting people as the arm was a distraction from the other box I was going for. It worked like a charm. The best part was when the disarmed it, I pulled out the remote, hit LMouse and the bot was still working and still sitting right by B, so I just armed it again. Did that 3 times before someone realized the bot was work and destroyed it.

So Highway you never experienced the FPS tanks making it too laggy to play? Are your graphics settings way down perhaps? Happens after awhile and comes and goes but comes too much for comfort. It may be crossfire-related as we already suspected but one 6850 isn't cutting it though that was on Ultra with 4x AA.

I followed mailmans tip and just ran the game at 2xAA instead. Though i never suffered from much lag at all unless there were tonnes of smoke or a huge explosion, then my fps might drop.

I do get 'artifacting' when i look through scopes though. thats about it pretty much.

Yeah artifacts are not too much of a bother in terms of being able to enjoy the beta it's 8-12 ping now and then after a little while and it will even continue through "less intensive" scenes such as the Kill Cam in the subway. So it's doesn't make sense like your drops e.g. with much smoke on screen. When not lagging can get 32-45 outside Ultra 4x AA. I have been trying to monitor my system and nothing is jumping out. Only 4GB RAM but pretty certain not using more than 85% max. Yeah I will turn try turning down the graphics.

Finally unlocked the AN-94 last night. The feels like its working but due to broken audio you can't actually hear anything. Also it only has full auto and bust fire modes to select. No single shot pwnage.

I have the 1 6850. Settings are on high with 2XAA. I get around 50 to 60 FPS. No issues with a graphics except for the occasional white flashes.
