I'm so excited for this game the PC beta can't get here soon enough. I wonder how my 4850s will hold up to the punishment.

Don't worry Marineborn, we won't judge.

?????????

The beta is limited to NA residents I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong). If you are connecting from South Korea I could see that being a problem. If I know DICE (which I really dont) the biggest goal of the beta is to work out their netcoding issues.. Closing the beta to NA makes that easier to analyze.

How do I get a Beta Key?



For North America - Beta Keys are limited in quantity and will be available through these select partners: Best Buy and Gamestop. Reserve your copy now in stores!

For Europe and Asia - Keep your eyes open for local opportunities!

More details to follow as we continue to announce additional beta key partners next week. Check back our blog for more details.




It took almost a day for myself to get into a game. It said the same thing his said.. So, it's just that they probably don't have stuff going yet, all servers, for the beta..

Just logged out, played few rounds with Cold Storm, and i got disconnected, internet is getting worse around noon :/

It's my first FPS on a console, and I noticed auto-aim worked better without aiming, and just shot...

Well... I chose Sniper 99% of the time, so i always have to aim!

When i tried to shot without aiming and i killed 2 guys in a row.... that's when I noticed... I think the way it works is super-size the target, so when you shot next to the target like half an inch away they still got shot.

You really cant turn auto aim off on console. Not because it helps a ton long range, but if your going in on the offensive and someone runs past you, auto aim will soft grab that target and help you turn faster, no turn fast and you most likely are just going to get knifed. No mouse turn on consoles, so thats the only way to speed up your turning.

opinions thus far?

Like BF BC 1, it's awesome, I'm not much for this game type though, I like the CTF matches, but this is entertaining, the weapons seem to fire a bit more realistically, they sound amazing, I like the weapon kits, but I don't like that they moved the way to rotate your weapons to the directional buttons, I liked using L2. Its out of my way to hit the left directional button to rez people. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I got the Ace Medal my 1st round, lol (be the best player), I didn't feel I did that great was 17 kills 23 deaths, need to work on the K/D ratio a bit, characters seem to die a bit easier than in BC 1.

It's awesome, I missed the BF BC 1 controls though, still very annoying to switch to rez pack or health packs then switch back. The smaller destruction zones on buildings are nice, fences gets a little annoying since the knife doesn't break them enough to get through on the first swing, I'm sure at one point I will knife a fence see an enemy on the other side and he will kill me before my gun gets raised, then I will be quiet angry. :/

Just got done with a hour. 4th in rankings on both sides.. It's a lot of fun. I've never been the one, expect Unreal Tournament, that liked the whole 9v9 death stuff.. Give me stuff to defend, blow up, and so forth, I'm all for it! I did play a lot of Combat Arms before it went to the hackers.. See.. if a game pee's me off.. I stop/won't play it.. lol

The metal system is pretty neat. and if you kill a person from behind with your knife.. dog tags!

Dog tags are known as the motivator, I loved that from the first BC, I have gone on relentless killing sprees to get someones tags who got mine.

The lack of AA is quite disappoint though. Spotting snipers with no AA is hard...

Because, it's part of the SP storyline, your 4 man crew during the missions all slipped up and got placed there and you pretty much do the dirty work, its pretty comical the guys your with.

The lack of AA is quite disappoint though. Spotting snipers with no AA is hard...

Yeah, this is the console version, otherwise it does look awesome, I'm not really noticing AA, if you have time to sit there and spot a sniper, odds are he's already removed your head.
