BFBC2 pc beta........your opinion?

[nullface]

Its ok. Not great and not bad. Just like purgatory in a way

But on a more serious note, i only like playing hardcore mode. But even that is not enjoyable because the only hardcore server i find that is actually running hardcore is in Sydney and its lag hell
But besides that, its pretty ok.

**Forgot to add: I hate that I can't go on to level 12. Capped at 11 for pc users

Lol, that is of cause only in the beta.

Why don't engineers get it when a tracer dart is placed on a tank or chopper?

And isn't the forum post count locked?

Well ! it's running crap for me ! Maybe now it's the time to upgrade my GPUs ! I have 2X 3870 OC in crossfire ! Maybe a 5850 will do the trick ? I'm still on a q6600 and so far so good, I'm looking into the I7 but dont have the $$$ to invest into DDR3 and mobo yet ! I don't know if my q6600 will bottleneck my 5850 ?

game is terrible imo. i know its a beta but just another terrible bf game IMO. when you stand right in front of an enemy, unload your entire clip into them and see the blood splats, and yet they live through it and shoot you from point blank with an rpg and manage to live, thats when you know this game is terrible. Not to mention the flying controls make no sense and are just plain trash.

well I think the game is great but this is a problem there have been plenty of times Im looking down the barrel unloading 3-5 shots into someon only to get swiped by the knife and die while they survive........it is a knife right?? and not a Ninja sword that slices you in half? I have no idea how the knife kills in one swipe.......maybe its a beheading or a fatality from Mortal combat lol

Seriously though I think everybody is wearing body armor so this is why it takes so many shots to kill thats the only thing I can think of........but then I get killed with one shot from a pistol and its not a headshot so they really need to figure out the damage on the weapons...

The Beta was actually a several week old build by the time it was released. DICE has stated that there has been a lot of weapon balancing since then so expect the final version to be much better in that regard.

Anyone got this? It happens to me from time to time, and its pretty annoying.

I've had the black screen for a split second a few times. Every couple of days I'll have a CTD aswell. Other than that it's working really well for me.

Each day when I first login, I use the beta-updater tool to look for updates. On day two there was an update but there's been nothing since. Perhaps when/if they release more updates some of these isues will be resolved.

Fingers crossed

[nullface]

I just hope they fix it (im sure they will ), its the only form of crash i experience atm.

Btw; The skill level does anyone know how it is calculated? Mine is a solid 397

[THOMO]

I've no idea about the skill level. I'm 300 so you must be doin' sumthin' right

[ColonelCain]

Skill level?

[Mad1723]

Skill level?

It's a stat about how you perform based on different stats in your profile. I'm actually at 375 Got 8h with my M24, 295 kills, just got my Gold Star 2 Gotta love sniping the poor noob snipers that try to take you down but fail at calculating the bullet drop

What do we know about support for tripple core cpus? I know that the Xbox 360 makes use of the three cores, but I'm wondering how good of a deal the Phenom x3's would be for those looking at a PC upgrade for this game.

A friend is considering an upgrade, and the Phenom x3 would leave extra $$ in order for him to invest in the 5770 HD rather than the 5750. Any feedback is appreciated.

Why not get PII x2 C3 and unlock it?

Wow. Thanks for sending me in that direction Looks promising.

it seems like upgrading for this game is completely pointless. i dip down to 25fps on lowest details and for other guys with much slower machines its totally smooth. i've read about people with core i7's and gtx295's having performance issues... it really doesn't make sense.

[Circaflex]

I have the occational slowdown, but usually its smooth like butter maxed out for me with rig in sig.

Ive grown to really enjoy the game now, finally getting a different guns makes a world of difference. Im pretty hooked on it now, probably will purchase the game now.

Pros:
Feels like an actual battlefield (many more players the MW2)
Destructible world
Tanks, Choppers, Cars, 4wheelers

Cons:
Some guns seem unbalanced
Few glitches here and there, but it is a beta

for everyone when starting the game does it ask to do an update check, but fail to find the host/server or something like that for the update, and then ask you if you want to play the old version or am i the only one?

Have you ever seen or heard about a modern battlefield where the soldiers need to shot in front and/or above an enemy just to hit them?


Noob snipers trusted the fact that sniper rifles are very high powered and when fired across a relative short distance wouldn't suffer a terrible made up unreal game mechanic. You are not shooting somebody 2 miles away.
It makes the game feel like the classic tank shooter 'Scorched Earth'.


Oh how good trailers can make a game look.

i7 920, Radeon 5870 and it flies with everything maxed at 1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF.

Have you ever shot a real sniper rifle? If you have then you know the scope is set for a certain distance and it has adjustable clicks where you can set it for a different distance or even to adjust for wind.

I been playing on my friends rig, he has i7 920 + GTX 285 and flies as well, on max settings

[flopper]

beta high settings 90+fps to 125fps 1920x1080 using 5850 900/1000 and a 4ghz win 7 i7 ssytem.
Low settings 100+ fps to 130fps.

eyefinity 5760/1080 50-70 fps all low set.
playable and mostly 60fps

game feels restricted, weapons move to much, its a mess.
no distinct precison except sniper.

[orangekiwii]

Performance cannot be that good.

GTX285 more or less equals 5850

I have a q9550 at 4 ghz and a gtx285


max at 1920 by 1200 I get an average of 30 fps... no way you get 90+ fps

I have to play on medium and i still get lag... people make so much up about performance and i don't know why

[iTravis]

I play on my 2nd rig with a QX9650 and a GTX 295 @ 1920x1200 all max without any problems, the game runs pretty smooth to me. But I do have a problem when starting the 2nd match then I see a bunch of black and sometimes white round thingy flowing in the game. Restart the game and they're gone but when I play the 2nd match then they appear again, anybody have this issue? I don't think it's my driver or card problem since I can play other games just fine.

[Wolf132]

I wonder if they ever tested huge maps out with 64 players or maybe even 128. I really hate how the damn maps wont let you go out of a certain area. A more open battlefield would make the game somewhat better imo.

I was playing the other day in a server with a clan of 5 people on 1 team, and all they would do while attacking was to spec recon with mortars and spam attack the bomb sites and all the buildings.....

[Frogeye]

I'm only at level 3 but the more I play the more I get used to the game. I've finally got my bindings set up niceley (dog tags!). I hope they fix he problem with the joysticks, my saitek av8r 01 does not work in the beta. So, I haven't been able to fly the uav or the choppers yet.

As for performance, I have noticed laggy servers. My machine is running the game fine but I'm running it on medium settings @ 1980 to keep my fps up around 75.

There seems to be some issues with knifing. I love to collect dogtags. Anway it seems like there is a lot of lag after you hit your knife key. I'll hit it and like half a second later I see that I got the kill. Also, the distance for a knife kill seems too far away. It is like you have a sword, hey bit I guess that is good for us people that like to knife.

Overall the more I play the more I like the game and can't wait for the gold retail to come out.

I'm sure a lo of the things we are all complaining about will be fixed.

Oh ya one last observation.... The sound goes from really good to down right quiet. Driving around in the quad in 3d person is like the quad is battery powered.

I hope to frag a bunch of this forums members real soon =).

[fiskov]

Either some people are BS'ing their "oh so superior" FPS results, their playing a completely different game or they think 20fps translates into 90+

4ghz i7 / 2x 280 gtx / 6gb / ssd's / @ 1024x768 | LOW to make this game playable.
4ghz i7 / 295 gtx / 6gb / 1024x768 | LOW to make it playable
q9550 3.8ghz/ 2x 260gtx / 8gb @ 1024x768 | LOW to make it playable
amd x4 3.6ghz / ati 5850 / 4gb @ 1024x768 | LOW to make it playable
amd x3 3.6ghz / ati 4670 / 4gb @ 1024x768 | LOW to make it playable

And by playable i'm talking at MINIMUM 30, which is normally unacceptable for me.
Even on these settings i'm dipping into the low 20's..

So please, enlighten me, how some are claiming 1920x1200 with high and AA on..
Hell, theres not any videos on youtube showing smooth/highres gameplay, there's no screen caps showing these wonderful high frame rates.

So how about someone actually back up these claims..
