trag3dy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 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?

Ayepecks Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 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?

Duality Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 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 :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951180-official-battlefield-play4free/page/3/#findComment-593486400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just remember those who have keys - you are under a pretty restrictive NDA :( Unless you censor your soldier name out of the footage you release.

Ayepecks Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 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.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 15, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2010 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...

Pupik Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Damn, why the 16vs16?

ViperAFK Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 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. 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.

Green_Eye Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah as Dirty Larry said the only thing this made me want to do is re-buy BF2(my original disk does not read anymore :( ) again, it definitely feels like BF2 but it definitely isn't...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 20, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2010 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.

Minifig Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's fun, but it feels... Browsery, I don't know how to explain it. It's indefinitely better than Battlefield Heroes though.
