What are your impressions of BF4 beta so far?

[sixer9682]

Anything to like gameplay-wise? I'll tell you right now I will never play that fucking map that they're using, Shanghai? Anyway, what are your thoughts after trying it out today?

 

[Vengeance0058]

Lol whats wrong with it?

I wish it was less laggy. Possibly my favorite thing so far is the sound, especially the RPG. Really sounds like an RPG. And being able to lock on with it is useful for long range shots, while still giving you the ability to manually fire.

I agree with both of you! I really don't like that map but the sound quality is fantastic. When that RPG fires you can just about feel it.

its shit with old drivers, but holy shit after i installed new ones. great pings to me french servers, too.

 

[Vengeance0058]

New drivers causing lag for me. Its not horrible but its not perfect by any means

Downloading this biotch right now, hope to make a judgment this evening. The skyscrapers in the video Rain posted do seem insane, can't wait to base jump.

Know how they dumbed down BF3 from BFBC2, 2142 and BF2? Dumb it down even more. Feels really slow, but could be the whole beta thing.

Seeing alot of complaints about frame rates....amusingly is mostly AMD cards

That map may suck for one mode but work well in another.

Well its being tested in two. Its built well enough for multi mode but id rather play conquest large ATM with vehicles than play domination which isn't bad but...

How does one install punkbuster for this?

 

[Optimoose]

Well my impression was pretty good when I played it this morning. Now it is sucking monkey a$$! Gotta love beta software!

 

[RainMotorsports]

How does one install punkbuster for this?

PB hasn't been enabled yet.

 

[Vengeance0058]

And yet every time I try to join a server I get "Please install punkbuster"

 

[RainMotorsports]

Oh they must have flipped the switch? Did the server say on was on? Download pbsetup from even balance and see if it has bf4 if you haven't already hmmm.

 

[Vengeance0058]

It has BF4 but I can't update it. Something is wrong with PB servers.

How does one lock on with the RPG?

 

[Matt-aka-FAST]

its okay, really choppy then again I am currently playing on a 5770 and my amd quad core is just not cutting it anymore. If I had my video card by now I would do my upgrade...

Chopper feels ok. Almost did the famous roadkill like in 2142 but hit a building lol
