Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

doesnt look like we can proxy cheat early access like we did with bf3 beta
there appears to be one set clock on origin for beta launch.
though I hope we can cheat it for the full retail launch, just cause I can knock the single player on its head before the game is officially out and then when I dont need to worry about battlelog kicking me off when the proxy fails jump right into multiplayer
also lets not get too excited for the beta lets have a reminder of what sort of crap we dealt with when we got into bf3: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=20564034440 -

Think of it as everyone getting in early, rather than you can't cheat the system to get in early

I never said lappys are more powerful, but to say there no good for gaming is false.
Value ?, well lappys are more expensive due to the mobility and size.
Desktops outperforming a laptop is nothing new, but thats not to say you cant buy a powerful laptop for gaming. And just because a laptop doesnt have the same power as a desktop, doesnt mean you cant game on one.
A formula 1 car would destroy a 911 in a race, but thats not to say a 911 cant race.
Heat is the number one problem with a laptop, specially on a hot summers evening. but if its a descent build with good cooling, any problems will be few and far between.
My biggest complaint with laptop gaming is the screen, never seems to be as good as a monitor.0 -

sunk in a good few hours.
compared to the BF3 beta, this is leaps ahead in stability. Thats not saying a lot as initial bf3 beta (as linked earlier by me) was a lot of crashing and some massive glitches.
My biggest issue with this is that it doesnt feel optimised which frankly I expected as much. there was a night and day difference between bf3 beta day 1 and full release day 1 so I'm hoping for something similar here. It runs well sometimes then now and then I suffer what I think is a massive fps drop. But they've changed the fps console command so I cant check if it is my fps or if its something else.
Voip is back but limited to who you squad up with.
It has sadly taken Medal of Honours & Rome 2's bad lead and has a ****load of menus which is frustrating both in battlelog (good luck finding where you put in your clan tag
) and also in the game itself. Why you cannot simply click on a weapon/gadget in the spawn screen at the top to swap it out is beyond me.
gameplay.
well like bf3 beta you'll need to ignore whats going for the first ten minutes cause I have no idea who's settings bf4 is using but that person must have a really good mouse cause the sensitivity was way down, the settings are all on high and so on, so a bit of tweaking.
The map itself is mixed. in classic battlefield tradition when you get a good squad rolling (and the new in game voip makes this much easier, teamed up with a random and we pretty much led our team to victory in two games) it's some of the best natural mutliplayer fps out there. With the C point pre levelution being the highlight when you need to be quite organized to assault it right. B point is another highlight as is A. D and E I spent less time with but D looks to be a reverse of B (going up instead of down) and not sure about E. I have to laugh as despite it happening in almost every game I have yet to *see* levelution, I'm always underground or at A or somewhere out of sight when it happens. C post levelution is a ****ing nightmare. Which brings me to the maps biggest problem.
its a sniper whore's dream. It is too damn easy to get a lot of snipers on the roof of the really tall buildings around the map and while pre C makes it easier at least the building blocks a lot of line of sight. Post C is just opening the whole map for long range F*ck you sniping that had me paranoid going around every corner.
aside from that the Ak12 feels nice and solid but dont bother with the muzzle brake as a lot of the fighting is surprisingly in your face. Not so sure about the Scar-h, but I wasnt even a fan of that in BF3
Helicopters due to the buildings are not the powerhouses they are normally, but tanks are frustrating as hell, especially when playing assault and they roll in under ground to B or A or D or E....yeah tanks can get almost anywhere in the map leading to many f*ck! run away! moments for me.
the change to the defib may have gone...too far. maybe its cause I was the only one to unlock it on the server but man there is no ressing and even if you try
a) its damn hard now with the delay
b) the time frame for ressing is stupidly short. They need to be down within 10 metres of you if you've any hope of ressing.
giving everyone the m320 off the bat may sound like a bad idea but its also been smacked with the nerf bat.
Overall its a good start to things, and I guess its a good sign that even 4 hours of playing I feel like i've scratched nothing in this game yet.
EDIT:
one last thing, I dont know if its a new way of laying it out, but I'm getting the impression the beta shipped with very little of the endgame content, looks like only a few of the weapons for each class are here and so on...0 -
I had a few quick games and liked it a lot. It seems fairly polished for a beta. It runs well and I'm using seriously outdated drivers!
The gunplay feels solid and I had some really satisfying gun fights. I spent a bit of time in the tanks and they seem well done however I don't fully understand the new critical hit system properly yet, there were inconsistencies in the number of shots required to blow up other tanks. It's good to see that the essential vehicle unlocks like the secondary LMG, lock-on countermeasures and zoom optics are unlocked by default.
The SMGs that the engineers get seem quite puny (as they should) but unfortunately you need to use them to unlock the carbines. I hope it's not like that when released. I'd like if the starting carbine, shotgun and DMR are all unlocked by default.
I also picked up the six-barrel grenade launcher pick-up but I couldn't find anyone to kill with it 0 -
