So far I am loving the guns and the smoothness. At first I was chugging but I switched servers and all was well. It is almost unnerving how smooth your rotations are even with mouse sensitivity set high. Assault on burst fire is great, I almost wish there was a way to stop the release of all other weapons since I know the balance will suffer.

game runs pretty decent on my i3 7770 rig, but I do choke up whenever I shoot. So that kinda sucks. Usually like 15-20fps.

It runs smooth as butter on my 4770k / 760 at 1080p. I've had no frame loss or drops anywhere, even on 64 player servers.

I got occasional micro stuttering with the settings on auto with the GTX 760 on beta drivers. Setting turning a few thing down seems to have fixed it. I can run with ultra textures on 2GB of VRAM.

Gotta nuke something
Running a GTX580, and while I haven't played any matches, I spectated a few with everything on Ultra and the game runs as smooth as silk. Not sure if spectating vs playing will make a difference, but so far the performance puts BF3 to shame on my machine.

The new AMD drivers help a lot but the performance isn't still what I would consider acceptable :( Everything on medium/low (textures on high) and still getting drops to 45 FPS :( (HD 7950)

anyone figure out what the better AO setting is for frames(well besides off)? Also if you are on vista/7 disable aero it seem to be worh about 5-10 frames.

Any goons going to be in mumble this week?

I'm getting some slight mouse input lag and it bugs. Running dual 580s. Medium gets me 35-40 fps while high gets me 30-35. This is at 1440p. Origin overlay is off. BF3 can lock at 60+ for me.

This is some pretty hot poo poo. Had a good time with everybody. Love the way everything is all gray and covered in dust after the building comes down. The first time it did I was on the other side the map, and just heard it, and everything starting shaking. Was a really great effect.

Hopefully the performance issues get ironed out because it runs like hot rear end for me. i5-750 oc'd to 3.6 GHz, SLI 580s and it was chugging no matter the graphical settings.

Or grab a carbine.


I suppose it was too much to hope for that the beta would have all the weapons we saw in the latest build on the YouTubes. Guess I'll learn to love the U-100 and Type 88 LMG's.

Edit: Where are these latest AMD drivers? All their website is returning to me are drivers from way back in April.

Nvidia users, there's a new beta driver released yesterday which completely solved my framerate issues when I installed. Went from unplayable at mixed high/ultra to smooth maxed out on my 770 gtx.

Ice to see you!

The new AMD drivers have really done wonders for my framerate, feels really smooth now. Running an i5-3750k, 8G DDR3 and a 6850 on a mix of low/medium settings and it feels like I'm getting 40-60 frames.

Beta driver installed and it still runs like poo poo. Maybe I need to try a clean install.

Not worth it. In sure they'll update it sometime by the end of the week. How long is this gonna last? At least it's seemingly a real beta. I just assumed it was a glorified demo like most "betas".

Ok, now I'm getting game crashes after dying but only sometimes with the latest AMD drivers. No other problems though.

Feels like BF3. Feels a bit weird though, takes a lot to kill someone, and I only notice two bullets until I'm dead. Also it seems like they left a LOT of stuff out of the beta.

Best change however is being able to chat during round end waiting.

Surprisingly the exact opposite for me, same card. Beta drivers caused stuttering, other latest drivers fixed it.

The beta build appears to be the one they showcased at E3, not the ones later with the island map and greatly expanded equipment selection.

I get about 30 fps max with every thing on low, wasn't expecting that at all. I know it's just the beta and every thing but yeah.

Well that can't be correct because that was clearly an alpha build, with the majority of textures missing and things like the M16 graphic as a place-holder for all weapons in the equipment menus. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We've got what we've got.

I can't get mad at this game even if I am getting destroyed. Everything feels so right. Except for the wonky physics on the ammo and med packs. What the hell is with those things? I've had them slide across the battlefield because they landed on glass.

This makes my game run anywhere from 60-73 fps on ultra. Running a 4770k and a 780 gtx so I guess I get what I paid for.

I get max 40 FPS when nothing is going on, with i5-750 and 6950, lowest settings and overlay disabled, its nigh on unplayable when it dips to 20-30 in battle. :( Performs way worse than alpha but that's expected.

But I still keep playing.

It's pretty funny when your on top of the building at D, and you happen to shoot the glass out from under your teammates and watch them fall to their doom. Watching C collapse for the first time is a pretty great "holy poo poo" moment as well.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
poo poo I really like;

- M302 with Medkit!
- M302 finally does quite a bit of damage against vehicles.
- Red dots no longer zoom by a factor of x1.5.
- Holy poo poo the waves in the water.
- Don't know if it's because the VoIP is better in BF4, but a lot more people are using it.
- The look & feel of (most of) the UI.
- Position of the spotted trooper is called out to you (east of you!).
- Functional buildings (where you can run into).
- The sun is no longer going supernova.
- Recon is no longer a guaranteed wasted spot in your squad.

poo poo I don't like;

- Maybe I haven't found the option yet, but I can't lock my map (stop it from rotating). Which means when they say "east of you!" kinda useless.
- The UI to customize your gun is annoying to get to & fiddle around with. Probably is something I just need to get used to.
- Knife kills are a bit dodgy at the moment.

All in all, I'm liking this update. It feels more like the original Battlefields, being far less boring and rigid than BF3. I think I'll have a hard time going back to BF3, which feels like a bland tech demo at this point.

Also yeah I'm having a blast sniping dudes and when there are no targets around harassing vehicles with my man held and operated targeting laser. Then I snipe more dudes because zeroing your loving scope is pretty intense.

Laser designation actually gives you a solid amount of points compared to the dogshit soflam which rarely worked well anyway.
