Is the beta not unlocking at the same time for everybody? I might just have to write a letter.

In my time zone (GMT+8), it is apparently unlocking in 6 hours.

VV so I misread the battlefield official twit as 4pm instead of 3pm (my time), so that's actually in 5 hours which is still an hour later than 4 hours? I'm incensed. I'm not even gonna be home I'm going to be at work but still it's the principle!!

Came across a video saying that battlefield 5 released for consoles with no snap-on aim assist and no rotational aim assist for multiplayer. Only slowdown.

Then like a year after release they added these aim assist features back in with some console players upset about it since it totally changes the feel of the game. Keep in mind bf5 was a non-crossplay game afaik.

Will be interesting to see how 2042 releases.

People who get mad about console aim assist are extremely weird. Console games without any aim assist are loving terrible imo. Hell Let Loose just came out on consoles and if you believe reddit having a slight aim assist that slows down your reticle is a war crime. Whatever aim assist BF2042 has it won't be better than using a mouse and keyboard no matter how many morons on reddit whine.

I hope they achieve balance parity and not make it better than the best m&k players in the entire world in common situations.

Beta starts in five minutes, but I have a work call for 45 minutes. Gonna be thinking about that sweet new BF the whole time, then i'm jumping in to have a taste. Work can wait. This is assuming there are no server issues, which of course there will be.

Same here. I downloaded the beta through Steam so I really hope it isn't just looking to see if I pre-ordered on Steam.

Pre-ordering on Steam fixed the "you have to pre-order or be a EA Play member" issue so guess I'll just cancel that later if the game turns out to suck.

I'm guessing having "EA Play with Game Pass" doesn't count as being an active EA Play subscriber because that's apparently not good enough to let me play. (but it is good enough to let me waste 20GB of data downloading it)

Oh well. Maybe I'll pre-order and cancel through steam

AA truck is awesome good times, passenger seat has a shotgun. Tank third seat has a 40mm grenade launcher.

Movement is slippery and glitchy as hell and at one point I couldn't fire without opening the menu, causing me to fire after closing it; but all around, fun.

I know the release version is more advanced than the beta we're playing but

This feels so janky. The UI needs so much love.

Yeah, I'm running into the same issue. Activated that Play Pro thingy a couple weeks ago for a different game but it doesn't seem to let me in.

So you're saying it's Battlefield. Not excusing it (it should be better), but jank is what we should all expect. :dice:
