Started the preload on the Xbox one even though my PC can max it.
The amount of cheaters on PC was just too much to deal with during the beta. I had a much more fun time on the console version.

You randomly get battlepacks from playing the game, I think they're awarded at the end of the game. You can then scrap skins and use them to buy the other two special types of battlepacks.

Personally, I can't find a server with more than 7 players... And that isn't enough to start a round.
Oh really? Played 3 matches now and come pretty high up. Rank 6. But still not had any...

This part here makes it sound not performance based but random. Probably a means to discourage incessant quitting.

Where are you located?
I am in Seattle (NA) and can't find any servers with people.
Also... Do we know if time spent at the menu counts as part of the 10 hours?

I intend to spend my entire 10 hours playing as a medic unlocking as much as I possibly can to ensure I have a solid class for day of release.
I would imagine it's random but balanced such that your odds of getting one increase the longer you havent received one. So you have better chances of getting one if you've played 10 games without one versus 5 without one.
They seem to have removed attachments? I know it was present in the beta menu but inaccessible. Now you can just do some super basic customisation of the weapon and that's it.
Hmm I see. Wonder if they'll add other methods to get them. Doesn't seem that satisfying currently. Just got one with a pistol in it that didn't look like anything special at all and that was it.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Trying to get caught up here: ya'll telling me if I have Origin Access I can download the game RIGHT THIS SECOND?
Yes sir.

And why would I want them?
Um, yeah, this is one of the best looking games I have ever seen.
Playing on PC with a 970. I can't believe how insane it looks and it runs SO well on my outdated rig. Just played the first mission. Unreal. Amazing sound as well.

Anyone els having problems getting reshade to work? Cant move once in-game
Gonna wait for more people to get online to play more and hopefully get into a multiplayer match with people in it.
Single player is pretty cool so far, nothing mindblowing but it's been better than BF3 and BF4 so far to me.
I have an issue on PC though, it just seems like aliasing or sharpening or some kind of grain is going on that is making the game look pixely when I'm in motion. I don't remember noticing anything like it in the beta. Every setting is as high as it goes so idk what it is. It's like aliasing crawling along textures whenever I move, in screenshots it looks perfect but its noticable when moving around. Haven't seen anyone else mention it.

Yo HolyFridge, i'd like to see some max settings pics from you.
You always have some of the best screenshots.

Graphics look amazing. Still the same old boring BF campaign stuff though. Bad Company was a fluke that much is obvious.
What the fuck is going on with this new Origin client?
First it downloads a few MB of the game and then it gets stuck at "Calculating" forever. Won't let me close the client either, not even through freaking task manager. Had to restart my PC.
I even reinstalled the client from scratch but no dice.
Never had this kind of trouble with previous iterations of the client.

Unfortunately my old ass pc cant handle new games like this at max

And why would I want them?
haha well it feels outdated to me!! but that's actually good to know because I was feeling like I already needed an upgrade and I just got this 970 when The Division came out.
my CPU is old as fuck though, i5-3570 lol! gotta upgrade ASAP.
I almost don't want to play right now because I'm gonna be beyond bummed when my time runs out on origin access.

Ok something is fucked with my download, it will go up to 25% then actually GO DOWN to 23% or lose how much data its downloaded. What the hell is going on. PC.

Is there any data that demonstrates which console has the better community? I find no one talks at all on PS4 and it makes this game far more challenging to enjoy.

The answer is always playing with friends. Or finding gaffers to play with. I have a group of gaf friends that I play games like this with on PC.

I think PS4 will have the numbers. As for talking more than likely it has to do with people being in parties already.

It's not very hard to find some friends, just add your squad mate and play with them when they are online
I find it way more enjoyable to play with the same people than with random all the time.

Probably 3+ more hours.

Waiting on the same with NA PC Servers... Feels weird studying when I could be playing.

Yeah, I'll be waiting until later this afternoon/evening (west coast time) unless I hear they're filling up nicely before then. Stretching this trial time out for these next 5 days or so is going to be hardddd.

Thing to mention, that EA Access gives 10 hours free trial and then if you use those 10 hours and then order/buy the digital version you get another 10 hours before the game comes out. Once you buy it gets reset to 10 hours, so if you play 2 and then buy you only get 12 total. But play all 10 and then buy and you're golden.
I used that method on NHL 17 and a buddy did it with Madden and NHL. Honestly not sure if it is intentional or title specific but it might work.
Figure it might help some people out.
