wtf is this 256 color spectrum?
Everyone looks like they have on some kind of pitch black wizard outfit that makes them disappear when they stand in any shadow.
last gen BF4 had the same problem. You could look directly at an enemy and still not see them because they are in a shadow and their isn't enough of a color spectrum to separate any detail.

For every person who's hating it, I see another who loves it.
Not to mention, Battlefield picked up a bit of a casual audience since Battlefield 3 too so believe me when I say, financially, this will not flop.

How did they mess up the motorcycles so badly when they already had them in BF4 working just fine. As a passenger on a bike in BF4 you bounce all over the place. In this game the screen is smooth as silk?
I'd say its just the beta but they've had 3 "betas" now and its still not right?

Just played a couple matches and had a lot of fun. I think it's pretty decent so far, we'll see as I play some more but I was kinda expecting to not like it.
The install isn't even an actual install. It's just downloading the remaining 8GB of the game in the backround. I really don't get why there isn't just one big file to download instead of this crap. It has been the case for a couple of games/betas now.
But we have to give the game one thing: performance is pretty much spot-on, which is a huge improvement over BF4. Everything else though, is up for debate.

While true, and the end of the day I'd also rather not pay $60 + DLC for a game that feels like a half-baked mod. Those are the comments I'm reading that dissuade me the most. And I'm a huge BF fan.
Yep this fully fledged game should be a $20 expansion, yea this sentiment makes complete sense

Wow really had to get used to battlefield shooting after a year of nothing but titanfall, halo and destiny. But once that happened it got to me.
Ive only played heist so far, but I wouldn't pay 60 for it, maybe when it appears on deals with Gold I'll snag it for sub 40
EDIT: Anyone on xbone know how to turn off auto recording?

Excuse me, how do I get the beta on PS4? I tried to look up on store but not seeing it available.
Broadbandito
Member
yea I don't get it, 7 modes, 9 maps and a full campaign. Definitely screams expansion to me...
BF3 launched with 9 maps and BF4 launched with 10 maps for perspective.

Don't forget it'll be 69.99 in Canada and you'll totally need to also get Premium for 49.99$ for stuff they haven't announced......

I wonder why I can't download the beta from xbox.com for the One. The 360 beta is on there.
Yep more content than say Titanfall but you didn't hear anyone saying that should have been a 25$ downloadable game

Impressions after an hour
-gfx aren't bad , some rough spots but decent enough . Last gen still holding it back
- ttk is terrible . So many one hit deaths , combined with large maps and tons of paths e.t.c it can be a nightmare
- UI is absolutely terrible . Took me 5 minutes to understand how it all works
I don't mind some of the other changes and they are really trying to fit the cops v robbers into the battlefield formula but I don't think it works .
Think I'll be giving it a pass. My biggest annoyance really is the ttk . Just getting one shotted from nowhere is so annoying .was a huge fan of counter strike but I think this ttk is even worse .

Those numbers don't mean much when Hardline is recycling assets, gameplay, and old netcode from a 16-month old game. And they're barking up the wrong tree by marketing a single-player campaign to the BF community - even if it is good.
Really I blame EA for this release.

oh no, they did. It's almost everyones opinion on Titanfall, the lack of content.

Wow, this beta is so open that I'd have to buy PS+.
Hate it when they place demos/betas behind paywalls

For some reason my GTX 570 isn't working properly with this game. Even on low settings I'm getting 30 FPS.
This is a screenshot of Afterburner while in game.
Why is it running so slow?
Scroll down to GPU clocks and see if it's switching to 3d clocks.
On max settings on PC, it's quite noticeable switching between the new maps and the old maps.
Beyond asset quality increases, they seem to handle foliage better and have better post processing effects.
For Dragon Age they changed up character rendering, added real save systems, quadruped animation, cinematic (cutscene) systems, localization and dialog tools, gameplay flow tools, and more they detail here: http://www.frostbite.com/2014/08/creating-biowares-first-rpg-on-the-frostbite-engine/
DICE actually commented on these a while ago too: https://twitter.com/ludovicchabant/status/421086273965535232
DICE said:Some of the @FrostbiteEngine changes from Bioware are so awesome we sent them a hand-made "thank you" card:
https://twitter.com/ludovicchabant/status/421086273965535232
By comparison... I don't think I've actually seen anything mentioned about Visceral and the engine.
Look, I totally understand all this, but at the end of the day, if I turn this thing on and just have fun with it, then I think it's worth paying for. I also make this statement considering how long I think I'll play it. I'll usually play a good fps game for months, sometimes years.

Played all the maps and modes. Still feels like a BF4 mod at the end of the day. Hotwire is an amazing mode though. Anyone else get horrible performance drops on PC after the duststorm in Conquest Large? went from 50-60 to the 30s, felt horrible.

Played some hotwire,Car handling is laughable.How on earth a game which claimed to be the fastest battlefield have this type of shit handling,it kills the hotwire mode all together.

Unlocks are really confusing in this game. It was bad enough in BF4, but the amount of things flashing at me post game is just insane. Also, please tell me when I purchase the adranaline pin, it isn;t a one time only kind of deal?
Having this too.. Exact the same as BF4 was before the patches.
It's downloading, not installing.
Yes. It also keeps downloading without having the game open, so you can play something else at the same time.

Yeah...I think I'm just going to delete this from my HDD. I've returned to it four times now and it's just not clicking with me. I don't even find it fun.
Sucks because I genuinely thought that this game would be my next 'go-to' MP FPS.
