Is there a nvidia driver issue? Runs rather badly on my 680gtx.

You can't even consider it a step backward..... it's just bizarre the new setup.

When the skyscraper falls it covers everything in dust making them look like the textures have gone.
Also..........BETA, its an unoptimised, incomplete build.
Wow, you should see how my friends were complaining about that in my home. What I like is that now you can move, aim and spot at the same time. And I thought that with como rose now in consoles, I didn't spot accidentally the bases, but that's not the case.
The vehicle controls are really atrocious. L and R were perfect as gas and brakes.
It is my imagination or the Assault kit doesn't earn points when healing someone else with the small kit?
Nope, I threw a kit to a couple of guys who were hurt and I didn't get any points.
Bummer, I used to rack up some insane points in Operation Métro with the healthpack.
Also, shit goes flying wildly when I just want to throw it at someone.

The graphics on 360 are pitiful. Pre-HD update, this game is so gross, as was the BF3 beta. The gameplay is pretty great, feels a lot like BF3. Sniping is much better, which is nice since all I play is recon. 12vs12 is still super boring.
Will pick up on PC or PS4 eventually.

it's also a step back, stickdrive was an option in previous games
When I'm actually playing I use definitely less ambitious settings [100% res@1080p, No MSAA] getting an average of 55 FPS.
Yeah... that's my biggest knock on BF (dating back to BF3 as well...) That must be the tradeoff for destructibility/huge scale environments. There's instances where all you see is plain grey concrete stretching for 20-50 feet... looks bland.

5 brand NEW textures!!
Jk imo the gameplay feels better,but the vehicle controls are totally fucked up on the consoles
Sorry but being able to spawn on squad mates has been a staple of the Battlefield series ever since Battlefield 2, so I don't think they are doing it for the "CoD crowd"

After playing a few matches on 360, it really shows that this game really wasn't meant to be played on the current-gen consoles. It feels like a forced port.
Kept hitting BACK for spotting, why in the hell did they have to change that? Didn't enter a single vehicle so can't comment on the vehicle controls.
Shitty textures galore, but this probably was because the demo doesn't have the "HD" texture pack that BF3 also kind of required to install. However, the levels are empty, buildings are empty, streets are empty, 24 players just get lost in the wilderness. These Conquest maps were built with 64 players in mind, not 24.
69.99€ for the game, 59.99€ for the Premium, straight from the get-go. That's a total of 130€ for a game basically. Then they push "battlepacks" in your face. The whole game reeks of P2W without being F2P.
I've clocked nearly 500 hours for BFBC2, 400 hours for BF3 and I think this could've been a new map pack for BF3. Will not buy for current-gen consoles. Will wait for PS4, when the main game price drops.

Battlefield 2 only allowed you to spawn on a squad leader. So if he was dead- enjoy the walk. I wouldn't mind if they enabled it so that you can only spawn when out of combat for three seconds but nothing is more fucking frustrating than winning a fight only to have the person who spawned 0.1 seconds before their death just unload a fresh clip in to you.
Total and utter bullshit.

If you don't like the new control scheme, try switching to Veteran in the control options. It's like BF3.
I think the new control scheme is a lot better, personally. The new control scheme for vehicles is terrible, though, so I switched that one to Veteran.

untrue, chopper controls are even tighter than BF3 and you can easily navigate between buildings with choppers. And tanks&jeeps control better after you swap it to veteral/classic controls.

Played earlier today w/ no issues. Now im getting a direct x error. I have the latest amd release drivers. Will the beta driver work?
I concur this game shouldn't be ported to current gen consoles, it's maps and gameplay were designed around a technology which is no where to be found be it 360 or PS3, a new BF3 DLC map pack designed with that tech and limited player counts in mind was the way to go... if it wasn't EA we were talking about.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this game. Guns sound way worst then in BF3

I see you never played hardcore in BF3.
Eh? I think they sound better than the "tinny" sounds of BF3's guns. More similar to Bad Company 2 is not a bad thing at all.

I was totally expecting it to scale
Honestly this was the biggest issue so far with the game. Only played two games so I need to look more into the controls but the defaults are ridiculous.

Stop crashing! Grr....it's makes it more frustrating since it's so damn good.

Oh man, my PC just struggled with this game and I built it last year.
System specs:
i5 2500k
8GB Ram @1600
GeForce 6600 3GB model
When it is set to "auto detect" most of the settings are on high or ultra at default with a resolution of 1920x1080, the game does run anywhere from 60 to below 20fps depending on the area I am in, also it crashes a lot. I really think the culprit is lack of RAM, this game seems like it really demands more than 8GB's on PC.

I had this same problem.
Talked to some dude in india or wherever on EA Help, and the solution was to go onto the store (in browser, not origin), and add a preferred payment method. If you already have one, remove it, then add it back.
Then, make the purchase (in browser, not origin). Worked.
Of course, I then went to remove the card from my preferred payment methods and Origin told me, "lol sorry can't do that for some reason, try again later? (i.e. please forget and leave it)"
You have plenty of ram.

So choppy for my 760 even with the updated drivers... and so much pop-in. It's sort of crazy.
Final build won't run this bad, after all, it's an unoptimized beta.

Nah, your RAM is fine. It is just because it is in beta. I have the same stuff (although my PC has close to the same specs).

Trajectory line is to aide other players. Makes it easier for them to spot snipers hiding in the sides of the map. I only wish the vapor trail was a little less thick so you can use it to gauge bullet drop in its current state its far too thick.
