First Impressions

Re: First Impressions

The sound, graphics and gameplay are absolutely amazing. Hit detection is perfect, unlike BF2 and that makes a world of difference. The ONLY thing I can complain about is that stupid blur when scoping in with a sniper.

Here's my specs/settings:
Processor: Phenom II 940 Quad-Core 3.0Ghz
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB @810/1000
Memory: 4GB DDR2 800 G.Skill
Monitor: 22" 5ms Acer (1680x1050)
OS: Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I can run with everything on high, AA/AF at 1x and HBAO(Whatever that last option is) disabled at an average of 56 FPS. Best score so far was 45-9 only playing Assault. =)

Re: First Impressions

I love it, The sounds, the graphics, most of all the feel, Only problem is the mouse sensitivity, but that can be fixed with easily.

Re: First Impressions

yeah, it's a good game, was having problems with the tank not sure if it was a bug, I was unable to fire the machine gun in the tank, or is it not included?

I think coaxail MG is an unlock

Re: First Impressions

Re: First Impressions

So, I managed a quick round in my lunch break, and I will have to say that everyting felt a bit off.
It was hard to follow a moving target, it was like everything was happening under water. And the Medic MG couldnt stay on target for more than one shot, dut to heavy recoil.
It may have been lag, altough the ping for me was around 100. And the FPS never dropped below 25, with an average around 44
Also the vehicle MG moves way to slow, you couldnt even keep the aim on a target at the roadside while driving by.

On the positive side, they have a very nice integration with the display on my G15 keyboard.
ETA: I found a picture of the G15 screen. There is one more screen that shows your progress toward the next unlocks:

This is the feedback they want, if they take it all in they will produce a monster of a game.

Re: First Impressions

I forgot to mention the killcam thing, it sucks. Show me a huge overhead of the battlefield not the guy standing there that killed me AFTER the shot.

Of course that woud show you the teabagging better I suppose.

I hate the killcam as well. The more you play the more you'll realise where players are killing you from (if they're hidden) and you can relay this info to your squad mates if you want. Do DICE really think that this improves the game in some way?

Re: First Impressions

I wonder if they plan on adding taunts during the killcam as unlocks...

Re: First Impressions

guys, are you able to see pings in numbers? it doesn't show server pings in the server browser and once you're in the server, pings aren't shown anywhere...

also it'd be nice to see some sort of healing indicators for when you're healing yourself to see if you how much longer you need to heal or you're at full health.

need to disable those intro splash movies... I KNOW its from DICE/EA i don't need splash logos everytime i play the game.

often times, i have no idea which direction is the frontline. people are running towards different directions, so it should be more clear.

Re: First Impressions

how the F did you make ping show? i can't see ping at all... do i need to open up certain ports?

You can see it on a G15 keyboard.

Re: First Impressions

Jack up the sensitivity if keeping targets in your sights is a issue. Although even at max in the in game settings, and mouse acceleration isn't enough at the moment. However if you have a mouse that has a very high hardware sensitivity level max it out and it will really change the game for you, or it at least did for me.

Re: First Impressions

Its not the mouse, it can now see that it works much better when I have low latency.
In fact most things works better on a low ping server.

Here is a tip for those who dont like the added realism of being snowblind: Bloom can be turned of in \Documents\BFBC2Beta\settings.ini
I also diabled HSAO in options and got around 5-10 FPS increase.

Does anybody else think that rush mode badly needs a timer? I was in this game that would just go on and on and on.....
