Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
how do you know when your mortar call is recharged?
and how do you know when UAV is ready?
motion sensor only 1 active at a time?
can you heal/resupply by just holding the box and not putting it on the ground?
You can't zoom in when it's not, and scrolling through weapons with mouse wheel will show it recharging.
When UAV is ready to call another strike in? The orange box disappears. When it is respawned, there is no way other than walking up to the UAV computer.
You can only have one motion mine out at a time.
No you cannot, you must set boxes on the ground to heal or re-supply yourself, your allies, or your enemies.
im wondering what the deal is with having the value of points go down like the american dollar such as in the last game you got 2 points for a kill but now you get 50 points, you get more points for everything so then when you look at required xp and other peoples points you see numbers with lots of zeros behind them, its kind of pointless, they could have just kep it simple and small with the point shenanigans
Those lots of zeros is DICEs way of preventing those items from being unlocked in the game. The points to unlock them are actually a lot less.

Think of it this way; people raged when 2142 dared to award only one point for each kill; and give more for suporting actions.
If a kill was still 1 point, or two. what value should the support actions have? .1 for each heal? .2 if it was squad heal? .30 for planting a tracer; .5 for a headshot, .1 each repair.
You'd end up with maybe 32.125 points Instead of 3212; it's easier to calculate; and you avoid those odd stats like in 2142. Plus it looks awesome OMG 5000 points for a gold star!

Exactly. To keep the unlocks restricted in the beta - they just multiplied the requirements by 1000 or so. Pull off the leading 1 and 0's and the rest is the real score.
Most people need to remember that ths for is beta and secondly this is the battlefield series, but it is supposed to bring a entirely new feel to the gay. You can actually have a glimps of your health and if those who have played it can't tell I wont spill the beans. As for your team memebers they can see your health so hopefully they are healing you when you need it.
The feel of the game is 100% different and if you go in expecting this is 2142 it is far from it. A slight feel of BF2 x10. I believe most people want this game to be exactly like bf2 and 2142, but then it would not be the latest and greatest if it was to follow that. If you haven't played it you are missing out and this is stil in beta.
The downside you hear from alot of people are basically the changes that people are not ready for. The lack of hitting the 'q' button and choosing a spot item or a command. Then again this is Bad Company, it's a different game.
Performance wise many people think a XP machine on a Low end dual core and a minimal video card will play smoothly. There are some tweaks that those can try which can give them 20-40 FPS, but it doesnt work consitently for everyone. So overall everyone has had a different expereince and for most that get to play it smoothly.. it is one heck of a game.

Statements like this are irritating. Many of us are using fairly decent PCs and are still getting crap performance. I'm not using some 9500GT with a Pentium D. I shouldn't have to use too many crazy tweaks to get it to run on low settings. Turning of HBAO, I get. Drivers don't really support it. But having EVERYTHING set to low and still dropping to 20fps from time to time, while getting 30-40 the rest of the time? There is obviously something wrong somewhere.
The "It's a beta" thing doesn't count for much a month from release.
Other than server lag (at 17ms pings) and performance issues, I think it's great. The actual gameplay is good. There are just niggling issues like inverted UAV controls vs flight controls and things like that. Or settings not sticking.
On my dual core e5200 w/ a GTS 250 on vista I am running 40-50 FPS. Game plays fine no server lag or FPS and this one is wireless.
It plays just as well as my monster rig which I sit at 88-100 FPS
And it being beta does count, this thing is dummied down compared to what it will be. Every persons rig will play differernt, heck if I go pu t it on my kids rig with a 1900 ATI card I am sure it will not be as enjoyeable.
