Angarak Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Wouldn't even install for me. Word on the street is it won't run on XP. It wont run on XP Rob as the game doesnt support DX9 (XP's limitation), you need an Operating System that supports DX10 or DX11 (Vista or Win 7 - I'd recommend the latter!). I've played the beta on the PC, the Origin Client (formerly EA download manager) is pointless as you dont play via that, that acts basically as a shortcut to launch your web browser (which requires a special plugin) that loads their touted BATTLELOG, which is basically an external Server Browser and Statistics Portal rolled into one. This means that the web browser is running in the backgroung consuming resources whilst you play the game. I dont see the point of BattleLog to be honest, they could easily have those features in game like they do now in Bad Company 2. Other things Im not a fan of are: :: It plays more like Call of Duty than other BF games (atleast, thats the impression Metro gives you) :: You can join squads, but your cant choose which squad to join (makes it hard teaming up with mates) :: You cant leave the server or edit the options to customise your settings UNTIL you DEPLOY in game. I've played both Metro and Capsian Edge before they pulled the servers down, Metro made me want to cancel my pre-order, but I really enjoyed Capsian Edge....the jungle areas are amazing. Graphics wise they are good but not setting a new level like Crysis did when that was first released. I believe the reason people where falling through the map when proning/dying was due partly to the destruction of landscape, they have turned this off on the PC and say it will be fixed in retail version.

creative Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 had my first real session on it last night on the PS3.... and I really enjoyed it! I love the way people are cancelling their orders based on a beta. only played Metro atm. Its not a great map but I have played far worse. I defo think I may be getting this when it is released. but it aint no socom! ftmfw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 So far I played 4 hours and I paid for the pre-order already. I love it, and that is only half the game as there is no tanks or jets yet in the beta. My screen name is chinamanuk on PC if anyone wants to try the drop zone to link up. The game runs perfect on my computer but some server lag very badly, I didn't know you can choose server for the first 3 hours. I thought the game only allows you to do random games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Oh dear... Ps3 servers are down now. Just as I was kicking some arse as well! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Confirmed by DICE, there will be no ingame squad management on PC. You have to manage squads in Battlelog (web browser) before joining a server!!! https://twitter.com/#!/zh1nt0/status/120072134226751488 An absolutely retarded decision.
