Even people with beastly computers are having FPS problems so i’d say that is something they are going to be improving before release. What we’re playing definitely seems like an older build to what has been shown on youtube.
There are some small changes that are pretty easy to miss at first. Off the top of my head:
- Small medi packs and ammo packs get thrown at the person you’re aiming at so the further away they are, the further you throw it. You can chuck them things pretty far!
All sniper rifles can be zeroed with the Z key. The laser designator also has a range finder so you can use that and then set the correct range. The laser designator is also infra red so you can use it to quickly scan an area to spot any enemies. See’s through all the smoke after the building collapses as well and can be zoomed in with the T key.
If you go up to a corner, your gun will tilt slightly, when this happens you can peak around the corner by aiming down sight. When you stop aiming down sight you lean back into cover
RPGs lock on to laser designated targets (I don’t think this is going to be in release though)
Small ammo packs don’t refill C4 or grenades. I’ve never seen anybody use the big ammo boxes so don’t know about them
Its pretty good over all. The lifts are cool but they are so obviously just teleporters which is kind of annoying, I hope they fix that. The map itself is ok but seems like a major clusterfuck most of the time with no real rhythm to it.
I have read that the beta is over a month old comared to what they showed at E3.
I havent really found the map to be a cluster fuck, in fact I much prefer the way it plays – you have small pockets of battles all over the map which is pretty cool compared to flag hopping in BF3

Just a few plus and minus points from me, well more bugs more then minus points (Its also worth mentioning that this beta is a month out of date compared to what was shown in Euro Gamer and I am sure they will address the majority of the annoyances in the game – be prepared for a day one release patch)
+ Looks simply stunning (ok well it cost me £700 to upgrade my rig)
+ Levolution (gay name but hey) once that building goes – the visibilty of the map reduces dramatically plus the detail of concrete flying around your face when trying to take shelter – very nice
+ Squad play
+ The fact you can automatically join your friends
+ Gun models look awesome (although been playing assault class most of the time)
+ Gameplay – (theres not so much jumping to each flag, you can spend literally a whole game figting between two flags)
+ Choppers easy to take down (so I have witnessed)
+ The map is very large (I hope all maps will be like this)– No heal points (sure this will change)
– The medi bag seems to fly towards the injured player instead of laying on the floor (its quite funny to see it fly off like a bag in the wind)
– Revive – you need to be very close to revive, you literally get 3 seconds
– Levolution (when the building crashes and your on the building, it literally goes black and your dead, although im sure this will be changed)
– On the fence with battlepacks (i can see these being purchasable items)
– Tank splash damage seems a bit weak
– Chat window seems to play over your loadout screen
– Had on occassion 6 men squads (no doubt will be fixed)Beer hope you got a newish psu mate for you 7970 – i had to grab a corsair g800, uses totally different power
Now that might well be fun – cloaked inty! Brings back memories of mucking about like that in a crow!
I could be tempted to come back and piss about if they make these changes
