We should be talking about this.

The closed alpha starts on Thursday, I haven't go an email yet....


I'm looking forward to it though, should be good, or rather I hope its good!

 

[Ian]

I'm really excited about this . I didn't even know there was an alpha for it, is it too late to apply?

 

[V_R]

You can try, but I think its random tbh. Which is annoying as I have BF3, BF4 and HL, and Premium for all three too, and I was in the BF4 beta!

It really does look fantastic!!

 

[V_R]

Well, the alpha is up for preload. Still no invite for me.

 

[Ian]

They've closed it to new entrants too, bah

At least Fallout 4 isn't too far away .

 

[V_R]

So. No server browser then....

'Matchmaking' WTF is this Call of Duty!?

Looks like BF4 was the last good FPS game EA make. What is it with the number 4? Ca;; of Duty went to **** after MW (CoD4) and now Battlefield has fallen apart with Hardline and SWBF.

/Rant.


I am rapidly loosing interest in this game with the more info they release.....

Just under 11gig DL

 

[Ian]

Cheers TD, I'm pre-loading the beta now to see how it plays .

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah just got it myself

We'll see if it works tomorrow then

 

[V_R]

Yeah pre loaded it earlier, though I'm not holding out much hope....

Matchmaking, no dedi servers, no recoil. low skill ceiling and apparently the first person view feels really weird so its only worth playing in 3rd person..



Edit: also new NV drivers for it: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

 

[TriplexDread]

My bad forgot there was already a thread oops

 

[TriplexDread]

Honestly I'm not surprised

 

[V_R]

Anyone tried this yet? Gonna give it a blast in a bit when I get time....

 

[V_R]

Yeah this is very average. Can see it going the way of Hardline.

 

[Ian]

I quite liked it, but I've only played it for about 30 mins. It seems like a good time-waster type game that you could jump in and out of, but it's nothing new. If it is on offer at some point, I'll probably pick it up.

 

[TriplexDread]

Never got the chance. As above. Uninstalled

Damn .

@TriplexDread

That error is most likely a Microsoft Visual C++ or .net issue.
