After Vanguard? They’re fucked now.

I dunno. Vanguard looks a bit s**t imo.

 

[Ray Gin]

Only benefit is it gives me time to get my computer and get used to mouse / keyboard before the fun begins!!!

Lolololol

Been using mnk for 9 months now and I still regularly press wrong buttons 🤣

Just in time for me to go back to work. Ffs.
Glad it's been bumped back tbh, she now wants to go away for half term (the original release date)

It's my birthday on the Monday after release now so might just have to have a long weekend....

how does the open beta work then? I've purchased the gold edition game from PSN, do i just log in PS on Wednesday and open up the game for 2042 for the beta to work?

Just found this - https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/faq

 

[AdDaMan]

is it just for a couple of days or a week or something?

 

[imprezaworks]

Isn't it only for like 3 days. The shortest bf beta I think

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Still no word on their new mode.

 

[Geddes]

early access is on the 6th and for everyone else it’s the 8th and finishes on the 10th. That’s what I’ve come across.

there’s no code for the beta to input on PSN as I’ve purchased the game digitally. The last times I’ve bought games and played the beta was through a code that I inputed but not this time round.

I downloaded it earlier, hopefully it's not a mess.

 

[Jonnio]

I forgot we're in BST so it starts at 08:00.

Was gonna sneak an hour or so on it before heading out, might get 20 mins to poke around instead lol.

 

[Jonnio]

It let's you click play but then I got a garbled "update your drivers dickhead" message. yessirmrbattlefieldsir.

(I've been running Nvidia drivers from ages back as they're apparently best for COD)

 

[Ray Gin]

I’ll be on round lunchtime hopefully

 

[Jonnio]

I’ll be on round lunchtime hopefully

Hopefully not too long after fingers crossed...

Just loaded it haha:

 

[imprezaworks]

Think I can download Friday am. Will have a blast over the weekend all being well. Warzobe the past couple of days has been A* hard work so nice to have a change

 

[imprezaworks]

Oooh headshot noise

 

[Ray Gin]

Some good games today, got a nice kill spree on top one of the buildings.



Overall it feels like it'll be a good game, few bugs they need to iron out though.

 

[Ant1]

Looks like it’s good for your camping style.

[Adamm.]

Some of those motion blur effects are really distracting. Hopefully they can be turned off in settings for the full game.

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice. Was it hard to see the enemy?

 

[Ray Gin]

The friendly cursor above team mates heads is too small, you can probably change this though. When a team mate is in your face it's hard to tell the difference.

Had a nice 610m sniper headshot against some bot. The sniper you get is weak as piss though. I had 3x body hit markers on one guy and even a headshot hit marker on another.

 

[Ray Gin]

And when I say headshot hitmarker, I mean an actual headshot. 😂

You get colour changes indicating headshots and broken armour.

 

[Jonnio]

I'm cancelling my pre-order, its just too scary.

I didn't sign up for this.

 

[Ant1]

Game looks like it lacks loads of detail or have you both turned the settings down?

Looks fine (I turned off all the motion blur/etc after this). Mine defaulted to high settings.

 

[Ray Gin]

Mine defaulted to high but turned some settings down to medium. Not really looked through the settings fully.

 

[Cookie]

Looks decent. I never got on with Warzone, but might have to give this a bash. Always preferred BF games to CoD (except CoD1+2, those were awesome)

 

[R3k1355]

I've heard people saying the PS4 version is suffering frame rate issues, so maybe just too much game for the old console to handle?

Not surprising tbh. Those old jaguar CPUs are slow as fudge.

 

[imprezaworks]

The grapple with the sniper looks superb

Won't stop em charging good money for a game they know won't play for s**t on old hardware.

Like Cyberpunk all over again.

 

[Geddes]

I’ve had about 4 or 5 hours gameplay today and I really enjoy it but needs a lot of ironing out, it’s almost unplayable if your a passenger in any vehicle I have to bail out as it’s so jumpy. I think the map is too big, needs more vehicles like jeeps or quads to get about.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Just had two games. f**k it's hard work coming off warzone/cod.

As said above, being in a vehicle is almost impossible, was on the mini gun of a Heli and the pilots upper torso was floating in front of me.

I took cross play off so will try that tomorrow night.

 

[Ray Gin]

Had some decent games with Noddie earlier, I’m loving it tbh. The M5A3 kills so quickly if you hit the shots.
