I'm probably just excited for the Beta to see if it confirms my suspicion that BF4 is a patched version of BF3 instead of a brand new game. After logging in about 100 hours into BF3, this thing just magically happened where I completely sucked at the game. Before I got to Colonel, I used to get top 3 in the leaderboards. After I hit Colonel, I couldn't even keep my crosshair on the target. If the Beta for BF4 gives me this same problem, I guess I'll save my money and not preorder the game.
Also, does anyone else find the reload animations to be really boring? I know its a moot point to bring up and I'm gonna get hate for this but COD does have interesting reload animations, or at least more interesting than BF4. I pay attention to reload animations because its the most interesting thing happening to my character (outside of popping into existence from my squadmate's backside), I swear the M40A5 became my best sniper rifle because I liked the way the bolt was cycled after every shot.
Edit: Screenshot looks nice but can you tell us anything about the gunplay?

I just finished my first match, it's pretty fun for a beta. I too think that it's a polished version of BF3, but that's not a bad thing. There is a ton of new stuff and mechanics that BF3 just doesn't have
how do u get beta? :o preorder?

Preorder BF4 or own BF3.

what new mechanics....
I have been playing beta today. Unfortunately, a lot of people including myself, are having performance issues even on midrange to high-end machines. Currently I can only get about 10-30 FPS on my GTX 760. Lowering graphical settings from high to low seems to barely make a difference. I am using the beta drivers for nvidia cards that is supposed to help with performance in BF3 but it seems to have had no effect.
I guess beta is beta. Which is a little surprising since the game is out in a months (even if the version of the game that we are playing is likely an older one). I will have to wait and see. I am trying to see past the performance issues, and I am pretty happy with what I see from the beta. Still, it is a bummer that the game seems practically unplayable for now.

ATI is choppy as balls.

For once I agree with tp4
In BF3, I had everything on low except for draw distance and maybe on other setting. Playing on high puts you at a slight disadvantage due to the fog effects. And I'd rather have solid frame rates than it looking pretty.

I did mention specifically that lowering graphical settings from high to low had no effect (neither does changing the resolution by the way).
READ B4 ALL CAPS...
This is very much a beta issue and is not about not choosing the right graphical settings. Like most people , I also prioritize performance. But that has nothing to do with what we are talking about here.
I didn't play BF3 but thinking of picking this up. Conveniently, it's also past time to upgrade my system.
im having no performance issues, but my rig is pretty ridiculous, getting over 150 frames on my 780s with everything turned up
that being said, feels like battlefield 3.01, not loving it so far, but we shall see where it ends up

LOL....
Use radeon PRO...
There's probably also console stuff that you can do if you do some digging.
There going to be a pay to rank option again? Killed it for me with the DLC packs
I mean there has to be eh? it's EA
Finally, a game that is colorblind-friendly.

Grrrrrr...probably won't be able to get decent frames. Running a 6950 2GB but I have a 1440p monitor </3
Not really like the SCAR-H for the assault class. But then again, maybe I just like he AK12 since it came with attachments
The airburst shotty that support has is great for clearing snipers off of roofs.Not really like the SCAR-H for the assault class. But then again, maybe I just like he AK12 since it came with attachments
I lied, I'm warming up to it once I started getting unlocks for it.
Also, not really loving the battle packs. I just got my first one and it was 2 attachments and a 25% XP boost. I'd rather just have an unlock tree like in BF3 for weapons.
Edit 2: The M26 mass is a pretty nice shotgun for domination.
The optimization is absolutely horrendous. I could max BF3 (AA on 2x, otherwise all ultra) with my 570 and i5 2500k and get a steady 45FPS, but I struggle to get the same FPS with everything turned all the way down in BF4.
That being said I'm pleasantly surprised by the game. I was expecting nothing more than a BF3 expansion pack, but it feels quite different.
Haha great..sniper shotgun
I can't play for more than 10 minutes without my PC hardlocking and having to hard reset. There's no fix. My PC is stable, it's only BF4 beta that is doing this. It's a big bummer since the BF series of games are my favorite.

this happens if you have rebound keys apparently, they are working on it, if you havent rebound anything though then that suck
Btw, is there a way to disable the "hold crouch -> prone" mechanic? I hate it!

Good to know thank you! I reassigned several keys because I'm playing on a hhkb. I'll switch the keys back to default and see if the problem persists.

Yeah controls > change hold to toggle
How do I unlock the ACW-R in the beta?
How do I unlock the ACW-R in the beta?
You play as the Engineer till you have enough score to unlock the AK 5C, then you use the AK 5C for enough points to unlock the ACW-R. Its a bit of a convoluted system.
Just played the Beta with the normal people. And I still feel that there are some lag issues to get worked out, though its not as bad as BF3 when you get around a corner and get shot by a guy from an impossible angle.
