A pony you say...

And yes PC is the consoles superior in every way EXCEPT for being able to sit on the couch while gaming...mouse/keyboard on the couch just never quite work as well as a controller.
Since your controller inherently makes any real FPS (eg BC2) unplayable, you got your lousy couch with a controller and some crappy game, we got awesome gaming, high-end chairs or couches and the world's best gaming experience especially in FPSes.

On a more serious note: since we got the first, emergency patch - fixed the server browser crash - I heard they are prepping an update/ newer build to be pushed out... anyone knows a date?
I really want proning and strafing while running plus DECENT TEXTURES, me and my 5870 is crying every time one of these console-styled butt-ugly leaves show up on the screen...

Eh, I never said I was a console lover (that's a downright insult to some!).

I have a 360 but most of my gaming is on my PC, just sometimes it's nice to be able to sit on a soft couch VS my compy chair.

it's been officially confirmed via twitter that the beta is an older build of the game, HBAO is not the final version, and the high quality textures were not included. also, they claim their is hardly any optimization to the graphics engine so FPS is low atm.

YES, that is correct, HIGH QUALITY TEXTURES, and possibly other HQ settings, WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BETA. you can also expect better FPS under medium and low settings than you're currently getting.
Why would they remove HBAO? It's such a wonderful feature. I mean I know a lot of people can't run it with slower video cards but why would they gimp the people who can actually run HBAO well?
mot removing hbao, retail has newer version in retail

DKS I had/have serious problems with the .21 drivers with BC2. Constant crashes using them. I ended up upgrading to the beta drivers out and it resolved all my issues. I would check those out while your at it. They seem stable and you can always go back if you have more issues.
Went to the beta drivers last night and played for several hours with no BSOD. Thanks.
BSOD came back. After researching BSOD locale 4105 error, it points to the video drivers. Went into control panel and hooked it to BF:BC2. Played some intense light and audio and no BSOD. Maybe, just maybe it's fixed.

The game browser is unacceptably slow... it takes forever to load the server list. WTF is up with that?

I also understand why there are no prone, preventing glitches and dolphin jumping and all, but for recon players this is a serious problem.

Otherwise it's worth the 31$ I payed at g2play.net using a coupon and some points. Wouldn't have paid 50$ though.

Ahhh they said that the server browser was just thrown together for the beta and was not even close to what it was going to be in the full version. This is the problem with developers releasing beta's to the public. People cant seem to understand that the beta is not the final version no matter how many times it is mentioned.

There's a difference between alpha, beta, and final product. A beta is suppose to be about 90% identical to the final product, and is meant balance and correct bugs.

I highly doubt they'll have made one that is radically different.

You are confused, I think: beta in software development means close to the final product in features, UI etc - everything except quality. Hence it's called BETA, not RELEASE CANDIDATE.

30-45 seconds for me, which is unacceptable. Hits need to appear instantaneously, like TF2 or other real made for PC games. The browser screams of lazy console port. No way to filter results by Ping, name, player count, etc... this better change.

I leveled to lvl9 and I have to admit it's a lot of fun, but vehicles are disgustingly overpowered. The Apache isn't as control-sensitive as BF2, you can't do the same things I did in BF2. I suppose jets will appear later, I hope they go better.

Specialization unlocks are fun, but some are overpowered. My X12 M24 can really do damage from a distance, it's almost unfair. Though sniping is a lot more skill-oriented than in any COD games.

It's a bit too arcade for my skills, but it was worth the price paid.

Get a grip. this is just as fast as BF2 and BF2142. And it gets faster over time.

Beta product. Previous games did that, so this will likely appear in the final game.

I agree. Sucks to get hosed on the ground by some heloweenie and NO WAY TO SHOOT THE DAMN HELO DOWN!!!!

Not as good as BF2142, but not bad for sniping.

Wouldn't be fair if it wasn't going to be reset. If you bought the limited edition, it will come with some stuff unlocked already.

The 1 reason I probably won't be buying this game?

Kill Cam.

I find it hard to respect a game that shows your enemy where you are after you've killed them. Especially if you're a sniper.

Nubstatus.

killcam is a server option, it's left on for the beta.

also, it's a hell of allot better then the one that COD has, at least you have to figure out where the person is based on their surroundings, instead of it showing where they shot from and where it hit you.
