    So, I install the BETA, load the shit up, get origin going... join a server, and I'm presented with this bullshit?

    Nothing is laying on my up key, but the game is acting like that.

    I have a wireless logitech MK700 plugged in right now. Have yet to try a different board.

    Thoughts?

    I usually buy a magic potion from Gandalf, that should fix that shit.. Otherwise, do you have a joystick or gamepad connected? :pimp:

    The Beta is balls...

    There is only 700 servers worldwide (700x32 = 22,400 slots) and there was 1.5m pre-orders, you do that math. All of the servers are perma-saturated.

    The Alpha was much more accessible.

    I retract my previous statement, I have been been able to play and enjoy the Beta readily and easily. The server availability issue may become a problem tomorrow though when the Beta goes open for everyone, who knows maybe EA will add more servers for the 'open' portion of the Beta.

    Tryied it! i didnt have any problems with the servers! The i.e. browser sucks HARD my opinion is that it ruinned the whole game, you cant find a server to play even if you use refresh (cause the refresh sucks also)
    that origin crap.... is totally crap.. moreover i cant change my nickname in game and i have to use the master EA account nick..balls... i also faced a problem with my GPU (i got GTX260) and that f!@#!g thing wants me to get the beta 285 driver that i dont want to install yet god damn! and in game with high settings i get some lines in the screen when i aim.

    I only have to say 2 things! DELETE-DESTROY that origin shit and also the i.e. server browser!

    i forgot to mention that in order to change your graphic-audio etc. settings you have to be alive in game, you cant change them by the time you have died and wait to spawn.. also crap...

    +1 but if the i.e. browser is there also i really doubt.. the bad thing is that i already bought it.

    I have zero issues with the server browser and they added many more servers. I can find a server the minute I load up Battlelog. Battlelog is far superior to any other BF in-game browser crap. Use the filters and search functions within the browser and you can find a server in no time. Just don't hit refresh and hope to find an open server.

    Much has changed since the Alpha which ended at the beginning of August, you can probably expect the same for the official release of the title.

    For me much of the changes that need to take place relate to hardware optimization and most of that burden lies on the shoulders of the hardware manufacturers. But I think both camps (AMD and NV) are off to a good start by releasing beta specific drivers.

    Very little pisses me off more this indeed. However you can see in Battlelog that your EA ID is your "active soldier" which gives me the idea that in the final game you'll be able to pick a number of soldiers...
