Well is it something about omaha warfare? I never liked that scenario in any other game better than Company of Heroes.

^^ spot on, graphics graphics WTF! i dont understand this controversy. First people will ask for graphics that comes with near to insane requirements,

when the graphics is less appealing but the gameplay is, people will yell, "dat 60's!"

and when it indeed is jaw dropping, people complain about "4GB ram? an unlocked CPU? devs are such b****es"

need to stick with something for real. And we are talking about battlefield here.

Played the beta for 15 min. Keeps on crashing. Says Error: Something went wrong. Will try again tomorrow.

Initially weapon and vehicle handling did feel a bit different from BF3 & BF4.

^^Graphics wont change much, in terms of more particles/shaders/shadows , may be some bug fixes and lighting fixes. And its not pathetic, specially explosion is lot cooler as well as the physics.

Is it more demanding than BF3 ? Mine runs BF3@35fps when set to 768p resolution with high graphics. Should i give BFH a try ?? Will it go upto 30fps at medium ?

fixed now.


When the game will be fully out with all eye candies out, it definitely will be more demanding, i'm getting 48-73 FPS at ultra 2xMSAA in high-tension, with gimped lighting, reflections and aliased texture at some places, less particles too. But it will be pretty optimized that's for sure.

I only pray it has a good, GOOD long SP, Visceral please dont let DICE ruin it again, we know you are great, take the scepter and make like a king.

I just didn't feel it. It's an awkward mix of BF and CS, and for me, it didn't turn out well. They did improve the vehicle physics and collision, though it feels more like urban maps of BF4 than an actual city fight b/w cops and robbers, feels too deserted. I know they may have been evacuated but who the hell knows when the robbers are gonna rob a bank, and when to exactly evacuate all the citizens. They must add some city sound effects for some immersion.

They should've mixed civilians(AI) with robbers, like Titanfall to make it more interesting for the cops, give the robbers less tickets or something like that. This game feels too much like BF4 and it felt too much like BF3.

All in all, I'm skipping this game. Will wait for, hopefully, BFBC3.

After playing it for a while I just don't seem to enjoy it. BF4 is way better than this.
