Seen some of the streamers on twitch playing the Walker Assault on Hoth game mode, looks like a lot of fun & cannot wait to try it out for myself.

 

[iBeInspire]

I'm preloading and plan to play 3pm on the dot

How are streamers already playing the game? Exclusive deals for 'em, or?

I hate you. LOL
Actually really jealous - it's 20x faster than mine.

Need to wait until 1500, that is complete rubbish. I want to play NOW!

They had an early access preview of the beta for some select streamers.

Yeah there were some special guest keys that went out to start the hype train.

No idea why as there's only one extra game-mode and not an awful lot more content than beta tbh.. it looks a little more polished than alpha was, I'm hoping they add more stuff, as after only a couple hours I'm kind of bored of it...

I think there are still early access beta codes being given away, I just searched on twitter for battlefield code and followed the 'live' tweets stream and snagged one for xbox tuesday night and have been playing it. If you're really itching to start might be worth a shot

I'm really impressed so far, the walker assault game type is great fun!

Just played a match and I was getting 100 FPS at 1440P with maxed settings on a 4790K and 980 Ti and just to test while the video I recoded rendered in Sony Vegas I fired it up again and was getting roughly 90FPS with 7.6GB of system memory used so the whole recommended number of 16GB is total baloney.

I wondered if they recommended 16GB as people generally upgrade in power of 2s, 4, 8, 16, 32 and as it's clearly using more than 8GB would be able to handle they bumped it to 16? All speculation.

Well if you take Sony Vegas memory usage out of it then it was using 7GB on the dot and roughly a little less in single player survival and the performance considering it's still a beta is fantastic

I might pick it up when it goes on sale or if I can get it for cheap from a cd key site but no way am I paying £50 for a game with no real singleplayer campaign.

just played a little bit of it about 20 mins and my rig handles it ok
