Don't mind doing it on Amazon, but is there a Steam option? And do the codes get sent immediately?

For the PC Game Download on Amazon (PC EA App) it says "This product is non-returnable and non-refundable" which is kind of making me hesitant.

There are no codes with pre-orders, save your cash. Someone here will have spares I'm sure.

Fuck yeah, should be on by default

 

[DaleinCalgary]

I pre ordered. Normally I wouldn't do that stupid shit but for some reason when trying to link my ea account from 2006 it doesn't work for the beta. This year will be a first in a long while I am not getting COD as playing previous versions seem more fun this year than the current one. The map rotation is extremely frustrating right now as if you choose a random game it puts you in Nuketown or Stakeout 50% of the time.

COD needs to die and be reinvented

Yeaaahh baby,just got this in my email..

Yep…just got mine too!!

 

[cash_longfellow]

Hey if anyone is trying to rock out some squad play when this releases add me. Name here is also psn cash_longfellow

Most of the people in my circle play other games and not really in for Battlefield. Would be cool to play with some like minded individuals and have a solid squad for once!

See above mate pre-ordering has no baring on beta access.

 

[DanielG165]

I'm gonna say it: I haven't been this excited for a new Battlefield since BF1. BF6 looks like it hits nearly all of the marks of what makes this franchise what it is. A proper BF3/BF4 successor, finally. I'll definitely be checking out the beta once it's open to everyone!

Says in the pre order you get beta access

 

[clarky]

Every one does, its open. There 2 days early access 7th & 8th with codes from twitch or if you were in labs.

I could be mistaken but that not what it says on the website or steam page. Care to share an image? might help some folks out if that's the case.

This is from the Amazon page, no mention of Beta access.

Think its just to ease the load on the servers.

[Sardaukarama]

I wonder when they will announce the release of those remastered maps from Hardline and BF4?

 

[TrebleShot]

I am so hyped I jumped on BF1 last night and did a stream, ive heard people say this is a mix of 1+4 which is amazing.

If anyone wants a laugh here it is just skip first 3 mins.

 

[clarky]

They said we will get a post launch road map closer to release.

 

[INC]

Probably the best overall gameplay, since they're actually playing BF as intended



Yes very bf4 Imo

 

[The_Mike]

So I got a bit hyped and reinstalled BFV.

I fucking suck at Battlefield. I prefer footman combat so I play TDM.

The bullets dont hit where I aim I fucking suck at it lol. Im so bad at bullet drop prediction.

 

[Dark Shinobi]

Am I the only one who isn't a fan of the auto spotting as soon as you aim at someone? It was much more immersive when enemies were spotted when you had to do it manually. I recall BF4 was like this and it made tactical play much better and the overall gameplay was less "arcadey." Especially with the smaller maps this would be an awesome feature.

I think it's just for sniper class. I could be wrong

Yeah, Drewski is one of my favorites. That tank run early in the video is peak battlefield.

Didn't know about this, I know BF4 had an attachment that does that, I was ok with that since you have to use a slot for it.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

For the console brothers it looks it will have M/KB unlike 2042. The Xbox listing shows it and I can't imagine PS5 would be any different.
Also the BF Labs tests has a gyro option in the settings but I could never get it to work but I'm sure that will be fixed for the beta?

Isn't that the Recon ability?

Nevermind. I see what you are talking about now. I thought you meant for everybody like the manual spotting was.

Not spotting as such I.e. no-one else sees it, it's when the crosshair goes on to an enemy, I kinda of agree tho, that's what portals for tho i guess, I think for the standard games it just helps with gunplay with all the chaos going on, and stops rumble and Bush camping and forces movement

 

[Dark Shinobi]

As far as I could tell (from all the videos released) as soon as you aim at an enemy they're highlighted in a very obvious way on your screen. Unless you're the sniper class I don't think they're highlighted for the entire team but it does take away some of the immersion. IMO as long as your teammates and squad mates are "labeled" during the match it's pretty obvious who the enemies are.

 

[Imtjnotu]

after watching all the footage it just looks the same as BF4 and i dont think im mad at it...

i will choose support and keep all you bastards alive

 

[Radical_3d]

I asked co-pilot if I should pre-order

I want you in the enemy team.

 

[whyman]

Seems like only portal will have a server browser, the main game will be matchmaking only.

I'll make a guess as to why this is

(this patent is from Activision but it's naive at best to think other publishers don't have similar systems on their games)

How to kill a game before launch. Let us host ffs!

 

[ValiantInstance]

Zampella is on record saying that there will be virtually no skill based matchmaking in the game and that it will prioritise connection. Exceptions being people who are literally retarded or play with their dick and balls on the controller.

We still need a server browser though, and they need to make a decision one way or the other on class restricted weapons. Having both is confusing and will split the player base.

Your getting the server browser in portal, now shut up. Basically.

 

[DaciaJC]

I remember when console players had to beg for years to get a server browser added back in after DICE refused to implement one in BC1/1943/BC2 because they thought they were, in effect, too stupid to comprehend how to use one and didn't understand the benefits of it, anyway.

Apparently they think the same of PC players now.

Truth be told, if a 9800X3d can +300 fps and a 14900K can do +200 fps, then any CPU from the last 10 years will be able to do +100 fps.
Anyone on PC will be able to have high frame rates on this game.

True. Pretty much a golden age for anyone with a decent PC.

Made me chuckle.

i have 3700x, 2080 super and 16gig of ram

ran alright for me on dlss quality

ill probably upgrade tho, if i cant get 120fps on mid settings

 

[Ar¢tos]

How many players max in this one?

 

[Facism]

Do vehicles spawn on map again? Please lord say it's so

at spawn and certain flags have certain spawns as well, by the looks of it

 

[Luipadre]

Jackfrags video was recorded on a 5070 at 4k ultra and he got really good fps so im not worried about the performance on my 5070ti at 1440p. Will easily get 120+ fps maxed out. I cant wait

 

[Baemono]

I never tried open betas but I might give this one a try

 

[Kenpachii]

I play these games on low setting for max fps, can't wait to play it.

BF games always on ultra. Its not a super competitive game and they always look pretty af

I really dont understand them here. They already have a working server browser in the game. Just let us use it for the core multiplayer aswell. How hard it can be... Why are they so stubborn about this

bf2042 worst thing is the constant, restarting match making every game, ive had times where you constantly join a half finished map, like 5 games in a row. its utter trash, i wanna play on map rotation, same players, have some rivalry etc

so dump they dont get this, plus peopl ewill pay for servers, theres a reason why bf4 etc lasted so long, because people had their own community based servers

Exactly. They listening this time so maybe there is hope

For some reason BF always did feel more casual to me vs COD

Maybe I dont feel SBMM is going to kick my ass for having a few nice games
