Holy fuck! falling through the floor on Operation Metro is starting to piss me off

Yeah, had a few rounds where the happened. It's an insta-win for the attacking team.

 

[Finncognito]

The timer is from a fansite, it's not official.

 

[theb0xmIke]

Ugh come on!!!! I was just want to play dice!

 

[Snkfanatic]

Tried to get into a Caspian server last night. They must have changed the password or something, every US server I tried the sexyelevator password on wouldn't work. Had more fun on metro though

So do I need to download Origin in order to get the PC open beta?

Yes.

Yes.

 

[Longshot]

So do I need to download Origin in order to get the PC open beta?

Yep.

Don't worry, though, it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

 

[djm]

Have they given an explanation for why they are keeping the Caspian servers password protected in the first place? I know at one point they said they're for "internal testing", but who is constantly leaking the new passwords besides their CM who is also doing it on Twitter? I don't get it.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Apparently the beta will shop up in the free games section in Origin so yes you need it to play the beta.

Dice like to troll the PC community

 

[Captain Bluey]

The xbox beta just hangs for minutes at the final loading screen. When I get in it is laggy as hell and totally unplayable.

Why on earth would I want to get this game based on the beta?

Considering the game crashes every time the round ends, it's understandable.

 

[Rainy Dog]

It seems to occur if you repeatedly press spot with no one to spot at your crosshair location. I guess there is some kind of cooldown mechanic to prevent you from just spamming Q while checking the horizon and the beep is a cooldown warning sound.

Makes sense, thanks.

 

[Spookie]

Man that shotgun is hilarious. I'm disappointed I've only just discovered it now.

Timer

That's showing 7 hours for me . I hope it's not right, I'm at home today and thought I'd get to play all morning.

 

[Ikuu]

Little worried about the state of the beta when the game is so close to launching, honestly doesn't feel like much of an improvement over the alpha, and seems to have a few more bugs than I saw in alpha.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Password was Appletini this morning.

Thanks! I will try it when I get home

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Yep.

Don't worry, though, it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

It is.

I keep getting friend requests from the same people over and over who are already on my friend list.

 

[NaughtyPrawn]

Well the timer is saying 7 minutes now for me so we won't have to wait long to find out.

 

[FGMPR]

Thanks! I will try it when I get home

videokilledtheradiostar is the latest.

 

[Mush]

IDK about you guys, but I've had a near-flawless beta experience so far. Just one disconnect in 3 hours of gameplay. No falling through the ground, nothing.

I meant in regards to it being spyware/malware.

Yesterday I had more problems than Tuesday, lots of falling through the ground outside on Metro. Went to a new server and it seemed fine

Yay downloading! Download speed is really nice for something so popular. Although the fact that it's early morning in the US might help.

[Cardigan]
