Mine just showed up. I checked maybe 20 minutes ago and it wasn't there. I'm sure you'll get to play more than me today, because I'm sick as a dog. :p

Yep, indeed, but I don't know if this is talking about the ones that I've got or not. I think they're talking about the problem download ones, I got the full ones that could be downloaded properly.

What do you mean when you say you can move "menu items" around the screen?

Within the first 3 minutes of the game I already discovered a bug from the Alpha, where you have to switch weapons to get the ironsight working. Doesn't bode well.

Got that too. Beta though so u have to accept some stuff like that to happen.

Just got my code. Way to go, you EA assholes. Was hoping I'd get the code before leaving for work so I could download the damn beta and have it ready when I return home later today. But no, I get the code just as I arrive to work.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
everything ultra at 2560x1440 except :

- Hbao disabled ( though when I enabled HBAO I didn't notice a performance hit )
- AA set to 2x msaa
- AA post off.

70-100 fps on starting area outside, with relatively few people.

560 tis@ 985mhz
2600k@4.5

according to taskmanager : all cores and threads were seemed to be activated and hovering around 50-60%

If they have any sort of ethics, they should give me a key as soon as they see the order confirmation email they sent to me that's dated 09/25.

Also, anyone who gets a chance to run the game on a GTX 460 or a Radeon HD 6850, please report back with benchmark results. Thanks.

Does it feel more optimized/run better than Alpha?

Thanks for the impressions, btw.

Absolutely! I have the graphics maxed out, like absolutely maxed Ultra with 4xAA all top highest settings and I'm running at 2560x1440 and it looks glorious! I don't know if it could look better because I'm still getting a bit disturbed by the flickering, but whatever Anti Aliasing technology they are using is just brilliant, the image is so clean. In the subway area I'm getting 120fps+ and that's at 2560!!! Outside my minimum frame rate is about 55fps, which I am incredibly stoked about.

Everything is moving and alive, the leaves, the dynamic shadows, the lighting, the textures are all crisp... now my system is pretty powerful because I'm running a 6990 + a 6950 unlocked but I doubt many people will be running anything but 1920x1080 and to be honest, I think it's going to be a lot easier to achieve 1920x1080 at high and ultra settings than people originally believed.

BUT, don't get me wrong, it still feels like a beta, it still crashes out of the game every now and then, and it's definitely not the final game, but it's come so far from the alpha and it's absolutely noticeable.

Is the beta on PS3 sharable?

It probably is, but can you also play together with the person you shared the beta with it? Or can only one person play on the same time? Or do you even get a strange lock-out?

Anyone?

Just got my pre-order beta key email.

I already downloaded with my MoH Steam key though.

Therefore, first person to quote me gets a beta early access key.

MiloFoxburr got it!

Just got my key about 30 mins ago. PC, preordered on Origin about a week ago.

Downloading now... Is there a GAF server or group I can join? Didn't see any details in the OP.
