*** PlanetSide 2 Ultimate Beta FAQ ***

Quick question, hmmm think i should upgrade my vid card, running a 250 nvdia now. Thinking about up grading to a radeon 7770. I mean im broke and this will hurt my account alot. But do you think the 250 nvdia card will be able to handle all that moving around at a descent resolution. Hmmm any suggestions. I had no problem with battlefield 3, nice detail and not vid lag.

Yea that could be a good idea. A 6950 might, however be a better idea.

But I thing you should wait until you play the game at release, the beta isn't exactly fully optimized.

I got an email telling me to share my computer specs, but when I clicked on the link it just comes up the usual "you have already signed up for beta" page. Help?

Have a good day!

:P

That is not part of beta though, and there hasn't even been an agreement page. A survey is not beta info.

I personally think they are being really conservative about beta. The true testing in PS2 is contingent on the servers and engine being able to sustain massive quantities of players. I don't know too many other companies passing out hundreds of beta keys on social media; they need server saturation. They want ALOT of people in this beta because it is required to give the game its "Ready for Release" stamp of approval. No matter who gets in first, we should all be in relatively soon.

That is what open beta is usually meant for.

That is for the open beta stage, closed is to work out the bugs, and open is to fix more bugs and stress test the servers.

Some moron over on Battlelog claims they have Beta access. I call bullshit, but thought I'd share anyway:
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...4489809792580/

I registered for it earlier and SOE just emailed me today that I was chosen. I could now finally download the game launchpad...

I'll update here on how the gameplay is...


later

EDIT:

I just got done playing it. It is an awful piece of shit. It has MAG-like animations, framerate of an overloaded powerpoint slideshow, hit-detection of stevie wonder shooting a gun, and the pixels of a gameboy.

Y'all gonna hate it.

Guy obviously hasn't a clue what a beta means given his "feedback", and it doesn't seem likely he'd get a key given he's obviously not a veteran and claims to have merely "signed up".

People still play BF3?

Considering the post was from yesterday, I think he got the beta system check email, assumed the Beta was happening at that moment, and made a troll post.

And so many insane clipping issues. BFBC2 was a significantly better game.
