Is it worth it? - purely based on the beta at this point

[LIMEY]

On the Beta alone this game is an absolute flop!

[Slaughter]

For those who don't have the beta (and thus shouldn't vote just to find out), what's the poll at now?

you can click on "view poll results" nder the poll and it'll show you an up to date version.

Thanks. Never noticed that "View Results" was a link.

As any new operating system comes out, I'm always WAY behind getting it. Why you ask?

BUGS BUGS BUGS

Things aren't compatible, crashes, things Should work but don't, etc....
6 months down the line, they will have fixed most of the bugs, and I MIGHT consider rolling over.

Win98 had lots of patches.
XP had their share also.

If only we lived in a world where everything Microsoft said were true...

i was referring to dx10 only games, such as crysis. i fully suspect that someone will find a way to defeat this, much as the folks did with Wine and directX. but, MS is being the stickler about it.

MS said they would not be doing anything DX10 related for xp pro/home. and said they would not allow it. the vista crack for XP is a great one though. i personally refuse to get vista until i absolutly have to. and if they can make this and other apps run on xp, i'm all for it. its the same spiel i gave when win98 vs xp came out(windows me doesn't count. its the bastard child of microsoft, and i don't think anyone truly embraced it, ever.) the eventual move will happen, but the longer i can hold off thanks to folks like those, the better.

+1. XP FTW!!!

couldn't have said it any better and y did we put a too soon to tell if we were solely basing this game on the beta? just a thought

This game does not play well with my dual ATI X1900 XTX cards in Crossfire config. I have to disable the Crossfire capability to play this game.

Another strike against it, IMHO.

It would be very interesting to see just how many preorders are now being cancelled based on the Beta.

just my 2 cents. I pre orderd this a while ago and played the beta for many hours to give it a chance. I was VERY disappointed. And I play many types of games not just BF games. I cancelled my pre order. The most you will see change between beta and final game now is maybe balancing of weapons blah blah blah. To late for them to re build the thing. It was a shame but oh well. With this being one of the many games coming out in the coming months one of them had to suck. COD4/crysis/front lines here i come! And it is a horrible game to be shout casted online. I tried watching team hot take on some team today and the game just can't be shown live. It was bad. I minimized it and just listened to the Game Caster talk about what was going on.

[GeneralSnake]

I am seriously only #2 to say it wont run. Oh well. Needs an uprgade, or maybe save up for some good amount of time and get a nice new system.

[Ghost_Rain]

Well i'm beging to change my mind about the game now i've played the beta 2 so yes i may buy the game.

Don't say she's ugly until she's rendered

Beta1 sucked. Beta2 is a lot of fun. Don't decide until the demo.

Its not UT, but it sucks me in for hours. If there are several great maps, it's bone fide.

I didn't like Beta 2 much more than Beta 1. They didn't seem to fix much of anything. I'll play the demo, but there's pretty much no way I'll buy the game, even at the $20 bargain price.

I am pretty sure I will buy it.

[CarbonFire]

I was at one point a solid buy....but now I'm starting to waver. I tend not to spend too much time with multiple games of the same genre, as I find the control schemes are often very different and only cause me a headache trying to remember what's what. If Quake wars was the only thing coming out (say, if it had come out when they were supposed to last year :P ), then I would have bought it for sure. But now things like UT3, Halo 3 and others are close at hand, which means I'll either have to forgo the others to play this, or just let this one slip by the wayside.

Which is sad in a way, because this was potentially the last game on the horizon after BF2142 that I could ever hope to play on Cain's Lair
(mumbles something about the stupid Hillbilly Net )

[tayeke]

I was impressed with how the game played on my computer. First game I've ever had that was optomized for my dual core CPU.

I can see how the game would be a "no" though, because I don't think I contributed once to the actual missions. I just enjoyed ploping down big tactical strikes on everyone!
