I updated from 11.8 and it now says 11.10, as expected.

*** Spoiler Alert ***

Don't read this if you want to be surprised by the beta...

Spoiler

--Alternate soldier names is not in the beta, as far as I can tell.
--Binding stuff to the mouse buttons is not working. Dammnit.
--You still have to join a server to get to the config menus.
--There are three severs showing in the browser hosting Caspian Border 64 player conquest. They are password protected.
--Going prone and crawling forward in the first stage of Operation Metro, I end up glitching under the ground texture quite often. Perhaps the new Catalyst drivers fix this.
--Still don't see a way to quit without spawning back in to the game.
--There doesn't seem to be a console on the beta. I see no key bind for it.

Geometry or graphical glitch?

dumb

hey guys we will launch early beta 27th at 8am
oh hey I have an idea we can send out keys a few hours after it starts
oh good idea, we can also make it so they can't download it until after they put the key into origin

GENIUS

I am just upset because I want to play, ignore me

By the afternoon my ass. This all could have been taken care of days ago.

 

[dfuze]

Coworker and I are in the same boat, now at best we get to start downloading after work, so good luck even trying to play tonight even if we do get our keys. :'(

 

[Homer Simpson]

sigh. at this rate, it wont be available until late this afternoon/evening when everyone is home and trying to grab it at the same time during the point of day when internet usage in general is highest. great plan.

 

[Stuxnet]

Typical EA clusterfuck.

 

[HendrixFan]

Looks like I wasted my time getting up early. 48hr early access? Looks more like 24-36hrs.

Time to check out www.LogMeIn.com! My home PC is up and waiting for me to input my Beta Key so I can start the download while I'm here at work.

 

[GullyFoyle]

I'm seeing lots of people getting their beta key from MOH on Steam now. If this is you, check it out.

It seems weapon quick switching is in the beta...:biggrin:

It's funny watching him pile bodies when people trying to disarm the Mcoms

Sorry for the newb question, but was he using a key bind or something to switch guns so quick?

 

[WhiskeyD]
