BFV First impression

Post by Chris »

If you don't have at least a 9600 it sucks.
Action, what action, slow like BF
Tanks are sooooooooooooooooooooo slow
Fly right through trees
Not fun like DC
Flags take forever to change
Have to get out of tank to change flag
Dark Screen
Oh, did I mention if you dont have at least a 9600 it sucks?

Might be better when theres some peeps on the server

My 128 meg 9000 Pro runs it poorly at 800 x 600 16 bit color :(

Lunch Bag Letdown :(

Is it showing the proposed 30 Second countdown for a single player at a flag ?


I think this rule will help promote more team work , as you can arrive as a pck and take the flag so much faster instead of a lone wolf trying to take it ... Of course this also puts more eggs in a basket and will make it hard to take a distant flag while your crew is distracting the enemy ...



what are the system minimum and recommended Specs ?

I pretty much enjoy the game, of course it still needs some tweaking. Seriously, it is only days old now, wait for the first patch or two and it will be in really good shape, I guarantee it.

What kind of tweaking ( I'm living vicariously through you today my friend :D )



Gotta help work out the few bugs and let us know some quick set up tweaks to improve performance :)

Just mainly tweaking the video settings to get it to run smooth on my ATI9000 Pro 128 vid card.

On a side note, my son got it also, He has a 900 Mhz Celeron, 256 ram, ATI 7500 64 meg card. He has settings turned down on video. Looks decent and is running great. I was ready to sacrafice my 1.9 PIV MP3 player to him, but no need. Gonna bump his ram to 512 though.
