Well, we're here to test the game, so I completely expected a laggy sluggish game at first. And from what I hear, there's no difference from medium settings compared to high.
 
Anyone looking to get more FPS, use DX9.

Documents/BFBC2Beta/settings.ini and change the DX version from auto to 9.

Got me an extra 10 frames with no graphical difference.
 
Fraps works for me.

And you can still force AA through the Nvidia-ATI control panel.
 
pewwww 14,000 @ end of round. only wish I wasn't maxed out at 11. Woulda been like a free level.

Anyone got some high scores to share?
 
Tips from a veteran BC1 player, with over 300 hrs logged as a sniper and over 200 as specialist (the old SMG class): Dont run out to the open. ALWAYS stick to cover, and try to get to a flanking position where the enemy cant see you. Whoever gets the first shot always wins. try to avoid heavily covered chokepoints such as the road on the first 2 crates, go down into the treeline and shoot some fellows while you make your way down with your squad.
 
I'm loving the game now. It took me a while to get it running smoothly on my relatively old gpu's (2x 8800GT SLI). I actually had better performance in dx10 (very odd). I just picked up a joystick and am having a lot of fun flying the helicopters! The yaw is reversed right now but that will for sure be fixed in the final version. This game is good enough for me to get a new gpu... cmon nvidia release fermi already!

PANAMA CANAL
Units in contact are being rotated out as a result of combat fatigue. Weeks
of fighting have left the harbor in ruins and the surrounding area littered
with destroyed equipment. Armored movement is hampered and deadly kill
zones mare the ground. U.S Forces are staging an assault of the industrial
port with the objective to seize, retain and exploit the area. Control of
the canal will allow larger-scale Strategic Operations along the South West
Pacific coast.

VALPARAISO VILLAGE
The American capture of Valparaiso is the next phase in their strategic
plan to repel Russian Forces from Chile. Any U.S. invasion will inevitably
consist of a land assault through the outlying jungle areas and an
amphibious landing of infantry and armored forces along the coast. The U.S
objective is the Power Station on the outskirts of the city. If the
installation can be captured and services cut off, the liberation of the
city will inevitably follow suit.

LAGUNA ALTA
Several days ago a large Russian counter attack overran U.S. Camp
"Christopher" and destroyed a supply train carrying vital equipment. U.S
Forces are mustering to recapture the area. They are trying to establish a
buffer zone near the woodlands so their Battle Group can move unimpeded
across the bridge connecting the opposing high ground. Intelligence reports
and Recon patrols have exposed a large number of Russian troops and IFV?s
that have reinforced the camp since the attack occurred.

ISLA INOCENTES
U.S. Forces are desperate to open a supply route for an Armored Battle
Group engaged in fighting further inland. A Russian Artillery base
controls the area and counters any breakout actions launched. The base is
well defended and has been successful in repelling previous attacks.
Destruction of the base and control of the woodlands will allow U.S
Amphibious Forces to land and open a second front, which is critical in
their plan to liberate South America.

ATACAMA DESERT
A Russian Naval Group is preparing a massive amphibious assault. Defending
the shore are 3 U.S fortifications and a string of artillery defenses.
Should the Russians establish a beachhead and overrun U.S. positions, they
will be free to advance further inland. With weather deteriorating and
sandstorms approaching, U.S. Command has consolidated all available forces
to meet the Russian threat. As a result of the open ground, a large-scale
armor battle supported by attack helicopters seems likely.

ARICA HARBOR (ps3 beta map)
Following the results of the armor assault at Atacama, U.S Command insists
on a similar action to capture the port of Arica. The assault group will
launch a "break through" action directly at the Russian base. If the fight
dictates, the Battle Group will cut directly through the town located on
the axis of advance. Collateral damage is of no consequence. The Russian
base must be destroyed in order to cross the desert and reach the port.
Heavy casualties are expected on both sides.

WHITE PASS
As the weather has cleared and snowfall relented, Russian Forces are
massing for an assault on White Pass and the satellite relay station
located there. The local town has not been attacked, but Russian units have
probed defenses in the surrounding woods. The sector has strategic value to
U.S Forces as it allows control of inland routes. Should the area fall into
Russian hands, a line of advance will present itself directly to Nelson
Bay.

NELSON BAY
Winter has hit hard. The river has frozen allowing heavy equipment and
personnel to operate throughout the sector. However, the extreme weather
and surrounding woods make it unlikely that any assault will consist of
heavy armor. Satellite reconnaissance indicates Russian Special Forces and
airborne units have been pulled away from South America and are gathering
on mass. A nighttime assault is eminent. Nelson Bay harbors an underground
U.S submarine base that will be defended at all cost.

LAGUNA PRESA
The valley and surrounding mountains possess a strategic value in the
battle for South America. Construction of the nearby Dam was halted when
hostilities broke out, but its presence is still a significant factor.
Airborne operations are limited but infantry assault supported by light
armor vehicles is likely by both armies. U.S Forces are massing all
available units to stage a defense and have wired the dam to prevent it
from falling into Russian hands.

PORT VALDEZ (pc beta map)
Russian Forces are posed to attack the harbor in an attempt to seize the
Trans Alaskan Pipeline. Without regard to arctic conditions, the area has
been probed by Russian Pathfinders indicating an airborne assault is
planned. U.S interrogation of captured Russian paras revealed that MBTs
will be, or have been, airlifted into the area. All armor assets and attack
helicopters are being diverted to the sector. No fallback exists for either
side. This engagement will decide the outcome of the war.
