Well, if it makes you feel any better, the game continually crashes on me. Longest I've been able to play was 5 mins w/o a crash. And when I say crash, I mean total crash. I need to reboot every time it crashes.

My home computer is much better than my work computer, so hopefully that will play better. Only problem is that we've been without interwebs at the apartment for about a month now, and the way it's looking now, I might not be able to play the beta from home at this rate ><

screens from my first play through.  set fraps to snap a pic every 10sec

for those having crashes,  make sure you're on the latest BETA drives for nvidia (if thats your card).

I installed the beta drivers before I installed the game, I was finally able to play for ~20 mins w/o a crash, though. Game is still buggy as hell even without the crashing. I was getting continual microstuttering, and when attempting to disarm the mcom station, the progress meter would get to ~80% and go back to 0%.. so I was never able to disarm anything. The movement itself is really funky too, and I'm also not able to rebind the melee attack to my mouse.

Very annoying bugs, overall.

I have a GTX570.  Fraps sayd 50-60fps the whole time.  Not bad. 

There are only two maps.  Metro for Rush, and Caspian Border for Conquest. 

Something to keep in mind though is we're prettys ure the graphics are locked at a certain quailty regardless of setting....

http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037802492&postcount=6993

the two screenshots on that post show no difference.  The download was only 3.5GB.  Heres to hoping for some much higher res textures with the final realease.  I tend to scale down settings when playing MP anyway.

I couldnt get the game to run full screen.  ALT+Enter wasnt brining it back full screen.  I was playing @ 1080p in a windows that was the size of 720p.

Alas i actually do have work to do.  I must get to it!

I had the full screen issue at first as well. Once in-game, had to go into options and switch it to full screen for it to start up in full screen mode.

^ did that.  Didnt work :(

I havent loaded up the game since.  So maybe it just needed a restart of the game.  Hopefully I'm done with work by 5 or 6 so I can play.

If you guys want to play with us tonite look us up on steam.  I'm in the FITES and VG steam groups.

So kotaku says "that the options menu can only be accessed when you're in-game and alive. That means in order to change your audio, control, or graphics settings, you have to find a safe place to hide first."

Is this true? WTF?
