I use FRAPS too. It's always been pretty basic hasn't it?

What alternatives are there out there then that you're thinking of Toady?

Are you enjoying the beta then?

One last video : Full game

Watch the high pingers....

Bandicam seems to work properly with Windows 8 (and can record the desktop, unlike Fraps at the moment).

The demo isn't particularly wonderful and offers nothing new, beyond the so-called Commander mode, which isn't in the demo.

The weapon and attachment screen is a mess - and has lost the simplisity from BF3

I certainly wont be getting for at least a year...

Commander has been disabled for the beta at current, this is not a demo as that would be alot more polished.

The game plays and feels more like bad company 2 then BF3, improvements will come but the biggest issue at current is graphic optimisation but that should come in time.

Weapons and attachments is more cluttered though see what happens, feedback could get it back towards bf3, as for high pingers unless the servers set ping limits it wont stop them coming on.

I had a go last night. Not impressed, they seem to have taken a backward step rather than forward. They have changed the control system but it wasn't broken in the first place.
The only thing I noticed that could be positive is that the choppers are much easier to fly.
Weapon selection is a mess. They have added some way of talking that does nothing for the game and uses up a button on the control pad.
I know it's only beta but what a disappointment so far

Good vids thanks

I was not excited about this before and now I definitely am not. Will give the beta a go though when I can get it on the 4th.

I actually thought BC2 had a better feel to it, especially the guns. BF3 had better maps though.

Can I interest you in a copy of Call of Duty Ghosts instead

Looks like I need to cancel this game for now,hopefully it will improve but since I am not a real lover of this game in the first place I might just go for a Ghosts bundle if possible .

Problem is these P4 bundle packs hardly ever give me exactly what I want and there is generally a game I'm not blown away by in the bundle.

Saying that I thought a Playstation 4 ,Watchdogs ,Killzone Shadowfall and Battlefield 4 was a nice option,I know both Swanny and Toady are avid Battlefield fans so it's good to get some early feedback from those in the know.

I know it's only beta but this game gets released in 4 weeks and I doubt the improvement needed will be rectified for those Battlefield fans to be satisfied.

Generally what you see 4 weeks before a game release is very close to retail,game will go Gold in a week or so and start going into production.

All I can see with this game based on early comments is one hell of a lot of Day 1 patches.

In reply to a post by time2die:

So is there a possibility with my super fast fibre connection I'm going to have the same online wows as yourself matey .

Just found out I will be getting one of those super fast fibre connections before too long..well March 2015 . Still it's a surprise considering I am in a rural area and there are only 500-600 premises connected to the exchange. ADSL Max to FTTC
