"Battlefield Portal"
Beta has been installed, can't wait for the 7th now
Registered on labs and got a beta key, had to make sureYou registered on labs before?

Well we have an open beta to see if its worth pre-ordering, or buying it day 1.Every BF launch sucks, ever since BF3, pre-order suckers used at stress testers for game client and servers.
I will wait until early issues with game and servers are resolved, also let reviewers get real play time under public conditions.
Not the controlled conditions to show the experience in the best light possible.
Every single battlefield since BF3 has had this terrible launch experience.

BF Vietnam taught me how to fly, BF2 taught me why to fly.Battlefield versions ranked in order of greatness. A lot has to do with age and time of life.
- BF2: Took PC gaming to a whole new level with in game VOIP and squads being coordinated by the commander. Map design was epic. Jets and Helis had high skill threshold that were amazing when you mastered them. I spent hours flying Blackhawks over Mashtuur city talking to friends while being heavily intoxicated with Jack Daniels. Varsity marks suffered.
- BF1: The most immersive of the series (particularly the audio) and everything was close to perfect. Enjoyed the setting.
- BF2142: Similar to BF2 but added future theme which was fun and epic Titan mode which I still dont understand why they dont do something similar again with aircraft carriers or something.
- BF3/BF4: Good but I don't remember much. Levolution was cool. Maybe a bit too COD like. Operation metro and all that kak.
- BF Bad Company 2: Fun but no jets and smaller maps.
- BF1942: I still remember how shocked I was when I first played it. Map was HUGE for the time but our internet wasnt ready.
- BF5: Disastrous start but was fun in the end. For me the game suffered stuttering / lag which never made it feel right.
- BF2042: Disastrous start but was fun in the end. Pity that the community shrank due two the consecutive failed start.
Honorable mentions:
BF Vietnam: Fun single player playing with bots listening to fortunate son - didn't play multiplayer as internet was still crap in SA.
BF Bad Company 1: Console only.
Not worth mentioning:
BF Hardline: Skipped entirely.
- BF5: Disastrous start but was fun in the end. For me the game suffered stuttering / lag which never made it feel right.

I don't think there is anything wrong with basically thanking the people who signed up for BF Labs by giving them 2 days earlier access. Just means I am annoyed with myself for not signing up to Labs.More modern gaming bullshit
