Wow really? You're the first one to say this. I find it very bland and uninspiring. Did it grow on you or did you always like it?
If you do, could you post of picture of the different HUD visuals?
Yeah sure I might play some later and take some screens, if not I'm sure someone else will.
It's not HUD customization in that sense, you can disable elements.
No, it's everywhere, PS4, Xbone and PC

Never really thought much of it.
And in the game, it fades into the background. So that's why I like it.
You're speaking to a person that only keeps minimap and crosshairs as the only UI elements in BF4.
that's customization to me but I can see how that could be confusing
Yeah, I re-worded my post. The one I replied to was talking about different visuals, which isn't available.
Yeah I never really thought about visuals when I said it. Thanks for clarifying for me though.
sure you can loads of people are streaming and taking screens not sure if you can upload through the consoles though that might be disabled

The UI is stunning compared to most recent games I've played. Clean, fairly minimal. The font is great.

Thanks, maybe it will grow on me. For some reason it just doesn't seem to fit in the game, like it isn't very "Star Wars-y" if that makes sense. Maybe the minimalist approach will help

I've been complaining about this since we first had gameplay footage. It takes up too much space and is incredibly unattractive.

OK, I just changed my location on Xbox One to US and it worked.
So far so good.
So far so good.
It does look weird but in my 10 games so far it's super unobtrusive which is cool because there's so much shit flying around you.
Which brings me to explosions! how awesome are the explosions in this

Honestly you barely even notice it when actually playing the game, i kinda forgot what the hud even looks like lol
SO SO GOOD, the effects in the game are fantastic
I got a code on Twitter.

They are letting people in early with codes...there's a "code begging" thread about it but there aren't tons of keys available (at least as of right now)

Played a couple rounds on Drop zone. Need to get used to the shooting and leading tho 
So far its fun.
All settings maxed with TAA and 200% Resolution scale running at 1080p my 3 Titan X's are keeping this solid at 92fps. Bit of lag at the start but that's just due to load in. Haven't experienced any "rubberbaning" yet either.
Quick and terrible screen: (I think the small Aliasing goes away with movement)

This game is amazing. The gameplay is simple, but it's so addicting and exhilarating.
Also I have a BattlefrontGAF PS4 community up, search for my PSN (same as here) to join. I did assign it to the US beta as the game, so let me know if that prevents anyone in the EU from joining the community.

I'm interested in playing this, but likely I will encounter a "your computer does not meet the requirements" message when trying to run it. Hopefully I can tweak it to work though, but I'm unsure if I can do that within the beta timeframe.
Smooth. But there is input delay for me, which goes away when I lower the res scale.

played through a couple of Solo games of Survival on PC...I liked it
I tried a couple different blasters and secondary weapon options to test them out. Getting a turret out of the pods helps a ton because it basically means the wave won't get anywhere near you.
It auto-detected Ultra settings on my PC (16GB RAM, i5-4690K, & R9 290X 4GB). Here's a couple screenshots I took with FRAPS...nothing fancy or anything

I'm disappointed. It feels very Titanfall-y where the initial few hours will be fun, but then very empty and repetitive and boring after a few hours. Once the intial "OMG STARWARS SHOOTER" wears off i feel like everyone is going to go back to COD/Halo/whatever the big shooter is on consoles.
The snow map is so empty and lifeless.
Graphics wise the environments look great tho. Hopefully the retail version is much better
