Battlefield Hardline Beta

Bro, you could give Fraps a try. It's very memory efficient

I've heard of fraps before but I'm not sure how well it would work on my computer.

My review is coming still, it's just been really hot where I am (close to 30?C) and my computer doesn't help cause it adds to the heat. So I should have it up by Friday as long as the forecasted temperatures are closer to 20?C.

My review:
First I want to start with I'm running the game on my PC and these are the specs;
AMD phenom X4 9550 quad-core @ 2.2ghz
AMD 780g w/700SB chipset motherboard
4GB of DDR2 ram
PNY nvidia GTS 450 w/1GB GDDR5 ram
640 GB 7200 rpm partitioned hard drive (15/252/348)
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit SP1
Also I'm playing at 1366x768 on high with MSAA off and get around 30-40 frames per second unless there is a lot of stuff going on then I drop to 20 especially when the crane falls. I defiantly need more ram though, 4 GB is not going to cut it this time.

(Crane after it falls)
This game is basically cops & robbers but on a huge 3D map. There is only one map so far (the one from E3) called high tension.

(Random screen of map)
The "new" game mode heist is like rush but instead of blowing up/defending m-con stations you have to either get the loot from the armoured van that crashed and get it to the extraction point if you are the criminal or defend the loot and stop it from getting to the extraction point if you are the police.

(Going to the vault in heist)
In the second game mode called blood money there are 3 stashes of cash that both the criminals and police are after. The police are trying to retrieve the cash and the criminals are trying to steal the money. Each side has a vault that can be broken into also. I didn't play much of blood money but it did feel like conquest when I did play it.
Also to unlock weapons you need cash that you have collected in game.

(Load out screen on battlelog site)
I did manage to play several rounds of heist with a total of 32 players, each round was 10-15 minutes long and the criminals have about 100 tickets.
So far the gameplay is good, the controls I have to get use to again but a beta update let me change some of them so I was good.
Since I'm more of a close combat type of player and my vehicles skills are not strong, my play style does not fit this game at all. You need to play as a team to win and use the vehicles to your advantage.
Overall it's a fun concept to play but I wouldn't pay $60 for it cause it feels more like a DLC than anything but knowing EA they will mess it up some how.

Just because a game looks pretty doesn't mean it's good. I played the battlefield 3 beta, it looked really good then at launch it had some bugs from the beta and then some more.
