what's up internet Kevin here on tech of tomorrow now for those of you that are unaware one of the biggest things to come out today was the battlefield 4 beta now right now it is an exclusive beta only available to people that purchased either battlefield 3 premium or medal of honor warfighter or if you didn't buy either of those you can also get in by pre-ordering the digital deluxe edition of the game now those you that just aren't really do any of those yet it will go into full open beta for everyone starting on the 4th running through the 15th so I grabbed it this morning and jumped on to play a couple of games try out some of the new features and radical benchmarks so let's go ahead and take a quick look at one of the most anticipated games of 2013 so in the beta you play on the Shanghai map and you can play it in either domination or conquest mode which are basically the same game mode in concept is just that domination is a small-scale one with three points and smaller teams whereas conquest is the full scale map with 64 players at once now the main focus of this beta is to really show off this particular map and how it's meant to encapsulate a field for there's good mix of needing land air and sea vehicles all of which are useful and the level prominently features what DICE has been calling l'évolution the idea that maps change as the battle progresses well there's lots of little examples of the throughout the map the big key one that really shows it off is the skyscraper in the middle of the stage that if you shoot the supports for it brings the whole thing crashing down totally changing the landscape of the area as well as the tactics needed to capture it now that aside the core dynamic is still very much the same as battlefield 3 i'll be at the gameplay is even prettier and numerous little tweaks have been made so while running the game on our system which has an msi gtx 780 as well as an i7 4770k processor overclocked to 4 gigahertz we tested the beta on medium high and ultra settings which we benchmarked at 88-81 and 73 frames per second respectively now of course this is based on the beta of the game which is not properly indicative what the full title will be like once it's released a lot of this content has not been properly optimized and there's plenty of odd little bugs and glitches so of course we will run these tests again once the actual game is released now for those same reasons I don't want to go too in depth on the gameplay because as I said it's a beta which means you're never quite sure what balances and such are going to make it to launch but what I will talk about is just my experience so far that has been pretty damn awesome while I am more of a fan of the rush mode which bf3 used its beta conquest does create a fun sort of shoved back and forth match especially with the focus on l'évolution at the start of matches you'll see a lot of people relying in helicopter drops and big in air battles to try and get supremacy over the central tower and it's easy to hold it first since it's so high up and you can hold off enemy assaults pretty easy but then it gets really crazy if you don't have people protecting the base and whole thing collapses in levels the area turning it into an uneven terrain one new neat little feature that i noticed that i really liked to is that when you choose where to redeploy when selecting teammates you actually get a little camera you what's going on directly around them giving you a better idea of what kind of situation you're getting yourself into so you can act right away after spawning so this is just a quick little recap of what we've gotten to see so far in the beta those of you that can't wait to try it out for yourselves as I said earlier you can get in on the action today by pre-ordering the digital deluxe edition of the game if you don't already qualify or you can wait until October fourth for it to go full open beta and get a taste of what the game will be like when it finally launches on the twenty-fifth of this month and for those of you that have already been playing the beta please make sure to let us know in the comments what you think so far based on your experience is what changes do you like not like what things do you hope they fix or just your thoughts and feelings on the Shanghai map itself and what I might mean for the game in its hole once finally released now while you're commenting down there please go ahead and make sure to smash that like button to let us know how much you've been enjoying this content as well subscribe if you haven't yet so you can stay up stayed in all of our future reviews and unboxings including when we take a look at battlefield 4 when it gets released at the end of this month till then you guys been watching teka tomorrow i'm kevin i think you so much for watching and
