    A mate of mine told me that bf4 keys are region specific now many have posted this question in battlelog forums but the mods will censer the post immediately. I always pay the extra money and buy from EA/Origin because if your account get hacked or compromised you can get a free account but you have to start over with your soldier.

    Not really. I think some settings were at highest and not adjustable. Not to mention highly unoptimized.

    Well I certainly hope that that's the case. Would be nice to see a decent performance boost come launch in-between their optimisations and Nvidia drivers. Although, that being said, I can't remember the last time I played a game where the beta and final release were all that difference, especially with only a month or so between the two. I'd need a 20-30% boost or so in order to keep it smooth.

    Well beta is beta. It's mostly for working out the quirks than optimization. You should see some decent gains especially since the options will be configurable, so you will just have to reduce settings a bit in a couple areas. And BF3 has improved immensely in performance since launch day. It did improve quite a bit from beta to launch too.

    First game where even the beta was unplayable. Bye-bye, Battlefield.

    The recent beta did not represent the game's final release engine it was also a beta or stripped down version of Frostbite 3.

    In other words, excuses for mediocrity.
