Johan Andersson has been answering questions regarding the beta via his Twitter feed. According to his Twitter profile, he is the rendering Architect at DICE working on Frostbite and future DICE/EA games.

His Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/repi

Here is a sample of questions answered within the last day:

BETTER TEXTURES:
Q: @repi BTW Could we hope to see better textures for release (you probaly have them anyway)? And I guess HBAO is this - http://is.gd/7raRn ?))
A: @Hotcooler The 'high' texture detail level isn't implemented in #BFBC PC beta. Is in the final release so will be a bit sharper

AA on DX9:
Q: @repi Can you confirm that the team is aware of broken anti-aliasing/hit-detection on PC? http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/380543.page
A: @DiscoBBQ Antialiasing in BC2 is only for DX10 & DX11, we won't & can't add it to DX9/XP?

HBAO OPTIMISATION:
Q: @repi Weird, started with all high settings and have been turning things down to suit for testing. A big jump in fps was the HBAO & med tex
A: @F2CMaDMaXX HBAO is a huge perf hit right now, we have optimizations coming in for it

INCREASED FOV:
Q:@repi Is DICE any closer to a decision about increased FOV?
A: @heromilkshake We plan to add support for it yes, can't say for which patch/release yet until it is fully implemented though
A: @GreatAllah We are going to add proper support for customizable/wider FOV, but have some bigger issues to fix first

CROUCH TOGGLE:
Q: @repi probably not a very popular feature request, but would it be possible to get a crouch toggle key? got used to it
A:@mitsuhiko Probably not that high priority, but we can consider adding it. Popular in COD or?

LEAN:
Q: @repi Hey, are the devs looking into adding lean support?? Would be appreciated by a lot of people!
A:@groc_xxl BF have never had lean, and BC2 won't have it

PRONE:
RT @locust9: Fyi we will not add prone based on anything. You can stop asking now.

C4 ON CRATES:
@TheMystic_ Takes double the C4 to blow the crate in the final game. Will see if we can patch it into the beta.

INPUT LAG:
Q: just come off pc beta for bfbc2, i cant stand it anymore, mouse lag FTL! i'd rather play the console for this sequel!
A: @Symonator We are investigating the mouse input lag issues
A:@Amalric I'm also coming in shortly to look at some input lag, perf & quality issues

SLI/CROSSFIRE BUG:
Q: @repi http://tinyurl.com/yesbsq5 Posted this bug on the forums. No replies though. Have you seen this before?
A: @wizzler87 Yes we are well aware of that SLI/Crossfire bug, it has been fixed in the final version

POSSIBLE MAC VERSION:
Q: @repi http://bit.ly/alDZie There seems to be over a post a minute on there, i hope this is useful.
A: @brandashmyg We are investigating if a Mac version would make sense / be possible

RETAINING RANK IN RETAIL:
Q: Will your rank and unlocks be carried over to the retail version?
A:@heromilkshake Don't think so

FUTURE DX9/WIN XP SUPPORT:
A: The Frostbite DX9-path is something we added for #BFBC2 specifically. Future Frostbite 2 games will _not_ support DX9 SW/GPUs or Windows XP

HARDCORE MODE:
Q: Any plans for increased damage? People take a ton of led, sure its not HC but still 1 mag..
A:@virre89 HC mode doubles the damage and can be played in all game modes.


USING UNOFFICIAL FORUMS FOR FEEDBACK:
Q:@repi Do any of you guys view the Battlefield section on the Steam Forums or only the EA Forums for bug reports?
A: @Crestopher Think most everyone only reads the EAUK PC Beta official forum


In other words, exclusively using this forum for bugs/issues/feature suggestions will mean DICE WON'T HEAR YOU.

I hope that clears up a few questions and eases some minds. I truly think DICE are working hard at making BFBC2 into the game we want it to be.

great post

now watch it get lost in the abyss of posters asking these very questions.

good post, i do hope they add a crouch toggle, my little finger is killing me

Crate repair, bullet detection? It can't always be lag if I'm hittin them from far away all the time.

good to read, but i was never worried about dice fixing things in the first place.

just the cry babies were.

hit detection is fine. i think you need to aim better. when you are running around firing from the hip at close range, you will miss a ton.

Yes, hit detection seems fine my end. Make sure you're not moving too much when firing. Also, find a server with a ping of around 30-800.

Hey thats me! he totally avoided my AA question.
It's still broken on dx10/11

Thanks for the share.

Interesting. Guess I'm moving to the UK board. Thanks

You guys do realize they say to post feedback to combattesting and the EAUK forums while in game on menu right?

I tried going there but do not see a place to register. I tried putting in log in for here with no luck. Not sure...

morning bump, there seems to be posts asking these very same questions already >.>
