Pirandello Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 After having tried the beta myself, I do agree with Maritan now. Nothing like MoH. Even more curious, this is probably the first time I've seen a flashlight used as a possible offensive weapon beyond being in the hands of Imperial Guardsmen.

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't think it's like Medal of Honor. And I can deal with Origin. But I do have a few things... 1. The game runs like shit on my computer. I'll try setting everything to the lowest and playing it like that. 2. I will not be giving my money directly to Origin. If I do buy the game, I'll buy the game from Amazon or for the console. EA should not be rewarded for Origin. 3. The server browser is garbage. Just because BC2 had a bad one doesn't mean it automatically makes this browser good. 4. I want my Steam overlay. I'm not happy about micromanaging yet another friends list when the Steam one supports more games and better connectivity. 5. I do appreciate the BattleLog stuff. And I've always enjoyed how the game gives you bonuses for being a "veteran" from their other games. I just feel like it isn't ready for prime time yet. It feels like Battlefield Heroes, and for a free to play game, that's perfectly acceptable. But on a $60 game? No thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I forgot how completely not fun this damn game is until you have ranked up enough times to start unlocking some decent stuff. Everyone I play against is 30 levels above me and wiping the floor with my ass. Edited October 2, 2011 by Mister Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) This game has "Brink" syndrome. Overhyped, called the second coming of FPS games, and not delivering what people wanted in the end. As it stands, if I do pick up a Modern Military First Person Shooter this holiday, I will wait until my floor mates pick both up. I will try both, and from there, I will decide if they are worth my time or not. Edited October 2, 2011 by DukeOfPwn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Why the hell did they choose operation metro anyways? It's such a shitty map and if they want real beta why aren't we testing vehicles for bugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a shitty map and if they want real beta why aren't we testing vehicles for bugs? From what I understand, Caspian Border was suffering from critical bugs and slowdown issues, so they threw up "Operation Metro" instead. I could be wrong about that, but that's what others have told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Just a heads up; Don't join any server that has more than 32 players or runs a different map than Operation: Metro or a different mode than Rush. These are "hacked" servers, and Origin WILL ban you for using them. That means losing access to all of your Origin games. http://www.reddit.co...modded_servers/ Edited October 2, 2011 by DukeOfPwn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Saw someone RT totalbiscuit on the matter. Total dick move on EAs part. Others have pointed out how Steam has VAC but VAC only blocks you from going on VAC servers. And given there's no officially endorsed Source servers the VAC bans are only if you are hacking, not the server. Thing is the only server browser I know of for BF3 is through battlelog. Surely they'd have a bit more control on what servers people play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 So I decided to download the 360 version and give it a go, just to make sure it was the game itself that I had a problem with. And I was dead on; although I had a decent time playing, it didn't hit the same high notes Bad Company 2 reached for me. I'm somewhat relieved because it's one less game I want to purchase, but at the same time, I'm kind of bummed out. Surprisingly, I think Gears of War 3 will be my top multiplayer game this year (surprising as I wasn't expecting much when I played, but really enjoyed it out of nowhere. Not saying it is bad at all). It's funny; I used to think this holiday season would be wallet murder, but as more and more games come close to launching, I take one look and think "actually, I really don't want that at all".

Maritan Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Guys, your posts look like they've been written by some 13y.o. crybabies. Even more curious, this is probably the first time I've seen a flashlight used as a possible offensive weapon beyond being in the hands of Imperial Guardsmen. LOL, yeah. I forgot how completely not fun this damn game is until you have ranked up enough times to start unlocking some decent stuff. Everyone I play against is 30 levels above me and wiping the floor with my ass. I hate to sound like a fucking elitist, but L2P. Also, good picture Edited October 3, 2011 by Maritan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Ha That pic is spot on. I have to agree with you on the lrn2play bit. Having no unlocks at the start may seem like an overwhelming disadvantage but I find it does a good job of teaching players not to rely on their unlocks to succeed and instead focus on smart play. After playing a couple more hours of the game, I'm starting to appreciate it and hate it in equal measure. There are some design decisions I love but some that I think are absolutely retarded like having no squad management menu in-game, separating battelog-made parties even when they're on the same team, having the flashlight and lasers on as default, not having a charge on the flashlight or lasers to ensure careful use, grenades defying gravity and travelling slower than a feather through air, needing to wait for the end-game countdown and then needing to deploy just to exit the game. And that's just what I can remember right off the bat. I don't know what DICE was thinking with these design decisions but it's most certainly going to affect my enjoyment of the full game.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 What if they have some sort of early testing period where they figure out what people like and don't like about the game and change the full game based on that? Man, if only such a thing existed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, if only such a thing existed... Oh! You're so witty! I can guarantee that very little will change as far as design decisions go. Sure, there may be some changes but the first patch will likely be all bugfixes and balancing and as is often the case with DICE, we'll be waiting forever for any major changes to design to happen and even then, we'll just get one or two changes and they likely won't be anything major.

Mal Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Some devs and publishers don't even know that concept exist at all. They fix the game a week or months after release... fuck, look at Final Fantasy XIV. They're overhauling the entire game after months of complaints with most of them coming from the time of the beta and shit. And... MasterDex beat me in replying.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 AK74U and PP2000 served me well. If I can regularly rank in the top five, so can you guys. Though I still despise playing non-hardcore. It feels like I'm playing Halo or some other bothersome manshoot. Like every other objective based game while pubbing, it'd be a better experience if dimwits did the objectives. Playing with my wife and merged, we get shit done. Hey, I understand. The simulated resistance of your penis-length blade dismantling all sorts of material to take someone's life is neat-o. So neat-o. How about you do that by the objective that isn't already destroyed.

The simulated resistance of your penis-length blade dismantling all sorts of material to take someone's life is neat-o. So neat-o. How about you do that by the objective that isn't already destroyed. Let's not forget the fact that while sneaking all the way up to the enemy base to spawn kill defenders is all well and good, and could in fact see you rank near the top of the leader board for that match, you would in all likelihood score far higher if you got off your arse and actually armed an objective so that the round can continue a little longer. I don't think people get that the defenders do not have tickets. You can sit there for an eternity and kill defenders and never win a round. Every time someone dies on your team, you are one step closer to defeat. I'd love to see the winning side get double their points instead of a measly 500 extra. It would encourage people to actually complete the objectives rather than sitting back and protecting their K/D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well, of my biggest complaints some of them I'm very sure will be available by the time release. (This is the Xbox version) 1)Forming a squad with your friend then joining a game simply doesn't work. Half of the time you'll be lucky if you are in the same game, on the same team. Then, if you leave a squad to join the other, you end up on the same squad you just left. Its frustrating to say the least. 2) Falling through the ground... This is physically impossible unless your a ghost in the real world 3) The second rockets for both Russian and American armies doesn't fire... at all. It does do the firing animation, but nothing comes out and your ammo never gets depleted. The following are things I hope will get fixed, but probably wont. 1) Stick sensitivity, it catches the slightest movement. This is the only game where when I take my hands off my controller, my character keeps turning slightly, or moving slightly. This is especially frustrating when you try to put your bi-pod out only to find that you are moving ever so slightly that you can't. Turning down the sensitivity in the menu doesn't affect these slight movements. I have to correct the sticks with my thumbs. I would blame the controller, except this isn't a problem in any other game. 2) Rocket launchers: they don't explode on contact, and their splash is minimal if at all. Now some can argue that is more realistic, I wouldn't know, but you know what isn't realistic? Blinking lights on grenades. That is a visual cue for the play to know what is going on, and the same should be for Rocket launchers and their explosions. It almost seems as if the rocket doesn't exist, but the place where it hits registers a hit. There's hardly a sound at all. Bad Company 2 had perfected the rocket explosions/splash. And here is my list of things that 100% will not come true, but boy do I wish they did: 1) Full 64 player co-op on Xbox... I could play it on my PC, but all of my good friends don't know what a gaming PC even looks like. Plus, my laptop only scratches above the minimum requirements. I am really enjoying the game, and hope that they will fix the major issues. Day one buy for me, I'm loving it. Also, people need to learn to play BF, as was said above, BF is not about your K/D its about working as a team. This doesn't really register with most players.

Yantelope Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Why do people get 5 rockets too? Seems a bit OP to me. I was taking cover hoping to get away and the rockets just keep coming and coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 As madbassman was saying, the splash damage on rockets isn't very large. I play almost exclusively engineer. Just don't get hit with a head-on or nearly head-on strike. They're good(in the only map we know) for clearing hallways too far away for a grenade. That's about it.

What's the damage against vehicles like though? They may have nerfed the damage against infantry to avoid a repeat of the spamfest of BC2.
