They removed the LAV from the Beta (on Xbox 360 atleast) , maybe because it kept getting stuck in the Alpha.

..once again, not impressed by the graphics. I doubt it, but hopefully it improves with the actual game. Still its battlefield so it's fun regardless.

Heck I get that in any BF, just restart your xbox.. works for me 99% of the time. (if your on xbox that is..)

The matchmaking is temperamental
The Invite Friends to Squad
you often when you spawn you spawn in black and white
Sound system glitches
rendering can be slow
If you die while in a thermal scope the kill cam is in thermal (pretty cool actually)
UMP 45 Submachine gun (hardly a sub machine gun, this gun is a monster, that can take out snipers, more effectively than assault rifles!!!)
Grenade Launcher is under powered (a grenade is more powerful and that can't destroy walls)
un balanced weapons
can glitch when climbing over stuff
No ingame squad invite
Very little to destroy in Metro
Vehicle was removed from Metro
The gadget, attachment menus are not as quick and easy to use, as BBC2
Some Attachment lack purpose

This.


I'm in amazement that I can see my lower torso and below. It has been a pet peeve of mine in the Call of Duty series.. Well, in any FPS actually. I find myself looking down randomly all the time just because of this.

After ranking up to 6 in the beta this is my list of pros and cons:

Pros:
-Actually had some fun playing it
-Like the new weapon unlock system, very nifty once you understand it.
-guns are good.
-sound effects are fantastic*
-movement is much more fluid and polished than BC2

Cons:
-Graphics are average on the console, I guess the maps are huge, but really the texturing imo is worse than BC2.
-Glitchy as all hell here are a few examples below:
+Map is full of quicksand and half the team often ends up stuck underneath.
+Guns sometimes won't let you aim down sight
+Screen flashes random colours
+*Sound cuts out partially for the rest of the game.
+Animations sometimes don't work.
+Prevents you from sprinting often
+Gives you random weapons
+get hit markers but does no health damage.
+sometimes gun doesn't shoot
-Spawns are horrible, spawn camping is annoying.
-Lag is outrageous, possibly not in America.
-random lines going to a vertex in the sky (looks very cheap and rushed).
-They reduced health so its 2-3bullet kill like cod, but I don't think this really works with the battlefield team based play too well.

Sure they are going to fix most of the glitches before release, that's what the beta is for. But damn, they are cutting it fine to fix this half finished game in time.
So (/un)fortuantly I don't believe this will be a cod killer, it had the potential, but DICE seems to have cut corners to get this thing out before mw3.
BC2 was far more polished for the beta, overall I think BC2 is better.

im willing to bet they did that so people would beg for a better version then bam

[Tracey]

I agree with GhoSt 100%.. at this point BFBC2 was better. (but my opinion may change when the actual game releases)

...and I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one with the sound cutting out completely during game play.

[Modded Matt]

you can both sit down somewhere JK I like it

its just a little glitchy it is a beta...

[Nevbox]

The Alpha didn't have as many glitches as it has now :P
