Not sure if it's the lag, but like most BF games the infantry combat is pretty average, jumping in a tank and blowing the shit out of everyone is pretty fun though. Also nice to see the awards are actually attainble this time, and none of the play for 400 hours and get everything else, sort of medals.

Edit: Seems if you get stuck in Searching for games, there is no way to exit it without quitting the demo.

 

[BunnyLifeguard]

Someone got a leftover EU-key for a poor bunny?

I have no issue with retailers offering a weapon as a pre-order incentive.

What I have an issue with is EA charging for five further weapons. To say these weapons will not unbalance the game is naive, and it sets a really bad precedent.

If these weapons are downloaded by the majority of people who play multiplayer (they will), what is to stop EA from only including two 'core' weapons in the sequel?

AFAIK the game will launch with at least 15 weapons available. That's a far cry from 2. This is just the natural progression of DLC. The problem is, EA includes actual extra game content in their LE versions of their games while virtually every other company simply gives you behind the scenes videos and artwork. But EA also offers users who don't buy the LE releases a chance to buy that extra content on the marketplace. This isn't the first time they have done this. One of their next gen Need for Speed games had cars you could buy off marketplace that were free in the LE release. It also had those cheats you could download, and that was apparently not successful at all so I have a little more faith in people when it comes to DLC.

 

[nevsan]

Anyone else got a spare key for another European? PM me with some joy!

 

[CaptainStrong]

How is or how does voice communication work?

In modern combat for 360 it was pretty nonexistant or not working.

 

[Skilotonn]

I just dominated a match on Oasis with 651 points... we were even down 4 guys and still won... this game is solid!

I'll be adding my tag in the online forum in about 30 mins, but in the meantime, my tag is DXLR8R - and yeah, my friends list is full... I'll see what I can do...

I forgot about that. I picked up a bunch of medals, but didn't bother to check out the specifics. They should go a ways to unlocking the weapons though. So I'll need to start keeping track of them.

What they should do is let them carry over into the retail game.

Spoiler

Never gona happen.

The medals are coming in real quick now!

Figures they fix the servers after I get to work.

I unfortunately gotta go now too, but man was it sweet!

 

[Pachimari]

I could do with a eu-key as well, cause there's a lot of guys in the danish community who doesn't have one yet. Just pm me at any time.

I said sequel, this first game will be the testing grounds.

 

[Keyser Soze]

If anyone has a spare key or two left I would love them for two friends of mine who are currently sad. No need to rush though, I don’t mind making them wait

 

[_dd_]

I've got a chunk of keys (50) left so PM me if you need any. (I've got a short time before work) After I leave I can get them to you at lunch, and then after work (5 PM -7 GMT) I'll hand some out.

 

[FFChris]

Not sure how I feel about this game, not bad, but it has been done before.. again and again.

Blowing up building is a nice gimmick, but sometimes it doesn't work and it does feel a bit artificial.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

How are the visuals, in particular the framerate?

 

[FFChris]

Visuals are excellent. Not entirely sure about the framerate, it certainally is no COD4.

 

[Skilotonn]

Gotta say thanks again to zaidr AND _dd_ for getting me and a friend into the beta, as well as the other cool GAFfers spreading the love as well - you guys are great!

Ranked up to Master Sergeant before I had to leave - I'll be back home as soon as I can though!

 

[_dd_]

Alright I'm off to work I'll answer al lthe other PMs later. I hope all the keys work - if they don't check how you wrote down the code, they should -all- work


I can't wait to play this game when I get home

 

[AgentOtaku]

Aside from the ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL SOUND!

....ugh....I'm not feeling this AT ALL =(
Don't quite know what it is yet...need to play more to figure it out...but It just makes me wanna play proper Battlefield2

 

[FrankT]

Thank you much, key worked.

 

[Tomcat]

dd is the man.
thx again

 

[radrelic]

why do I have to hold the thumbstick to sprint? so annoying, why cant these developers learn from CoD4? click to sprint you fuckers.

game seems ok so far, not really blowing me away. will give it more time after school.

This mechanic alone will make me NOT play the game! .....fucking horrible (>__<)

 

[Manager]

As someone said above, great graphics. There is tearing (which I stopped thinking about after the first minute, maybe it's not so visible except in certain spots). I haven't been thinking of any slowdown yet, framerate feels great to me. I'm not really used to 60 fps (COD4) anyway.

There are some strange shadow things, like how they can disappear and then come back while you walk towards something.

I average around 350 to the low 400s. 651 is insane!

As for the medals, I have around 53 medals already. <3

:lol Just ran into you in the last few matches. Too bad you were on the other team. :/ That village map is too small, so it's hard as hell to gain ground in it compared to the Desert level. Which is also the map with the most vehicles etc. So you should have more fun then.

Thankfully my team pulled it off with the last effort to defend the Monastery. Plus, lol@ you guys swarming in at the end like a bunch of ants. :lol

edit:
As was stated, the game is running much smoother now compared to earlier this morning. It's almost perfect, but not quite there yet.

 

[StickyFingers]

I've joined a match and loading it now too!

Where are you? I was online at that time but didn't see you. Were you hiding?

And the servers are fixed now? sweet, I'll jump right on to play this how it's meant to be played, without the lag.

 

[guidop]

If someone could be so kind. I could gobble up a beta invite

 

[Ikuu]

I thought the graphics were pretty average and the game is crying out for some AA, anyway graphics aren't why we play these sorts of games. Just had a pretty awesome round, spent like 20mins in one tank with this awesome gunner, basically driving around the map just destroying anything in our way, Support with Medkits and Power Tool is pretty awesome.

Did I miss something, but I couldn't see any defibs?

 

[Lyon]

Are any BF2 veterans playing this? I don't own a 360 but I've had my eye on this one, could be the clincher.

If anyone is beautiful enough to give me (My neighbor) a key, I'll be your best friend (I'm in the UK, does that matter?).

 

[YaW]

Hi,

If you guys had any key available, would you send it to me? i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

 

[Kuroyume]

I don't like it. It's not fun to play.

 

[jet1911]

Maybe I missed it but is there a way to invite friends to a game?

 

[zaidr]

So being a BF2:MC player, I'm looking for the med-stations...can you only heal from the med kits form the support class?

Oh, and how do you assign new weapons for your class (the ones you unlock)?

I am, overall it's a pretty solid console representation, damage scale seems pretty close, the dynamic crosshair is way bigger. The thing that pains me though is the way squads are done, not like BF2 at all, just whoever is performing well, or simply just alive is rotated in as squad leader for you to spawn at. You either spawn in your base, or on the SL. So the way squad leader spawning works ends up ranging from decent (someone in the fight) to utterly useless (a sniper in the middle of nowhere).

Go to the "Unlock" screen in the main menu and choose what you want to unlock.

Thanks man, looking into it. And about the healing?

 

[CitizenCope]

I loved Modern Combat but I'm just not feeling this Beta.
Tank after Tank, very little close combat etc...
Probably still a purchase for my big battle mp but I am a little disapointed.
Makes me want to play BF:MC again. Are people still playing that online?

 

[Beaulieu]

Any planes in the beta ? or in the game at all ?

 

[Keyser Soze]

I just downloaded the menu theme music from iTunes

 

[Andokuky]

I said sequel, this first game will be the testing grounds.

I know you said sequel but there's no logical reason to think they would drop the weapon count from at least 15 to 2 other than wild speculation. Again, this same type of operation happened with NFS Carbon I believe it was and that didn't mean NFS Pro Street launched with 1 car and 2 tracks.

 

[Community Forum]

Awwww it's up and I have to go to work lol.

 

[Pachimari]

More people from the danish community of battlefield fans would like to have a beta-key and they would greatly appreciate it. Right now, six of them have gotten beta keys thanks to a guy here from neogaf, so I thank you and owe you back.
If you got extra beta keys left, then write me a private message and I would be thankful for your help. So is there a nice soul around here? =(

 

[ToyMachine228]

Going to jump in the shower, then spend my day off playing the BF: Bad Company beta, Army of Two, and watching No Country for Old Men. In between preparing for 2-3 papers and a presentation

 

[CajoleJuice]

Can't wait to get back from class tonight to try this. I'll be interesting to see if it can pull my FPS time away from COD4.

 

[SpokkX]

is it too late to sign up for a (european) key?

I would really like to try this

Yes! BF:MC still has a very active community, even despite crappy servers and the server lag glitch.

I like BC but also not as much as BF:MC. They injected a TON of COD4 in this game, which is a shame because Battlefield always had its own unique feel. Its also a shame that they replaced Conquest Mode(which is perhaps the most dynamic and replayable mode I've ever experienced in an online FPS) with Gold Rush. Vehicles are pretty much useless save for camp tankers.

 

[saelz8]

Is the AV-8B Harrier II in the game?

 

[jet1911]

Could someone explain to me how to control the guided bomb? (Binocular thing you unlock with the sniper guy)

 

[CaptainStrong]

WAIT - conquest is gone!? That's the mode where you kept capturing flags or I should say bases? Eventually the other team ran out of points if they didn't have any bases and the game ended. It was perfect arcade action. Just pick up a vehicle and head for a base! I hope we can leave this sort of feedback for the beta...but prolly too late to add a whole new game mode.

 

[Ikuu]

Vehicles are pretty much useless save for camp tankers.

What? You can clear out the bases so easily with a tank, and by shelling the enemy over and over create a fear of leaving their base which helps the team, and Helis can be used to clear enemy tanks and allow your own to get closer to the gold. Don't see how they're useless.

As for the question about BF2 vets, well I played a fair amount of the game, and like someone already said it's a decent console version. They seem to have removed defibs, squads are automatically generated (unless I missed something) and if you ask me gold rush is a little too 'linear' for me, no more sneak assaults on unguarded control points.

Curious as to what people feel has been lifted from CoD4, apart from being able to knife kill without switching, team killed quite a few people before I realised that :lol

 

[DemonCleaner]

will


- make breakfast
- massage feet
- clean room (naked?!)


for key




come on

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

nooooooo!

My Xbox Live account just expired! I've already downloaded the beta prior to it being up and running. Having it and not being able to play it is just torture.

I don't get paid until Friday so I wont be able to pick up Live until then...

 

[gnarkill bill]

I havent been able to get into a single game yet...am I alone or this happening to anyone else?
