I think that is why I like this game so much, I find the grenade/rocket spam extremely fucking lame and you can't do that in this game. I wish more developers would take some notes and cut down on the nade/rocket bullshit.

Thats it??? woh that is pretty low.. i dont know if im gonna buy this on consoles. I think waiting for the PC version is the best bet.

He's talking about the private games, the public games are 12v12. I played 12v12 for two hours tonight.

It's 12 on 12 max.

I played a bunch of games tonight with a couple friends. We couldn't find a game as a squad so we each tried to get into a game by ourselves. When one of us did, the others just spammed join session in progress til we all got in. Was pretty haggard but it works.
 
man I really hate dying a second after you spawn and having to spend more time waiting to spawn again than you did playing that last life
 
After playing awhile I've decided Rifleman is the only class worth using. You get great range and decent firepower. Infantryman is useless. And scout is only good if you spawn on a hilltop.

I find the scouts pistol to be more useful than his rifle, truth be told.
 
I hate when I run into a tank as a rifleman. The odds of me killing him with my grenade launcher are pretty slim, unless he's already badly damaged. Which why I normally just bring out my bayonet and go for one final charge of glory.

haha. I know the feeling. Sometimes I wish the little window on the tank was an actual spot where you could shoot the driver in the face. That would be so epic if you managed to run up on a tank and then stab the driver in the face through the little square window hole. :lol
 
Finally got in a few hours ago and have been playing ever since.

Brilliant game. By far the most fun I've had with an XBLA game in a long time.

Can a rifleman repair a tank? Tank repair is the only class worth using.

I agree, the weapon for Infantry class just feels so weak and it's got such a short range that you'd be killed far before you could ever reach the enemy. Only feels worth using if you're trying to take out a pesky tank as the secondary fire/rocket launcher thing seems pretty effective for that.

How to repair stuff? I thought the classes would be very significant when I saw people talking about scouts, and such. I tried the repair class (the one with the wrench icon) and I couldn't seem to repair stuff.
 
I wonder if developers don't like Microsoft's "Gold/Silver Live Policy" for online multiplayer only arcade games. You can't even buy the game if you only have a silver.

Still can't connect to EA servers.

Not sure if you've done this, but if you haven't:

Go to EA.com.

Register an account there, it's on the bottom static bar on the site.

Sign it in and click on your account name.

Add a Persona, for your XBL or PSN account, basically just type in it's name, linking it to EA's servers.

Should work.

it's what I had to do. It's really odd and arbitrary and something I never had to do with BFBC, odd.

triangle brings out your melee (wrench). Start hitting vehicles and you'll see their lifebar go up.
 
Haha got in a few good matches with fellow GAFer Eric WK. I don't think he knew who I was but I was tailing him the entire time. I actually think I saved his ass once or twice but it was clear that he has a leg up on me. :lol

That was pretty epic scaling the huge hill on Guadalcanal whilst killing about 5-6 enemy soldiers. Once we got to the top we laid down some serious fire on a nearby base where they were spawning. Good times.

I thought that was you, but I wasn't positive. You should have joined our party!

:lol I noticed you following me a lot. I was like "who's this weirdo on my ass all the time."
 
Played a few hours now. It's been fun.

Few things
-With this and BF Heroes releasing so close together. I have to say BF Heroes really stomps this. Bf Heroes has 3 really well thought out classes, with allot of interchangeable abilities and good balance. The Riflemen mows down infantry, 2-3 shots per kill at any range(With great distance and accuracy, and the GL is deadly), Engineer/Machine Gunner is worthless at any range outside of short, and Sniper is decent(The pistol saves the class) :lol They should've kept the original 5 classes because with just these 3, it feels really barebones and unbalanced.

-What I do like allot is the upgrade to the BC shooting system. Allot less spray and pepper, which is a good thing since BF:BC was terrible with that.

And finally, I need to be on a losing team more often :lol

Myself, Tokubetsu, Ayo Jub3 and some others were all in a party.

Oh wow I had no idea. Well hopefully tomorrow we can kick some more ass, but this time I'll be able to communicate with you guys.

And forgive me if I played like shit...those were pretty much my first matches I've played so far.

Nah. I don't think we lost at all so don't worry about it. I didn't even notice.

What do you have to do to show up as an arrow on the enemy's mini map?

The enemy has to fire in your direction, close enough for the call out to appear in the combat log. As far as I know, that's the only thing that causes it.

Well we got crushed on the last level I played. We only had about 5 guys are our team so trying to defend the bases was near impossible. That damn Bunker base switched hands about 30 times throughout the match.

Actually I believe me and you got the Best Squad award on that level even though we lost. I didn't know that could happen.

Can't scouts call out enemies too? I noticed that when I had my crosshairs over enemies that the arrow appear for me, not sure if it appear for others at that point though.

Hm. Maybe.
 
Holy shit. There are some stupid people playing this game. I just single handily won a 12 on 12 round for my team. I had double the kills compared to anyone and 939 points. :lol

All Classes do, They adapted it from BC.
Also, shooting them does the same:lol
 
Love the C4 or whatever. I just need to learn how to use them efficiently. I kinda have all 3 together. Maybe they are for tanks, but I managed to use them to help defend the airfield base.

You can use it for tanks. I have. :D You can even stick it on there. :3 It's also for blowing up bridges and whatnot.

They probably did that since you need a gold account to play it. It would be silly to sell a game to silver members when they couldn't play it.

So are you digging the game overall? :) Think the map from the demo is my fav.

Oh and how do you parachute?
