xsissel Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Battlefield>MW3 IMO. Commander function ftw :3 Quote
MiF Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Air vehicles are underpowered and horrible to fly with, you could say that they suck.This. I dunno tho how good those missiles are, which need unlocking.It's a bit too small for my tasteThis.Battlefield>MW3 IMO. Commander function ftw :3Aaaaaaaaand. This... No wait. BF3 is better because of vehicles and big maps. Quote
Nobana Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Battlefield>MW3 IMO. Commander function ftw :3Who said there will be a commander fuction? Its more likely that suck-ass DICE decides to leave it out.And the lack of vehicles is disturbing. Its hard to find even one jeep near a flag, only vehicles seem to be located in main bases.

Clavus Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 They are dividing the commander abilities among the squad leader role. Since playing Commander in BF2 meant camping on a corner of the map, instead of being right in the action. Quote
Nobana Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) What exaclty can the squad leader do, since in beta he really cant do anything. No UAV, Artillery, vehicle drops, supplies...TOP 10 BETA PROBLEMS AND ANSWERS[lainaus] 1. Squad issues: Cannot play with friends within same squad, squads get split up onto opposite teams, etc.There will be improved squad functionality in the retail game (including but not limited to): the ability to create squads prior to launching into a game, sticking with your squad when joining a game and continuing together through future games (If team balance on the server allows it), inviting friends to a squad and changing squads once in game.2. Regarding additional Open Beta content and fixes/patches for consoles, including PlayStation 3 issues with chat and party systemsWhile we would like to patch the Open Beta, DICE is currently focusing its available resources on polishing the retail game.3. Will DICE have enough time to iron out everything by release?Please see General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson's blog post regarding this question.4. Can we have ability to change settings/options before deployment into match on PC?The ability to modify your settings via the deploy screen has been added into the retail game.5. Issues with terrain stability and "falling into the map" on Operation MétroThis has been fixed for the beta via a server side update.6. Kill cam sometimes zooms out too far or outside the mapThis has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.7. A bug that sometimes keeps some players from being able to sprintThis has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.8. Screen flickering/stuttering. Blue screen remains after respawn. Game locks up after deploying C4 (360)This has been fixed for the launch of the retail game.9. Downed bodies appear to be dead, but are notThe DICE team has been looking into this issue - which is caused by a combination of incidents in a confined area - and are working hard to address the issue for the launch of the retail game.10. Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2?The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you've provided and is further optimizing online play. Edited October 7, 2011 by Nobana Quote
Clavus Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Well I read squad leaders will get abilities like calling in mortar strikes and such. Quote
NECROSSIN Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Found some interesting stuff about another bf3 map:http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/10/07/battlefield-3-operation-firestorm-developer-commentary Quote
Nobana Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Grand Bazaar, infantry concentrated rush map. Looks really neat Youtube link for Operation Firestorm, big vehicles based map. Looks, well, not so good. Edited October 8, 2011 by Nobana Quote
Clavus Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Youtube link for Operation Firestorm, big vehicles based map. Looks, well, not so good. How so? I think it looks awesome. I'm a fan of the big vehicle maps. More options for ambush and flanking, or just downright steamrolling a tank in. Quote

I'm a fan of the big vehicle maps. More options for ambush and flanking, or just downright steamrolling a tank in.Yes it does look good when you think about playing it with vehicles, but Im afraid that it has the same kind of lack of vehicles that Caspian Border does(hard to find a jeep elsewhere than homebase).

Cookie Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I played some Caspian Border yesterday and it looks amazing. Though the vehicles need to be adjusted bigtime. Especially helicopters and jets.This is what I posted on BattleLogI just found my way into a jet in CB, my first reaction: What the ****? I did not know a jet could take air in my backyard! Once I got into the air I noticed my speed was dropping. That's right. I can walk faster than this jet flies. Now comes the controls; were the developers drunk while creating it? Just a question out of the blue. I can honestly say I do NOT understand why they just thrown the Battlefield 2 handling at the garbage. It was way superior to the current handling and it was made almost 6 years ago now. It was the best jet handling in ANY game i've ever played. And it wasn't even based on flying. It was amazing. I spend hundreds of hours flying, each time being different and each time finding out new moves.With this handling? I won't even bother waiting for a jet anymore.Come on Dice, you can do so much better...Why have they thrown the superior Battlefield 2 handling overboard? Helicopters is the same story. Quote
Nobana Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 I thought exactly the same and have posted to the forumss about this issue various times. Quote
Clavus Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Being used to a type of controls doesn't necessarily make it superior. We'll have to see how it holds up over time. Quote

Cookie Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I think that was the concept in the first place, until they ran into the idea of bashing CoD. And now we have a Codfield. Quote

And yes, I will keep comparing the controls to Battlefield 2 because they were perfect in BF2 and I dont see why did they need to change them to worse. Edited October 8, 2011 by Nobana Quote

And Rush isn't CoD at all, have you ever seen a CoD game that requires that much teamwork? Quote

Dr.Minky Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 So is this game worth buying? Or shall I leave it till its gone down in price a bit? Quote

Or shall I leave it till its gone down in price a bit?Dont pre-order at least. Wait for the game to be released to see what they have fixed and what not. Edited October 8, 2011 by Nobana Quote
