Unlimited sprint is silly. Health regen is silly. No prone is silly. This is a silly console game.

It still rules.

Bloody hell, it's lagging like shit now. Can't play properly. Server browser cashes the game now... Damn, rough start :P

It's still the first day, hopefully it will get better SOON.

They sure as hell needed this beta, this is the worst net code ive ever witnessed, and it really takes something to beat MW2 in that department. So much for dedicated servers, they must be run on old BF2 servers or something.

I've been on a couple of servers that worked okay, but since it's been a hassle. It's amazing that there's no latency indicator in game, and it's also amazing that you can't sort the server browser via ping.

Granted, Battlefield 2 had a ton of network issues as well, but this is sort of ridiculous. How they're going to be ready for launch in March is beyond me.

Well can't get into a game , game crashes when I click on server browser and join now just kicks me back to lobby.

Btw friendly fire is only off in the beta. I saw it as a server option when loading a map:

Friendly Fire = 0

Well, its given me an excuse to get washed up and head out, will try it again tomorrow maybe. Theres so much going wrong in the game its hard to know where to begin really, think ill fire up the 360 version tomorrow aswell and compare the 2.
It seems the console version is the way to go, game mechanics feel so much like a console game, and performance aint that great, to get it to run decent you need to sacrifice the visuals and they aint that great to begin with.

Horrid map aswell, never liked snow maps to begin with.

Well I finally managed to get into a steady game...
I've played for 3 hours now, and although there are some minor gripes, I think the game is fucking awesome!
I really needed to get used to using the weapons but so far have played a lot with assault and recon classes.
The game is a lot slower than for example Mw2 but I think that's a good thing...
Damnit this game is awesome!

How is anyone even playing right now? I can't even get the server browser to work. Crash to desktop every damned time.

It worked earlier too. :(

Try the Play now. It picks a server for you, i got lucky and found cool one. Managed play some rounds earlier, with very few lagg. Very fun so far. Enjoying playing medic as i did on PS3 beta.

Yea, 90% of the time play now just says that I failed to connect to the server. It worked just a moment ago though.

PS. Fuck Kate!

fucking love it!!!! played 3.4h straight yesterday last night.

ok, so besides the minor dumbing down that grift pointed out, i think it's really top notch. same overall experience of the previous one, BUT with the gunplay fixed. It doesnt feel stiff anymore, only takes the right amount of bullets to take down enemy. <3

And regarding friendly fire, i think there's going to be in consoles at least an hardcore mode, less bullets, reduced hud and friendly fire. curious to see.

and the regenerating health yeah it's stupid but it's not as bad, because actually on a tense confrontation you still need the medic and med packs otherwise you go down fast. revive is so cool to see it back, was playing with one friend, squad of two, was perfect, he was exposing himself and shooting, everytime he went down, i would revive him. super cool, the way it should be.

the knife now works so much better, but still no CoD. the lag seems much reduced, it seems to take less time since you knife a window or a fence, and it going down. On BC1 it felt it look like a second or something
all in all, loved it!

Well I finally got into some games that, ya know, worked. It's pretty fun. I used every kit a bit and so far I'm liking Recon, Medic, and Assault. Engi is ok too, guns a little weak though, as usually.

Medic almost seems a little too powerful, or maybe we were just raping the other team too hard. If you're defending you can keep the other team all the way back at their first spawn if they suck. It sorta turns into typical base rape nonsense from a dumb BF2 pub. But otherwise, it's pretty good. I do wish I could prone, oh, and I wish it ran better too. I know the destruction is crazy and everything but it seems a little slow even on some bigger rigs.

Good game though.

I unlocked the shotgun yesterday and I used it instead of the medic machine gun.. Everyone within 10 meters is getting raped

I've been playing the 360 version, and it is sweet. I think the new control scheme is nice even though I'm not quite used to it yet. Much like with Mass Effect 2 it runs and looks better than the previous one. My one major gripe has been addressed as well( the damage). The new classes seem to work well, but I wish they'd kept the ammo boxes from the last one- Ammo is something you shouldn't have to get from your teammates( in a game anyway). There is only one map, but I am already addicted...

That's actually one thing i'm really happy to see back. makes you work as a team. One reviving another providing ammo, the other one shooting = sweetness!

Another thing I was pissed they added was the kill cams, but they actually are not that bad. They don't reveal much and don't give much away the position. So for now it seems to alright.

It works as long as your teammates are doing their job. It's minor for me anyway, as they have done a much better job of providing mounted guns on overwatch. I am diggin' how they handled the 50 cal. Feels just like I remember...

Server Browser works but you can't sort by Latency which is a pain in the arse for me as servers under 100ms are rare.
