DLC is such a double-edged sword. Started out as a great way to add more content so games last longer, but with all this day one type crap we are seeing more and more, well it's starting to look like gamers' willingness to spend too much money on too little content is starting to really bite us in the ass.

I hear ya' Grift. It pisses me off so much how little thought people put into that damn game.

That's the biggest problem with the battlefield games. They are only as fun as the level of teamwork you wind up with. If you get stuck on a team full of snipers or people who don't attack tanks/UAVs and what not, then the experience can easily become nothing but dull and frustrating.

I just don't see why they can't make the objectives teamwork (healing/ammo/etc) worth far more points and make the kills worth barely any points at all. Killing a tank should be worth a ton of points, sniping someone from far away should be worth very little.

I think that having to play as a team, in order to get proper points to level faster and unlock new weapons and such would just make the typical games so much better. It's a shame that I find myself in far more one-sided games than anything that comes even close to a good contest.

I think they also just need to improve their match making system. Look at Halo. You don't really ever end up with complete noobs on your team or as your opponent.

I think it's just a matter of time until people realize that they can make a ton of points out of doing team oriented actions. Taking down the uav gives you 100 points, as does destroying the tank. So i don't think the game should be changed, it's fine in terms of rewards, people need changing.
Also don't forget the people playing now (the free demo) are more the curious and casual. When the game is out, and with time, only the more serious will be playing and it will get slowly more interesting as people start playing more team oriented.

3D spotting should be a static arrow that fades after a couple of seconds. Plenty of time for anyone looking in that direction to get the info and for you to get assist points.

I don't care for Rush that much at all. I would have liked the demo far more if it was conquest I'm guessing. It at least seems to promote more teamwork, even from those who are less than bright when it comes to tactics...

Battlefield moment: Me and my squadie are sneaking up on objective Bravo for the 5th time. It's heavily guarded and those pukes have made little murder holes for themselves and we've only got 19 tickets left. My buddie is an engineer and I'm assault. He bursts through the bushes poping off rounds while I tail and start spotting baddies in his periphery.
I take out murder-hole-boy first while Squadie flanks left, taking out another crapper. Unfortunately there is some spawning going down at this moment and Squadie goes down. I zero in on the remaining baddies, made easier by the little red triangles on their heads. One-two enemies go down quickly and- DAMN! RELOADING! The last guy is swinging his knife at my face! I side-step, pig-sticking the fucker as he flies past. I'm thinking home free as I head into the crater, finishing my reload. WRONG! Gunfire peppers the ground around me as I spin to see inevitability charging down my six.
Fortunately, Inevitability can't hit the broad side of a barn and I light up his testicles. Buisness all wrapped up, I hide behind the objective and plant my charge, white-knuckling it as I wait for the shot in the back. Charge set. I book it back up to the lip of the crater to take out anyone brave enough to attempt a disarm. Bad Idea. My vision goes blurry as all those grade A-holes respawn on my ass. As I fall I can see 'em all running down the hill. I tensly wait for my respawn, despairing. Fortunately my other Squadies had shown up and were laying waste to anyone attemping a disarm. My little charge is successful and we are back up to 75! We ended up winning the whole match. It was awesome...

Awesome! lol...

lmfao...

The gun stats are currently not working correctly, sometimes they display stats from previous games and the wrong guns (hey its a beta). However medals and points are correct.

Lol oh, i even forgot about that. But happy that a patch is coming. Let's see what will do :)

Maybe the problem with patching the demo is they're too busy correcting the issue for the retail version first?

The patch is for the PC beta, not the consoles demo.
