Think I need some more practice with the EOD Bot before I can troll some folks.

Just unlocked C4 for support that'll be handy on defence other crate gets planted and by by mister planter haha.

The map is not what i will be playing in full game, it's just full of fucking camping and prone camping, it's the maps fault - people do it because there is fuck all else on it.

Hate the map i really do, it's not really a battlefield map at all.
I've just seen a 32 player conquest version on youtube...lmao @ 3flags and subway station, retardED!

That sg guy had mate in his squad pud... and all he did was spawn on the beacon behind you or near you, but u can't tell anyone because the comms work when they feel like it...or it decides to split you up.

That's why he was always around you, i blew the beacon shit up at least 10 times!

I hate to see my team/squad also camping it up on attack, get the fuck off you cod scrub.

Game is alright, map is shit, gamemode is shit, bring on real battlefield with conquest and none of this operation camping corridor.

Only people who like this map - cod fans, snipers and people who would rather camp than get objectives, fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Killzone_Kid]

You are all so kind talking about this piece of shit, and thats fine. I on the other hand sent lots of tweets and made many forum posts about obvious problems how to solve them and also got myself banned and blocked in the process

There are way too many things that should have been fixed but didn't like not being able to simply save your desired weapon set up into a slot and load it with one click instead of having to go through customisation menu every fucking time (which is even more complicated than BC2s) or inclusion of flashlights and knife animation, which neither you or your victim can even see in first person anyway.

Trying to pick all the faults in this game and what could have been done to avoid and improve it makes me extremely angry. I let it go with BC2 because overall it was an improvement on BC1, but this piece of shit is a step backwards. My prediction, people will abandon it just like with games like KZ3 after awhile and then the community will get split not just between many useless modes in the game but between the 3 games as well, BC1 BC2 and BF3.

I will not buying it, not even for the Caspian Border. The game with all its numerous customisations feels like a chore rather than fun. Sorry DICE I have enough chores in my life already.

[Symonator]

Well i doubt i'll be playing now till the full game... all me clannies over at WiW have been on caspian and say its way better , no camping in sight!

I just can't be doing with this map, it has no teamwork because all that part of the beta is broke, camping on attack is another major issue for me too.

Need some tanks and shit to fucking move them campers lol.

Game is alright, the map shown is shitttttttttttte!

[codayop]

Hmmm, not impressed with the Beta. Preying the full game will have a better frame rate along with the glitches getting rid of.
Otherwise its not too bad. Dont know if its my eyesight, but I aint seeing the bad guys that clearly, hoping its just cos its a bit dark and jumpy. Enjoying the realisim of the weapons, makes bc2 seem a bit cartoony.
Spent £38 on Fifa 12, £38 on bf3... My wallet is dry, these games should be keeping me out of the pub, hopefully

[InfiniteStates]

Yeah had my first go last night and pretty much agree with coda - I find it really hard to see the enemy. I like the look and feel of it, once I'd adjusted the sensitivity.

However, the floor glitching on the first section is ridiculous. I spent more time fighting floor collision than anything else... How the fuck did this ever make beta, nevermind get released? Do Dice and their QA only follow the footpaths or something?

I think putting prone back in was a mistake personally. And it was really easy for the attackers to spawn camp us in the train station.

[Astro]

You know what I'm actually not worried about the retail game the server browser on the console will avoid not only metro but any other maps like it.

[YorkshirePud]

I'd like to see a server filter option

Mode: Rush/Conquest
Map: Karkland/wake/caspian etc
Special: NO FUCKING METRO

[Killzone_Kid]

Metro conquest has 1 flag at the entrance to the station and 2 inside underground. 3 flag linear conquest again only this time bases are OOB.

I want to point out that in some interviews DICE reps stressed that conquest maps are specifically designed around conquest mode. LMAO!

[YorkshirePud]

I'm going to try and make a concious desicion to not play the beta anymore, im satisfied that the core of the game is ok, the map is a bit rubbish, also your ranking up for nothing as its not carried through, i might pop on every now and again but ill stick to giving space marine some attention and having last hurrahs with BFBC2

[Killzone_Kid]

If you go to battlelog's server browser there is a field called server preset. You can select "infantry only" as a filter. Funny thing is...if I search for Operation Metro normal server I get 100 results. If I add "infantry only" filter I get 0 results LMAO! What the fuck do they call the current OP Metro map, vehiclular warfare?

[chrisdfa1]

zzzzzzzzz so much hate, go play MW3 if your going to bitch and moan.....getting boring now!

[Symonator]

or be a complete fanboy and ignore the problems, you'd be the first to complain about something if u didn't like it.
I've played battlefield why u were still in primary school but i'll be damned if i am going to big up such a shite map!

yerr there are issues no doubt, but theyve already adressed them and said its far from the final code from what astro posted earlier.

Its totally irrelevant whether or not i was in primary school , the only ones i havent played are 1942 and modern combat on console.....

i agree the fact that the map is far from the greatest and hardly provides even a glimpse of the true 'battlefield' experience.
But the core mechanics/gameplay is awesome, issues with some of the weapons being over powered admitedly........but they still nerfed some weapons in BC2 months after launch didnt they?

just bored of all this bullshit whinging about 'everything' if its not Black Ops or MW3 its BF3 now.....yerr were british and its what we do best. But if you dont like it, shut up and dont play it!!

[Symonator]

but the issue is which you are refusing to accept is that people who played this franchise for a long time, are a bit concerned about this map.. it's the map and that's all people are really complaining about.

The game is ok and better maps will proove this, 1942, battlefield 2, special forces, 2142, bad company 1, free to play, bad company 2 even battlefield heroes can do better maps.

If people whine and complain then the game will be better for it, sit in a nutshell like cod players and accept shit year after year produces the same shit, year after year.

You only need to read the official forums to see people hate alot of things in the game already - mainly "operation corridor" or "operation campfest"....

Sitting in bushes prone on attack is just some shitty ass player who ruins the game, the map promotes it even more because there is nothing to do on it apart from camp and counter camp the campers.

You can easily win games but not if the other team camps it up, no matter how good you are the map becomes a stalemate.

I've seen all this months ago on alpha and the problem is magnified x100 on console.

The map suits cod players, it's right up there for them.
The map suits people who are willing to just play and not see it for what it really is.. a camping arena map.

Why attackers seem to think you need to defend the nearest bush is beyond me...

And it's not bullshit, bullshit is when you talk about something that isn't there.
If you chris refuse to accept that the game has problems, at that point you become fanboy and see it all as perfect and start defending it because you feel you need to.. when really a fan would know the good from the bad.

p.s

I actually enjoyed black ops until several weeks later everyone camped it up, really takes the fun out of playing games.
That's not really the games fault, but the maps promote it, little windows, doors and 1 way systems, perfect for camping on bops.
