Also invincible people:

"This requires 3 people to be done correctly (one must be medic) all you do is have a friend be on the opposite team and have him kill you, when your down, have your medic friend revive you, in mid revive have your friend on the other team kill you again. if done correctly, you will become invincible for the rest of the game! ive seen this done and tested it myself this morning and it does in fact still work. try it out before it gets patched! "

Talking about teamwork...

Very cool indeed. A little American, but I'm guessing that's how it's geared. They've only done it so you can't use porn or other "offensive" material as a logo. As if we would...

Aye Chris not too bad at all.

Noticed the lag tonight, it was very bad. Still some nice flying from Sy, thank you m8e, finally got IR flares and heatseekers.

As more for me, the game just isn't clicking either.
I can't get the hang of the controls, it feels more like luck than skill, sure it's supposed to add realism, but it's a game, it's not real, otherwise we'd die with 1/2 bullet hits and no-one gets revived.

I think DICE need to learn a lesson here.
Open server rentals for consoles.
Dont mess with the controls.

[chrisdfa1]

have to admit its starting to get stale already for me.
conquest is just a massive run to and from flags (as you get most points for capturing).

run to one flag, capture......enemy takes your last base.......run back

only vehicle which serves any purpose is the tanks, heli's are underpowered and too easy to take down...jets are pointless!

i really enjoy the infantry combat mind, but again i find little niggles! bloody annoying that soon as you fire your weapon without a supressor you show up as a big red dot on the mini map and your more or less garunteed to die within seconds (if close to enemy).

squad system is bloody shocking atm! no point bothering witha headset in game



if the game stays in its current format i doubt ill be playing it any way near as much as BC2. think ill just work my way up to rank 45 then just play it every now and then from the looks of things!

There's a lot wrong with the game, try rush or squad rush.
It usually takes about 6 months for DICE to patch most of the problems and rebalance weapons and vehicles, most of this is done within a few weeks/one month after release.

So what do you want patching?

Me:
1. aiming control - it feels like Killzone 2/3, so it feels more like luck than skill. BFBC2 was perfect.
2. increased hit points, dying to fast gets old very quickly
3. lag - I've not noticed a huge amount until I played with Sy, Dazzy, and KK today. It's appaling on conquest.
4. unlocks. If I unlock a weapon perk for USA I want the same unlock for PLR or who ever. I hate having to do it twice for a different team.

Make something up looks crap blank.

I agree alot with chris's last post - he is right, alot of running around.
I think the maps are probably to big - if they pushed it to 32 players then it might be alright.

Heli's are ok but the problem is LAG.
They feel like shit when u enter lag zones, jump and bang around whilst riding the lag.
I have died only from lag.. u go to land for repairs and if u touch the ground and it lags out the heli spaz's out and it's so retarded.

Jets one minute u can be 10,000 feet and the next a lag mountain appears or u hit an invisible wall - lame.

On top of that u have got several engineers locking on to aircraft, basically the engi is really all u need in this game, rpg, mines and some nice guns all in 1 kit at the same time.
Doesn't matter if u have skill or not in this game, alot of lag factors play a major role in this game.

Also alot of AUTO weapons, press a button for it to do something aka EASY MODE in my honest opinion.

I doubt it will last long... i really don't think it will.

There are some good maps but they are plagued with problems.

Bugs.. so many i'd need a forum dedicated to myself to explain them.

On a happy note the game is alright to play, i do enjoy it when it seems to work ok with your squad.
But i couldn't play this game on my own.. so many dumb fucks playing i wonder where they all came from...

[Symonator]

seems alot of people are getting the lag issue reported in air vehicles..

also quite alot of posts about it on the battlelog.. it can't just be lag, something is wrong somewhere.
