"jimmy fallon" = wtf!

Yup looks good on console, but if it freezes and lags out....battlefield will die quickly.

BFBC2 last night was horrible, lag lag lag. fucking getting on me tits.

[redVENGEANCE]

its lagging as we speak

sucks!

[DrinkinMehStella]

i only started playing bfbc2 a few days ago but i am impressed with the connection so far but i dont get my hopes up, my biggest problem is those spawn campers and the sometimes empty lobbies.

Hello guys, nice to be back again
It seems that your hands is itching to grab PS3 eh? Well i'll be back again on PS3 gaming just before the release of BF3. See you all in the battlefield3

[DrinkinMehStella]

has anyone seen the alpha trial in action or even played it? from what i have seen so far, it has quite a few problems, glitches and lags, this could just be on the pc but it makes me worry about if this games expectations are going to live up, or are we going to have to wait weeks before they bring out a patch to fix the bugs, hopefully after the beta all the bugs will have been located and fixed before the final release.

Went through my Junk mail the other day and i have a email from them,
I have redeemed the code and have it here for anyone who wants it

Sy and others have posted first hand opinions on it.

i was just saying what i think about it from what i have seen.

Apart from this bit...?

[Symonator]

Well the alpha has finished.
Overall after some time playing, unlocking stuff reaching rank 23 or something like that and a k/d of 2.1 it's OK.

The thing that spoilt the entire damn thing was the fucking map.
It's made for defenders, know what i mean.. snipers all over the shop aswell.. infact if i couldn't beat them - i joined in on the sniper fest at some points. (lol).

Some nice scopes though, however having assault with defib is just wrong, i don't know why they do it.

Graphics are all smoke and mirrors if you know what i mean by this and it trys to draw you in .. which it does.. lovely looking, some animations are the best you might see.
However, the core mechanics to me are a tad slow, it has a mirrors edge style to running/jumping, seeing ya legs n arms..
The overall feel is a bit slow though...

The vehicle on offer was lav-25 apc, felt like driving a tin bath on wheels.
Not very effective, and in more ways than one, the map again, very tight, you can't really use the vehicle to move around, the map was made for infantry, tight close combat, narrow tunnels and a "golden path" is this maps downfall, if you can't get through the tunnel to subway, you aren't going to win.

PC players are just as dumb on bf with no ammo drops/medics or shit all..
A feature i do like about being revived, you can choose whether to accept the revive or not, which i feel is a good add in from previous games from the series...it's not nie being revived in the middle of a firefight.

I think if you give me conquest and vehicles and some rush maps which are not so squishy, i think i can play the game.. couple that in with a ps3 controller and we have a new fps to play.

good:

The unlocks, ranks, battlelog are fun, exciting and you get a sense of acheivement.
The squad system is ok, but could do with some work.

Bad:

Map design on this alpah was terrible, many bugs too.
Core mechanics a bit slow, the menu systems are a bit copy pasta from MOH and the 3d spotting is a bit to much.

OVERALL:

Will i buy?
Yes.. but not for playing any rush map.

[YorkshirePud]

well summed up sy, i think the map choice is what will annoy most people, probably wont put the faithful off but they should have chose something better?

the beta choice map of Port Valdez for BC2 was a good choice they should have remembered this

[chrisdfa1]

sounds more positive than before imo!
good stuff, still got another couple of months so i guess things can still change....few tweaks here and there
