I'm actually buying a new controller soon because the game is too responsive. My slightly loose left stick means my character is constantly shifting when I want him to be still, making it harder to go unnoticed or deploy a bipod. You no longer control like a boat the way you did in BC2, and once they address ADS after reload and sprint hiccups, it should feel pretty great.
PC = win. Anyway, the UMP 45 is ****ing ridiculously over powering. I just came out of a server and everyone on the enemy team had UMPs out. What's the point in having a fully-automatic weapon thats effective and 1 hit kill at all ranges? -.- stopid dyce
I was running around with my M416 and i was losing medium/short engagements to the UMP today. I equip it on my recon class and i double kill all the people who were winning the engagements. There is a reported bug about doing more damage to a player who is moving or mid animation but regardless the UMP is over powered 3-4 shot kill everytime and its fire rate is really fast. Compared to my M416 which is slower rate of fire and does less damage. Im almsot sure UMP is gonna get a minor nerf if it does 33 damage a bullet right now it should do 24 so it will take 4-5 instead.
In addition to that bug you mention, some say the netcode is contributing to that one-hit kill from various automatic weapons. It's as though multiple bullets are registering with a slight delay, making the damage accumulate and appear to kill you instantly. Whatever the case, I certainly hope it improves in the final build, because playing a medic feels pretty gimped right now. It's hard enough to revive people safely, but medpacks are pretty useless too if everyone goes down so quickly.
870 Combat with 12g Slug rounds and the flashlight attachment on Recon with sprint boost is fantastically fun, especially on the latter three rush phases. All you wimps complaining about the game are just nitpicking. As a whole, this beta is still great regardless of the mediocre map design on Metro. Metro might possibly be better with conquest matches..
?? you can't get out of the subway once you go down there, or if you do, it's too hard. Plus, there's two exits. MAJOR Choke points there. Unless they open up a lot of the map and don't use the subway, I can't see it being a conquest map. The game is still fun, but there are things that annoy me quite a bit. Like I've died like 10 times ish now where people have been outside at the attacker spawn above the subway entrances and I've been at the defender spawn INSIDE the subway, and I've been shot by snipers. For some reason, theres a place up there where you can see through and shoot through the map
I hope that metro is one of the weaker rush maps that they are trying to make better using the beta. I like the gameplay, but the map is pretty questionable. I guess they were probably trying to pick the most vanilla map to put on the beta, but I wish we had a bit of a taste of vehicle gameplay
Alpha had a LAV in the first phase, but either it was taken out because of the lowered player count, or it was too OP. I think it's probably the latter, because I've won the first phase before losing 20 tickets a couple of times.
Battlefield Blog This just says that the beta build is actually not their current built and is actually over a month old. They are just using it to test servers and ****, I guess.
Whew. This is very good and comforting to know. I was kinda wondering how there were gonna fix some of the bad stuff in less than a month
I cant physically play the xbox beta because i cannot move forward in game. Ill try and take a few steps forward and then will immediately teleport back to my initial spawn.
has anyone here used the AS-VAL yet? is it good? [br][/br]Edited by merge: if they ruined it I will cry bruh
I'd be able to tell you if I had've kept playing, but I called it quits when I seen that you couldn't use the RC helicopter thing (I think that's what it is).
The BETA unlocks for recon are: Spoiler 1. SV98 (bolt action) 2. T-UGS (motion detector i think?) 3. SKS 4. SOFLAM (not in beta) (Laser designator) 5. M40AS (bolt action) 6. MAV (says not in beta but it is) (controls are broken tho left is straight right is back) 7. M98B (Think of it as a bolt action barett) 8. M39 EBR (basically a machine gun making love to a sniper and this came out) no AS-VAl... in beta atleast
