I still warp and rubberband like hell even though my ping is less than 50...I can't shoot shit and at the server browser my ping goes mad jumping to hundreds, even three hundred once.

[Foxhound]

FPS is much better now. Haven't noticed any rubberbanding issues either. There still is a mild amount of times where the kit load-out goes back to default.

Fileplay are still giving out beta keys, grab one if you're still desperate to have a go.

Seems quite interesting, i would of thought you would of needed more of a veteran rank.

Also the Beta/Demo ends on the 25th and the short countdown for the game begins. 2nd of March for USA and 5th for the UK, stupid release delays

Also they have some sort of tank commander thing going on with RC tanks, looks pretty cool but its based in Singapore so i doubt it would connect for me D:

I am speculating that the Shotgun Magnum shells will be the reward that requires more BF Vet ranks. That Garand will also be one of my PRIMARY weapons for Medic and Assault till I unlock the M14 EBR. And for those here who are going to play PLEASE suggest to dice that they add more Rifles. Currently it's just the Garand, Thompson, G3, and the M14 if you dislike the weapon you get as Medic/Assault. Really hoping they add more universal rifles...

[amazin]

they are not going to code in, model, skin, and bug test a new weapon 1 week before release...

besides the medic weapons already kick ass, i think its the engineer with the worst

[Kalo]

Especially when it's gone Gold! Just seems redundant! But if you actually kept up with the game they've previously stated they intend to add DLC Weapons or atleast hope to. Which is what I was referring to but I am terribly sorry I didn't state that in the first place. I just figured most knew but not everyone is a Battlefield Fanboy like me so I apologize.


Engineer is fine, upclose atleast. They straight dominate in CQB, which fits my style of gameplay so they'll be the class I play when the game comes out.

Also, 6 almost 5 days. Stop making it seem longer then it is I'm already going insane waiting for this game.

It was 5 days according to the ticker. . They did DLC in the first BC but I never figured out how to DL it. Never could find it on my Marketplace.

PC walk-through trailer:



Day one Map Pack:
(Please read the link before moaning about the day one map pack).

[Kalo]

GODDOMMOTFRONK. You beat me to it.

No sign of the Karkand that was rumored to be, but they did say they have 16 maps, this would be 13...So who knows, maybe Map Pack 2 has the remake. Or something similar with destructible sky scrapers.

[amazin]

goddamnit that gameplay looks so good

the newest gameinformer had a review, this game got a 9.5/10, saying that it is a potential rival for MW2

[Pav:3d]

Looks good, first map reminds me of a map from WiC...
If they remake karkand, then ill be very very very pleased

I'm still wondering - when you're on the Russian team, how will you be able to understand the dialogue and radio chatter without any subtitles or translations?

Why did I buy this game, it looks sh*t

Nice vids, looking forward to it more and more.

I know right, MW2 totally set the benchmark for 1337 grafix and it still hasn't been beaten.

Oh absolutely. If I can't have my glitching, bug riddled, lagfest, run 'n gun I don't wanna play anything else. Especially if it has a dedicated server. That just isn't cricket

On a more serious note, the textures on the trees look much better in those vids than from what I've seen in the beta.

They said they lowered the graphics for the Beta so it was a smaller download.

Or you could be like me, never notice that option and memorize what line means what and become an absolute nerd :|. Did that with 2142s Russian VOs.
