ParticipantAs Insane said, the weapons are total toss, dont seem to kill anything, even at close range! And Im noticing a pattern already, to the guns people are using due to increased accuracy.
But, its got lots of potential, and im sure there sort it.
RO can suck my balls 😀

ParticipantJust in case you weren’t already aware.
TIP for all you Dolphin Divers .. DONT!! you no longer have the same advantage you had in BF2.
Go into the crouch position in stead and you’ll hit more often and with a lot more accuracy when you zoom.
Got to admit the Titian Mode Rocks,, Conquest is nothing new I’m affraid and is probably still better in BF2.
Watch out though Titian or Conquest..
I’ll be after those DOG TAG’S 😈

ParticipantJust been playing it and it fucking sucks.
Will not be forking out for this pile of wank. It’s seriously boring, please change the server back to BF2.

ParticipantNice to see people giving it a thorough workout and coming to considered and unhurried opinions…. 🙄
Its BF2 all over again… I remember people moaning about the guns in bF2 and not being able to kill anyone without emptying an entire clip. 🙂 Don’t worry Max you will find your mojo with this game soon.
Things to consider – demo maps are rarely the best and screenies of the others (cities esp) look the biz. We only have access to a few of the weapons and bits of kit in the demo. There’s grenades, defibs, smokies, etc to come with unlocks. The squad leader stuff looks cool – mobile spawns, sentries. Most people looked confused with the Titan mode so there were a lot of headless chickens on last night. Once ppl realise they have to defend the titan then the battles will get better. Still discovering stuff – like the gun turrets on the titan and the escape pods. toyed with commanding briefly and it seems improved on.
I think the vehicle/heli whores were a bit disappointed because they couldn’t get into their favourite killing machines and start racking up kills. Tough shit is what i say. But i’m sure you will end up finding new and interesting ways to spoil the game for the rest of us soon enough 😉
Not so keen on – the difficulty distinguisinh the enemy (will just have to get used to the new uniforms), the weapon names (Wipers killed by a KYPT-154_U* or something); seemed to be a lot of ground humping on the demo, the names fiasco, the titan explosion stopping you from hearing anything on ts for 2 mins or more 🙂 . The kit select screen / commander screen are a bit harsh too.
I’ll give it time, its got potential, esp the teamplay element. When it comes down to it its a mod for BF2 like BFV was to 42. I didnt expect any earth shattering developments. It’ll be interesting to see where DICE take the franchise next.

Participantmay jump on the server tonite and try again….. just to hear you lot on ts 😉

ParticipantGood man wipers…
Ive basically been playing as the rocket man, and the gun seems fine to me.
Titan mode rocks too, now ive worked out how to do it!

Wise words mate, and yes im sure over time people wll get used to the gun handling, its just frustrating, the guns don seem patricularly accurate, but as i said, its got potential and im sure it will take off.

yup. It takes a few hours..don’t forget ranking is not available in demo so no unlocks either.

ParticipantJust got disconnected from the master server and it wouldnt let me in again… oh well… I still likes it!
October 7, 2006 at 8:20 pm #34995XDCFluffyBunny
ParticipantPLayed it a bit (very short bit as it kicked me (and many others)
Firstly serious problems connection to ea master server – 5/10 min to get into first menu does not impress – which i would assume the demo is meant to)
Don’t think its a finished product and that more than anything will put me off buying the game.
erm thats it – did i mention it kicked me!!
Just hope it grows on me as there’s naff all else to play atm

ParticipantI agree with what Wipers said.
The one thing that really gets me is the weapon names. I have no idea weather a “Lensman killed by XXX [KY-3142]” means I was shot by an infantry guy, a sniper, a tank, a Titan turret, or some bender with a jar of KY Jelly.
