BC2 BETA... Your thoughts and SCREENSHOTS of it

ScarySquirrel said:
Me too. I was playing in a game last night with about 12 people on each side. I was on the attacking team and I counted 7 snipers up the top of the hill, blatantly just sniping for kills and not bothering with the objective.

So we have about 4-5 of us (me included) trying to attack, but the defenders had about 6 medics by the rocks at the bottom of the big hill. If you were lucky enough to kill a couple of them, they would just revive each other.

Naturally I abused our team for what they were doing, but got no response, and everyone just carried on sniping.

leave them too it they will have big shock when the game gets released and they lose there game cause of not knowing how to attack as a squad/team,it all gets recorded on there stats.
 
I've played the game a fair few times, and yet my score doesn't seem to rise past where I got it too last night :/
Ah well, it ain't like I'll be keeping any rank or unlocks I recieve in the beta.

I dont think there's a fair solution to the sniper problem, if you have team damage then people would abuse it TK'ing others to get into the vehicles so that naturally would create a totally different problem. Limiting the amount who can use the class is also unfair to those who enjoy the class and want to work up through the unlocks.

The only thing that would help imo is allow the defending team access up that hill so they can stab them in the head but sadly you get the 'out of bounds' message if try to get there.

Team killing for vehicles normlly results in a Kick/ban if your persistent offender,there will be server rules that admins will enforce on there server that all players will have to abide by,i can guarantee most good servers will enforce this rule just like in bf2.

Also i dont know as yet but some servers may have team punish turned on so you can select wether to punish or forgive your attacker.Punishing normally deducts points from you,the amount set server side.Also if you say Team kill 3 times you can set the server to auto kick...dont worry about this Team killing problem as its only minor.

We already have our 32 man server and clan Domain ready, 6 months for £180 from multiplay with Ventrillo also.

Problem with this at the moment is, I don't know about you but I find differentiating between friend and foe rather difficult and rely on name tags, which isn't great when you look at a guy, see a tag, ignore him and then die cus it was a tag from a team member the other side of him.

I haven't pre-ordered... I just signed up on the beta website which I just checked and it says there's a chance I will get a key. Oh well I'l just wait for the demo.

JIMBOB if you pre-order from play, they don't take the money out of your account til the game ships, so you can get your key, download the BETA client and then cancel the pre-order if you want to. Canceling the pre-order has no effect on your BETA key.

who cares man,this game throws points at you compared to previous bf games,its not hard to accumalate lots of points on here.You will be back up to your old rank in no time.
 
Anyone know what the white (background) number that appears next to your name and rank mean?

Ive got one its usually 4 or 5 and theres normally 5 or 6 other people in a server that have them numbered between 1-5/6. I thought they were something to do with squads but they also appear on the leaderboards.

EDIT: See Iguana and I have them, any ideas?

i try to follow the rule,"if i cant see a name tag above them then i shoot",as players with the tag are your team,maybe they will tweak this in final release.

Used to run battlefield 1942 servers back in the day so I'm fully aware of the options that can be set, however I was generally speaking about the sniper problems some currently have within this beta and that having Team damage switched on would possibly only shift the problem into other area's.

Personally I'm a sniping whore, I love it and I will find places the enemy doesnt expect me to be so that when I hand them their ass it's more satisfying and a hoot watching them hunt me !! :p !! wookies rule !!
 
Just jumped into a very quick round, and whilst Im sure i can chalk a bit upto me being ill, in 4 days everyone seems to have gotten a lot better. I'm getting killed by all sorts of weapons that weren't there when I first started playing it! Picked up something with a red-dot on it and kills were easy! Still taking FAR too many bullets from the assault rifles to drop anything though. I kept seeing that little white cross pop up on one guy and a mag later he still wasn't down.. what was I doing? Trimming his toe nails?
 
re sniping..

The assault weapons a complete rubbish takes a full clip and more to kill anyone, go sniper heashots galore, and I dont even like sniping or any good at it. Needs addressing in the full version imo.

I just find they're a bit like BF2 weapons, and that is they're not that accurate. Actually firing in bursts at medium range puts guys down pretty fast.
 
So I just bought this on Steam. Beta crashes on launch.. It loads up a window, then fullscreens black with BETA in the top right corner. Then just crashes back to dekstop.

Anyone got any ideas?
 
Pretty sure Marine Iguana would not of added a link if it were not; downloading now. Cheers b.t.w. :)
*Ninja edit. Yup no viruses if thats what you meant :p
Very nice indeed. Thanks again for this heads up. :)
