BC2 BETA... Your thoughts and SCREENSHOTS of it

guess its the same bug as the red dot scope from assault when you want to use it on other classes i.e. medic

Not sure as ive never tried that one, for the 4x its go to recon, select it, then go to assault and spawn and you spawn with it on your rifle.
 
Had my 1st go at this last night, other than the already mentioned, takes too many shots to kill someone & feels weird with no prone, i like it!

Couple of n00b questions, can keys be re-assigned? can crouch be toggled? how do i find H/C servers?
 
1 - Yes you can reassign keys, go into options you wil soon find it
2 - No, no crouch toggle, really hope this is available in the full release as my finger kills constantly holding it down

Oh and HC servers have Hardcore in the title but be aware you might have to select the drop down on the server to make sure it is actually HC as some say they are and quite clearly ar not HC
 
Played BF2 to the death, 2142 for a good year and this is just a great game even in beta.

One thing we need is more scenery! more buildings and generally things to blow up! :D

I find the advantage this has over its predecessor's is that you can find action pretty much afrer 10 seconds or so. in BF2 for instance you could run around for 5 minutes and not see an enemy.

Let's hope all of the maps are like this.

Deathmatch is going to be insane, they need to give us some close quarters maps!
 
Ita funny how many people on defence will hide in areas already overrun to try and get behind the attackers as they move onto the next set of objectives. I normally spend some time running around to see if i can spot any, had a few handy knife kills doing that. :D
 
Heres an interesting little vid, as well as a machinegun upgrade the uav also gets a pretty powerful zoom function so it can stay further away from people shooting at it

Had my first go on Friday. Miss prone, and haven't figured out how to spot, talk to teammates etc yet. Felt like a fish out of water, but looking forward to getting into it.

PLayed OK on my rig: Q6600@3Ghz, Asus 5770 @1650x1050; Win 7
 
Yeah but how long are you playing for if your finger gets sore? I get the feeling you're a filthy sniper!!!!! :mad:

LOL no.....

If its a class i hate it recon, I'd rather run around assault, killing snipers with the knife and shooting poeple in the face :). sniping away in the background is just too boring for me....

But to be honest the amount of time I spend crouching through bushes and around buildings I sooo sick of holding down C
 
Ok I just gave it another go, and actually had a better game. But I still don't like it on the PC. I came top of the server as well so it's nothing to do with my ability to play the game. However even though I came top I still didn't really enjoy it.

The frame rate is a bit iffy, and turning it down to low doesn't seem to do much I think it's pointless having a "settings" option when the highest vs. lowest settings don't really change anything :confused:

It is a lot buggier and choppier on the PC, hit reg is also a lot more obvious - it's bad.

And as the person above me said, the pc fanbase doesn't seem as willing to work as a team and get to the objective, they would rather camp.. when they are ATTACKING lol or they would rather just run AROUND the objective rather than go TO the objective lol.

Plus the very feel of the movement, along with the big guns that take up a large portion of the screen etc, it just doesn't feel like a PC game. It's clear that they originially made this on the Xbox 360 and then ported it to the PS3 and PC.

I think the game is "ok" on the PC, providing you have a top notch PC to play it at, a decent server that doesn't lag, and a group of people who are willing to complete the objectives.

Play on combattesting server,thse guys will show you how to play the game as it should be played,most of them are BF2 veterans who already know how to pilot a chopper correctly and know how to work in there squad alongside other squads,all CT members are also in Teamspeak also like myself so were always communicating,you will get a good challenging game on here wether you win,lose or draw.
 
Of course I have gathered that lol it's hard not to when it says "BETA" / "DEMO" at the top. However the "BETA" is being patched, so it is pretty much up to the demo standard anyway. Plus, it doesn't matter how much they patch it, PC gamers seem to prefer to camp and snipe rather than get into the action. Do you honestly believe just because it is a "BETA" that it will change that much, of course it won't, games don't really change that much, BETA is the final testing before release, they will only make a few optimsations and balancing tweaks, they aren't going to improve the performance dramatically over night, nor will they improve the hit reg to that extent.

there camping because it dont matter as all stats wll be reset,sometimes i camp when i cant be bothered to play rush tactics,thing is in the full game if you camp you lose because you will need to rush with your team to secure objectives wether it be m-coms or flags(conquest)not everyone cares about winning in beta,all they care about is there soldiers rank and unlocks and frag count,this will all change when game is released as people will be forced to rush when there attacking especially...also if you think camping is bad now,think what it would be like with prone...10 times as bad;)

+1 to that, after a defense game my finger is aching! all depends on whos attacking though, if they are like a lot of the time 80% snipers you have to duck around a lot :p

hopefully maps will be in small medium and large just like bf2 so u can have some close quarter quick games....example,karkand...hotel,square and market flags only.
