The map they gave us for the Alpha is pretty poor. The 3rd stage isn't too bad through.

Commo rose or something needs be added to aid communication, 3D spotting is a complete joke. If it remains in the game i can see it literally ruining the game.

All in all seems pretty nice, feels smooth and not like your moving in treacle like you did in BC2. Weapons feel satisfying to use and have a nice recoil to them.

Also runs surprisingly smooth on my i5 / 5870 setup.

How is it going to change though ?

You can bet right now gameplay wise there won't be much difference with this alpha code and the final code.

Dice are considering the commo-rose after a community backlash over it, if this makes it in and we can disable 3D spotting on the server side then I know I will enjoy BF3. There is a lot missing out the alpha code IMO.

Thats good to hear they are at least considering it. I have seen your posts in here and always though bah 3D spotting was ok in BC2. But after going back to BF2 the other week and reminding my self, it is fairly cheap and is a console feature, but hey BC2 was a console port so it did'nt bug me too much.

The new system in BF3 is better. But if they just give the option to turn it on/off on the server then it keeps everyone happy. Overall for alpha it's quite good, hit reg is really good compared to other BF games, but its all about conquest 64 player, thats where my main judgment will rest.

Just have to wait till beta to see all the extras they haven't put into alpha.

I'm still disappointed with the key bindings, they could at least put them in the alpha.
 
See the spotting doesent bother me as I will be playing HC mode anyway, always prefer HC, reduced hud, no spotting, deadlier bullets.

Indeed, i would have thought controls and mouse settings would be at the top of the list of features to be done first.

Or maybe they just all plugged in XBOX controllers? :p

Sorry but you can disable 3d spotting i nbc2 yet you both still bitch and moan about it there why the hell will it suddenly stop you whining now?

The only slight way it doesn't feel "battlefield" is cause of the size of the map, that will all disappear when faced with a massive sprawling 64 player vehicular assault.

Disagree, the jury is still out whether it will feel like old school battlefield.

Let's wait and see with future builds what happens ... my opinion is though in the end they won't dissolve the arcade gameplay no matter what tweaks they do here and there ^^
 
Agreed 64 conquest is where it is at, to hell with rush.:p

A few more vids, engineer blowtorch and a funny alpha bug which has been reported on the alpha bug forum.

I don't know what you want, but I don't want a re-skinned BF2, I want it to have the scale obviously but times have moved on! Technology has advanced and we should embrace it! :D

I also don't find it "arcadey" at all, it feels more gritty and real than BF2.

lol not arcade like, I disagree, 3D spotting and 100% health regen says casual gameplay to me, as well as the point and click social key that acts as the spotting key as well. It's all to simple at the moment, I as a PC gamer would like more depth in the sequel to BF2 not less.

Yeah I see what you're saying, and for those reasons I'm gonna be playing hardcore mode!

Commo rose would be good, or just some sort of radio button system
 
This has 3D spotting? I would never have guessed! :rolleyes: Bring it up some more times, perhaps someone will start to care.

I agree with the commo rose tho, would be nice to be able to issue proper orders/requests.
