Played another few quick rounds this evening. The sound on this is stunning, much better than moh, (which i thought was excellent) and streets ahead of bc2. Starting to get a better feel for the controls, though id like to be able to keep the scope/close up sights toggled without holding right click.
 
WHY!!

Why does it sound like someone crushing a tin can when the game first loads up?, it hurts my ears :p

That same sound effect gets played when you hold R to pick up another gun.. it is about 50x louder than everything else.
 
For the como rose i think people have a bit of nostalgia about it from what i remember no one listened to it then and i doubt they will now.

nail on the head, Como Rose really works just like the q key, same result quicker to press. Also the BC2 version and the Alpha version auto tell your team what you need so its not really required, you also get an audio notice, the only thing i do miss is been able to say thank you, without typing it

Also i'm unsure why the 2d spot team dont like it as it pops up on the mini map as well. win win

Well wrong, it adds effective com munition between the whole team, non of this pointing at players in the hope that it works and they respond where there is no voice notification that you actually requested anything, you can't say thanks or sorry with the social key or ask people to bail out. Seems to me that BC2 players have no clue how great some of the BF2 features are and have come accustomed to the poor teamplay mechanics in BC2. Mind you there are massive threads on BF forums around the net requesting it and loads on the alpha forums as well.

well that explains everything.

you're deaf, as the Q key does actually yell what it's saying as well as adding it to the minimap and on screen hud.

what it needs is text adding though.

"<yourname> requests ammo/repair/pick up from <whoever you're looking at>
 
On BC2 Raven when you press q, whatever your request is, your player says they either need some ammo or they need a medic over here, saying thanks or sorry in a war shooter is stupid, once i've got what i want, i'll get straight back into the 'war'.

Raven, really, you can see the vehicle damage and anyone with common sense will know when to bail out.

all the cowards jump out early on me :(

then after my suicide jeep from hell has made it to the mcom/flag i'm all alone as the gits have legged it (and usually died as i drive in open ground :p)



of course the other 50% of the time we all die in a horrific ball of fire and limbs.
 
Got my invite the other day, downloaded fine. But when i try to install it...nothing happens. The cursor flickers for abit and thats it, still says "ready to install" after, wtf?
