I like the weapons in this so far, particularly on the american side, glock 17 and the m16 are fantastic, the sniper rifle is pretty good as well, m110 iirc. Really cant wait to see what weapons will be available in the final game, hoping for a sniper version of the m14, an old fave of mine in delta force black hawk down.
 
I have seen some strange things in Alpha Trial.

One of my team mate was literally just sliding across the map in crouch position without even using his legs.

Another one slided across on his back at such a fast speed and then got blown off by the enemy.:p

An enemy was teleporting left and right continuously. I suppose that was due to lag.

Some really strange stuff:p:D

I guess these are all bugs more or less.
 
1 other thing missing that nobodys even mentioned, the multiple viewing angles when you're in vehicles. Was very handy for spotting little gits coming up behind your tank to plant explosives, now instead of the multi angles we get an interior and third person and thats it. :(

Used to map the rear 3rd person view to 1 of the mouse buttons to look around when capping flags, it was a god send. Really don't like the unlocking of normal stuff like secodary weapons and the likes for vehicles. Whats next you need to unlock fuel to moce the dam vehicles.:(
 
Why lol?

It does work fine.
At least post some reasoned opinions as to why you don't think it works or shut up about it.

He's on a mission mate, you won't convince him any other way - whether he is right or not.

BFBC2 worked just fine - has been a fantastic game since I got it.:cool:

He seems to think he's the only one who put a ton of hours in to BF2. :D
However!!..I do agree to a degree with him about the new spotting (from what I've seen in videos). Perhaps it just needs tweaking.

Suprised the vehicle doesn't arrrive in a flat pack and a team of engineers have to weld it together while the rest of the teams objective is to steal fuel. :p
 
Actually I don't think you do get the audio of your own character, you just hear the auto voices of others players requests, if anyone can post a vid showing players requesting stuff that would be great. Personally I don't like being lead by the hand in online fps, I like to be in control and not have some computer AI acting on behalf of me.

I hear my guy shout it each and every time.
'Attack that objective'
'Hey, give me some ammo'
'Let me repair that for you'
etc etc etc

I like being able to press one key and get on with the game. It's not dumbing down at all.
 
I know it is VERY early days, but lets be honest, this close to release, most of the gameplay will be "locked" in.

Is it better than BF2?

Near impossible to say seeing as vehicle combat is a large part of the experience and in this you only get a LAV to prat about with on one side.

I'm tired I'll let this guy do the talking.

the first one that comes to mind is that with social button you must turn your back to the enemy, turn and look to see IF there is a medic or support guy near and if there is, then you must aim at him and only then hit Q. Getting you shot in the back most likely. And there's a possibility that if you are a medic or support yourself, the transmission that might actually go through is that you are offering medic bag/ammo, not requesting.

Commo rose sends that request to everyone withing hearing range, you don't have to turn your back to the enemy.
