I suppose in the final release, well be able to choose our own soldier name? Not like this were they just use your ea master id.

Yep same here, ******

Can't be ****** to do it now, Alpha is nearly over, and i would expect them to not use my EA Master ID when this game is released, if it is used, i'd expect to be able to change it.

I would both assume and hope so. That is how it worked in BC2 and the F2P Battlefield game they made anyway (the name escapes me atm).

Its right up there in annoyance levels with the message saying "you can't join a server since its changing maps". :confused:

It's a shame Alpha will be over soon. I am really beginning to get into this game

. It becomes very addictive once you get to know the map and the general feel (gameplay, graphics, mechanics, etc) of the game.

When I first started playing it, I kept getting killed and almost gaveup on it. At the beginning I didn't have much positive opinion of it.

But now everything is changing :cool:

Edit: Although I still think the contrast is quite high in the metro map especially in the park area. Some areas I feel are just too bright.

Game seems to be broken after new client?

I'm seeing people floating across the screen like ghosts

Gerard · 29 Jul 2011 at 22:55

Don't seem to get points for kill assist anymore, supression seems to have taken that spot even if you do take half of someones energy away.

I had that earlier on, to be honest I just laughed. I've also seen when you shoot people from the side sometimes their body flys across the map and then returns.

Spotting is doing my head in now, it's not that i'm getting spotted, it's the things i'm pulling off due to spotting, i shouldn't be able to kill someone i can't even see.
