I luckily managed to into one of the EA (MPUK) Caspian servers, I was in a tank within seconds.

So much better than the crappy Metro map.

Have yet to try the tank and jet in que atm, I wish the would add hell fire missiles to the helicopters for the gunner no idea why they got ride them seems stupid
 
The one issue im seeing with caspian is the high contrast look of the map, foliage shadows make infanty very hard to spot in a lot of areas, i was looking down a hillside and a tank of all things was virtually camoflagued because it was in an area where the games pitch black shadows were hiding it.

They really need to look into this or at least give the option to disable colour grading.

Havnt really had much time in jets, the one time i was in the controls felt very sluggish but theyre all on default so it would do i suppose.

Stinger missiles seem a bit hit or miss, seems very easy for a Jet to outrun it since it takes quite a few seconds to lock onto a target. The missile actualy fires like a javelin, it seems to pop out of the launcher then ignite and head towards target, not sure if thats how they actually work or not, but i doubt it. It almost works like a traced vehicle from BC2 once locked on you can fire away from it and it'll still go towards target.
 
Well just had my 1st go of it and while the graphics were excellent, really feel like being in the middle of a warzone, the sound was good and the interface, while a little clunky-feeling, will probably be ok. i found one thing in it that i despise above all other things.

The spawnraping is worse than in CoD. 15 times in a row i was murdered from someone i cant see as soon as i appeared, at best i could take a few steps out, maybe get to a corner. but then bang. dead. Maybe it's a rush thing but that should not be going on. :mad:
 
There is a distracting amount of LOD popin in that jet video :( hope thats just the poster's settings and not how it looks with a high end rig/higher settings.
 
Im prettty sure Jets also need missiles to be unlocked. In my short time in one i had a main cannon and that was it. At this rate i wont be suprised if they make you unlock the main cannon for the tank come retail. :eek:

That's some sort of texture glitch, I don't have that at all when I'm in a jet.
 
HUD

Guys, can someone tell me what all the elements of the HUD in the jet do? Have I got this right (saved from DG's video)?
