Don't assume I was camping.

It has happened multiple times when I've moved to an objective after clearing it and then I scout around for any left over enemies. I take a seat somewhere to check no one else is coming and then I get knifed from no where.

Also camping is part of the game when defending an objective. Take that attitude elsewhere, it is a TEAM based game.

i must agree that snipers can hide very well in foilage, and enemies are not easy to see even though sometimes you can get the flare from the sniper.
i have been knifed once or twice, and can get abit annoying if you dont know where your getting shot from.

Can you swap teams & squads easily in the beta? Had a terrible time trying to play with friends in the alpha

Is Open Beta running yet?

Vanilla · 29 Sep 2011 at 11:31

Hey quick question, if I buy the game now can I still get into the open beta?

It's out on 360 but I can't find it for pc yet

Strife212 · 29 Sep 2011 at 11:32

Yes, you can also get into it if you don't buy the game in an hour or two.

You don't need to buy the game for open beta.

do you guys who use headphones turn stereo mode on or off?

I not sure if it just turns up the volume but atm I have have on + war tapes.

I use goldring ns-1000.

Shame we can't shoot and stuff on a empty server then I can test out the sound better for each setting.

I just had a look in the console forum, a lot of hating going on! Anybody played both versions, is it really that much worse than pc? Or is it because they are stuck with rush on metro, which to be fair isn't the best example of the game?

Would appear so. I know it's out for round about 12/1 today, unless I'm missing something

Like i said a hundered posts back, maybe they want Rush to be the mainstream gametype for Battlefield, rather than Conquest?

I have no issue with this. In BFBC2 all I ever play is Rush, really, as I just don't have time for a full Conquest match. Many of the Rush games I play only last 15-20 mins or so, which is ideal for me most of the time. However, when I know I've got a good hour or two to spare for some gaming then a good match of Conquest is perfect.

conquest has always been the staple mode in battle field, well atleast until they released rush in bc1, never could stand rush its a terrible game mode
