agreed that metro map is horrid

I don't see why people dislike it so much. It's got a fantastic design of staged elements. The balance is really good and rewards teamwork and flanking.

I am still having some reservations about weapon shooting and movements.

When trying to look for cover as shots are coming from enemy direction, the player movement feels heavy and bulky, like he won't be able to get to cover quick and die in the process.

I don't know, may be I am too much under the influence of CS Source atm.

People with the HD4xxx series of cards, what drivers are you using?

Are you holding down shift? Do you have the light weight perk on? Nothing feels heavy then.

If the join as a party system working who is up for a few games in a bit ?

LeJosh · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:40

Sprint rank 2 is hella fast.

What's that option and where do I find it?

If you're rank 2, go to customise in the menu and pick a class to edit the loadout, should be the bottom option, I think.

Vulcan · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:43

It's an unlockable item, once you've got it, just go into customize loadout.

Edinho · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:45

After all the problems getting it to work ive got it working.

I must say im loving it. Looks and runs amazing and it actually feels like im playing a proper soldier unlike BFBC2. To sum it up I think theyve taken the best parts of both BC2 and MOH and put them together. Impressed so far.

Thanks

I think I will definitely give it a try once I am rank 2

What an awful beta, spending most of the time on this crap battlelog watching servers fill up before I can hover over the join button.

I think the server browser is great, much better than old menus.
With the 5+ filter ticked I find I can join a game pretty quickly.

Spyke_UK · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:50

^^ Use the filters!

dr_volki · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:50

Definitely many many more servers are needed.

In my case

Operation metro: 100 servers (32 x 100 = 3200 players total)

Caspian border: 32 servers (64 x 32 = 2048 players total)

All together 5248 player slots

while there are probably 3-4 million open beta players

Hmm surely that can't be right lol :confused:
