Mini map needs changed..[/IMG]

Yeah we were talking about this today its awful. Walking on a road and there's little speks of light blue which define nothing. Buildings are poor also. Very poor overall

Also so many people have multi monitors now why not give us a full map on the secondary

Never had one problem with CMSS-3D on. Every FPS game I've played my sounds have been awesome.

Guess it depends on the quality of the headphones in use, 3D for me sounds distorted and sound positioning is not clear compared to straight forward stereo imaging.

I'm getting sick of muppets on my own team shining lights in my face, it's on par with being flash banged by some idiots in BF2. :mad:

That's exactly what I thought, plus the jerkiness of the game. Not enjoyable whatsoever.

Back To BC2 until final Release (may even cancel my pre-order).

If it's Vram that's causing the jerking then DICE have failed miserably as so many people only have 1GB.

Fingers crossed final will be good and ATI fix the stuttering.

Really hope they do fix the VRAM issue if thats the case the stuttering is rather annoying

Has anyone lost the marking so you can't tell who's an enemy?!

is it not just your PC that could be the problem ?

I have a stock i7 @ 3.2 : 460GTX 1gig : 6gig ram and it runs smooth as something very smooth

both maps were great, caspian was taxing the rig more but still great.

I always found that if you pick your resolution first and set stuff to low then gradually change and tweak makes things far less painfull.

Really starting to get wound up by other peoples torches in my face and being pushed, you're trying to keep safe while protecting the team and some **** pushes you into it :mad:

torches are annoying, one aspect I'd like removed.

had that a few times and it really messes up your game, literaly not knowing who to shoot at

Sounds amazing with headphones.

What sound settings are people using with a soundcard installed?

liamcrane · 30 Sep 2011 at 19:29

Anyone had any luck assigning mouse button controls or is it borked for the beta

Exactly! I've joined 3 servers, still the same... weird. Fairly unplayable, hope ... they come back!

So eventually got to play this & while gameplay is OK the character models are awful looking, as if they've all been eating Ready-Brek in the tunnel sections; faces looked crap too in comparison to BC2 and the game to me, lacks a bit of grittiness - Arica Harbour etc.

Bit disappointed so far and not sure if its worth spending the dough on a new card; would have been happier with a good map back for BC2.

You think? Will be bloody ****ed off if this lot wont run it.

i7 @ 4ghz

5970 + 5870 trifire

6 GB of ram

If this can't run it without jerking then good luck to the rest of you.

Frenzy · 30 Sep 2011 at 19:35

Yep my own teammates are constantly blinding me with flashlights and lasers. Very annoying. The thing is sometimes they arent even shining them in my direction, I'm viewing the weapon from the side and it still blinds me !

Yes, it is pretty unplayable atm. In the last round i was killed 5 times by the same player and his killcam just showed it hovering all around the level killing people.

Also people who are cancelling preorders(lol) I don't understand why you would preorder before playing the beta if it was going to have this much effect?

same feelings, mate.Characters are freaking ugly and that "russian" accent is terrible lol

Gerard · 30 Sep 2011 at 19:45

Have to agree with the Character faces, they just have a blank expression to them, its probably highlighted best in the caspian border trailer, a guy gets stabbed and its just a blank look on his face.

That ones been making me rage something rotten lately! :mad:

Im almost always support, so usually im positioned somewhere stratigic slightly behind the front line, so usually well within spawning area, and close to where the action will be for people to spawn on me as a shortcut to going whereever they want to be, and they'll just plough straight through you without a damn care in the world :mad:

The number of times ive been shoved out of trains when lay prone in the doorway, or pushed out of a nice cosy safe spot ive made for myself, into somewhere that leaves me exposed from a wider angle than my FOV sees, and having to shuffle backwards means momentarilly taking you out of the action, cos if someone pops up you've then got to either wildly spray and pray, or wait to scope and pray your not spotted lying there like a right pudding.

They dont think to go around you, or jump over you, nooo, you just trample all over me and kick me around.
