Any one know if this is a game bug or is it it cheating?

It's happened to me a few times, the same thing happens in BC2 as well, I just presumed it was people cheating and stopped playing.:(
 
Pretty disappointed so far..

- No destruction
- No vehicles
- No big maps

Feels like I'm playing CoD.

Since Alpha, it's been ~2 months? Yet all I've seen is some tweaked 3D spotting and Graphic settings. It doesn't appear to run, feel or even come as an improvement over the Alpha. What have they been doing for the past 2 months?

I'd hardly call this a "Beta" feels more like a "Demo" to me, they haven't even given us anything to test (That hasn't already been tested on Alpha).
 
Im getting so fed up of being killed by some ******** who couldn't possibly have seen me or "instakilled" by some tool spraying. Also, people with flashlights can get sodomised, doesnt seem to be anyone who can figure out that T toggles the flashlight and the laser on and off... :mad:

I was waiting for someone to appear at the mcom I was to defend it, suddenly it goes off there was no one there. I got up, looked about and this guy appeared he didn't even run to the mcom just appeared!. I fired my gun at him, I had the first shot and everything was spot on.

I died

Rage quit :(

Haha, I rage quit not long after you.

It seemed much more "broken" tonight than it has previously. Plenty of hits registered on the targetting reticle, but Killcam shows enemy with 100%?!

Random screen getting stuck on blue tint after you spawn.

Getting kicked after each "map change".

Loads of people no-scoping 1 shot kills now. There's no way a sniper should be running around with RDS taking people out at close range, just nonsense.

Pecheneg, always getting ripped to shreds from a bazillion miles away by a pecheneg.

And I keep getting blinded by torches IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

Definitely needs a LOT of work tidying it up around the edges and smoothing out the creases. The basic game is all there, just needs tightening up. Rush is a spaz-fest too. That map is so narrow, flanking is almost impossible.

And why oh why, if we have to have killcam does it have to be right up in the guy's face, or more often than not, actually inside his head?! Just pan it out a little to make it look less spaz-like.

Yeah derp spray and pray can net you a lot of kills especially the support class with scope :rolleyes:, just hope it's mainly down to the bug and in the retail game it's less **** taking.

Do you mean the control bindings in the BF3 settings?

Setpoint assigns key strokes to your mouse buttons so it should work, you can also set up a profile on setpoint to only use it when you play a certain game

It's bugged to hell and back.

I set Key Strokes to mouse buttons on my RAT7. It did not work.

I had to do a macro to do a Keystroke Down > DELAY of at least ~0,6Seconds > Keystroke Up.

It would NOT register the binding unless there was some delay in the keystroke up registering.

No Delay = No worky. For me anyway. Maybe it's some ancient anti cheat measure to stop people spamming keystrokes at silly speeds?

Really dislike Metro now, doubt I'd play it again in the full version. The map forces all the worst aspects of BF gameplay (camping and spamming) in order to do well. Infact really dislike rush, more so than in BC2. Seems an odd way to demo a new Battlefield game... Keep getting one shotted (it seems from my POV) which is hugely annoying but not as annoying as emptying a half clip into someone at close range (and seeing the targeting reticule register hits) only for them to fire one burst and shred you, then seeing they have 100% health in the stupid killcam! :mad:

I have the same problem but I wonder what the cause is. Is it high ping and generally not so great broadband (the case with me) or is it just the way the game is or the servers are set up, or just the nature of a beta?

It is strange that in a battlefield game i find it much better when inside the Metro level as opposed to the outside bits. Maybe it is just the first set of M-com stations though, i don't think that part of the level is very good at all tbh.
Click to expand...

I agree. It is much more fun in the underground bit. The outside areas are just irritating!
 
Hurray!
Finally got my first go of Beta this afternoon, been stalking this thread for ages.
Really impressed with it: Especially the Caspian Border videos.
Sure it ain't perfect, with some funny glitches, like stretchy prone :)
An some annoying things like uber flashlight an death laser an terrain glitches!
But I really enjoyed it, even though it took an hour of playing to get my first kill.
Graphics look amazing... An give my Rig a good workout. :)

Placed my pre-order, an role on release day.
PS: would 6950 Toxic Crossfire be overkill at 1900x1200?
 
When the first M-com's are taken and it moves to the station itself it's great fun. Reminds me a little of the little alleys and passages that you got in Karkand on BF2. Hate the first section though and not a huge fan of the exterior section on the street at the end either.
 
Metro is aimed to suck in all the COD players - Running and gunningon that can really rack up kills if that is all you care about, EA aint silly.

They know the Die hards will but it regardless - they want as few people as possible to play the huge maps cos they are frankly "boring" tactical affairs, infact with no commander they will still be 4 v 4 v4 v4 v4 its gonna suck with no overall organisation - a headless mob of zerg noobs bouncing from flag to flag..
