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's worse, high ping and really poor fps. That's what happens when a game is available for free though.

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..

My squad actually had 5 in it at one point, not sure what happened, was just some randoms. :eek:
 
Convergence adjusts the "depth" of the 3D effect to make it more or less emphasised - if the convergence point is too close you'd be going crosseyed, too far and you can lose the sense of depth.
 
Well played it for first time tonight and I think it's pretty good. Don't particularly care for the metro map though and as usual in games, the good parts of the map only get played once the bad ones are passed - which doesn't happen often.

Need some hardcore servers though because all this shooting someone with 5-6 bullets to drop them is ridiculous in an 'army' game. Have always thought so, and always will. If you're going to go through the trouble of replicating guns/vehicles/experience, then you can't have unrealistic damage.

Runs smooth with everything set to high, 4x AA and HBAO on my 5850 - not that it matters as I've just bought a second one for ULTRA YAHHHH


btw how does spotting work now?

IMO the crap thing abut hardcore whislt realistic it means shorter ''life time''.

I mean it sucks when 1 shot and yor dead. At least on vanilla you can get cover and regain health and play longer without dieing

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 :(

I've seen entire squads prone from their spawn all the way to the MCOMs, but people whined about prone in BC2 and how it was so essential for the 'pure' BF experience -- but thats what it essentially is -- lamers wanting to be lame.

Also thats a known bug, If you were moving whilst he shot at you then he would kill you in one hit with any gun he was using. I don't quite understand why people would play a beta past the point of learning that, there is practically nothing you can learn about how this game plays / how the weapons are balanced etc to make your own mind up on or give any reliable feedback with a bug like that in it. We're just load testing bunnies for battelog atm :(

Which M-COM? If it's A, then there is a glitch where you can drop below the ground and shoot people through the floor, you can practically shoot people from a long way away as well. It may have been fixed, because i haven't managed to encounter it again.

I would also like to vent about the scope for the M249 Support weapon, why on earth can i still see the ironsight through my scope attachment? No other weapon does this.
