I'm still amazed how simple things like being able to make your own squad have had to be patched in as a result of feeback.

It was a experiment that failed. Fair play on DICE for listening to the community though, I can see the full release being a lot more different to the Alpha. Since the update I've found that servers are a lot more responsive.

Experimenting by removing something as basic as squad management makes me wonder if they even play their own games lol.

Massive oversight, couldn't believe it myself. The other night I was put in a squad with two complete morons who spent the entire time camping/diying on retard island out in the middle of the pond, so I clicked 'leave squad' and then 'find squad' and it would only put me straight back in a squad with them :rolleyes:

They stayed there even after the action had moved into the metro tunnels.....

Oh dear.

Did I miss something? has it been confirmed that squad management is in BF3.

Sod that I can say right now that I will be playing Karkand 24/7 inf constantly!!! I could play Metro for hours and hours and not get bored which to me says it’s a true BF game, so god knows what i'm going to be like on Karkand.

same as me... I dont actually like the BF maps that are 400km.

An APC and a tank is more than enough. I hope BF3 has some great infantry based maps

How can BC2 conquest be any different from BF3 conquest..

I think RUSH mode is possibly one of the best things to come into the BF franchise, if we have no commanders Conquest is just crud i said it before ill say it again.

All im getting from BC2 > BF3 is some prone and a few "enemy fast movers" to quote Sgt. Folley of MW fame.

I am not dissing the game i am gladly pre ordering and i will play the hell out of it but my BF2 rose tinted goggles are gone.

RavenXXX2 · 4 Oct 2011 at 14:25

Sad to see that in a battlefield game. Hopefully it will be balanced out becuase there is way to much OP stuff in at the moment.

lol i almost expected a Kill streak reward to pop up watching that shot

Both are my games yep MW maybe 60 -40 over BF series - But ill still stick by saying without a commander the games lost its way.

I havent played MOH yet, do people still play it might give that a try.

weyland yutani · 4 Oct 2011 at 14:28

34k is a drop in the oceon surely. A big proprtion of them will still buy it within a few days or weeks of release anyway guarenteed.

Gerard · 4 Oct 2011 at 14:31

The people cancelling probably never got the chance to play Caspian, jokes on them

Indeed, its a BETA and the final version will have patches / fixes and if not releases will come out. I played Caspian and it was fantastic.

decampo · 4 Oct 2011 at 14:34

You do realise that the 34k order cancellation was a photoshop job right? Someone created a false Tweet from @Battlefield and made it look genuine. Simple as that and not true. Think about it - what company would openly announce that it was losing pre-orders? Hardly good marketing is it?

I'm still amazed people actually believe this.

weyland yutani · 4 Oct 2011 at 14:34

Hows the beta running on your rig Gerard? Must be smooth as butter maxed out :cool:
