I though the eye could only perceive 30fps?

Or am I wrong?

You're wrong.

The jets are way too OP'd when it comes to the helos. You can literally destroy them in a couple seconds with one pass.

Personally I think it should be left to ground targets to challenge the helo, because it's not as though the helo is ever going to take on a jet.

The FPS debate is not straightforward. Normal movies are not distinct frames like a computer will produce.
If you are talking absolutes then Jet pilots have the ability to discern upto 400 distinct frames per second, movies contain merged vision

Even I can tell between 30 and 60 fps and Im sure some need 100 but it depends on the game, server, monitor and other factors whether it actually helps gameplay or not

I find consistency is the most important factor, so minimum frames per second is usually the neglected stat that matters most

Lol Raven, seems no one listens to you over there much either, toys out the pram big style

Yeah, because the jets fly so slow it's very easy to get a bead on a helo and rip it to shreds with the canon. I'm hoping the helo's get guided Air-to-Air missles as an unlock...

Some top 1080p jet footage, nice overview of the jets cockpit.

How do you look around inside the cockpit?

I agree that cannon fire isn't very powerful. I kept on trying to shoot enemy jets but they always flew like not much happened to them.

Viewing enemy jets seem pretty tricky aswell.

The helis controls are pretty poor aswell

The unlocks are crazy no need for them at all, this is a legacy of the console players,they need unlocks etc for epenises.
All unlocks do is give the great players even more powerful weapons to kill more inexpereanced players.
Why not give the 2 opposing forces there countries weapons and let the players choose from a few different guns etc.
If people want all these unlocks etc they should stay on consoles.
The satisfaction of your team winning should be enough and set up leauges so they can compete, i think it would stop a lot of the lone rangers who are out to base camp so they can unlock the next scope jesus give us a break......
The game will be good but as for dice to say this was developed for pc then ported to console reecks of crap the game is very console based prob to do with the frostbite engine.....
I was enjoying the beta to a point played some 30 hrs but more and more problems keep appearing getting shot dead after your prone behind something ****fffgtr me off and fact it takes about 1\2 a second to record hits some time
Pity the game wasnt more ro2 based ie no unlocks etc and try to encorage team,squad play instead of lone gunning

I agree with this 100% At the very least, unlocks need to be massively reduced. If you don't play the game a hell of a lot you are going to be at a massive disadvantage against many other players.

silversurfer · 7 Oct 2011 at 18:17

I got a CB server with 50 players but it just loads with a black screen

Unlocks or just balance in general needs disadvantages so some rocket launcher should slow people down etc

WingZero30 · 7 Oct 2011 at 18:19

The planes and helis imo can only be played properly with a joystick or atleast with a analogue sticks pad like ps3.

I personally find trying to control planes and helis with mouse very unnatural. Plus when flying jets, it seems they have no feel of weight to them

I quite like BC1 and BF2 Unlock weapon system with each level few levels you get a Unlock point for a weapon of your choicee.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 7 Oct 2011 at 18:22

Quite a bit of a hit of the Caspian map with regards FPS in places, anyone else notice this? I thought Metro was a hard one.

setter · 7 Oct 2011 at 18:24

Had a blast on a cb server earlier, fps was pretty similair to metro, but then there wasnt a great deal of players on. Ill probably see more of a hit on a busier server.

They should have used that system.

Yeah we cant all spend our lifes playing the game ,and if you cant play a lot as i and you say your gona get raped buy someone who has unlocked a infra red heat seeking tree the corner avoiding ahole seeking potato :-)

If dice truly knew the pc fan base of bf2 etc they would know we dont care about an unlock every min or a ribbon award .
It would have held far more weight to dices statment of being pc lead if they had done away with unlocks and focused on the pc greatest thing mature gamers,who dont need ribbons to be satisfied.
By all means leave tne unlocks etc in for consoles...... i need to post this on battlelog lol

I agree.

Have some fundamental unlocks available for PC while rest can be delegated to consoles especially ribbons. Personally the simpler upgrade system there is, the more the satisfaction is derived by concentrating more on the game and not on the unlocks a lot.
