They need to make it more obvious where on the map I will be spawning. Every time I spawn, I have to pause for a second and really look, as half of the time its just not obvious enough.

Also, another thing that gets on my ****.... When one of our flags is getting captured say 300 meters away or something, it doesn't make it obvious as to which direction it is. I will look around trying to figure out which flag is actually getting captured but by that time it's too late.

I use the minimap to know which flags are being capped. The diamonds from left to right are in sequence A, B, C, D etc. Also the world icons at CPs show you where there is conflict and also there is a circular count-down or count-up telling you what is going on.

I use the minimap a lot for muzzle flash, spots and obviously locations.

I don't really know what you mean by making it more obvious where you spawn. When you move up and down through squad members and capture points it clearly shows your selection on the map and it also shows you a follow cam of where you will spawn on the main screen.
 
How are the servers coping? I played this non stop on Thursday for around 13 hours and things were perfect no complaints at all but I haven't been able to play since then because I haven't been home, a lot of my friends have been saying they have been getting kicked out of servers and the lag at times has been horrendous. Back on tonight so hoping things run smoothly.
 
Have to say I'd been very bored of online FPS last few years but getting right back into it here. I think this game is really intense when it gets going.

My only issues so far are that Operation Metro and that one with the big long dark tunnel are not set up very well for Conquest mode. Especially the latter map. If one team gets the middle and pushes up they can sit in the dark and pick off anyone coming in from the light. On the other hand though, those maps can generate some great fights for them iddle ground which are fun.

I haven't played the others but I think it's great that you level up each vehicle seperately etc. Stops people just camping in tanks levelling up their guns and perks.


Oh yeah, 2 other complaints though - not sure if others have this? But I join a squad with friends and I always seem to end up on the other team...Everyone else was on the same team except me and it's happened all 3 seperate times we played together. Then it never lets me change team afterwards.
The 2nd being when I do get on a team with a friend none of us can choose a squad. Select a free squad name, then click on it and nothing at all happens.

last night i decided to uninstall this and clear out my ps3 Hdd, then reinstall just to see if the Input lag i suufer would go, it could be a placebo or i could just be getting into it, but it deffinatly feels better.

actually finishing with positive KD for a change, and killing people up close instead of dying, ive also just found the Scar H which i have to say is awesome, really powerfull and pretty much wins up close.

Last night i was having fun for a change.
 
another thing which is stupid.

Is if you bail out of a heli/plane you could be in 'out of bounds' area. So you die within 10 seconds. I am sure on BF2 you just ended up with a long walk. Think the out of bounds is not sensible when in aircraft.

(PS3)

Also you can shoot lights out in tunnels etc, but yes the bulb stops working/shining but it does not actually dim that area, which would help for sneaking around.

There has been out of bounds on all BF games, since 1942

The mini map is good but when you don't know the maps off by heart, It's not all that great. I don't know where A,B,C,D are on each point on each map. For all i know, B is where A is etc. I guess I'll get used to it in time, but for now, it sucks.

When there's a lot of firefighting going on it's difficult to actually see where you are spawning. They could at least change the blue circle with the dot (spawning icon) to a different colour. It was perfect in BC2, not so much in BF3.
