I thought the gold was the same price as normal retail?

Pestilence · 12 Jun 2008 at 01:10

Deleted the demo after playing for about 15 minutes. Absolutely terrible.

no? its limited edition.

One thing I do want from the retail (But I know I wont get) is proper squad commands and controls like the ones in Battlefield 2.

If I use the 'custom game' option and invite my friend to the squad before joining a server sometimes it doesnt put us on the same team, or in the same squad, I would love the ability to change teams and pick my squad. And as a squad leader I would love the ability to set waypoints (Although its not that important with the voice comms built in).

Edited in: In battlefield 2 I think they got the squad and commander system perfected, its just a shame they missed that part out of this installment of BF, it would really hadd something.

I've seen it mentioned clearly on here on no less than 2 occasions.

the gold is basically like a tin edition, then theres a normal version. which is just well basic.

the gold gives you a poster, 5 extra weapons at any rank, and also a Bonus DVD.

I'm not a retard thanks.

It seems that it's the PS3 version that can be had for the same price at the regular version.

I played this a lot during the beta and loved it, are there quite a lot of OcUKers getting in on the BC action?

Thinking about trading in GTA4 and getting either this or COD4? Good/bad idea?

I acctually joined one of the servers you were on but got heavy lag + I was playing crap lol. I rejoined after finding the source of my lag but ended up on the wrong team, you can't change teams for some reason

I vote we split the thread, a seperate 'Is Kreeeee a retard' thread might just get this one back on topic.
For the record, my vote is no, the man simply has an opinion he's entitled to.

KNiVES · 12 Jun 2008 at 09:10

I would vote yes anonymously.

Oh wai-

I'm only kidding please don't hurt me

I've only just got around to playing the demo of this on the PS3, loved it to bits, the only annoying thing is not being able to go prone.

Booner! · 12 Jun 2008 at 10:14

I will be buying this once my expenses get paid. Throughly enjoyable, though has lag online and the map doesn't zoom out (should be mapped to the dpad?).

P.s. WHAT DOES THE TRACER GUN DO?!

Also, anyone find that landing a damaged helicopter a nightmare? They are great fun though. I think the game engine is a great way to test the ground before battlefield 3 comes out. If they can replicate the 64 man battles for Oman with the damage involved and jets, BF3 will be amazing (if they release it finished).

Ewanb75 · 12 Jun 2008 at 10:17

Yes,i just started playing the other night, and the lag was terrible and was incredibly sluggish last night. and yes, what does the tracer gun do??

This is a fairly crucial flaw in an otherwise excellent demo.

RoachycaL · 12 Jun 2008 at 10:44

I really hope the jets and helicopters in battlefield 3 aren't as powerful and impossible to take down as they were in BF2. I remember being bombed sooooo many times by passing over jets and found it very difficult to take them down - very unbalanced that was

Anyone else agree with me?

I think the tracer gun just makes the tank or whatever stay on your map and become visible on everyone else's HUD (the orange icon) but I haven't used it myself

So it can be "traced"
