The only thing that is annoying me about this game is the game modes and being unable to play a mode that you want to play.
I want to play domination but the only way at the moment is to play with Infantry focus mode that is a mix of TDM, Domination and Frontlines and Frontlines is just terrible/broken. Games can take up to 90 minutes which is stupid it can be an hour anyway but when you add the bugs it takes even longer.
Dice should just remove it until it's playable or at least add the option to play the modes you want.
I'm not sure if it's just the Xbox having a small community/not many players but the advanced search now show 0 servers and finding a game is taking ages even for conquest (which I don't really want to play) and when you eventually get a games there's only a few players in it.
Hopefully this will change next week when people start playing the standard version.
All these issues! Its a wonder why anyone bought this game on release!
What issues?
Ok maybe a few bugs and improvements needed but I have played over the weekend on Xbox no problem.
There are issues, Sounds is very poor, no footsteps and very poor directional sound for gun fire.
Instant deaths from certain guns like the KE7.
End of game screen never showing, the in game customise screen locking up.
sights not aligned on tank guns in 3rd person.
Blenheim bomber 3rd person mode the plane is to close to you so you can't see the bomb reticle.
players spawning on player being shot at and damaged, died so many times to this it's unreal, yet when i try to spawn on a squad mate whos suppressed it never works.
Last night was an odd one, one round could do very well kill players without issues, the next round it was the complete opposite, players would sponge your bullets and turn and kill you in an instant.
The Ju-88 needs a serious nerf, I'm not a good pilot but with just level 2 it has 16 50kg bombs and 4 250kg bombs, on Twisted steel i went 44/3 one of those deaths was due to auto spawn at the round start, on Hamada i jumped into again and flew straight to their spawn killed 5 guys and destroyed 2 tanks, I now have level 4 with another 2 bombs which are 1000kg lol.
I have also switched my Xbox triggers to the bumpers as it's instant response, using the fully upgraded M1A1 on Devastation i went 65/17 the gun is a beast.
oh right. Thats ok thenWhat issues?

It didn't comeFingers crossed for delivery today
Ok, I can't say i have noticed these issues myself even if they were present, also what do you mean about the Xbox triggers to bumpers?
in the menu go to controller and customise, then you can map the triggers to the shoulders and the shoulders to the triggers, as the spotting is gone now i can use the bumpers for aim and shooting as there is less travel to press the buttons you aim quicker and can tap fire quicker, i then use the triggers for grenades and orders.
Cheers, I think I will stick with the default, feels more natural to me.
Coming to the end of my trial, feelings are the same on this game.
- Where are the shadows? The characters just seem to float around the map and the running animations are garbage
- Feels like this game is moving towards COD, less vehicles, more weapon colours and customisations, V1 rockets (FO with that)
- Tanks are sitting ducks which is probably why you rarely see anyone spawn one
- Game doesn't give you that 'grand' feeling like previous games, maps seem and feel smaller
- The medic guns are trash (at least the ones I've unlocked are, perhaps there are better options further down the tree)
- Everyone on assault who has it unlocked is running the STG so I would assume there could be balancing issues, if I die to assault you can rest assured it's via STG
- The recon class is all but dead
- Where are all the guns? Compare the number of guns Vs something like BF4 or even BF1. One shotgun?
- Way too many defects to mention in the SP. Couple of favs though: corpses reanimating then falling back down again, reload animations locking the animation so you cant see half the screen until you swap weapons and back again, water animation at distance looks Sega Genesis quality, texture pop in, objectives moving to a point outside the map so they can't be completed without a checkpoint reload, vehicles and enemies literally appearing and then disappearing out of/into thin air.
It's average, but it's a time sink and given I have no desire to play COD if I need an MP shooter fix it seems like there isn't a whole lot of choice as far as recent releases are concerned.
I had a couple of issues last night whereby I'd completed a round and the game then tried to load the same map again only this time it would get stuck on the loading screen. Happened twice in the space of an hour. All on conquest. Interestingly enough I could interact with the squad section in the bottom right of the screen and see peeps joining and leaving but the map never loaded. Quitting out of the game resolved the issue until it happened again.
good to know it wasn't just me then. /me waits for patch.I have had the same issue a couple of times. Mostly this occurs when I join a friend and their game ends while I’m joining. But on occasion between maps too.
