Anyone had any issues with the UAV? It seems to crash my XBOX when it gets shot down :/

Are you pressing B to exit the control station? IIRC, you just stand there looking like a dork otherwise!

Bit of a bummer that PS3 owners don't get the demo - I'm happily downloading the PC beta though.

We had the beta a while back and I think we get the demo as well next week, or possibly the week after.

While it's spinning out my XBOX crashes. I've got no chance to exit the station

Been enjoying this, played it for 3 hours straight. I think I'll get this on release.

Not many people use squads which is a shame - and people just queue up to wait for the helicopter or UAV to spawn..

does this have silly killstreaks and better weapons for the people who play it far too much then ?

demo is taking ages to download

No killstreaks and I dont think the later weapons could be classed as better. People only take a few rounds on each gun and drop fast.

Do the weapons have upgrades that are unlocked? Like red dot sight etc?

Yeah....Although from what I've seen I prefer the iron sights in the this game to the RDS

I already have an EA account so is it just a case of I "might" get one mailed to me?

Thanks

It's a public demo.

xander_uk2 · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:25

No key needed?

I fail at reading

antijoke · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:29

Nope all you need at the moment is a 360 (gold account as well I believe).

Buckster · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:20

I'm not so keen at the moment

I like both the likes of MW2 (360) and Arma 2 (PC)

but this feels lethargic, and slow ? what frames a second is it running ?

I'm consdering buying it on PC instead

ic1male · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:21

Doesn't feel slow to me - only time it has done is when there's been a laggy connection but it will be 30fps rather than the 60fps of MW.

What is up with the health in this game? Am I correct in thinking everyone has slow health regen which can be boosted by the Medic's medikit? And why is there no health bar when you can see other people's?

ic1male · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:30

Yes, everyone's health regenerates now. Crap if you ask me as it takes away some need for the medic, which is probably why they introduced the defib revival. The medic has three different levels of medkit I think (via upgrades) each of which makes your health regen faster.

Yeah slow health gain.

It doesn't feel like anything happens when you step on a med pack IMO. I know they work its just it needs a sound or visual indicator.

on hardcore you'll actually need the medic or you wont even be able to see properly if youre in a near death state with no medic around

hardcore = no health regen

I honestly don't know why they removed the numerical indicator for health.
