A selection of changes from BETA to FINAL part 1

-----

The amounts of people flocking to our Open Beta is fantastic! We are happy to see so many players enjoy this Open Beta, and giving us their valuable feedback on the experience on the Battlelog forums.

This blog post is the first in a series of posts that will outline some of the changes we are making in the final game thanks to your feedback and participation in the Open Beta.

This could be an indication of VOIP.

I thought the same thing Duke, but it could just mean the player is on the battlecom thingy.

I am hopeful for other changes I would have thought would be alot more basic.

Like ability to bind keys, select squads, etc.

I have also noticed that while running 3x1 screens, I am missing alot of hud elements many people have. Like a map.

No, you have the map. It's on the fourth screen.

Those don't look like a list of changes, but fixes. Changes would be remembering that your flashlight was when died. Or you selected single shot. Letting you quit without waiting for a.new round. Let you make option changes without having join a game.

To continue Paceman's list: Allowing you to chose a server from within the game, not the stupid website would be a great addition.

Ask yourself this. Do you want them spending time on the beta build or on the final build???

* Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after round transition.
* Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after trying to deploy while the countdown timer still active.

Finally! These two made the game near-unplayable for me. Was having to shoot blind or keep the iron sights up at all times.

Actually the website isn't bad as you can see friends easily. ALT/TAB yourself to the battlelog and don't leave your game. You can then connect with the next game without having to fully leave the game.

...but it still needs a few "user-friendly" tweaks. I also find that trying to join a server as a party never quite works right.

don't join as a party. Have one join and the rest follow. This is where people need to do the leg work and accept everyone in to the friends list. Also take the 5 minutes looking through the Platoon area and adding each and everyone. I do miss people.. and keep looking.

I don't think Rand has accepted me

PS... everyone is leaving the orgin program running in the background. Shows alot of people online that are really nowhere to be found.

Tweaking and fixing bugs in a webpage is probably much easier than making those changes in the game itself...

YES PLEASE!
