Top 10 Things You Hope Release Fixes

[Schultzy]

1) Give us full control over squads - and I don't just mean in BattleCom

2) Balance of weapons. Why is it that the UMP can out-range a M416 time and time again?

3) Excessive damage while running - I feel like I am playing HC when I know this is normal. The guy laying down over there takes 10-15 bullets, while the guy running takes 2.

4) Eyefinity support. I know, I know. Not many are running multiple screens. But I am absolutely useless when someone tries to give me directions - I have no map!

5) Texture flicker. This is the only game that does it. I get sky texture flicker in Metro, and ground texture flicker in Caspian.

6) That damn flashlight. Apparently DICE has never been outside in day light. I'm sorry, but flashlight in noonday light does not blind someone. That crap seriously blinds all three of my screens when someone flashes it at me.

7) Map collision. I see way too many things going halfway/through solids in the maps.

Random server crashing - though I think this is partially why BETA was "released"

9) If an objective is planted and blows while the counter is counting - allow the round to continue

10) Bindable Keys. I hate the default binds, and would really like some things I have played for years with to be bound on my mouse - like my jump key.



I think that about sums up my biggest griefs. I think the three biggest are the flash lights, squad control, and eyefinity. The rest I could probably live with.

Anyone else got some different top 10's?

1 - stop sliding on uneven ground - Prone on uneven ground and I continually slide downhill.

2 - That flashlight thing.

3 - random flashes when looking around.

4 - More splash damage for RPG and grenades. Both have to practically be direct hits to kill someone.

5 - being shot though objects. I don't know how many times I've been killed lying behind rocks and concrete walls. And I've also killed many the same way.

6 - having to jump for barely uneven ground.

7 - Limit the number of snipers.

8 - adjust settings without joining a server.

9 - the bind key thing

10 - Let me quit at round end. Having to wait until the new map and spawning before I can quit is silly.

You guys pretty much hit everything on the head

1. Squad control
2. Flashlight doesn't bother me, just something to aim at.. lol
3. Pretty much no instructions on how to fly, arrows seem to be better control i heard.
4. Splash damage on tank rounds seem to be minimal
5. Default is the AP round on tank, option for sabot seems to be lacking.
6. Ground to air missiles never seem to hit, played an entire round slinging missiles from stationary gun at enemy planes/choppers, and no hits
7. UMP seems to be overpowered
8. Punkbuster is already behind the curve if turned on even
9. Engineer missiles vastly underpowered. Might as well be throwing rocks
10. If CLR's could be in same squads, we'd RULE

[{CLR} Cobalt]

Weapons glitches, the AN-94 seems to have problems with the shooting sound. At least with me it did.
Overpowered weapons.
Underpowered weapons.
Graphics glitches. too many to count here.
Squad join.
Flashlight outside is stupid.
Lot of the stuff others named.

Overall, I know it's still the beta but I dont remember BC2 being this glitchy early on. Maybe I dont remember right.

The second rocket launchers the engineers get is a SAM - only will fire at an aircraft.

The hard part about them, is the aircraft gets flares by default. Best thing to do is have one guy shoot, wait for the flares, and have a second shoot. Just need to hope the target stays in range.

Most people are complaining that the rockets are overpowered
Punkbuster is not actually running anything yet.<even though it says its on>
Arrows are 100% better and even a fool like me can fly. Hitting things with a gun instead of your plane is something else.

The games I played in there are fewer people waiting for a jet, mainly because you can try to spawn in one. Also people are dying alot less in conquest.

Anyone try running a jeep with C4 on it into a tank.. wondering if it works like it did in BF2.

I want the mortars to be allowed to take out the stupid people on the tower... thats a long climb and easy to take someone out on from the top.

I ran over someone and didn't get the kill

Things not mentioned already for me are:

1. Putting out the bipod while prone is a little glitchy. To the point where your lying down on a rock, but can't use it because you can't see.
2. I've had several friends who can't use the Battlelog properly. They either can't see the Party or can't join one correctly. This makes it impossible to join as a party.
3. Caspian is laggier than Metro for me right now, by a good 10 FPS.
4. Settings need to be able to be changed while not deployed, but I'm sure this will be in game come launch.

I've been pleased with the Beta so far as I understand it is a Beta. I'm hoping their goals for Beta were mostly stress testing and computer hardware compatibility because all of the top 10 things are glaring issues that they I'm sure they've known about since Alpha. Meaning they've got most of this fixed already and really just wanted a semi-working release for stress testing and to make sure the game works on lots of machines.

1.- game crash when joining a match
2.- crash to desktop when joining a match
3.- game crashing as soon as I join the match
4.- joining a match, play 2 minutes then crash to desktop
5.- game crash to desktop as soon as I join the match

One of the things I would love to see, after 10 years of battlefield goodness, is people that understand objectives.

Heh... That technically isn't a bug/game change though, is it?

[FieryDragon]

1. Needs more girls in bikinis running around like in the movies. lol

10 - let me quit at round end. Having to wait until the new map and spawning before i can quit is silly.

My main is not being able to join any squad I choose. The others are just minor.
