So far, it fixes some of the issues of crashes and mouse control.

Do we need Gamespy in order to play this?
Or is Steam enough?
Can I join buddies via steam?

You dont need even steam. At this moment you cannot join friends trough steam. But there is inetrnal friends finder, that is not working at the moment. I guess they'll fix it.


So long i love the game. Its much more difficult then MW2. I had no problems to play with group of 8 friends for hours compared to MW2. The one thing i didnt like is missing of prone. About VOIP , i hear some people talking but i cant figre it out how they do it.

The game is tipical BF game.

If they trying to show off video they couldn't have picked a worse map.

Sound engine is awesome. Watching someone knock down a tree was very cool, but then lag struck and it yo-yoed up and down a few times, sort of lost the wow factor.

Hate the new UI. Watched someone land a helo right beside a building and the blades of the helo were running though the blades.

So far, for me, more to dislike than to like.

Hope it improves a lot.

The default VOIP key is LAlt

LOL Thanks.

No Prone = No Dolphin Diving

I can live without the dolphins that ruined BF2 for me.

[bobytt]

LOL i forgot about the dolphin trick

It still ruins the Sniper class...whats the point in having a gillie suit if you cant prone???? I wonder if it is an unlockable option for Snipers

[Jenan]

Tracer dart = complete awesome.

Game is still getting opinions as if it were the sequel to BF2. Would love to see some conquest mode added... although the gameplay is very fast paced for rush mode, it would be nice to see how it handles in that game type.

OK thx...I was unaware that BC2 did not have it either

See Jenan, that's the problem. Those of us who have been playing Battlefield since the 1942 game WANT and expect it to be closer to BF2 than to the consolized Bad Company. It's just not a "Battlefield" game without certain aspects to it, many of which are currently not in the beta.

I would expect tracer darts to be far more useful when people pick up heat-seeking missiles. The RPG just won't do the job.

By the by, if you want to kill a tank, go Recon and get the Mortar. That thing is both insanely accurate, and insanely deadly. It's the one thing that takes out a tank rather quickly, which is really bogus because mortars aren't quite so accurate in real life, and it takes a luck shot to kill a real tank. Disable? maybe. Kill? Need luck. Right now the mortar is overpowered.

I just played a round and i discovered a couple of things I liked. I like the point system that encourages spotting resupplying. I also Like that when you select a teammate to spawn on you can see what is going on around him before you hop in.

[Rand{CLR}]

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but health and supply packs keep working after you've dropped them even if you switch classes.
