Battlefield Play4Free

the game is very fun but it slighly sluggish while running, I Also lag at spawn for a couple of secounds, Despite that it is still fun.

Now that it's working smoothly for me, really enjoying the game. I own every Battlefield title and spend hundreds of hours on BF2. The combination of the BF2 map, BC2 kit configurations, and adding in the BF2142 skill abilities goes together very nicely. I'm pleasantly surprised how smoothly it runs ingame, though I've had some disconnects etc. Those I expect will be ironed out through the feedback we give here. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more maps!

Dislikes
-Come on guys, remove the Red Triangles above heads (I see you raised them higher...), you can still see where guys are without this... Keep it the same as BF2, just their name.
-No squads

I keep asking myself, why I'm playing this vs. BF2. It's the same game basically, but it has been cut down and a lot of the good things removed... I honestly would rather play BF2, but I appreciate the new game.

I don't really see a reason for this game when you still have BF2 out there... Unless you guys plan on turning off ranked BF2 servers, I see no point in having this game around... I'm not saying I hate it, just hard to play this when I can jump into BF2 just as fast...

Maybe in making a casual game like this, you are trying to get the players who found BF2 more involved, and drastically simplifying it to compete with the recent FPS shooters out there...

I honestly don't know what to think, I'm a hardcore BF2 guy, so I guess I've already been spoiled.

Why eat a quick sandwich when I can spend some more time making myself a nice steak to eat?

Dear BFP4F,

- I would like to thank you for creating another free game! And many thanks the game is not like BFH where you have to shoot 30s (no 1m!) to get one kill. I applied for a beta-key and after a few days, maybe one week, I got my beta-key.

My first impression about the game, and I mean the first minute I played, was: "Hmm, ... ok. I'm happy it's still in beta because I see here a bug. Ow and here. ha! Another one. Ohh, this is a poor feature must be fixed...." e.g. But after a few houres I respected the game more. The next day more and more and now I'm playing it frequently.

Now, since 22th december, a new update has been released. And about this: "Wauw! Thanks!" "Wauw" because the items looks nice and not poor. It made my soldier now more like a real soldier and not a silly pistol-man with a "plastic" gun. And "Thanks" because I have had not to pay for these awesome items, finally! I really disliked BFH because at the beginning the game was cool and you was able to buy (free) clothes but later there appeared way more better clothes but you have had to pay for that, and this toke me out of the BFH world. It's a nice feature of BFP4F that you can earn (for free!!) credits and that you are able to buy (for free again!!) clothes.

- The game is going to be better each day. Since the update of 22th with the clothes, it mades the game better and more personally for a player. I hope there are coming many more of these good updates and features and that many bugs will be fixed.

Kind regards,
Steven

P.S. By the way, when zoomin-in your view is getting unsharp. I think this is to give a "realistic feeling." But it's too exaggerated now. You may keep the view unsharp but make it please abit less unsharp.

Probably said a thousand times already, but I was very impressed! I started with the medic, so my one request is to know who and where people are calling out for help. But other than that I love it!

Love the game!

Only thing i hate is Weapon damage mechanics, And tank whores (kills all the fun and its just noobish tactics, it reminds me of Commando Perk in CODMW2)

This game is a lagfest. The Weapon Shop sucks. You can't make a purchase or it will frezze. Then the game thinks it still running, and will not let you start the game again unless you reboot your F**KIN computer...

I've been enjoying the game it is one of the best free to play games out there in my opinion. The only problems I have had so far are minor such as unresponsive interface from time to time and some fullscreen mouse problems. The gameplay is balanced and fun with the only problems being a few minor technical ones.

Download errors, bad. A windows installer for full install as alternative is strongly suggested. Strongly.

Game menu has a lot of bugs but the layout looks ok.

Tactical Reflexes shouldn't be an ability that requires trainig... HUD should have it by default.

New Karkand looks good.

No prone, bad.

Kill cam, bad. Personally, I prefer teammate-only spectator mode.

People I kill see me in kill cam and respawn very close to me, bad.

The MG seems like just a rifle with a larger ammo clip. Doesn't seem to require to be stationary to fire it, and doesn't seem powerful enough to justify requiring people to be stationary to fire it.

What the hell is the Russian army doing in Karkand? Lets bomb Moscow for this!

SPAWNcamping, definitely not good. (Idea: spawn invisible until you walk or shoot)

Too many dangerously open spaces where I'm easy prey to snipers, I'd like smoke grenades.

What the hell is the US army doing in Karkand? Lets bomb Hollywood for this!

unless the shotguns are secondaries theire effin useless

Well so far i think it's looking good. Here's a snippit of my experience:

1.) Am getting the occasional trouble with lost connections or getting into a server. But never too long before i get into a game.

2.) Only one map at the moment which kinda gets boring after a while but knowing that new ones will be on way gives me something to look forward to.

3.) I think the weapon classes need nerfing. SMGs should not have the range that they have after all it is a CQB weapon.

4.) Not had many problems with lag in game, maybe i'm lucky but nothing too drastic at the moment.

5.) Agree with alot of the comments already posted here.

6.) I don't try and compare this to BFBC2 which i have played as that is a game you pay for and this is for free should you not want to spend any of your own money.

7.) Acogs please.

8.) Great potential, let's hope it gets looked after with Customer Support and Development as this is where alot of free games fall down.

I was liking it at first, but seeing every recon on either team at the bottom of the point and kill list round after round after round got old real fast. Recons either need a boost or the other classes need a nerf; if every other weapon is just as accurate as the sniper rifle, then they're just scopeless, faster-firing sniper rifles that don't leave a smoke trail which have a more varied effective range. And that's just wrong. If it stays like this recon is going to be the most useless class on the field. I don't care how much teamwork it's supposed to incite; no one is going to spend the entire game playing an underpowered die-a-lot class just to help their teammates.

Overall nice,
here are my suggestions for improvement
1.) the medics arent healing at all, maybe its just that they're selfish or maybe its a balance thing.
2.) please get a new map and loads of weapons....
3.) Please add a uzi or something like that as the recons secondary weapon.
4.) The MG's are to accurate and the rifles asswell.
5.) add prone because its hard to hide as recon.
6.) add a ghillie suit.
7.) add xp reward for tracing a vehicle.
8.) ropes for recons could be nice to climb on buildings and terraces.
9.) snipers under powered.
10.) bigger range on motion detector.
11.) please remove fog of war because i can't see the point of not seeing more than 100 metres.
12.) make bigger maps like in 1942 where you can actually feel the scale of the battle.
13.) too much xp for destroying a tank or apc, i get about 1000 xp for destroying an apc with 2-3 players
besides that it's pretty nice
Really loving it so far

I'm aware that's this a beta , but as many out here allot disconnects .

also i mis lot being a recon , for instance where is my rope to climb on buildings , the possibility to go from building to building with overhead cable-way no zoom with scoop and the option to lie down for better shooting this was all possible in bf2 , they should make this possible , thats why the bf series where unique in this.

I like it, reminds me of BFBC2 on my xbox so it is nice to be able to do it on a PC, but is really glitchy and laggy, im sure it will get better though

My first impressions: this game is a BFH reskin. It runs on the same engine, same bugs, same game. You guys should probably change the engine/ the whole game before release.

The game looks good, by the way its still Beta, have some bugs, and that's the reason of Closed Beta, search and destroy bugs, we are not here to have fun still, but to help the game grow up.
When we get new maps, and all, we will really have fun.
Also, please.
Don't make this game like BF:H, with all that overpowered guns, heals, and all that crap.
It's the main reason that all noobs hack it. Because it's impossible to have fun when some guy kill you in seconds.

I hope you guys make live up to the name of game and make it really play4free and play4fun, not pay4fun.

regards...

what's with the medics? Their healing powers are so limited and i see no shock paddles I flipping LOVE SHOCK PADDLES! No reason to play medic without that or a squad to heal. no squad?

I love BF2 but I prefer a map with some vehicles like the tv station that was my all time fave.

Would love to see some special forces additions like able to buy gas grenades or grappling hooks or something that would be so worth $5.

I have a massively powerful PC with graphics set to maximum yet the draw distance still sucks.

complaints aside I LOVE IT! these are all minor complaints that don't ruin it.

B4 i start excuse my Internet slang.


My first impression was(this was b4 i got my Beta key) "Great another BFH, gunna be loaded with hackers going to be a fail Anime war game" I was 100% WRONG!
This game pwns! Although there are a few things i should point out that i hate.

1) Weapons are wayyyy to overpowered
2) Tanks shouldnt have as much HP as they do, its very hard to kill em unless your in a tank
3) Too hard to get headshots, i hit a person 5 times in the head with my M16A2 yesterday(National BFhP4F shopping day) and every time i hit him in the face i didnt get a headshot

now the things i love about it

1) Addictive (all games should be)
2) doesnt make me want to throw my Desktop at my wall
3) loads of fun other than Non-Team players(those ppl r nubs)
4) no ones really a total newb about getting pwnd

My first impresion is good for a beta but you should make another map because the current map is borring and the connection lost problem MUST be fix.
Good job Ea.Another success!
