I know as a Beta launch you guys monitor these servers. So why are all the hackers and cheats being allowed to go unchecked? I am a long time Battlefield player and have never seen cheating on the scale i have here. I have faith that this will be a problem soon taken care of or hopefully toned down a bit. As for the rest of the game, Ill be the first to spend a few bucks for some non cheater ridden game play. Doing a great job with the franchise boys and girls! keep it up!
Good game, brought me back to a time of PC gaming where life was simple and killstreakless. Most Fps are getting way out of hand and just not K.I.S.S and this is why I enjoyed playing Battlefield P4F with the time I spent with the game.

I strongly feel the perk route or bonus state whatever you like to call it route is a much better addition to FPS in terms of player interaction within the game aside from other mechanics found in other fps games that make it feel generic and lame.

All that is missing to this game is environment destruction. I got a taste of Bad Company 2 wall pwning and I crave more in every fps I play.

Fun level with Battlefield P4F 8.0.

Remake of Battlefield 2. One of the fps I view to be one of the best map designed games in the franchise with Bc2 weapons was a smart move of reinventing BF2.

On the down side there isn't too much except the game has some bugs but, that's to be expected and nothing new for me as a long term Battlefield veteran expect skill point, talent points whatever.

On a more personal grip that some Devs will even agree with.

If I am leveling my Engineer why isn't my Scout on the same account not getting the same xp points ? Stop drawing out the game to it's limit. It's not fun. It makes the game rather boring for the general public except for Joe the god gamer of the year that make my 16-18 hours a day of gaming look casual. Stop it, look to other avenues to make the game more fun then it already is. I hated the reset button on my old NES and I hate it in the PC world.

Other then that. I think this is a great game.
My first impressions?

- Download was extremely slow to install.. I'm on high speed, have a quad core processor, 4gb memory, and a brand new video card

- Game logged me in and I got to the options, but things seem laggy.. press button to select a key for up, down, strafe, etc, then wait 2 seconds before actually pressing key

- Tried to play game and it said joining or whatever, but never did. Sat there for maybe 2 minutes before I finally CTRL-ALT-DEL to end task and uninstalled everything.

I'm going back to Combat Arms. If they fix their laggy servers, it'd be the best. I'm a paying customer over there and love the game.
My First Impression:

1. Needs a server list and buddy list

2. Increase max frames per second. Why have a limit?

3. Weapon attachment, have some but not too many as some are expressing. Like BFBC2

4. The game has a slow feeling to it. Even when sprinting the movement feels slow.

5. The graphics are good

6. Just put BF2 on the BFBC2 engine and leave it a that and you'll be on a winner.
Hey,

I tried to play the game yesterday, but I just got the "Disconnected from server" or something like that after "Joining server".

I'm gonna try again tomorrow to see if this was some temporary error.

My first impressions was that the menus are really slow. It's a huge lag in the menus. Just changing the key setup was a challenge because of the lag.
for me i think it have a nice FPS with RPG mements its but since its still in beta i think the final version must have a desk top lunch icon its anoying to go to the web site every time to play other than that it all good.Smile
my first impression

First guys, I thinks that for a beta or alpha or whatever phases, you need to give some tips when you give us a Key... like what is the stage technicaly: know bugs, how close to final product it will be -resolution ?, and mostly Tricks (take me a while to figure out ALT+ENTER to back to windows. All this stuff must be close to the key in the first email so people read-it.

spec:
Asus N61j Laptop
-i7 intel 2.8ghz
-Radeon HD5730
-4GB Ram

Same laptop i use for BFBC2

rarely getting lag (and I'm playing on wireless no fire wall no virus-shittyscan... clean connection).

-no difference between Hight detail and low detail?

--resolution: i play on 1366x768 but it just strech the image, so everything is more large...

--the resolution and mouse probleme is a littlebit sad. I only use atl+enter now, it working better.

--some time i got a duplicate mouse: like the menu is using full screen at a reference for the mouse but the menu is not in full screen mode. I should have take a screenshot, but i think you alredy have seen this problem.


About gameplay : team work is sooo important. With the news battlefields, I feel like we are loosing those things.

==>Squad Leader?

==>soldier with one class? can we at least do an hybrid or change between

==>efficient fast auto communication button: In this game, the buttons with the arrow mouse.... god lord it akward hahaha, sorry for the one who made that, but the systeme from BF2 was perfect, why changing for a dialog box?

==>commander? damn where is the commander in the four lasts Battlefield ??? the power squad with 6 players? and clear order from SL or Com... all the nice team work aspect and emphasys is gone and it probably why i just started playing arcade crap like Call of duty... i'm sorry but i feel like all the tactical improvement made in BF2 and BF2142 have been forgot.
where is the game of the year parfume?

Weapon shop: i prefer an normal unlocking systeme, the shop systeme is a bit slow and personnaly i prefer not to stay in the menu cause it kinda slow and frustrating. never know if you really press or buy something.

I can't say a lot on where you are with the product since i don't know your actual goal, the gun look ok for accuracy?

Everytime I do an action it look like it too much information for the browser: befor climbing, aiming, running, even looking.



---Positive

-Found that interresting for a free game, i wan't to try plane!!
-love the XP poping
-The map remix are nice with more lader, more obstacle, the flag look well placed.
-Vehicle are stiff and i got less lag in a APC than running
-costumisation of the look

I must say I'm a big fan of DICE and i got every battlefield game and i cannot wait for BF3, I beleve in you, Your making really good work and one day I will work for you, hahahaah.
Absolutely negative impression.
A lot of video bugs(for example game loading), sounds bugs, menu bugs(like a point bug, fullscreen menu bug), ingame bugs (ex. car can easily move... TANK!).
Unbalanced classes and weapons.
Assault rifles like AES or M16 shoot almost with same accuracy like sniper guns (let's take SVD).
M16 with semi-automated mode is over powered because very bad spead.
Let's take assault guy and sniper.
Sniper don't have any previliges at all! Smoke (fog) don't give a distance advantage, damage extremly small. It's easyer to kill sniper with M16 by shooting 2-3 times, then to kill regular soldier with sniper rifle using 2-4 bullets.
Other cons:
Old video graphics.
Really bad sound.
No new video effects.
Awfull collision effects.
Jumping from roofs without damage.
Parachute should be opened from the higher places.
3 granades - is a granade spam.
Medic and ammo packs should have some limits.
And etc.

Pros:
Free game.

I am sure that when you will make some overpowered items for money, you will loose players immediatly.

I respect battlefield series, and hope this will have some future.
Where can I rendeem my codes?
LAAAAAG.

Loads of lag and heavy rubber banding. I have no such issues in BFBC2.
I need more airspace for Jets.
It's difficult to identify, let alone hit a target when flying so fast and turning constantly.
I experiance some lag, but overall a solid game for being in closed beta
1 reward more the teamwork (healing, repairing vehicle, flag taking / base attack/defence)
2 specialize more the classes, for ex: remove the tracer dart from the enginer / medic and just left the possibility to tag for recon / assault, give to the medic the possibility to heal directly the other ...
3 add a possibility to prone
4 add one server list would be nice
1. seems that ping is 1000. (russia)
2. too many lags while the game is starting.
3. doesn't work with Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta 10 =(
4. ...
Just noticed that all my earned Training-points got lost after i clicked the circle-arrows which i thought would get bak the last point that i wanted to place on another slot. Instead i got back one point and lost 4. I'm on lvl 5.
If it should be like this at least give us a warning Yes/No. I bet im not the only one.

You had to put BF3 spoilers didn't you ?
My first impression of this game is that its cool and has a lot of potential. Just playing around i have noticed a few things that IMO need to be looked at and addressed somehow.

1. Clipping issues with the terrain and vehicles. Saw a tank next to point B on the angled road clip its main cannon through the retaining wall and was able to fire with practically no part of the tank exposed but the main gun.

2. Grenade throws are poorly done. The player is a righty and should throw nades with his left hand, not drop the gun to kinda underhand the nade. BF2142 had a better nade throwing setup as you actually got the motion of the throw so you could help aim where it was going to go. Half the time the animation lags and the nade is at your feet. White tracer on nade is wrong, maybe on a smoke nade but not a grenade there is no smoke from them period.

3. Spawning is severely limited compared to 2142. Id like to be able to pick where i want to spawn cause right now it will spawn you somewhere, and the only other choice is to spawn way back at your base.

4. Spawn camping to get kills is becoming more of a problem. I got no problem with the enemy being close to your spawn point while they are trying to capture the flag, but i got rolled 3 times in a row by a crouched engineer with an MP7 that was hiding in the corner of the building. Finally i got a diff spawn and then came back and killed him. I would suggest that after you die right after spawn at least twice in a row that you either get a 7 sec spawn invincibility or the choice to spawn somewhere else. 7 sec is due to the fact that depending on the server lag it can take 3-4 seconds to be able to move which would then give you enough time to throw a nade or empty your weapon into the spawn raper. It really starts to effect the gameplay and balance when your team cannot reliably spawn in a base they took control of. Aside from that some people are getting insane amounts of kills this way.

5. Auto-balancing issues. While it is a good thing to keep things even it is annoying to be on the winning team only to die right near the end and be on the loosing team and being robbed of victory points. I would suggest that an announcement be sent to all players of the team with the more players and have a way for people to voluntary switch teams and give them some extra pts for doing so. Put this on a time limit and then after said time limit use the current auto-balance rules. If someone gets auto-balanced to the other team and they spent most of their time on the winning team then they should get victory pts and if the loosing team they get auto-balanced to ends up winning, then they should get a small bonus for helping turn the tide of the battle.

6. Issues with the 3 steps going into corner buildings. I find it odd that you cant just run over them but you have to go around them. Really they shouldnt even be there as they provide no cover unless you could go prone.

Aside from the aforementioned above issues this game is going in the right direction. Im having fun.
Love the community,very nice bunch imo. Except the hackers ofc.
I like how you try to balance the matches with the play now,and no weapon/class swapping ingame,but some options would be nice.
Please don't go overboard like BF:H...It's unplayable...uber guns,jetpacks...
Give Silvanoshi a medal...haha. xD
The jump-over-fences movement ingame is pretty bad,like when jumping over that edge near stairs in Karkand...it can be frustrating.
MG long range medics,long range recon snipers,close range assaults and engineers...assaults better than engineer at close range imo,and sniper vs medic depends on how bad the fog is...Needs more balance tbh(combat usas shotgun ftw)
I have a bad bug thats ruining my gameplay,and it was the first thing that made me go watch television when i played haha-> When i get disconnected the game freezes...making me have to hit ctrl+alt+del...then alt+tabbing,and hopefully i can restart the game,but then i get fullscreen(make a start in fullscreen,and a play in full screen option,thanks)and i cant see mouse,so i have to go with my last decisions i had and tab til i get play now.
make searching options...like "search for no vehicle maps,or jet maps,or big maps,small ones" system would be nice Smile
Thanks for making the game playable on a computer thats dieing,with a 128 graph card,2.2 GHz proc,1gig ram...and free...i thank you from the bottom of my heart for that Smile(i prolly dont even have 1 gig ram)
The game is good,but the Menu is not so good.
I can see not the mouse, in the menu.

That is very bad.

With high dissolution, one has black screens.
And the servers are too slow.
The tickets are too few.

Take care
Olafstools
liked whery mutch but now i get the same crash that i did in BFBC2 and vietnam suddently my pc frozen and i hav to force shutdown my pc.
