Battlefield Play4Free

sorry i got to sey this but game isnt what i expectet i more perfer bettefire
d heroes

It's ok I cant complain if its free, its just buying the weapons that bother me, only for 24 hours to 3 days on rental? I may not be considering paying to get some of the weapons permanently

WTF!!! ea please dont ban me for saying this but please think what you are going to do youre gonna make bfh all over again and you havent changed gunclub for 7 months and your making fifa over and over agin and its always the same just 1 or 2 diferences and pandemic studios was a good companie (bad speller) but now its nothing no games will ever come from them againcause of you ea and once again you dont think there are peaple trying to play bfh but cant anymore and if someone calls you on the help line thing please help them and not ignore them

My first impressions? Hmm well, "Wow, this feels more like an Alpha then a Beta test." Of course this was weeks ago before Oman map was added.

I came into this expecting BF:Heroes like game play, it's not exactly but it has the same 'flavor' if you will. For me both this(BF:P4F) and BF:H is perfect, I'm a casual game player these days so they fit my life style just fine. I don't need uber realistic FPS's anymore to get my fix.

So to the Devs I say Kudos, your spot on and on track with your goals IMHO.

And remember kids... It's just a game... or "Why so serious?"

I like the game, but in future I hope that EA will develop more features in it.

It's good, when you don't have any lag that is. I've been searching for the past hour looking for a server with a decent connection and I haven't found any. We need server browsers! Also, the game needs to stop putting me back into the same server that I just got kicked for having too high of a ping.

After playing the Battlefield series for some time, I nearly had a little wee wee when I heard of this.
My very first impression was 'Wow, it's Battlefield 2'
Which is good. I have played BF2 casually for a few years now which means I know the maps already. My old Sniping spots are still there.
It looks like the graphics are more improved, although the 'fog of war' could do with having more range on it. It's just too close imho.
I also like the way my credits from BFH have rolled over to this game. Makes upgrading the toys easier.
I have loads of good things to say about his game, but as you are after feedback, its the niggles you need to know. If I don't mention a particular aspect, then generally its ok.
The niggles.
I'm a sniper, so why can't I lie down? The gun wave when looking through the scope is A little too much in my opinion. Maybe introduce the ability to lie down to tighten up the scope wobble a bit?
Random DC's. Personally, I think this is a Punkbuster issue. Because I get them with BF2 and BFH. And only since upgrading to Windows7.
Maps. Are there only 3 maps at the moment? I seem to get the same three maps over and over again. Will you be introducing more maps from the Battlefield games?
How about a novelty map, where we can use the soldiers from this game, on BFH maps? Would be a giggle.
Keep up the good work. Love the game.

First Impressions:

~ the game is solid at the beta stage. Sure, there are a few issues that need to be worked out, but so far, so good.

~ The weapons are a bit too accurate. Especially pistols.

~ I am enjoying myself immensely, as is my wife.

~ The quick round succession really keeps the action flowing, imo.

~ Medics with HMG... well, I'm not so sure about that one.

~ I would like to see the 64 player maps instead.

All in all, I am fairly impressed with the Beta stage of the game. I look forward to incoming improvements and fixes. I'll just keep reporting them as I find them.

whoops, double post, my bad.

Just decked out my soldier with new vet weapons and a heap of gear/apparel. Purchased them all permanently too.

Call me a sucker but that's how impressed I was with the game.

Only 3 things i'd like to see in future updates.

Guns, guns and more guns for every class.

Also work is needed on the server finder. It seems to reference via player rank and not player ping. imo this should be the other way around. Gets quite frustrating being kicked out of 4 consecutive matches due to your ping being to high.

Finally, the mg3 is waaaay to accurate/over powering. It completely unbalances the gameplay. HVY machine guns should always do most damage and have a very fast rate of fire but that should be counted by terrible aim unless proned on the ground. It balances gameplay and forces players to be more tactical with such a powerful gun rather then just spraying from several meters away and making headshots....

Other then that the game is great! It already is a hit with a booming playerbase. A very smart move releasing this now. It has risen the hype for BF3 beyond imaginable.

play4free pay2win is what this game is all about. if i find out that this is the concept of this game its obviously false advertising on youtube and all over the internet. if its free why the hell does it have content that has to be purchased. the way i see it is you can purchase the weapons if you want BUT you should also be able to earn them in game. if not im srry but EA are a greedy organization who dont care about quality!

I didn't realise that there was a thread here already for impressions. I really enjoy the game, however I have a few complaints in order of Most important -> Least important:

1.) No votekick system to get rid of the hackers or spawncampers.

2.) Can only create 2/4 classes without paying for 2 character slots.

3.) Jumping over obstacles in this game is really buggy. Example: The fountain cement wall.

4.) The annoying chat filter. It filters everything good and bad. You should scrap it because all I can see is this load of *****************************. See? That's what the chatlog looks like In-game.

5.) The wooden fence isn't high enough on the Karkand map, so people can spawnrape A Objective spawners with a vehicle.


Anyways, just some really big annoyances. You could have a 10/10 game if you'd fix these problems.

This game is such a disappointment. You dumbed BF2 down and added a store, its all the more bad company now, which isnt really the true battlefield at all.

If you want to play BFplay4free, go play BF2. Its cheap now and still hundreds of full servers to go by (dont forget the excellent mods). BF2 is way more balanced out in everything. BFplay4free just is not worth the time and effort whereas BF2 is just around the corner giving you a much broader and more satisfying gaming experience.

The disadvantages of BFHeroes (the store, dividing community between the money- and the free players) implemented in a dumbed down BF2, whilst not taking the really GOOD things of BF2 in this game. That about summarises this game.

I give this game a 3/10, horrible game.

it sucks to say the least i mean u die far to quick probably the quickest i have ever seen on a game and people who dont pay for weapons get ****ed up by people who do i mean cmon there is no fairness to that!!

Everything is fun. And coming from a fanboy of call of duty series who just stepped into the Battlefield multiplayer world - Thats alot for me.

There is just one problem... Too little Asia server. The country i am playing from, Malaysia are simply too far from any actual server. It pains me to get kicked every 10 second for at least an hour or two until i can actually find a laggy game that wouldnt kick me.

Lets hope dedicated server comes out soon.

1.st impression? Laggy. when i join a game for the first time one day everything is fine. then the round ends and we change maps( or just stay at the current map). then when i press ready, it happens...

at first i can play for 10 sec. whitout any lag or just a little bit. then, when those 10 seconds has passed i get a lagspike at ca. 10-15 seconds. then i get 5 sec. with no lag, and etc. etc.

so i really think that you should fix the lag before giving new guns, maps and such. because i cant even try those guns and maps :|

The biggest flaw for me is the medics, they sort of devalue the assault class, because they are more or less an assault class themselves with that ridiculous gun they so effortlessly lug around.

I do like how you can't go prone. It makes those pesky snipers have to think about their positioning, as opposed to just laying down on top of any old building.

I like the upgrade idea, how you have to train to fly a jet, train to fly a chopper, adds a bit of variation. I hope you can't level to get all of the attributes, so you have to pick your path of training relatively carefully.

Few extra maps would be nice also, though I'm sure they're in the making, but putting it out there for good measure :]

Cheers.

There are alot of things I think the dev's are doing extremely well and I could spend all day stroking them on what I think they're doing right, but I think it'll be more productive to mention the things I think would help make the game better over all. Some of these things ofc have probably been mentioned however I dont feel like taking the time to read thousands of posts and taking out the suggestions that have been beat to death.

- Squads! - Please give us a squad system! Now that were in open beta I've had a chance to play with my clan mates and staying together is extrememly difficult. With everyone on your team having a blue icon over their head its hard single out those your trying to team with, but if there were squads, your squadmates icons/names would be green so you'd know where to go. It seems by the time you get re-grouped after spawning and run back to eachother, another will die and get spawned somewhere else and we're constantly having to describe our location instead of the enemy's location and whats going on. Ever since BF2, squads have been one of the biggest things that make Battlefield what it is in my opinion.

- Communication!! Please do some work on the communication system. Some things I've noticed that are an inconvenience to say the least are: When a player asks for a medic/ammo/repairs/etc it does not show up in the chat area, nor does that player's icon blink in the mini-map nor does it display an icon over the players head on the 3D map. I notice that when I request something through the com system it shows my request in the chat area, however I never see anyone elses when I hear them yell out throught the com-rose, nor do I recieve the type of support I'm asking for which means to me that they arent seeing my requests either. Without notification on the minimap or the 3D map of a teamates request for whatever type of help they need and where its coming from, everyone is completely oblivious of where they are needed and are missing out on opportunities for more points. Also the ability to send a pm through the friend system would be conventient.

- Spawn Times!!! Please consider increasing the amount of time a soldier is critically wounded. I've played bf2142 for years now and being able to get to your teamates to revive them is essential and can turn the tide of a round. I'm not suggesting making it as long as the spawn times in BF2 or 2142 as I like the fast paced nature of this release and have played leagues where the spawn time is decreased in matches. I just feel that the amount of time given currently makes it almost impossible to get a rez unless theres a medic right on top of you when you get shot down, which 90%+ of the time is not the case. Even a couple more seconds would be great. Anywhere from 7 to 10 seconds is alot better than what we're working with and I dont think it'd change the games pace negatively, especially if we have more opportunity to keep eachother alive and in battle. Also to all medics - please, please, please revive as often as possible, its your role and one of the most important on the battlefield.

- Gifting of Battlefunds!!!! One thing I was thinking would be great is if we had the ability to gift Battlefunds to our friends. Not everyone has the ability to pay for items and will always use the coins earned in game to get the equipment they need/want, however if there was an easy way through the site to send someone some battlefunds as a friendly gesture it would be cool.

- Apparel!!!!! Another thing I've noticed that does not make me particualarly happy is that the apparel I bought for my character isnt seen on my guy in the server. Yes I can see my outfit in pre-game when gearing up and in the top left of my screen when in a server, however I was playing with my clan mates yesterday after getting all this gear to make my guy look cool and asked one of them what they think of my sexy backpack and mask & helmet I just bought and he brought it to my attention that I appeared just as all the other players in the server. Same thing reported when I'm viewed in the kill-cam after taking someone out. If my outfit doenst show up on me in the server and I'm the only one that can see it and only in pre-game or in the corner of my screen's hud I wasted my battlefunds if you as me.

- Clan Tags!!!!!! Please give us a way to rep our clans in game.

- Brand Spanking New Maps!!!!!!! All the maps in the BF series are great and its good to have familiar territory when learning a new game, but please dont reuse a ton of maps and not give us something new. Mapping is one of my favorite past times when not shooting at people with my pc and I'm sure making maps for P4F with the BF2 editor will be pretty darn close to the same as using it to build 2142 maps and Heroes maps. I'd be more than happy to hop to it and make one for you guys if you like. If not thats ok, but please impress us with something new to play on.

Keep up the good work guys you rock!

Over all a good game. Game play is great as with original BF2. Not too concerned that most weapons can kill at distance as all have the same advantage.
Pros:-
Better than BF Heroes
You have to earn upgrades
You can try (credits) before you buy (battlefunds)
Not bombarded with air strikes all the time

Cons:-
Armour has little effect on infantry unless direct hit
Walls are often difficult to jump over from close range
Not being able to have same soldier name for all classes from same account
Bookmark does not seem to work

Thats my first impressions, would like to see server list and voting added
