I eventually got in by sitting for 10 minutes clicking on each server and trying to join.Relaxed Muscle said:

This. Probably won't play it much in Conquest if the 8 other maps actually deliver. But looks better than Rush version at least.

I'm sure it's been talked about already but how the hell did DICE think that flashlight shit was a good idea? If the enemy is even looking at you your entire screen is blinded. How in the world can you play like that? Shit is annoying.

So it's a Conquest map carved out of a Rush map, like Bad Company. Was hoping DICE had realized that's a terrible idea by now. This is especially bad with Metro considering it's essentially a long narrow tube. Only difference between Rush and Conquest will be that...actually, I don't know. Just seems like it'll be the same experience pretty much.Kyaw said:
Disappointing.
Also I'm gonna go ahead and assume that there won't be a 64 player version of this map.

I saw a loading screen or something for BF3 that said if you own more than half of the cap points the opposing team bleeds.

They do need to tone it down, at least outdoors. But I don't see anything wrong with the concept. It's...supposed to be annoying.

Every map has a 64 player version, and the one in the vid better not be it.

Is there gonna be text commands in the final game like calling for medic/ammo or whatever? I'm used to TF2 which has lots of options and voice/text related stuff.
No but you literally can't see anything. If there's an enemy near you with a flashlight you're basically fucked you have to spray and pray if he's looking at you.Mr. Snrub said:

How do you create another pc soldier in battlelog?

Yes, it still works. The best method I've found for getting in a fresh Caspian game:
(Optional) find a server that says it's changing maps, this way you'll get in at the beginning of the game and people are almost always disconnected at the end of the game.
Click the server you want to join
Hit the enter key on your keyboard to attempt to join, this will bring up the password prompt.
Click the password bypass javascript bookmarklet
Hit enter again
Repeat.
You can get about 2-3 attempts per second in this way.

I don't mind the enemies blinding you, but your own team shouldn't be able to. They constantly turn around in Metro and dazzle me. Worse than friendly fire!Angry Fork said:

That's why I assumed there won't be, because that would be so very shit. And if there is an expanded area, why wouldn't they use it for 24/32 Conquest?vidal said:

I know. That's the point. I've never been blinded by an enemy with a flashlight that wasn't aiming at me. Maybe you're experiencing a bug?

Yeah, after playing PC and PS3, I had far less clipping on the console than PC for some reason. But, visual quality, lighting/effects, framerate, of course are vastly superior on the PC. Good thing they're fixing that clipping stuff, not sure why they let this version out in the first place, it's horrible. I was twitching like mad from the clipping with those flashes going on, first time I think ever I felt sick from playing a game.
Very much not impressed with the net code on either thus far, and there's something that's just "OFF" with hit detection in this game. Hopefully retail is a vastly more polished product all around.

DICE just can't seem to figure that one out.alr1ghtstart said:
On PC you can always press ALT+F4 though. Guess we can thank Ghettolog for that.
Made a US PS3 platoon. I know the emblem sucks but I couldn't figure out how to change the color of just half of the circle.

This is just stupid they are validating a password in javascript javascript. Its just a plain javascript function that does a ajax call to check if the password is correct. but because the entire check is done in this function you just overflow it with another function
to the other guy yea it still works. If they want to fix this they need to rewrite there entire validation and move it to the backend.

How on earth did they manage to make the beta ridiculously buggy when the alpha was hardly buggy at all?
Falling out of the map, weird ragdolls, a dead guy talking and shoot being a particular highlight.

Any network gurus have any advice for me? There are two of us who want to play together on the same network but when one of us is in a game and the other joins the first one gets a server timeout. We have UPnP enabled, both wired, etc... This is on the PC as well.
Don't know if it has anything to do with this but when we play games on the 360 the first one to play gets an OPEN NAT and the second one to play gets a MODERATE NAT. We're kind of assuming our PC problems may be related to NAT since we have these NAT problems on the 360 as well.
