Why the fuck do I hover across the ground when in prone? Annoying as tits

significant change = make park narrowerMr. Snrub said:
what would REALLY be awesome is if 64 players had the map changed so you could trave above ground over the subway area and they had flags above ground AND in the subway.
that's way too fucking awesome for DICE to do though.
This game has a lot of glitches right now.
But in terms of big problems, there are only a few.
The most fucking ANNOYING one is how close teammates spawn to you if you're squad. They spawn on you so close that let's say you're prone and you're sniping/scoping, they just shove you so far (the clipping pushing your character away from the people spawning on you) that you lose aim instantly. In several instances it even resulted in my death, as it exposed my position and I fell off a little rock cliff making me easy fire. They need to have your squadmates spawn in a slightly further radius from you.
But other than that and the around corner bullshit, it's so refreshing to play after the shallow and unbalanced Gears of War 3. The core game is quite obviously going to be ace, maybe after a few patches.
Definitely excited about my purchase now

Anybody else having contoller sensitivity problems? It seems loose compared to bc2.
Edit: it seems too high when scoped/sighted in bur not high enough when hip hiring

Running this for the first time and I'm having some jarring issue. It feels like my game is running in windowed mode even when I check full screen in the menu. It's really difficult to describe, but it's irritating the hell out of me. Anyone happen to know what I'm talking about? I'll try to think about a better way of explaining it, but it just doesn't feel right.

Upon attempting to change my password:
Oh joy... been like this since I got home from work at 3:30pm (central).
I was having trouble with this too, the EA Profile page just wasn't responding.
What finally worked for me was clicking on the "Forgot Password?" link on the Battlelog page.
Yep. It's actually the one thing that worries me about the game as it doesn't feel like a bug but like it was designed to be like this.timmytheman123 said:
Absolutely hate it.
Still not sure of it's a problem with just scoping in, but it sure looks like they added momentum to the aiming of the guns.
One second it feels like they aren't responding to the pressure you put on the analogue stick, and next thing you know, your sights are swinging all over the place even though you didn't push the stick any harder.
That part is really screwed up, especially since BC2 nailed it.

where's my Caspian map, you monsters?!
i feel like a console peasant playing on metro.

Anyone else getting horrific animation bugs, especially death animations? Sometimes upon killing an enemy he would fly off to the side at incredible speed. Or twist and bend in really strange ways.
I don't think its avoidable when the hit detection happens on the client side. It's either that or adjusting your shots based on ping.

How do I fix my hud? It's offscreen. Resolution is 2650x1600. Anyone have this issue?
Anytime a new map starts, the game starts in Windowed mode. There the HUD looks file. When I hit ALT+TAB, it goes full screen buy my hud is half off the screen completely. Any ideas?

I want to give this another shot. But why the hell are all the servers returning a ping of 100 or more?
Game's alright, feels like a better BC2 (wich i guess i should expect) and less like BF2. Beta is glitched to hell though, and that's expected but still a shame. Half the players were getting stuck into the prone animation and sliding through the map, lol. I dont think i'll be playing too much of it, but i have to say finding servers in Brazil and Chile was a nice surprise.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Just tried the 360 Beta.
Is it supposed to suck? Not feeling this at all.

Ok I am back in this. Still feels like people die to quickly. I got comfortable with the health and damage of BC2. This still feels too fast.

They did some good work with the shooting and hit models, but yeah, the overall package is a bit meek with this little development time left. The visual oomph isn't there for me as well, it just smacks of trying too hard and not focusing on more important things (clarity, anti-aliasing, etc) and it's overwrought lighting and post processing has clearly scaled down very poorly to the consoles given what people are saying.
So many annoyances with just the UI alone, I mean I can't map keys at all or even change my options without being in-match and alive? I could live with the somewhat awkward/clunky Korean MMO-styled browser based matchmaking if I at least had more power in it.
They picked some really, really bad shit for the beta as well. Why am I in some corridor map playing Gold Rush? Did I mistakenly download the Bad Company 3 beta? This is not what a mainline Battlefield game should be like for me. =/
It's a console series now, despite the kiss-ass they try to play with the PC community, but if they'd just focus on the things they do well rather than awful single player modes and trying to cuss out Call of Duty while copying it's homework they'd be better off.

No... don't say this! I love the speed in which you die, I think it's absolutely perfect the way it is, I like the way that you drop... yes it means that you die faster, but it just means that you've got to change your play style a bit, you've got to slow down the pace that you move at, and play a bit more tactically.
Listen to what I say, and you will play better, believe me, slow down, check corners, move slowly, clear rooms and aim carefully and put bursts into peoples chests and they will go down before you as long as you hit them first, and don't stay locked in position, keep moving otherwise you're sure to get flanked. Be sure to switch to your pistol when you run out of bullets when you're near a fire fight otherwise you will die (obviously trying to hide while someone knows you're there and you try and reload is a death sentence) but I think I'm probably sounding condescending by now...
All I can suggest is slow you're game down, and hit the deck as soon as you notice that someone has spotted you... and unfortunately, due to the way Metro is, if you come up upon someone with a shotgun inside the train station part, you're a dead man lol.

Ugh, people are really bad at this game. Learn to use mobile spawns, learn to push to m-coms.

i agree, it feels like its on hardcore. maybe its just this map but the enemy base is too close and the map is too small. the game feels too nob friendly to me. The pace needs to be slowed down just a little bit so a player can be more tactical.Lostconfused said:

Personally I completely, absolutely, wholeheartedly disagree. I think they've done a perfect job of evolving the series, obviously they're not going to make it just like Battlefield 2 because it's Battlefield 3, and obviously they have created Bad Company 1 and Bad Company 2 (and other games) since then which all influence the development of the game - personally I think this is an amazing and brilliant rendition of where DICE has come, it's like the absolute of everything that they've done. It's got just enough BF2 and just enough BC2 feeling to please fans of both, but absolutely heaps of new feel to be BF3 on it's own, to me it feels completely different to both those games in enough of a way to be considered the high point of the series for me by far... I doubt that could be disputed.
I don't know if you've had a chance to get on Caspian Border yet, but perhaps that would change your opinion, but I would still feel the same way having only played Operation Metro knowing that these mechanics will be brought to the big wide open battle fields that I know and love... I just can't wait.
Some of the conflicts that I've had in Caspian are just pure sex... better than anything I've experience in any other game before. Those things would have never been possible before without this engine and these graphics and it's all because of the foliage and the way the level works. Being able to hold down the 'forest' position by myself against many more opposition through smart play, and wiping out a squad, getting them pissed off, getting them to come back and expect you to be in the same position but move to another position (it's so good and easy to play stealthy in this game, especially when you use things like the suppressor and various other 'stealth' tactics) but out of range of the flag, let them cap the flag, pick them off again, cap it back, they've spawned while you move again, and pick them off again while they're running around looking for you - rinse and repeat for a whole map. They got me a few times, but I think it must have been 8 guys + against me and another guy at one stage and we held down that forest position by ourselves for the whole map and it was one of the best things I've ever experienced, and that's just a small section of one map.
Then there's the hilltop with all the various ways of attack, flanking and funneling, the tower, the checkpoint, the gas station, they all have their own little 'wars' going on at each one and then the infinite different things in between, and then there is the war going on in the sky with the jets, the vehicle battles between checkpoints, it's just pure unadulterated amazingly awesome... and that's just ONE MAP! We don't even know what the other seven maps are, and then there are the four classic maps being re-made... my god, it is just pure fantasy to think about those BF2 maps with this level of detail, and I just can't wait to play them...
This game is going to own my life... I am not going to cope when the Beta goes away, although I'm not playing it 100% of the time while I'm awake I just like knowing that it's there... <3 and fap fest for BF3 over.
