Not impressed with what I've played so far. Then again I'm playing the 360 version. Where are all the jets and tanks they showed off in the trailer? Maybe this just isn't my style of MP...game felt really slow and plodding to me. I think this demo might have actually dissuaded me from buying the game, unless the single player is REALLY REALLY good.

Well if they are going to put out a demo to try and get people to buy the game, they should actually demo a map that has some of the major selling points of the MP. Unless this is strictly being used as a bug/feedback and stress test.

sounds like people are getting banned or something. theres some nice "fuck you ea" threads in the forum. there were people talking about using cheats earlier today in a match i was playing too. thats pretty bad to see cheaters that fast.
also sad to see a massive bronie thread on the forum.

you have to wait. it can take minutes before it launches. also make sure you're using the beta drivers. the game would fail to load with my old ones.

I just unlocked them and they are amazing. Surprisingly easy to kill people with them as well.
They're one of a few unlocks for the assault class's grenade launcher. Just unlock the noob tube and then rack up kills to unlock the smoke.

It's great for clearing rooms. And the second unlock is the 40mm darts.. which I had a blast with. If you like shotguns in this game you'll adore the darts.
Edit: I'm not sure how many kills you need, as it isn't listed anywhere in-game or on Battlelog. Just keep grinding away and you'll get them eventually, they're next after the darts.
Edit2: Actually looking at my stats, I have 22 kills with the noob tube - 2 of which were smoke iirc. So I'd say it takes 20 kills to unlock the smoke.

But you can't deny that a hyped beta like this isn't doing the job of a glorified demo as well. And this close to releasing the actual product.

Slapping the Beta Tag on your Demo is cost efficient and allows you to use the ever trusty: "It's just a Beta"TM Excuse.
And even the Beta Excuse doesn't make Metro suddenly a good map.
BTW anyone else noticed the cheap cutout shadow gradient around the gun? Just select the SV98 and go prone. While crouching forward you should notice the hovering shadow around the edges of the gun... looks comically bad.

It's impossible to camp
Sooner or later you will get killed
Campers are those people that stay @ same position for the whole game go 12-0 and think they are god's gift to the human race for being so 1337
Smart BF players weed out the scrubs and own them, I make it my personally duty to go stab these mofo's who just sit on a hill think that is what it means to be Recon
Recons first and foremost are suppose to call out enemies, alert the front lines, which way enemies are approaching, so the team can shift defense towards that area
The are suppose to lay suppressive fire in the vicinity of enemies or help one of their teammates run away from ambush
Most importantly you should be trying to nullify their Recons and pushing the enemies towards the area were the front line can attack and kill them
The only thing that sucks about this is the lone wolf approach is so embedded into the gaming culture, you rarely get any teamwork done
I literally go out of my fucking way to get teammates revive them, heal them, ammo them up, every time I spawn, I always get to choke points, drop what ever class I am supplies and move forward
Remember DEFENDERS defend, they are not camping, they are protecting the MCOM's, they can't just run around like headless chickens so you attackers can rack up kills because you have an infinite supply of kills, while defender just need to knock a 100 of you out and game over
If anyone camps it's the Attackers, go figure
5+ think their super snipers and fire their M11 Mods with ACOG's from the crater hole and stay there, while Defenders get upset and move up to meet and wreck them, and take away any area that they had and get them to push back out to starting positions
I wish squads worked, I wish mics worked, cause with 4 smart BF players, you can takeover the whole fucking game
The squad perks are so beneficial for the whole squad, 1 with sqd flak, 1 with sprint, 1 with sqd ammo, and 1 with sqd explv
Meaning all of you will be running with all 4 perks activated making all 4 of you fucking powerhouses
I can't wait for BF3, I love Objective based games, I love teamwork, I love working together and getting the WIN which is the most important part in any game
I'm DAY 1, hopefully I see some of you on the Battlefield on the PS3, cause I'm ready

Oh wow!Mr Sandman said:Figured out how to attach the grenade launcher to the gun: just choose the underslung rail with the grenade launcher equipped. Pretty obvious, but I didn't read the underslung description.
Agree with you on all points.GraveRobberX said:
This is why when I'm on squad that plays like a team, I enjoy the most. Even if my stats in that round are shit (good chances are they wont be), it still gives me more pleasure than going a lone wolf on disjointed squad and get great stats.
Btw, is there an official keyboard layout? How can we change the bindings? Thanks.

The more than questionable Hitboxes that are especially crippled when shooting at people going from prone to stand and vice versa.

Sometimes if an enemy zooms past you, you can kill them just by shooting at their feet when you are in a prone position, and it sometimes it registers with a crosshair signifying it as a headshot, hope that is what he's talking about
Your bullets just hit the edge on the back of the boot
Anyone getting the feeling that your hit-box is trailing you?, Shooting Latency
Remember this in BFBC2
Shooting Latency
Trailing Hit-Box
Sometime people die around corners, with my bullets, and I have died many times to the same thing
