Alright peeps, I'm at work, so you'll have to be my eyes and ears. If you notice anything in particular about unlocks or how gadgets work from this stream, lemme know and I'll update the weapons/unlock listing.

 

[LordCanti]

You have earned:

EYESIGHT BLOCKING RIBBON
CONGRATULATIONS

That's got to change.

Damage still seems pretty high for non-HC, at least a bit higher than BC2.

Seems a little less than the alpha to me, but still right in the range I like it.

Blue screen filter bug after spawning is still there. lulz

Does it still say Combat Efficenty Ribbon?

 

[nitric0]

Im going to guess my settings of choice already....

RES : 1080p
Textures : HIGH
Shadows : MEDIUM
EFFECTS : ULTRA
MESH : MEDIUM
TERRAIN : MEDIUM
TERRAIN DECORATION : MEDIUM
AA DEF : 2XMSAA
AA POST MEDIUM
MOTION BLUR : OFF
AF : 16x
AMBIENT OCCLUSIONS : OFF

Specs?

I'm running a Phenom IIX4 @ 4.0, 8GB RAM and a 6870. Hopefully I can run the game on high with some medium settings (shadows etc)

That's GOOD.
BC2 was so bad, you literally had to unload a whole clip of ammo into someone with a sub-machine gun.

 

[LordCanti]

Not sure. All I saw was the huge ribbon blocking the guys view.

This guy never went within range of an MCOM. Maybe they'll suck so bad on defense that we can see the ticket counter or the street.

 

[desu]

Thats a lot of changes on the map.

If this is all due to alpha feedback ... then I am kind of worried about the other maps :s.

What kind of things were changed?

 

[iam220]

Excuse me, but I've been out of the loop. How do I get early access to this again? I have to pre-order through origin? Is it not coming to steam?

That's GOOD.

Not really, especially not at close range. At close range the smg's have one of the highest DPS i believe.

 

[LordCanti]

What kind of things were changed?

They've put cover everywhere in the park. Walls, large rocks, etc. It's the same map geometrically but almost everything in the middle has been changed.

That's all we know right now, because this team can't get to the subway. (well, we know the B mcom in the subway has been given more cover)

Wait: B mcom in park may not be in the same area anymore. Sec

A MCOM is way far out in front of where it was, on the other side of the map. B is where A was. In the park anyway.

Looks more like the guy is playing on a very low resolution. Compare the scale/placement of the HUD to this 1680x1050 shot:

Still, they'll probably wanna change that.

 

[RoboPlato]

They were probably able to extrapolate a lot of changes. I'm sure they had a specific design philosophy when designing the maps and were able to see what worked and what didn't on Metro and apply that to other maps.

 

[Anton Sugar]

True, but doesn't change the fact that BC2 weapons, in general, had pretty low base damage, DPS be damned.

 

[Makoto]

Wait: B mcom in park may not be in the same area anymore. Sec

What was B in the Alpha is now in front of the bridge near the defender's deployment. That's probably the most drastic change as it's original spot was incredibly difficult to get to without the LAV.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Damage is high enough that getting surprised means getting killed most of the time.

 

[LordCanti]

Anyone have an Op_Metro map? I'll mark where the mcoms are now.

So I'm confused, is the second bomb site on the first section of Metro still in that god forsaken Gazebo? That was the more difficult of the two due to the fact that defenders spawned almost right next to you...the first site never seemed to be a problem when I played.

No, not in gazeebo.

Stream is still running if you haven't closed the window/tab yet.

 

[Hellcrow]

Did that floating gun just shoot?

[LordCanti]

I haven't seen nor heard the LAV. I'm not sure it's there anymore O_O

http://www.own3d.tv/live/126950

Yes, yes it did.

 

[woober]

LOL. There are some hilarious ragdoll bugs going on. Some soldier was lying flat on his back with his legs twitching and gun propped straight into the air, firing random bursts.

I am still watching the crappy stream.

[MNC]

So is it 3,5 more hours for the early access, or 15,5 more hours? 12GMT@Tuesday = ???

15,5

 

[desu]

Is this about right?

 

[LordCanti]

Is this about right?

Red square is A. Orange square on bottom is B. Terrain is completely changed.

These guys got their ass kicked in the park, then bailed before the subway. =/

I need them back in a game, because I honestly don't think I heard or saw the LAV at any point during that last match. I'm starting to think it's not in the beta.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Did he got kicked?.

And that guy is playing like any other BC2 player...

 

[cann3dheat]

So if you were in the alpha, do you get into the beta tomorrow, or does that not give you early access?

 

[MNC]

15,5

I actually made a typo, I meant 3 + 24 = 27 hours So tomorrow at midday?

 

[iam220]

True, but doesn't change the fact that BC2 weapons, in general, had pretty low base damage, DPS be damned.

*shrug* I found it to be inline with say, bf2. Although bf2 did not have regenerating health ...
Given the fast paced arcade game-play I did not mid the low dps and instead welcomed it.

 

[Nabs]

So if you were in the alpha, do you get into the beta tomorrow, or does that not give you early access?

You don't get early access for being in the Alpha unless you got an email saying so.

I think I saw it!? Not sure.

Thanks for telling about the mcom names, updated that.

nvm maybe its not on there anymore.

 

[Takamura-San]

There's an Area 3 and 4?

Never saw those on the alpha

You just played too bad .

That's the subway.

I'm still not seeing the LAV guys....

I heard keys were being sent out at midnight PST

It's all in the OP.

[Takamura-San]

It's too bad that i have to read too much for my master seminar paper.

I barely have any time at all to invest on this.

 

[Makoto]

Ugh, the guy just unlocked the defib. Why do we still have to unlock that?

 

[LordCanti]

I've watched two full rounds now...and I haven't seen the LAV. Am I going crazy, or did they take it out?

 

[Menelaus]

He just earned his defibs.

Let's watch as he doesn't use them.

 

[desu]

Ugh, the guy just unlocked the defib. Why do we still have to unlock that?

This, I hoped we could stop these kind of unlocks.

 

[ColeTheMole]

I didnt see any kills by it either hmm.
Yeah minimap showed that road area and no icon
