I think I just saw "Attack order issued" or something like that flash on his screen. Squad leader commands?
That sticky in the EA forum says you had to preorder before the 25th instead of by the 25th. I always thought by a certain date included that day, like the dates on food. Hoping he assumed it's the other way around and he's the one that using the word before and the people that preordered yesterday are still getting in.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything

It's just my least favorite. And everyone always quits on it. Always. And lately it constantly comes up in the rotation. Really soured me on playing lately. Just hate the map (for a lot of reasons).

Is the new spotting system implemented?

I didn't play the Alpha and now I'm watching the livestream... it looks like you can really chuck grenades in BF3 vs BC2. Can anyone else confirm this from the alpha or stream?

I thought that even with the LAV the first set was still quite hard to get past?...

Spots changed, lots of cover for A.
Relaxed Muscle said:
Not really. You could load the LAV with a bunch of people, and then pretty much cap B instantly (while covering it with the LAV).
We got out of the park in a matter of a couple minutes doing it that way.
This beta may be infantry only. The terrain still has LAV paths all over it.
Terrain is completely different though. Cover all over the place.
There were a BUNCH of problems that made it hard. It wasnt hard just because.Relaxed Muscle said:
1. Squad spawning didnt work 80% of the time
2. Spotting people that were hidden from view
3. LAV campers (it's a transport vehicle, not a tank)
Those were the main reasons why it was dubbed as being "hard".
EDIT: Nice new sideways crawling animations

Maybe its a rush thing but be adviced radio chatter spam is still there, also hard to see from the quality but lame 3d spotting is sorta visible.
No visible difference in recoil.

dice apparently toned down the bright white because of alpha complaints.

Oh. That...could get annoying :/
Menelaus said:
Does the squad leader have to make room for the beacon, or does it just fill it's own slot? If it's the former, it's pointless. Either way, it's an odd olive branch toward people that want full squad spawning.
Edit: Wait, so this isn't the same thing as the Recon's beacon?

so did I, but lots of people complained about it sadly :/
Watching the guys play on battlefield3.tv reminds me exactly why I dont like full squad spawning. Every time he spawns on a squad member, what is he doing? He's holding down shift to run before he's even spawned and then runs around to do some stupid shit. Then he dies and does the same exactly thing again.
Run/Spawn/Shoot/Die/Run/Spawn/Shoot/Die/Run/Spawn/Shoot/Die
At least he can actually kill
EDIT:
It's also good to not see orange triangles popping up everywhere

I know that. When others play like that, it gets on my nerves and becomes a problem. You dont stick with your squad, you spawn and run off and do some dumb shit then do it again. Squad members are seen as spawn points now.Izayoi said:
Looks like rush to me, but he sure is doing a good job at making it look like TDMdesu said:
Ah, I seedesu said:
It's exactly what I was afraid of but then again, it's just 1 guy. Lol, who am I kidding...most people are going to play like him now.
Full squad spawning encourages this crap because you have so many spawn points to choose from after you die so there's not much of a consequence of dying (which would be spawning back at base if your SL died).

If he hadn't capped one MCOM in six games, I'd have thought he didn't know they existed. He's a reasonably decent TDM player (he has sprayed and prayed, and subsequently missed, more than once though) but he's a terrible Rush player.
He's providing this stream though, so he's a stand up gentleman.
Mcom got armed... 3 tickets left...guy made no attempt to cover it. It got disabled. Rage face. I'm outttt.
