My friend and I can't join a single game. 360.
YOU HAVE LOST COMMECTION TO THE SESSION.
YOU HAVE LOST COMMECTION TO THE SESSION.
Reviews weren't kidding around about it being one of the worst single player campaigns of the year. Enemies literally running through concrete walls. Getting a 5 second countdown and RETURN TO MISSION AREA notice every time I try to flank an enemy. Even bodycount/the new bad call of juarez weren't this big of a cluster fuck. Such a bummer since I thought the bad company campaigns were decent.
360 multiplayer isn't really playable at all either.
Really glad I borrowed this instead of going through with the preorder.

I have done this a couple of times now, gotta learn how to fly that bad boy somehow and I can't do it any other way.
Waaahhh?Spookie said:Yes! Caspian is fucking terrible on Rush, awesome on conquest.
Caspian is amazing on Rush but then again i played on a server with no spotting (2d or 3d) no minimap (was surprised at how i liked having this off), no killcam, squad leader only spawning, no regen health, no vehicle regen health, 100% health, no damage modifier, and everything else regular. It was glorious to be able to stealth around but you also had to keep your eyes peeled and really look for someone. You could lose sight of someone pretty quickly too, even if they were just in plain view.
It made me realize just how much hand holding we have going on these days and how fun it was w/o all of the hand holding.
You know what I would have liked to see ? A vehicle training simulation where it lets you just train up with how vehicles work. Not an actual server you could make, but like another tab option along with campaign,co-op,mp, etc.
Would be a great way to help people become comfortable with the flying controls and tweak their settings.

People are bitching because they want better and bigger maps and those people aren't the type to be playing a game as old as BF2 for the past couple of years. I'm pretty sure people don't want to play bad large maps, but good ones (regardless of the results of previous efforts) and they probably would appreciate the opportunity for variety as well. BF allows for a HUGE variety in map size and it's a shame that DICE didn't utilize that and didn't appease the people of all desires in that regard.Red Blaster said:

I'm enjoying the hell out of the campaign at the moment. I guess I don't understand/see the viewpoint of the reviews out there about it.

Empty servers don't allows me to move around. Co Op I just thought was some of the campaign stuff but meh, people will deal with it, with the amount of retards fooling around me crashing a helicopter every now and then when there's no one around to take it won't matter much.

I hate that rockets and grenades you shoot or throw disappear midair if you die. It's bullshit.
PaleFolklore said:
They do? Omg I thought I was going insane! I had several moments where I would be setting up to shoot a tank with a RPG, then someone shows up by me so I let it fly at them, but I die and I saw the rocket trail and heard the noise go right at them, but no death.
You know what else stinks? That it takes 7 years to stand up. You'd think my soldier would be in better shape that if a grenade lands by him he would GET THE FUCK UP AND RUN!

Any idea what's the general consensus? GAF seems all over the place with this one. :/

Just installed it.
Ugh! I'm still getting that weird stutter when looking around. I thought this would have been fixed by now. Is this a driver issue?

I've also crashed at least half a dozen different ways. From just basic lockups, to being stuck at the loading screen for 20 minutes, etc. Right now every time I join a match it tells me that I've been kicked by an administrator after 3 or 4 minutes(and I'm not doing anything inappropriate so I know it isn't intentional by the admin, has happened on 3 straight servers now).

I suck at it, and I haven't found a game type that I like the flow of yet, but you can still have some super fun moments. Not sure if you are PC or console, but speaking from a PC point of view it's worth picking up if you play with GAF. The server makes up for the shitty games you can join in on your own with randoms.
Is this your first BF game? If it is then the learning curve can be a little steep, but if it isn't and you enjoyed BC2 then you should have fun here too.
Mileage may vary, but I still say pick it up as there isn't anything quite like it. Plus, what other games let you parachute from the air and shoot a RPG to the ground as you plummet and blow up a tank?

BC2 was my first BF game and it was fun enough. But I bought that after the terrible launch it had so...yeah I guess my opinion may be skewed.zlatko said:I suck at it, and I haven't found a game type that I like the flow of yet, but you can still have some super fun moments.

if you ignore the stuff that doesn't feel like a BF game at all, sure (the specific maps have already been called out numerous times).
But I guess I should make it known that my favorite was BF2 PC.
I'm actually a little surprised (and worried I guess) that there are people finding NO issues at all. Or maybe I've just had some bad games....who knows.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow, the sound difference between stereo and headphones = Amazing. Never going back to speakers again after this :lol
Oh, and the graphics are probably the best I've ever seen on console - no fucking joke.
The singleplayer sucks ass though (2 hours in).

The UI in this game is almost laughably bad, on the 360 at least. It's "Can't see shit captain" in a nutshell.
Notifications pretty much take up the bottom half of the screen. When you capture a point the point marker goes just above the center of the screen.
Points will flash on your minimap, but unless I'm missing something there's no on-screen notification as to which point it is (They flashed on screen in BC2).
I've also noticed there doesn't seem to be balance between extreme brightness (BLOOM EVERYWHERE) and the darkness on the night maps. It was either too fucking bright to see most of the things on screen, or too dark (Tehran Highway for example).
Unrelated, but server lag doesn't really help with the experience either. I expected it though, BC2 was the same way on launch.

It's shit. Don't do it for infantry combat. You could be the shittiest person at mouse aiming, and you'll do better with a mouse. Aiming has a weird ass acceleration and is very touchy (even at super low sensitivity, which'll screw you in other ways)--renders you entirely ineffective. I tried to be the lazy couch bastard, don't make the same mistake.Prologue said:
