Yeah, kinda unbelievable.
Does anyone have info on the default mappings to the 360 controller? "Button 1" doesn't tell me much in the control menu.

OK, after around 8 hours invested in the multiplayer (conquest) I'm getting into it, and its incredible. It's kind of frustrating the first games, but I'm beginning to have those crazy situations I loved from BC2. And for me the gunplay is so much better than BC2.

It's pretty interesting. I'm so much more invested in how the team performs/how the round plays out in BF, compared to something like COD. In COD, I can really just run around and focus on myself/my own performance without worrying how the round is going to turn out. Maybe it's the longer rounds in BF or having defined more clearly defined objectives (depending on the mode).

Same here. Every time I join a server and I get into a team that's on the verge of losing, I get pissed. It's probably cause my win/loss ratio sucks ass because of my bad luck, joining losing teams. I like that they make the win/loss ratio so prominent though. Hopefully it forces people to do their objective.

Just royal mail first class.
Still in "dispatching soon".
Ordered it back in June lol.
I'm in Northern Ireland, so doubt I'll get it tomorrow. Although royal mail changed their delivery times in my area like 2 weeks ago, used to deliver around 12:30pm, now it's around 3:30pm. Which might actually work in my favour.
If the thing actually dispatches today.

I am guessing you see this in the Battlelog? For some reason it is completely missing from the 360 Leaderboards as far as I can tell.

The NeoGAF official server, of course. Pretty sure it's in the OP, if not, check community.

Been playing some on the GAF server, but I think I find the smaller 32 man matches more fun. Average lifespan is much longer, as well as score and kill count. Been spending some time on the Rush maps too, I think they did a great job on Rush mode with this group of maps.

Yeah, I remember you from a post a good while back. I'm from N.I. too, just 10 minutes or so away from you as far as I remember. I got my email late Tuesday and had it Wednesday morning with the regular 2 day option as did a friend of mine. But as I say, the other friend who picked next day delivery hasn't had his dispatched yet.MrPing1000 said:
I just tried the jets again. This time on Kharg Island. Jesus christ, the jets are completely unusable on that map. Even when I slow the jets down to 200+, you still fly way too fast to have any kind of effect on ground forces. After trying the whole night, I still have yet to get a single kill in the damn things. WTF.

The tutorial/qte prompts don't change when using a controller. Also, some of the buttons just don't work correctly during qte even though you're pressing the correct one.
And there are other annoying things. Such as when you sprint, it's not click once and push the stick. You have to click the stick in and hold it in for the entire time you're sprinting.
Also, "spot" isn't mapped to the back button. It just shows the score board, even if you tap it.
I think they pretty much don't differentiate between tapping and holding on any of the buttons.
I was kinda surprised/impressed/pleased walking home just now to see that Nottingham Gamestation are doing a midnight opening. I even contemplated walking down their myself later tonight, before realising how plain dumb that would be with regards to my bodily state walking into work tomorrow.

Dive. Fly super high, almost straight up, then fly back down, acquire targets, and kill.
I wouldn't bother with firing on infantry. Take out tanks and choppers.

Same situation here. I played a ton of BC2 and Vietnam on the 360 and haven't gotten back into that flow yet, but it is getting there. One issue I have is vehicles not blowing up when they should; I swear vehicles take a beating this go-around and give too much of an opportunity for the driver(s) to get out.

I finally figured out how to fix this. Download the fifa 12 demo, load it up and it tries to log you into an EA account with your gamertag. Since you already have an EA account use the same email to log in within the demo and it should link up. If your gamertag is already linked to a different account (from playing a different EA game in the past) you have to either use that account as your main EA account or contact their customer support to switch your gamertag / persona to your new account.
It was extremely frustrating for me because apparently my gamertag was linked to my friends EA account from 3 years ago when I let him play nhl 08 on my 360 =/ I had no clue it was linked to that account and had to switch my gamertag to my account through customer support... and of course EA's shittastic website was no help at all. Glad I finally got it all sorted out.

360 showing 2 servers right now... Nice!
MrCompletely said:
Agreed. I prefer 32 player conquest when I'm playing by myself. Less players means less chaos and I'm able to defend points without being bumrushed by 15 guys.
Whenever I have a couple buddies playing though I tend to favour 64 player conquest, just because as a squad with voicecoms we can still be effective in the chaos.

Watching my brother play the Xbox version, I noticed a huge difference in play because of the numbers of the people in the game. He could run for stretches at a time without shooting anyone or having been shot.
On PC, if I don't crawl towards the objective, I'm dead.

360 controllers work fine. It's ridiculous that joysticks don't work. My HOTAS X is just collecting dust.dk_ said:
Mr. Snrub said:
Same here; it feels good to work together and get things done whereas in COD running and gunning is all I really needed to worry about. My one buddy is adjusting to not letting K/D ratio be that big of a deal coming from COD..he is having a tough time with that one lol.
FlyinJ said:
Yeah that sucks. Are you using it in MP than? How are you finding the long range targeting with it? It's kinda difficult to do with a mouse can't really imagine what it's like with analogs. I'm guessing (and hoping) that they didn't include auto-aim and other helpers.

Did the NeoGAF NA server get replaced by the Euro one? Battlelog is only displaying the Euro server atm.
