Ahh hardcore mode...you are so fun

at least until some faggot asshole team kills you when you and your friend are trying to take off in the apache and rape face. Well it works both ways. Any fucker who team kills me for the chopper gets "kidnapped" Team Kill, defib, teamkill, defib etc. I'll grief you till you leave. Yeah its a bit prickish, but you ruin my experience, I'll ruin yours. And hey its a beta, stats get wiped anyway

Shame they gonna take away the possibility to destroy MCOM´s with ordnance

I had heard that they were going to increase the damage it could take by a significant amount and not remove the ability to damage it completely. So you could still blow it up with C4, it would just take a shitload of it. Although i have no idea if that's fact or speculation.

12 c4 i think.

Might be, but tank shells and mortars arn´t going to work anymore I think. Good if they keep the C4 option though. Went ninja the other day and blew up 5 MCOM´s total as assault
Was funny to see the other team go wtfhax?!

I love doing that. Although i wish the ammo boxes gave C4 quicker as it is painfully slow at the moment.

And i don't think stopping tanks/mortars from damaging it will make a huge difference as they will just try to blow up the building around it.

I played the demo and it all feels so clumsy and sluggish. Also, they really stopped trying to be even just a little bit realistic, huh?

console-ish?

very.

Too bad this is consolized and somewhat laggy.  I like it, but don't know if I'll rush out and buy it immediately...hopefully the beta keeps improving bit by bit.

The good, IMO:

Wide assortment of weapons/gadgets
Lots of "awards"
Graphics are nice...not great, but good
Sounds are great
Destructable environs
Gameplay is kept relatively focused on key areas, keeping the fighting pretty uniformly intense throughout the game
It's a new Battlefield game to kill time with


The bad, IMO:

Movement is clunky...better than lots of console ports, but still not as good as BF2
Netcode leaves a lot to be desired...I guess it's improved some, but there is still warping going on on servers I get 30 ping to, with 12-15mb cable
Maybe just me, but I would like medics wielding 50 lb guns to need to crouch occasionally to rape face
Consolized grenade-throwing is fail
Consolized melee is even moar fail
Some environmental stuff gets destroyed a little too easy

At this point, its a B+...a few more weeks of successful patches, and it could easily be an A-level game.

I hope they add more (any?) joystick support to the beta at some point so I can truly test the helis out.

6AM EST on the 25th.  EA servers will go down and beta ends.  You have 7 hours from now.  Go Go Go!

Melee attacks.

Yes, because the Battlefield series never had melee attacks until now.

Minimal recoil,

This game has massive recoil compared to MW.

a shit ton of awards,

Didn't play 2142 I take it?

It never had 1 button press melees. Yes, while it may not have 0 recoil like some MW2 weapons it's damn close. I'm a 2 star in 2142, so I've played my fair share. As I said it's becoming more like MW2 and over time it has. Each evolution of this game has become more noob friendly, and giving the little kids awards for every single nade kill, knife kill and head shot. Just as we all bitched about MW2 being childish and noobish. Now that there are destructible environments it's all the more reason to spam nades.

Seems like this game is starting to copy MW2. Melee attacks. Minimal recoil, the MCOM game is basically MW2s Demolition mode, a shit ton of awards, KILLCAMS, a hardcore mode. What's next? No dedicated servers?

Rush is basically Gold Rush from Bad company 1 except the gold crates are MCOM's. They are just reviving the BC1 gamemode.

Also have you played it yet?

Because you have your gun out shooting at them, then if you get close you just rape face with the press of a button, then if you miss you can go through the rest of your clip. Knifing should take effort and skill, manually switching away from your primary to make it either a true embarrassing kill or a last ditch effort. Insta-rape inside 5 feet doesn't make the game any more fun.

I really don't know what good games have it...UT didn't, BF series didn't, CS didn't...

Everyone only has 1 grenade so no nade spam.

Uh one button auto knifing?

Remember BF1942 or BF2?

Yea, and they both had melee attacks, although you had to switch to the knife.

Someone explain how having a one button melee attack (something other games had long before MW) is a bad thing?

I don't think it's bad. I like it. Don't have to go crazy and charge at the enemy if you want to knife a soldier shooting at ya and if you fail you can just shoot him. And it still takes skill to kill someone.

At least the knife in BC2 isn't as bad as CoD4 or MW2, at least not as far as I can tell.
