I downloaded the 360 beta last night. I think it only has the Metro level :-/

Anyway, overall I didn't hate it, and since it's the beta and I only got a small taste of it I'm not going to make a decision on it. It does scare me that this close to release the beta has so many problems. I imagine EA will continue with the industry standard and release a broken game to be patched later.

The biggest complaint I have is the scope glare. I like the idea, it just looks stupid the way they did it. I'd like to see a shimmer rather than a freaking spotlight.

Also I was a bit disappointed in the destructible environments... didn't seem to be as good as BC2.

I agree about the scope glare. It's kind of odd seeing it in the subway station too, in the pitch black tunnel. haha but :good: Gives me a chance to shoot the kids.
 
i've never noticed glare, might be my tv settings and ya'll's, although i did lower the light and up the contrast or whatever that made things like the swirling loading thingy on the xbox menus show up more and haven't noticed anything really.
 
I finally had two of those rare matches that make it all worth it, despite the rage caused by the development of most rounds due to people only going for the frags. My team was able to work together to accomplish the objectives set out. Not only did we win a round as attackers, but we managed to defend successfully as well (both objectives were intact at the first stage of the map). And the enemy never succeeded in flanking, which was very nice.
 
I love it when people complained that the game is broken.

"Damn it, this free beta doesn't work! I'm gonna go play the call of duty beta... oh wait."
 
First thing I do on either team is go Recon, run up as far as I can and plant a radio. If my team is lone wolfing, I'll join them by pitching my tent on that little island and sniping the snipers!

Works as attackers or defenders.

The RPG/SMAW are actually quite good in medium range, just aim for the feet.
 
I first played it on the 360 and rocked it out, but knew it would be a different story on PC and I was right. First game I played was hardcore, I guess, and I didn't know so I kept shooting some teammates since it didn't have the green and orange indicators. Figured out how to server filter so all is well again.
 
Just letting everyone know.... for those who dont already.... CASPIAN BORDER IS UNLOCKED FOR EVERYONE...FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I could be wrong but i think its only for pc.


for those of you who have already played, do you have lag on the map or is it just me?

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I was getting bored with Metro so I stopped plating, kind of sucks ass that I have to got to work. Hopefully the servers aren't super busy when I get home.
 
Unfortunately theyre practically full at this time, but if you wait a few mins you can usually get in.

It is immense, not so great for me as im running an 8800 gts so its really bad performance, im hoping my new card is here before they close the beta but i doubt it :/
 
Caspian Border looks promising, but I have yet to be able to enjoy it as every server I've joined has had big issues with lag.

not even close, was playing on the xbox but apparently that's either only on the pc or won't be on the others till the weekend or something, but i downloaded it on this thing and it can't even launch, i wanted to see if it could get 5fps but you have to have dx10 for nvidia or 10.1 for amd's, and this is 9 so that stunk, but i have built up 90 so far for my build and already have a case from a while back now.
 
So you know the antenna thing on caspian? If you plant a spawner after going up the ladder on the platform, when you spawn from it, you'll spawn in the air near the top of the tower. You can land on a higher platform and snipe away, like I am here:

I've been having pretty bad connectivity issues with these servers. It often is really laggy during gameplay and it disconnects frequently.
