Coming from COD (which is all I have ever played) it takes a lot of getting used to. If you keep playing though you learn that it is very team based and there is a lot more strategy that has to happen or you will just keep dying and your team will lose. So far I like it and it blows away all COD's up to this point.

Also keep in mind it is a beta so there will be bugs and glitches here and there.

Pleasantly surprised to read this. The COD players I've talked to have been so negative...I've always been more of a Battlefield person myself, it's always felt so much more realistic....

Yes it is more realistic and I must say that the sound on a 5.1 surround sound is incredible. If you don't have surround sound your missing out big time.

Agreed, I have 5.1 but I've also been using the beats that my wife got me for our anniversary to play as well....

I finally downloaded it today. One of the first things I did was go prone behind a rock.... and then through the ground. Did you know that beneath green grass, there is a blue sky with airplanes painted on it?

Finally got back on this side of the earth, and, being primarily an Xbox360 player playing this on the PS3, immediately pulled out the shank when I tried to kill an enemy peeking through some bushes. Why the hell would R1 be the trigger instead of R2?

I backed out of the game and went through the menus. Game controls > default, alternate, lefty, lefty alternate. huh? Can I set up my own controls?

I've played a few Battlefield games through the years: Modern Combat, BF2BC, etc and have always really despised COD. I've been a Ghost Recon fanboy for years. The Ghost Recon control scheme is always automatic for me. I've always struggled with the control schemes of other shooters.

There are some obvious flaws in the beta...but it is a beta. I think it will be fixed. The only bug that may take some time is the prone bug where you go under the ground...yes that's happened to me as well. They didn't include prone in BFBC2 for this reason. They couldn't figure out how to make it work with the Frostbite engine. Doesn't look they figured out how to make it work with the Frostbite 2 engine either.

If they can't figure it out, just take it out...although I do like the ability to go prone..it makes it seem more realistic to me. Some people hate it and I get why. It makes the game harder. And it tends to make people camp more...well in real war I doubt you'd see these same people running around like madmen.

In a real war, you wouldn't have 12 Soldiers taking an area the size of these maps. It would take two battalions to reach the LOAs on those huge maps.

The beta code is like 2 months old, the beta is strictly for testing network load capacity although some little things are being fixed from the feedback. Don't worry. Not to mention Microsoft frowns on demo/betas being over 2gig so they had less to work with.

I gave it another try, and here is what I posted on the IGN boards:

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I definitely have reconsidered my position, especially if the graphics are gonna get better as you said.

I played it again for an hour or two last night and I finished as the 2nd best player once, and with a KDR of 1 or better each game. There are still some features I don't quite understand, like throwing out the med kits/ammo and the mobile spawn points (how do you set it?).

But, when I concentrated on the objectives and helping my team get to them, I had a much more pleasurable experience.

I can see how people say BF and CoD are two completely different games. BF seems like more of a simulator... for instance, idk how many times I ran into an opposing player or pack of them, and upon seeing them it took a second to register they weren't on my team because there isn't any giant RED "HEY THIS IS A BAD GUY" script above their head.

All in all, I enjoyed it for the most part last night once I understood it for what it was (and heard the graphics will indeed get better lol)!

use teamwork people, please!

Nobody cares about your k-d ratio in this game....I've played with people who went 4-17 in the beta and they were great teammates and were able to help us get the win on offense.....

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
