Beta is pretty good. I am not a huge fan of the map/gametype, but the actual engine/fighting is pretty decent. Ofc I suck with a controller, am looking forward to PC release \o/

As far as conesole FPS go, I still prefer MAG , but I am definatly getting BC2 ( though on PC)

I just hope they throw up a new map/gametype soon and dont keep same map for whole beta.

I think my biggest issue with the map, is there is no point in doing half of it. Since attackers get their tickets back if they complete one "stage" of objectives, its pretty clear by the 2nd or 3rd objective who is going to win. If the attackers can reach get past the second objective, I have never seen attackers lose.

Also, if defeners are winning and a lot of attackers leave, it can drag on forever. If theres only 2 attackers left on the team and 50+ tickets..... it takes a long ass time to finish the map, but if your an objective or 2 in and have accumulated decent points you dont want to leave the game either, and lose your score for the map.

Ofc I think this will change during beta before retail , and overall it is definately shaping up to be a kick ass game.

What is the round grenade on D-PAD Right which snipers have?

I've gotten three or four games in to this point. I've still noticed that even in squads it seems no one is using headsets. Does anyone else notice this also.

I've gotten a bit better at telling who you're supposed to be shooting but am still getting ridiculously pwnd. I just can't get used to it yet I guess. I've been sticking to cover and trying to hang back when i can. I have done a bit better as a sniper, but I hate the fact that it seems 50% of the people in the game are sniping at any given time. I think almost every time I die, I'm getting picked off by a sniper.

Yeah, matches do tend to go on a bit. Where both teams are competent, they're a good 40-45 minutes long.

Kantor said: I'm almost too upset to post my impressions. PLEASE NOTE: This is based on one match. And not even one match. 20 minutes of one match. This game is actually PAINFUL to play. It is about as enjoyable as cutting your arm off with a chainsaw. You die after three bullets, and health regenerates ridiculously slowly. There are no med-packs, of course. Those are for old games. No, you just get hit by a pistol bullet and stagger around for half an hour before a tank missile puts you out of your misery. The graphics: My first thought on starting the match was "wow, this is hideous". Then, I thought "actually, it's not that bad, it's just no Killzone 2. It's an improvement on the original". And it is. Except why does it look like they sprayed a bunch of sand on TF2 and lowered the contrast? Sound: This is actually pretty good, but I'm not one to break a complaining streak, so WHY the hell must the air be filled with cries of Middle Eastern martyrs, while the Americans are nice and well behaved? It's racist, that's what it is.

So it's racist because it's realistic?

ya... it still have issues of BC1 but it has the fun of the BC1 too... the mute thing annoy me alot. the base spawn is bad also... but overall i think DICE is in the right path!

It's good, better than Modern Warfare 2.

Please ignore that post, it was written while I was in a bit of a rage.

Besides, they're Russian, not Middle Eastern. And the Americans do swear a bit, but they are noticeably quieter than the Russians for some odd reason.

IDK, I can't get into it for some reason. I dislike the first part of the map; it's sniper heaven there.

Hey who's that guy I played with that was only interested in leveling all buildings in town lol?
