Beta gameplay comentary

Ripley · September 28, 2011 at 2:03 PM

Felix: look forward to use bipods. Its not easy at the beginning and takes a while to get used to but its really nice. Especially when going prone.

I think every move that you make in the game takes longer than in BC2 but it brings more realism into the game (if you can say that). When you knife someone its like a movie compared to BC2

So far you can play only one map where the underground part is an infantry massacre. RPG noobs everywhere. Once somebody unlocks claymores its gonna be just deadly for the attacking team.

Teamplay is essential even more than in BC2.

In beta it seems to be not possible to edit key bindings that sux. Also, you have to wait for 8 players to be able to move on the map. I dont like that. The map is not a big map like in BC2 it just zooms into the minimap, hmmm weird.

true! This beta is really promising!

What did they do to the map? Pressing M is useless!?

And here are nice HD gameplay videos.

It's not easy finding a Caspian Border server that isn't full, but it's worth the wait. I had to take a few screenshots of epic graphics:

and a mortar which apparently is not included in the beta

Ripley · September 30, 2011 at 1:42 PM

I tried so many passwords. It never worked out

Nice screenshots! I guess I will start to play conquest then

Oh btw. That Hilltree Platoon sign is not meant to be serious haha

I think if any clan member meets face to face, then we have to raise one leg pass arm underneath and shake hands with other member whispering Hilltree, this way we can be assured the other person is an OSF member.

I think Ripley will be happy to know that the claymore is in fact unlockable in the beta. The clay limit is 2 and I can only hold one at a time (takes about 10 seconds to resupply yourself with another one).

Ripley · September 30, 2011 at 8:52 PM

haha. yes indeed good to know.

I unlocked the most useless attachment ever: tactical light! Its like "I am here shoot me!"
As useless as the light in Crysis

But recons are easier to spot and its more difficult to snipe. thats good

LOLL I'm going for that next.

Ripley · October 1, 2011 at 9:18 AM

Evil you are the top heli pilot from our platoon lol
Comrade the top jet pilot

NecessaryEvil · October 1, 2011 at 3:27 PM Official Post

Wow...I feel special for some reason lol. Honestly, I was only in the heli for all of 2 minutes, but I can tell you it's probably going to get tuned down a bit because it felt overpowered if a noob like me was able to annihilate everything around me.

Ripley · October 1, 2011 at 6:28 PM

this guy "Seba096Cro" has 59005 kills and 8 deaths!?

NecessaryEvil · October 2, 2011 at 2:32 AM Official Post

Wasn't the first freeze hacker in Crysis named seba something?

Ripley · October 2, 2011 at 8:52 AM

cool I got a promotion and I am now

"Sergeant of the Master Sergeants most im portant person of extreme Sergeants to the max"

EDIT: I also unlocked the little robot haha thats so funny

What do you guys think to swapping the BFBC2 server to BF3 when it comes out?

Ripley · October 7, 2011 at 11:08 AM

I vote yes!

Has anyone ever played Caspian Border on a server without lag? First time it is worth to play conquest mode but sometimes I get almost sick from stepping over glue
