I got in the gunner seat of a helicopter and got 2050 points and about 9 medal things

I see they've went the MW2 route of "BIGGER NUMBERS 4 KILLZ = PEOPLE LIKE GAME MORE".

Don't fool yourself, they're not going to do that.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't go back in, along with crouch toggle

I never use prawn anyway. Can they put porn in instead?

I managed to get a quick go last night using this method. You do get kind of a server browser as well, a slide-out button on the right hand side.

What I saw I liked a lot.

I don't see DICE/EA doing much besides some handwaving to convince people this is really anything but a console port, and unless console gamers clamor for a prone mode then I doubt it will be added to the PC version.

looking at the weapon unlocks, atleast 1 said something about being prone.

This is a beta, I wouldn't count on all the descriptions being 100% correct.

I like this game so far.

Having done more playing, there doesn't appear to be a huge amount wrong with the game.

Infantry combat is a bit faster than beef was, which is good, because it was crap in beef mostly.

Classes are all pretty balanced, upgrade weapons don't give a huge advantage.

Snipers don't really lose out from the no prone thing, you just have to hide better, would be nice if you could delay the action like you could in BEEF to see the shot fall easier.

All the other classes work pretty well, it's extremely easy to rack up points as the engineer/AT guy, Medic/Support gunner can cause a great deal of damage.

It's by no means perfect, but it's not terribly consoley really.

I'd like prone, a lot, and crouch toggle.

Other problems appear to be mostly server side, just needs some optimisation, and GSPs need to get the level of servers just right.

If they're that far away just aim at the head, a bit further then give it a bit more. Its the same not quite right bullet drop as beeeef. Except the 12x zoom scope, that majically makes it have no real drop, point it at them, watch them die a good mile or more away.

Post by **HereComesPete** » January 30th, 2010, 6:38

Also - Prone/crouch toggle One or the other if you can't do both please dice. I'm getting the claw sommat chronic trying to keep the buttons pressed.

Mind you I have just put a few hours in.

If they provide PC types with a b3ef that has blowy uppy everything, nice class balance like this (possibly make the sniping a bit harder, its easy) but customisable controls and multi-gpu/core support I would happily play the fuck out of it.

Its seems pretty enjoyable to me so far, except for lack of toggle crouch and prone, ohh and fire mode selector.

I'll give this another go in a minute, was getting pissed off with being dropped from servers everytime I was having a good round.

Fred Woogle · Post by **Fred Woogle** » January 30th, 2010, 11:30

never playing again, grrrrr, after another fucking awesome round, score board was broken and got no points!
