This is a very good game that does not need too much changing really. a lot of feedback comes along the lines of make my favourite gun/vehicle more powerful so I can pawn like I used to on another title. There also seems to be complaints over things where it is due to 'recognition' where what you see is not what the server sees, this will always happen on online multiplayer games and while it is extremely frustrating (busted a mouse last year because of the rage) it has to be expected. This might be improved slightly if there was the ability to select servers which I feel is the area many long term players of the franchise have felt frustrated with. This means that you are playing with people from around the world which can be good sometimes but, and I am not tech enough to really know,but has to cause some latency issues and recog problems.Secondly the overseas players unless you have filled your squad from your friends list sometimes dont speak your language so the forced teamplay that this game induces sometimes you are listening to a squad of people that you dont understand or dont understand you. Turning the volume down can stop the clatter but it also stops you from hearing the sound of footsteps,grenades or ricocheting bullets that sometimes can mean the difference between staying alive or choosing your next respawn point. Thirdly this means having to play a roster of maps. I am sure as evidenced for example on BF2 with strike at karkand where 64 people would be on constantly playing the same map happily for hours. This may not be able to be added to this game but I hope you don't forget to add it to any more of your titles as it was definitely a much loved feature of the franchise by many.
The other point of frustration is over the wildcards.(badges and patches are hard but ok) I am sure that it is possible for a handful of people to obtain every wildcard through normal play due to their skill, although the jury is still out on the best squad one where most are saying it is glitched. However I feel and I am not alone in this, that the high values set for some of these wildcards leads to boosting and worse. Aswell they are frustrating when you are trying to acheive them in the helicopter and the game freezes or doesn't register the kills as is with the Mi28(take this as a warning do not go for chopper chopper in the Mi28 as I did last night-damn)
12 grenades is my max so far after a week of trying-this might be possible but if i get it, it will be a fluke, it feels like trying to play basketball on a minefield
5 helis in a round last night but 3 in the Mi28 so back to the drawing board,
37 kills is my best round I remember about 2 weeks ago since then a few mid 20s is about it-
5 in 2 sec is acheivable, a mate says he fluked it with a c4 trail but I have doubts I will be that lucky
20 headshots will be tough for me but I am sure there are people good enough to do this without boosting
50 saviour badges- had 1 before patch now only up to 5 although have been going for other things so it could be possible for me
20 squad spawns on me was the most frustrating 4 days I ever had although I did the stupidest victory dance when I got it
I have been a proud non leet player to get the amount of awards I have so far through persistance and sometimes patience. They have made me try to
change standard ways that I would normally go about things and adapt and learn is a core element to this game. BUT the trophy system new to PS3 and apparently on xbox for a while now means that most people want attainable trophies for them not just a small few, who have the leaderboards, if they really are the leet, to stand tall from.
