Bazajaytee · 15-07-2010, 09:21 AM

).

Issues that we know are a pain and are looking into:

VoIP
Insignia bug (no requirement for SPECACT)

Tweak Laguna Alta CQ spawns so that you cant camp them.

Did i mention New Maps?

streetmagix · 15-07-2010, 09:27 AM

- Auto login / soldier select.
- Integration with Steamworks or GFWL?
And another one :
- Save games and favorite servers stored in the cloud?

tauri12345 · 15-07-2010, 09:29 AM

NEW Maps - not just new gamemodes for old maps

johnny5_stayaliv · 15-07-2010, 09:29 AM

Server rubber banding. This must be an inherant issue, my game provider swears they are using awesome servers.

Some serious moonwalking here on aussie servers.

Timelord-RwE · 15-07-2010, 09:29 AM

Wants:
New maps, not only new modes. A cool city map like Kharkand

Bugs:
The 'Reload' text in the middle of the screen.

NAMLegolas · 15-07-2010, 09:31 AM

Want:
Yeh remove revive invulnerability.
I don't want my helicopter to flip out out control when I slowly land to repair :\ ( Better Helicopter handling? )
Big city map with lots of destructible walls and buildings, think of "Karkand 2".

The following two might annoy a bit, but must mention them:
Mod support. (I know I know, But we got nothing to loose for asking, don't kill me please

)
"Officially" release server files so we can host our servers! ( And let us tweak them! )

Untraceable vehicles by rockets inside smokescreens (I think it's already in the game or saw it announced but I haven't seen it work. It only un-spots which is awesome!)
Big open maps with lots of vehicles and helicopters. Isn't that was the good old Battlefield is about?

Notes:
I haven't been able to save my helicopter from tracers with the "Smoke ability" for vehicles.

Dear reader.
None of the above forms part a rant or anything like it, I am pretty happy with where the game is at right now.
Cheers!

Update:

x2 x4 scopes for G3 and M14!
I know they exist because I've seen them in the promo videos Noken makes.

Update 2:
Another want:
Connect Servers BY IP!!!!

And also to show the IP/Name of the servers when pressing TAB or ESC?

Oh that list sounds like BC2 on steroids!
or BF2 on frostbite :P

Update 3:
Iron sights for Shotguns, Tracer pistol, stationary/mounted guns. Would totally make hardcore better and would give much better quality to the game.

Animal_Chin_AU · 15-07-2010, 09:31 AM

Issues:

Delay in patches compared to consoles.
Lack of maps.

Wants:

More maps and/or mod tools so public can create maps
Better use of PC - i.e. bigger servers/maps, not just what works on all platforms
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.... find out what it means to me.... sorry getting a bit carried away

Seronx · 15-07-2010, 09:32 AM

Wants: Evil Bazajaytee Bots

That sometimes invade empty servers till 12 players join a server

mike101102 · 15-07-2010, 09:33 AM

Biggest issue? Not having any new content. Sure you unlock new maps to new game modes, but most of them barely last long. Let us hope a NEW map will be released or at least some content between now and BF Vietnam. Oh wait, just as I posted this you added new maps to your list, sorry.

How about an auto-login feature?

And please stop making AA guns make your chopper do back flips, it is pointless to fly on Atacama Desert now.

I know it probably isn't possible at this stage of the game, but mods would be nice

The helicopters indeed need more power, since the handling is fine imo.

Astic0 · 15-07-2010, 09:33 AM

New maps

Autologin, soldier select would be nice

No SPECACT really (or free)... but achivment for all bronze weapon should work without this DLC.

Animal_Chin_AU · 15-07-2010, 09:34 AM

One more thing.... more regular Punkbuster updates.... while many are getting banned everyday, we still see a lot of obvious cheats not being caught....

I know this is up to EvenBalance ultimately, maybe some more assistance or co-operation with them could help.

Rambo-16AAB · 15-07-2010, 09:34 AM

New Maps (maps not modes) x20 ( im hopefull )

Maps, yes
Maps, yes
Maps, yes
Rank cap, too much work on their end, not really worth the effort (although would be good, i'm 150k from 50)
Car radios, yes, 1000x yes, I played BC1 a few days back, I miss the radio.

I for the life of me, can't remember which map Laguna Alta is, but spawncamping is a possible issue on all maps, just make the uncaps death zones, make people work harder for their stolen vehicles

Some air heavy maps would be nice (1 attack, 2 transport at least), tanks are boring and slow

The most glaring issues for me have already been mentioned, AT4 and blue chatbox thing. A fix for VOIP wouldn't hurt.

Also, make Kalms King of Sweden

EDIT: Also, it would be nice if we could reload vehicle weapons like the APC cannon, right now, you have to fire all 8(?) shells to reload the gun and get your next 8(?), same with choppers. The biggest problem I have with this is the gunner position in the Apache/Havok which makes chopper vs chopper fights tedious

Psychedel1c · 15-07-2010, 09:35 AM

NEW maps, SPECACT, Autologin.

mxmstrnl · 15-07-2010, 09:37 AM

Stats for new Weapons and Vehicles would be good. Integration into the currant Light Vehicle stats and Stationary Weapons.

Dogflaps · 15-07-2010, 09:39 AM

When I exit a game it would be great if it went straight back to the server browser screen I was originally on rather than right back 'home'.
Can't think of anything else. Cheers.

thoranjafar · 15-07-2010, 09:39 AM

More air fights. Its boring to fight 1on1 and then win after 10 seconds. We need real airfight maps. 4 or more helis on each side and a greater max altitude. Most of the time it feels like hovering just above the ground when you compare BC2 to BF2142 or other real BFs. I know BC2 isnt a propper BF but please give us an air combat map.

thedaan12 · 15-07-2010, 09:40 AM

-some city maps cause those are the most fun.
-big conquest maps (the arica harbor cq is my new favourite map and i wanted that since beta)
-red dot sight for m14, no 4x zoom needed

ubrytybtyd · 15-07-2010, 09:40 AM

spot assist and kill assist stats.

Smoke perk for choppers or better flares.

Smaller arica harbor map in sqdm.(16ppl 30 houses = camp = boring )

SirUruk · 15-07-2010, 09:41 AM

Wants:
- New Maps
- More new maps

- New maps should be really big Conquest-Maps. Like Port Valdez.

- More ranks
- car radios
- some new weapons (perhaps for the new higher ranks) like the G36, Famas, and so on...

Just give something out you have to play really a long, long time for, so you always stay focused.

- If possible a battlerecorder to make some really epic movies.

GamerOfFreedom · 15-07-2010, 09:42 AM

Increase in chopper rockets damage/splash area

Battlerecorder and spectator mode

charliesays · 15-07-2010, 09:46 AM

- last 2 insignias
- last 2 insignias
- stars for kills with smoke/repair tool
- maybe M1 Bayonet

Jultis · 15-07-2010, 09:46 AM

Choppers and AA:

* The russian chopper landing abilities is far worse that the apache. Can almost crashland the apache and still end up on your wheels. The RU chopper will flip if the ground is even slightly inclined.

* I dont understand why the AA guns have the capability to flip a chopper midair. First time I tried the VSAD against the hind on atacama rulalalala looked like I hit it with a tornado or something.
The AA guns does quite enough dmg to the choppers as it is. Taking half a burst in the tail, shouldnt immediatly throw you in a forward front flip.

* Lift power. The new handling is awesome, but still miss some more lift power. Not talking about a freeking jetengine underneath, just a slight adjustment.

* RU chopper brightness. Did this get fixed? I didnt see any change to this. My settings are the same as pre-patch.

Edit: Also the fact that friendly AA and rockets will flip your chopper is very annoying.
