forgot to also mention sound drop outs and occasional game crashes (normally happens when attacking at the final base for me)

Guessing you're gaming on the PS3?? You see, on the 360, we have an on/off switch built into the mic, along with a volume control for hearing the team/screaming kids!!

So yes, I'd love full team support, but for me on the 360, to mute/turn down the sound, I only need use the slider/dial to do so.

I can't create a squad with my friends, I hope I can in full game.. Like many others, I think you should be protected when sitting in arty.. Perhaps like you were in the AA gun on the hangar ship in BF2??

I also have big problems with the sound. When the sounds get many and loud, it scraches a little, and it's not my Home Cinema because i don't experience thin in any other game.. And to my biggest issue: I experience this at least once a day.. When playing for a while the sound in the game is replaced by a constant noise. When this happens i mute the sound until I have played the round, then I close the game, and the sound is back to normal.. Anyone else experience this?

The settings you make should me saved, i have to reduce sensitivity everytime i start the game.

I also think the rate of fire on the snipers are a litte to low.. But if you are able to reload faster as you rise through the ranks, then thats cool..

When playing goldrush there should be a bonus if you win the round.. It doesn't really matter if you win or loose as it is.. The bonus should reflect how big your victory was..

Besides these things, I love this game, and are having a lot of fun playing it.. I think the servers are running great, and the stats update really fast.

btw I play on the PS3

Yeah i get that sound problem, like interference (crackly, scratchy like you said lol!).

Good idea about the arty btw!

Saving the settings for the sensitivity etc is also good, its only a small problem but many a time ive gone into battle then realised i haven't lowered my sens down lol!

he meant a mute ingame so he can mute only 1 people and still can here the others.

also they need to build in a function to talk to the whole game and not only to ur sqaud. squads can work but not if the comms are like this bcus u cant talk with other squads about tactics ingame and that is messing up clanwars, and its really annoying when u join a game of a friend and u end up in another squad, u cant talk with him!

also i find the chopper a bit to weak bcus u cant get out of the damn thing. when some1 shot it and it goes spinning and ur 1 cm above the ground u still cant get out of it .. its ridiculous. that really need to be changed.

and a good clansupport like BFMC would be really great!

and the score boosters are really a big problem they are messing up the leaderboards.

i liked the system with PPU on BFMC bcus u need to play well to hold on ur high rank. it gives u a better idea about how the people are playing.

i would like to see how much of each vehicle u destroyed...(dont know if thats gonna be on the scoreboard but i like the option to c it)

i have an ps3 btw.

LOVE IT. cant wait to play the full game. The classes seems well balanced, the sniper should not kill in one shot (only if headshot)! maybe the specialist class is slightly underpowered.

The grenades need a meter, it is impossible to hit something, specially if you want to hit someone on a roof, and thats when grenades are most usefull, not to kill a guy long way in front of you.

And the d-pad could been used for commands like "stay togehter" and so on, there is not much team work atm.

Add quick access to score list displaying points as well as K/D while in-game.

Add quick access to a tactical map (think D-PAD in BF2:MC), but don't lock out game movements.

Fix physics that prevent player getting stuck walking up steep slopes.

Speed up jeeps, and let them roll when you exit (for car bomb purposes).

Remove red effect on out-of-bounds timer and/or increase it to 7 seconds.

Add vote-to-kick system.

Add proper spectator mode, allowing you to follow a player and see exactly what they see.

Let helicopter pilot see the gunner's camera.

Draw distance for friendly troop icon needs to be greater. In the helicopter they can look like enemy.

Let players shoot/snipe people inside of helicopters/jeeps.

Let players save their favourite class/kit (incl. gun).

Add clan support.

Add close-quarters voice comms, if team-talk is not going to be supported.

Add the names of people inside vehicles with you.

Stop people spawning inside the driver seat of vehicles (to stop them stealing it).

Remove yellow icon that shows where enemy mines are.

Remove whistling sound (as part of dialogue). Annoys a lot of players.

Let players choose which squad person to spawn on.

The primary weapon (30mm gun) on the Kamov-52 jumps about when aiming up shots. Didn't used to happen in the beta.

I agree that you should be able to mute specific players (like 10 year old boys screaming all the time).. I also like the idea of talkin to the whole team, or perhaps you could chose which squads you wanted to talk to.

And like many others say, being able to "say" thing.. like: requesting pickup, need medic etc..

For all these new things we all hope are being added you could use some of arrow buttons, that are not being used as it is..

Can't wait for the full game..

btw. unlike Ostemad, i do think that the sniper should be as deadly as it is now.. Come on, we are playing with joypadlalalalaing heads on guys running across screen 300 ft away is insane.

At ConsoleGaming.eu we made a compilation of bugs/requests on BF:BC.
Lot of people worked together with this, because we thought that if everyone would say something about the problems of this game, the chances are higher for EA/DICE to fix them. Here goes:


Fix the bullet lag! When you get shot at by the enemy, and you run behind a wall, your life still gets drained, while there is no possibility that he shot you through the wall.



- Slow down the artillery reload to 2,5mins.
- Allow you to pick which squad, NOT TEAMS.
- Vote team killer option could be good but it didn't really get effective on BF:MC because people only voted if they got TK'd.

Solution^?: a vote casted on a player with a minus score counts double/1.5 so that you don't need the full team to vote.


- Option to join a certain squad before the game starts, instead of being put in one.
- Faster Humvees/Desert Patrol Vehicles.


- Less damage taken when shot by team-mates.
- Clan support
*VERY IMPORTANT*

- Team Speak, instead of squad speak. *VERY IMPORTANT*

Hi

you might find this useful

vechiles

choppers - increase the damage on the FFAR's. another thing dont no what other chopers are going 2 be in the full game but if theres no chutes u might consider adding ropes 2 the black hawks other transport helo's .

Tanks - consider adding a zoom on the 120mm would be cool . increase the radius for smoke so them pesky snipers cant lazer target so easy.

jeeps - need to be faster

arty - 3+ minute reload time

On foot

bullet damage / lag - needs 2 be sorted

squad spawns - option 2 flick through avaliable squad mates.

command system - would be really helpful 2 get the attention of support e,t,c could be easily assigned 2 the depad.

pop up map - need 2 be able 2 pull up a map while on the move instead of going to the start menu.

C4 - why cant we throw it

rockets - a bit 2 weak ive seen jeeps take a rocket and drive on like nothings happend so u can imagine what its like against a tank.

rate of fire - would make the world of difference when engaging an enemy in the distance. PLZ consider this

thats all i can think of at the mo may post more later

Comms are messed and IMO this game need a clan system just like in Modern Combat. It was just perfect and made game much more funnier.

Tnx.

I really like Fonz' idea of the ropes, it doesn't matter that the pilot dies, but if you could only get out as a passenger that'd add so much more to the tactics people will use.

Tanks - consider adding a zoom on the 120mm would be cool . increase the radius for smoke so them pesky snipers cant lazer target so easy.
It's a nice idea to add some zoom, sometimes it's so hard to see other tanks.

jeeps - need to be faster
The speed they have at the moment is horrible. They're almost as quick as tanks

arty - 3+ minute reload time
3 Minutes might be a bit long, but a longer reload time is a must. Might as well make them a bit more powerful, or have a bigger reach, imo.

On foot

bullet damage / lag - needs 2 be sorted
Getting shot around corners and people not dying after a clip, it's getting so annoying. Fix it, please.

squad spawns - option 2 flick through avaliable squad mates.

It's stupid that you can't change the squad mate if you're stuck on spawning with a sniper

command system - would be really helpful 2 get the attention of support e,t,c could be easily assigned 2 the depad.

If I'm a Spec ops and see someone who can heal me, I'll have to shoot him before he turns around: it's not fun for him and it's not fun for me too (as I'll die if he doesn't heal me.. )

pop up map - need 2 be able 2 pull up a map while on the move instead of going to the start menu.

C4 - why cant we throw it
Don't have the C4, but it's kind of worrying that you can't throw it.

rockets - a bit 2 weak ive seen jeeps take a rocket and drive on like nothings happend so u can imagine what its like against a tank.
Agree with Fonz, one rocket should take a jeep down.

rate of fire - would make the world of difference when engaging an enemy in the distance. PLZ consider this
Especially the sniper ROF, imo.

thats all i can think of at the mo may post more later
Fonz summed it up for me, really. Underlined feedback above is my 'most wanted'. Italic underneath the underlined = my thoughts.

Also, once a base is destroyed on Gold Rush, everything available blows up. This means that once there's a squad member you have to spawn with at one of the destroyed bases you'll have to walk across the whole map to get in the battle again. So maybe you could add, say one, jeep or humvee to each destroyed base?

And the shotgun range is kind of long. One shot kills over quite some distance. Don't think it should be THAT effective. If you could only make the damage a little less over the distance, it'd be so much better!

COMMENTS

About the sniper being too slow reload etc, that balances it a bit. Because usually when you hit they dont die they go to 10hp so that time gives them time to get away. Anyway, sniper doesnt need more damage, the shot can fire through a bush and then a door and kill. However, i think the pistols do a little to much damage, as they can easily out shoot an M16 if you are found close range.

The person who mentioned being able to see your gunners view, just look on your helicopter. If you are in first person in the attacker heli then you can see the little camera moving, don't know about defender.

Have other people noticed that the defending team often just ignore the crates and play a deathmatch game, which means it becomes almost impossible to defend successfully.

Tips for heli pilots - Fly high all the time, makes it hard to be hit. Only swoop down for hits on tanks etc but stay high enough so that you missiles stay accurate.
-If you have a gunner (US heli) stay high and try to not move. This lets your gunna shoot and get lots of kills and be more effective. Move every now and then for other angles to shock enemy. You are vunerable to rockets liek this, but they never really fire them at you as they dont realise who it is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISSUES

Heli issue as well, when you go really high and then try to go higher with the up-down not throttle the heli shakes and goes all horizontal.

The wood window needs fixing.

Can begin sprinting in mid-air.

Ability to get in turrets etc on roofs when you stand near them in a certian spot, espcially farm above case 1.

Ability to set charge through walls when they havnt been blow up, and often through windows.

Shotgun damage far to high at range.

Rockets need to do more damage and also (if realistic) have more splash damage.
Same with heli rockets.

Floating objects after lots of deep craters. Some building do it, a container at farm does it. And fences and walls often do it. More annoyingly tree stumps float after craters a lot.

Found some floating trees once over near the farm bridge.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITIONS

Team chat

Clan support. i.e large partys and prefix

Squad choosing

Squad orders - for when conquest mode is released. i.e attack, defend, move, repair
Maybe even a commander for conquest

Map, so people can be seen and orders given.

Call for medic and and repair more than once. And see more clearly as support who needs healing and repairing. Also, like BF2 and BF2142 get told what they medic box and screwdriver do when you first use them (don't know if it will do this in full game)

D-Pad Left - Call for Medic
D-Pad Right - Call for Repair
D-Pad Down - Map
D-Pad Up - Cycle, team-squad-(commander?) chat

(is the d-pad even used?)

When you are low in health change the bar from blue to red, having your name and the bar in blue is what is making me not get health from my team m8's. If its red then they can see that you need a med pack.

I think you should have a big Red Cross over your head is you need health, and i think we should be able to shout for health by pressing up on the dpad

I hope they make some sort of Comma Rose on the D pad.
Something like this.

Up = Spotted (Tell what kind when the cross-hairs are on the target; and when cross-hairs are not on a target it could say Enemy Spotted or something like that. Also showing on the radar the location of the things spotted.)
Down = Medic
Right = Resupply
Left = Repairs

Something like that. I am actually surprised that they do not have it already.
Yet I have seen something that says that I have spotted things. It usually happens on it own though. Never really figured out how I spotted something.

U spot enemys by aiming at them with your crosshairs
There isnt a resupply btw, maybe that could be, 'follow me' or something?

People would end up tk'ing you, what with the other teams bars being red/orange.

i think the below idea of a medipack logo hovering above your head would be good, though would it be easy for newer players to work out if they are a medic or in need of a medic?
