Its a nightmare keeping spring depressed all the time. also its going to break my PS3 controller very quickly!

Yes, Ive never liked that. Much better to map it to a different button surely.

Hmm let's see.

Played the demo.

Loved it.

Brought the game, clocked single player twice - got all achievements out of sp.

Looking forward to playing multiplayer...

Searching games just finds games in progress that have players with 500+ points already.

Now for the biggest problem. LAG.

What the hell is wrong with this game!?

My connection is fine, it's 20mb with OPEN NAT settings unlike mainy idiots out there.

Yet it is impossible to play a match without getting a major headache. It gets very tidious fast when your trying to run somewhere to be dragged back, to run in the intended direction again. It's like a big game of tug of war.

On the odd occassion you'll see an enemy to put about 300 bullets in them before they die. They sometimes even give up on shooting, and even though it appears as if they are about 10ft away they can still stab you, thanks to the wonders of lag & latency.

I must of joined 20 games today to only encounter lag on every single game. Quitting out of each one just to find a stable game to of course, no surprise I had no results.

I stayed in a few games for a while to only see my stats say:

3 kills
3 deaths
16 pts per minute
& ***? 2% accuracy!?!?

Yeah that's just how lagtastic it was.

If I want to play a laggy game, I would go play Call of Duty 4 or R6V2 against our colonial cousins.

Sort it out EA!!

Thanks for your feedback everyone, it's very much appreciated

Although with this post we addressed the main, BIG concerns that were being raised, we're aware of the "smaller" points as well.
All of these points are on the table as we look into what might go into a future patch.

We also realise that although overall network stability has greatly increased, some players still experience more lag at times than they should. We'll continously be looking into ways to improve this.

The game has been out for 2 weeks. LAG is still a problem. It should have been fixed by now. Also, the mics are useless. Fix the damn game.

vegasshady · 09-07-2008, 05:27 AM

It would be nice if you could go prone, maybe a double click of the crouch button? will there be map making tools? the BF series has always been great with the player created maps, It would be nice to be able to make maps for BF:BC also. What is a BF game without the Mod tools? also the 5 second out of bounds needs some tweaking, especially for vehicles. in a chopper 5 seconds is insta-death.

Next-Gen-Gamer · 09-07-2008, 05:33 AM

one MAJORLY ANNOYING problem is the voice chat almost never works that really needs to be fixed DICE and also on a side not open up the maps a littl bit for the Conquest mode so they aren't so narrow

FORGET going prone! We DON'T need that!

Although I do agree the out of bounds timer defiantly needs tweaking!

A few seconds of spawn armour at base spawns (not squad) would be nice too!

OggieT · 09-07-2008, 12:54 PM

is there any sort of news regarding conquest/patch ???

Mski · 09-07-2008, 01:26 PM

Great work on resetting the cheating scum!

With my earlier rant on connection issues , crazy lag , and frame rate issues. I tried again this morning, game was running smooth up until I gave into temptation. Chased a guy down and whipped out the trusty knife. As soon as I got the dog dag, WHAM! That blasted frame skip thing, skippy screen is back! A pal is still suffering from crazy lag after 10-15 minutes of play though.

Any word of when this could be fixed, or if this is one of the big issues they are addressing now, would be fantastic.

I better stay off the knife! If I want to keep that smooth frame rate!

vegasshady · 10-07-2008, 04:35 AM

possibility of making FF being able to be turned off. I'm tired of getting killed by a teammate because they want on arty especially when I'm coordinating with my squad on were they need arty.

nothing says teamwork like a ff to the back of your head

OggieT · 10-07-2008, 10:16 AM

Is there any sort of timeline that EA/DICE have regarding release of the patch or is it still in process of completion

randmanq · 10-07-2008, 10:38 AM

they are very vague in their answers

w1shface · 10-07-2008, 06:10 PM

I don't understand why game companies are so reticent to keep players in the loop regarding these things. I don't understand it at all. No one expects them to make promises they can't keep, but regular updates regarding something that was promised weeks ago that the game was also sold on (at least afaic) are not imo unreasonable requests.

vegasshady · 11-07-2008, 07:39 AM

is there any chance of making the ace combat 6 flightstick compatible with Bad Company, or the new hawx flight stick? It would be a great feature for pilots. and will conquest introduce any jets into the game, or slicks such as the blackhawk for rapid troop movement? It would be nice to see a large map like wake island or el alamein in the game.

Burnout DLC will have absolutely no impact on Battlefield patches..

The 2 games are made by completely different companies.

Kazoturkey · 11-07-2008, 03:08 PM

Will this fix the issue with noone under the age of 18 being able to play online? Will you fix that on ANY of your games?

B3liskn3r · 11-07-2008, 03:39 PM

i think the game is wikid i wouldn't make too many changes to it myself apart from the game modes. there is not a variety of games, its just gold rush. But gold rush is a good idea, its just just gold rush it is a bit boring after a while. Now conquest is on the way thats good too but i would like to see more game modes come out then in my opinion bfbc would be amazing, maybe a few new weapons or gadgets here and there and definatly new skins for the players because they are all similar and its hard to tell friend from foe

well done DICE/EA good game.

randmanq · 11-07-2008, 05:00 PM

i really don't think they will introduce full team chat, especially since this is such a squad oriented game. I'd like to see proximity voice, or maybe even a different system:

maybe every squad has a commander, and this commander can push to talk to the other 2 commanders of the other squads do coordinate? Then at least they would only be on a 3 person chat, and the commander could switch back and rely info to his squad. meh, just an idea

IXIVoodooIXI · 12-07-2008, 08:05 AM

I love this game to bits and will be playing it for a long time but there are a few issues,
1) Servers are unreliable at the moment, they have gone down at least twice in the last week that I have noticed, also you will be getting shot at from a long way and run behind a solid object and then drop dead a second or two later (Sometimes) and on the server note are there any plans for EU servers?

2) Lack of info, if when servers are experiencing trouble all it take is notice saying "yes we are having trouble and we are trying to sort it" rather than when you are trying to log in it saying check your network connections when all my friends are getting the same message.

3) The specialist smg's are too over powered the speed in which the kill you (non head shot) is unreal sometimes, also the range of the shotgun is unreal.

4) Sometimes the damage area of effect is well off, I was sniping yesterday and I blatantly shot one guy in the head and dint even damage him and another guy I shot in the chest and got a head shot and this has happened on numerous occasions.

These are just niggles and other than that I think the game is awesome and has really impressed me keep up the good work.
