Oh... and another thing... note, this is feedback... I'm not moaning (honest!)

When you're driving a light tank or hummer on your own (NOTE: 'on your own' ie - you are the only person in the vehicle!) the toggling between seats needs to be altered. For example, in the light tank, you're thundering along and suddenly a dude pops out from behind a bush with a rocket launcher... you try to take him down with a few blasts from the main gun, but because the splash damage is so low you switch to the machine gun... you kill him ! woo hoo! But now you've got an enemy tank approaching and you need to either move out, or fire from the main gun again (or both!)... BUT, you have to toggle through 2 other positions before you get back to the driver's seat again??!! Which might not sound like much, but it does make a difference!
Simply put, you just don't need to toggle to those other seats when you're in a light tank/Hummer on your own... those split seconds leave you very exposed and vulnerable.

EA/DICE,
Please fix this pile of laggy ****! This is by far the laggiest game I have played including years on the 56k dial up in my PC days! This game took you 3 years, then what the **** was you doing in that time? Please put UK only servers up, as I am fed up to the teeth of shooting a foreign plonker 50 or so bullets with an M60 for them to shoot me in 2-6 ***? I won't be recommending this pile of **** to anyone soon unless it is serverly worked on! I have 6meg line which is more than enough to play online gaming so it isn't my end!

Here we go... another moan...

This glitch relates to the 'window glitch' where you can't shoot through the open space where a window once was...

I've had numerous times where, as a Support guy, I'd find a relatively safe position hiding in some undergrowth or a bush, with a clear view of an enemy strong-hold/building and decide to call in a mortar strike using the little mobile GPS thing. I'd make sure that I have a clear view with no leaves in the way, and put the little crosshair/dot on my intended target and call the mortar strike...

However, when the mortars come in, they land right on top of me and I blow myself up!!?? ***??!!

It's as if the 'targeting detect algorithms' in the code are not seeing beyond the 'inside' of the bush that I'm hiding in. I've had this happen so many times that I've learned to adjust my position so that my field of vision only has a few leaves around the edge of the screen, and I have a very clear, unobscured view of my target... but the same thing happens. Ridiculous!
I'm beginning to wonder if there were any beta testers on this game at all! These kind of glitches are something I'd expect from an early-run beta version, NOT a game that's released into the stores that we have to pay full-price for.

I'm beginning to suspect that any patches and updates that might be released in the near future will never be able to resolve the myriad of issues that surround this incomplete game.

Sure... the game looks and sounds wonderful, but if it plays like a donkey, visuals and audio don't mean anything. I have a feeling that I'll be exchanging this game sometime soon.
Hopefully Killzone2 will provide me with the gaming experience I'm searching for.

Curb,
You don't have to apologise for your opinion and complaints about the game! We all have a right to express our views after paying £39.99 of our hard earned cash for this pile of unfinished ****!

i know this has been bought up before but i experienced it for the first time last night. I had a squad of 4 and in the 3 hours i was on we never got to play on the same squad and/or side.
waited for the game to finish and still it split us up, went and set up a new squad etc etc and no joy...im not a fan of this 4 in a squad only and even bloody less now we cant even get 4 in!!!

I can't believe this thread. Every time you check this thread, more bugs have been found.

Absolute **** EA.

Gonna trade this in while it holds it's value and get Too Human when it comes out.

Okay, so one of the most satisfying feelings in the game is sneaking up behind a dude and slashing his neck, instant kill, the 'ker-chink' of his dog tag etc... brilliant!

BUT! One of the most frustrating things about the game is when you burst into a room, gun blasting (accurately!) and the enemy dude runs towards you, into your stream of bullets which seem to have very little effect, and he kills you with one swipe of his knife! Grrr! It happens very often! Talk about unbalanced.

Consider this... if you approach somebody from behind, or from outside their 'field of vision', you get an instant kill with the knife... if you approach somebody from the front, within their field of vision, it takes 2 swipes to kill with the knife?

Or something along those lines... anything to shift the balance.
If you double tap Y on the xbox really fast you get two instant swipes with the knife in under a second. Same speed as one swipe really as the second one is instant.

I hear ya, I'm almost there myself.
I log into the game, no one on my team speaks, no one event attempts to work as a team, can't communicate with teammates other than my lame squad, spoiled little ****** kills me when I'm on the arty because his mommy didn't teach him how to share, can't ask the guy next to me for a health pack, still can't link my gamertag to EA account, can't check stats online.
Then I play for a bit, 1/3 of my close quarters shotgun blasts seem to pass through enemies without doing any damage, guy with a knife kills me with little effort even though I'm pumping lead into his cranium, bullets don't pass through the gigantic hole in the wall I just created, Humvee drives slower than I can sprint, I have to watch how many knife kills I perform so I don't get hit with yet another lag bug, EA takes down the servers without telling anyone, teammate runs into my slow moving Humvee and I get the tk, can't play with friends whom I invited to my squad for 1st round (which can take up to 1.5 hours if you have to play both sides), etc...
The amount of bugs and horrible design decisions in this game is astounding. I'm not sure I will last until Conquest and/or the first patch hits.

assign vocal commands to the left and right dpad directions mainly for health as i am at the end of my tether with lalalala that go support and don't give you health when you clearly have a damn green + above your head and you show on the map as a big yellow + also your asking the ones on your team and they just don't listen.

so what i am looking for is away to shout out you need health when next to some one so they hear it through there tv this way they would be more likely to help you by giving health.

also fix the damn bug with close range shooting i was my NS2000 and i ran up the stairs and the guy that was a foot in front of me was in the animation for throwing a grenade and i shot him square in the chest and it done **** all and his team m8 just turned and shot the **** out of me.

this has happened loads of times it seems to be when there in the middle of a set animation ie throwing a grenade or crouching then standing example i ran round a corner to find a guy crouched again i was my NS2000 and i shot him in the top half of the chest (head and neck) nothing he was going from crouch to standing as i shot and then as loaded the next shot he knifed me.

apart from this the game is great best game in a long time.

As much as I love this game I am starting to really lose my temper with it, first problem is the mic, after 3 seconds of the game starting it cuts out. Secondly and most importantly is the game’s freezing issue, every second round I start the games freezes every 10 seconds. I am really REALLY disappointed with EA this time, this game would be awesome if it wasn’t for the issues, I am on the verge of asking for a full refund off EA as online is almost unplayable and obviously this is a faulty game.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us know when the patch is going to be released or I feel I will have to contact trading standards and I know I have a case as I have done this before with another franchise (not naming names).

Default night map's

Would be good to see a map in night time, my personal fav for this would be harvest day because of the tank battle's that go on there, there are other map's that could be considerd but this is taylor made for it.

Reson i think it would be cool on this map is, if you start as attacker, to get from your base to the first set of gold create's there's like a gully i like to call no man's land (",) wich is where you see the tank shell's and gun fire rounds whizz over head, thank's to the first set of create's being slightly higher in altitude to the main base.

Thought's people?

you shouldnt be going gun hoe all the time...get someone else in the car or even 3 as intended and you worry about driving and let your team worry about the killing...hate people taking the tanks/cars/heli's ect and not waiting for someone to hop in...and the annoying thing is you watch em go so far then whack they get killed.........wots the point

EDIT: Never mind though's. looking at other "feedback" i see it's full of non constructive comment's....

i agree with you on the night time thing sounds like an absolute blast, bit like bog on cod 4 one of my fav maps for this reason.

and in my opinion there are some constructive comments on here, the only reason there is sooooooooooo much negativity is that the questions arent being answered...i run a business and if i kept ignoring my staffs feedback/requests, (after asking for it!) i would have no staff. or a mutiny would be brewing.

day 17 in the big battlefield house.

goodman is hiding in the toilet and refuses to come out, the rest of the ea staff have done a bunk over the wall and all the users are left wandering around not knowing what to do, which is made more difficult because they seem to not be able to all comunicate at the same time....


haggard goes into the diary room...

"big bf, big bf are you there?????"

no answer yet again, the only sound you can hear is another group of 4 people trying to blow the door to the diary room as they cant get in and dont realise that there is someone allready in there.

Some very cool post and replies. Being a new game engine, i would have thought EA and Dice be working hard with all issues?
If other games company`s want to use it and should IMO. They better get there acts together and listen HARD. I to myself, is suprized no one is replying to your Questions??
We the Gamers find the faults and no one or nobody is doing anything?
It truly is a ground breaking Engine (Like when Unreal came out) and that has gone from strenth 2 strenth... Wow!

Anyway i do truly love the game and have lots of thoughts, but most Questioned and answered here.
