Ah you should give it a chance. I just had a great game there a while ago. Defending the last objective while theres tons of enemies parachuting in is a good kind of mayhem.

It much more fun when theres a medic to revive you so you don't have to respawn miles from the action. Cheers to GothPunk who brought me back to life about 10 times.

You select your grenades with L2 then throw them the same way you fire (with R1)

Haha rubbing it in...good one
Thanks, now finally i can blow my own teammates up.

I dont know what to do with that

It would be like paying into the cinema and leaving after the 20th century fox logo comes up saying its a crap film.

My main gripes are with the aiming and how exposed shooting leaves you.

I've had 4 different X's flash on my screen indicating hits on a target and they've gotten away, or i've unloaded a full clip and not even hit them once, it just feels so sloppy.

You don't even get an assist if they manage to heal in cover, and then from shooting your exposed on the map to people who wouldn't av seen you otherwise

If they at least changed one of those two things it would be fine, i could handle the shoddy aiming if my location wasnt revealed, and i'm not talking about the dot on the radar i mean how a nice,easy to see marker places over your head to accompany the radar blip, so even if you got the kill, any enemies near by know exactly where you are.

I've always hated games with overhead markers and radar blips, that's what i loved about SOCOM, you had to use your eyes to see them, and even COD has this spot on, all they lowered to were blips which can be taken away with perks.

Also need to improve the friendlies markers, they don't show up a lot, when your close up etc.... so many team kills happen, you'd think they'd do away with friendly fire at any rate

Was reading an interesting article there the other day which I think is relevant, which is slightly offtopic... actually I'm going to start a new thread on it

Yeah it is rather rubbish that that is in the game. I mean you go to your loadout menu and there are all types of camo, which are pretty much useless as the enemy can just highlight you with his reticule and a red triangle appears over your head.

It should be based more on muzzle flashes and enemy fire sound echos on your HUD map that give only an approximate location.

God damn snipers is all I can say, get me every time...I love the game though and is a definite purchase...Level 32 now, going to p1ss me off going back over it again when the full game out....Or will I still be level 32?

That cartoon is classic

The aiming was off for me too untill i spent my skill points on sights and grips for the guns. The heavy gun in paticular when you look down the barrel normally thats not actually where the bullets end up. you need to aim a bit lower. Using different guns from different ranges will also affect your power no point aiming at guy in te distance with the assault rifle.

I wonder if there are perks to hide your location from the radars i must have a look again.

Lots annoyed me at the start but the more you play the better you understand it. Using cover is very important getting the high ground as well.

I'm not the biggest fan, but I came to that conclusion after an hour of playing - not four minutes. Here's a fact:

You can't judge a game on four minutes of playing it.
