I thought there was a post of this somewhere; but, maybe lost when we updated our site.

Likes: Graphics are unreal
Guns

Dislikes: Unlocks for jets plain stupid if you don't have missles good luck; find a noob server and rank up first
Chopper underpowered takes damage way to easy
AA guns should be reduced by 50%
No queue for servers
Have to be in game to change typical main menu & cannot customize weapons in game
Game minimizes every round;
GPU running 100% all the time
Squad set up is fuckin retarted

For the most part it was enjoyable to play; but, I would be really suprised if a fraction of this stuff is fixed in a couple weeks;
 
Balls,

Squads are fixed in retail. The in-game interface will change in retail. I've seen queue's before, it's dependent on the server. GPU running at 100%? Never experienced this. C2D's are going to be fixed as far as I know. Choppers, well, hopefully they make them harder to fly.
 
The queue is there it looks like the old reserved slot system with parenthesis after the number of players for the server. For example; 64/64 (8). You can select join and then down on the lower left where it shows the game loading progress it says "Server Queue". I have yet to figure out what causes the choppers to get flipped on there sides while flying yet. I think jets were hitting me, but I could not recover from it. I really don't think we need that kind of movement in a chopper if your getting hit from bullets. I agree on the missiles killing in one shot. Every time I have played Caspian there is someone always camped out near the main base waiting for you to get up in the air. Spawning in the aircraft is cool, but will only result in the player with the best equipment (fastest computer) getting the planes first.

In the beta you could change weapons & customize in game, but you had to hit escape, go to squad/customize and do it there...all the while you're sitting still waiting to get knifed. That shit needs to go away.
 
A) they are revising the menus B) they are adding customization menu without having to spawn C) Server Que will be there as far as I know they are working on a new Que systems, I know all this cuz I was asking a shit load of questions on battlefield Facebook page and they answered
 
Huh, mine wasn't and hasn't with BC2 either; its been a little over 40% but it does average around 80c while playing at that fan speed.
 
Soulzz what do you mean C2D's? If thats core 2 duo then I doubt some kind of miracle fix. But would be nice for the few days I wont have a desktop GPU. BC2 ran like shit on the core 2 duo's and it will run like shit on every game that comes out after. Only the upper end units are playable worth a damn, still not a place you want to be.

Balls Queue's were working but flaky. Last day I played saw the queues working on quite a few servers. Plenty of mentions of it while trying to play. Never had the minimuze issue but my hardware is in a much different place. I did get to play it i5 and 8800 GT one time but thats still DX10 could be some dx11 code bugs in there.
 
I only went on it once at a mates but I completely agree - what is wrong with the choppers!? You get in the sky and then BOOM you're done..and to make it worse you committed suicide because you were thrown to the floor? I couldn't work out as well were flares unlockable? cause if they were that's just plain stupid. All planes and stuff today have flares as standard.. otherwise you just die as soon as someone is locked on. I also think that the chopper movements were completely wrong, like aiming it up on a tank was more frustrating than actually missing, plus they just felt too slow and sluggish, and they were too easy to take down. I hope they refine that and they make the unlocks more realistic so that anyone no matter what level has a decent chance at getting some kills
Didnt like all that faff with the browser battlelog. it just seems like online gaming on the cheap. maybe it was only for the Beta, but who knows. I just hope I can still kill something when I finally get the game and a pc.

Only on one or two occasions did my GPU kick up during BC2 and this was in the UAV for extended periods of time. I never heard the fan speeds kick in but I always noticed between rounds and when exiting the fans would go back to normal speed playing the alpha and beta BF3.
