    I don't know if you guys have noticed but when shots are going off and you're in a firefight, it's tougher to acquire your sights, just like in real life. Game's fucking awesome. The realism is off the charts.

    Is there a way to get more than 4 people in a squad or at least have more than one squad together for matchmaking?

    Not in the beta, but in the full game you should be able too.

    I'm still getting used to the all the screen layouts and customizations options. I got a few ?'s for the verterans of BF.

    1-How do you mute people? Fucking retards that just blast their music .

    2-In the final game is there a place where we can customize all the class loadouts besides in mid-game?

    3-Are sniper rifles going to overpowered, in the beta it seems that guys get a acog scope for the semi-auto sniper and just own with it.

    Hathcock used a bolt action, NnB uses a bolt action. Non-50cal semi-auto sniper platforms are for the :aero:

    Number 2 is dumb. Make it like cod to set classes up and then give us 10 sec before match starts

    Chief, sounds like you need to just stick to COD. I think you are better suited to noobtube w/ one man army.

    I'm going to actually agree, partially. I wish I could customize my loadout with a sniper rifle and an 870 shotgun for cqb.

    The perk where you can just keep replenishing your ammo, so you had unlimited tubes and claymores.

    I will get both cause sometimes I just like to run and gun and tube the shit out of little 12 year olds. Plus I have a feeling I will get tired of such huge maps and need a change of pace.

    In regards to #2 - in BC2 your last used class loadouts were saved whenever you entered the server. So if you took 2 minutes to finish them all they'd be saved each time you came back in game.

    The consoles got the Alpha while PC got the true beta. AKA we got the PC's sloppy seconds.

    Yeah I played BF2 until BC2 came out. It was such a great game

    I still wonder why they wasted dev time with a single player for BF3. I doubt I'll ever play it

    DICE: Squads are only accessible on Battlelog, no squad management in game.


    According to the Battlefield 3 community manager, zh1nt0, the squads can only be managed on Battlelog and not in the actual game.

    This means you can no longer create squads/make private squads while in game. You can only join or leave squads.

    Hundreds of Battlefield fans are dissapointed and many are cancelling their PC pre-orders right now.

    A little beef with the game play, if some of the sniper are gonna have drop, all of them need to.

    Man I just hope the number of guys that snipe go down a little. Just seems like thats all I was killed by was snipers for the longest time. Not saying they are overpowering, it just seemed some maps turn into sniper fests. Most of those games once we got underground it was game over for them since we could rush so fast.

    Snipers and Rush go hand in hand. When conquest starts up and vehicles roam the earth and sky you will see a significant drop in snipers because the maps are just way to big for them to be useful unless they are really good.

    We gotta get some of the tmb guys together to play. I can't win with these teams and I keep finishing top 2 on my team every time.

    Also I love this game so far.
