So I just finished playing a few rounds in a hardcore server and i think i liked it better than the regular one. Increase damage, no crosshairs, no enemy spotting(the red triangles don't appear on top of the enemies or on minimap) those are some of the things i notice.

I dont really care about prone, but they should give the option to turn it off and on depending on the servers and for the love of god, make it toggle, same with crouch.Dante2710
there is a game with non toggle prone :shock:

Hm... played a bunch of the PC version and just tried out the 360 demo today, and I might like the 360 version better.. the controls seem to work a bit better for the controller, there's hardly any lag, hell even guys seem to take less bullets to take down, as long as you exclude the 'hardcore' version. And since I can run it through my 5.1 system, it sounds.. incredible..

I had the PC version preordered, but now I have my doubts :| The 360 version even seems to run much smoother.

hey guys i just downloaded the beta but i can't update it, it says the servers are down or i am not connected, but i have internet connection. i choose the option to play the old version which i assume is the uber laggy version giving me fps under 40 and everyone is jumping around everywhere. is there a way to fix this?

edit: nvm, checked the twitter page and i fixed it

:lol: I had the misfortune of getting into a helicopter piloted by someone with a similar lack of flying skills just yesterday when I was playing. Anyway, I've been loving the beta so far! Very intense and fun.

Flying helicopters in BF series has always been pretty tough.. took me a lot of practice not to flip one over in BF2, and I completely forgot how to fly one since then :)

They inverted the controls from BF2, so I failed epicly the first time I tried to fly one of those things.

Same. I just can't seem to get used to the KB&M controls on the PC. The 360 version seems to be better. I just need to get Steam to refund my money.

Wierd, Ive played both and I gotta say the pc version is better. Graphics look better, it runs better and the controls are better with K+M. Only thing 360 version did better imo was less dissconects and more people playing. But thats just me. I still on the fence about weither to get this for pc or 360 though.. as my cousins all game on consoles..

The one problem with hardcore is the lack of crosshairs when inside tanks though; you can't actually exactly see where you are shooting.

Just unlocked my red sight. I met the first douchebag in the game. He kept spamming with text and it was soo hard to see. God that was annoying.

Really? I found toggle aim much more intuitive, especially for a slower paced game like BC2 (at least compared to MW2).

I did get used to it after a while, but it just felt really wrong for the first hour or so. Could be because I like to fight close up, which requires you to bring the sights up and down quickly. If you snipe, I can definitely see the toggle being better.

I love this game so far, although I think that the weapons for Medic and Support should be switched around it makes no sense for a medic to have a light machine gun. But I will defenitly be buying this game, its defenitly got the battlefield spirit right, plus anything is better then MW2

I like it. I just think that the maps are a bit too small for 32 player. maybe if the whole map was open but on rush you have a big number of people fighting for a small territory. I find myself getting killed right after spawning an awful lot. But I do have to say that the game has the best sound for a video game I have ever heard.

I just reach rank 12 (the top in the beta) a week after. Still some items and weapons to unlock. The game is godlike. DICE nail the gameplay thanx to the new squad system and the environmental destruction. It runs very well maxed in my GTX 275 and I don't miss any BF2 feature enought to overshadow the amazing fun I have with Bad Company 2. Aside from Starcraft II, I can't see a better aspirant to GOTY 210 in the horizon; the mp in this game looks endless even with a single map.

I looked for an option to remove that but couldn't find one, I HATE toggle to aim.
