watching these videos here http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/battlefield ... 267p1.html and gotta say the ak 47 looks so damn tasty cant wait to try it, so does the saw with stand as well.


actually the svd without a scope on it reminds of cod2 rifles :O , i wants one

must say the game looks fuckin nice
Even at 30/40 fps outside there is no lag or gfx stutter
Doesnt feel anything like bc2 tho, a lot smoother and way faster
you can choose to be revived or not (keep clay happy lol)

although the outside map has a lot of trees it is still possible to see enemy running about
Huge choice of weapons and attachments to go with it
Running is better than bc2 by far
Only thing is it sounds like you are a midget with your feet running fast
Prone is great for getting out the way of fire but you can still be seen

Lighting effects are awesome, tress and leaves move and the sun glare loks realistic
Even though it is only using dx9. Dx11 is gonna look awesome on this
Hopefully the new gfx drivers soon will help with the dx11 too

Great when you have a sniper camping outside in bushes as you can see the sun reflect off his scope
Muzzle flash is good too, not too much on your screen when firing but you can see them shoot in bushes or trees

had to laff last night tho
was running about and a tree fell, i was trying to run through it like in bc2 but you cant and i got stuck in the branches
Almost everything in the map can be blown apart or demolished
If a nade goes off it leaves a hole in the ground you can prone in

Hitboxes as chris said are way better, didnt see any bad reg
points sytem for killing, levelling up etc looks way better
Nice colour ribbons instead of black
more points can be gotten with team mates spawning on you etc

They have also opened up the map a bit
i can now use my rpg to shoot the crap out of the first floor windows and see em blow apart

Vehicle shooting(only 1 in map)
Much better and responds a lot faster too

Bad bits
Game still crashes a bit, but hey, its an alpha test
Servers are all full
Game likes cpu and gpu
my card hit 60 degrees last night and was using 80% of the gpu memory
No medic class, assault now has defib

not had chance to play it but it does look nice. Will def be pre-ordering probs from game they have extra gun with there pre-order

I havent tried this yet but bc2 is undoubtedly not the game to be comparing this with since 1942 was better than bc2 lawl
