Well maybe they'll crank up the aim assist on the consoles but i doubt it. I've tried to get my friends into the series but they all say the same thing, that it moves too slow and clumsy.

Yep I have. Only for a couple days though because I got the Alpha invite late...

I can honestly say it didn't feel at all like BC2. Players moved faster but it still feels real.

It's not COD. Not bashing COD but they move much faster which suits the game's style as it's much more run and gun.

Why would we want more aim assist? What would that solve? There are a ton of die hard COD fans that will tell you (and I used to be one) that they are dumbing it down and aim assist is a big part of that. Recoil is a massive difference too. It's definately there and I'd near guarantee there won't be so many LMG snipers out there in this game.

My only real complaint is the 3d (arrow above your head) spotting. In my opinion it should be a dot on the HUD or nothing at all. That's a personal gripe though. I do wonder how much they changed from alpha, they say it's a lot.

Oh god no. I will not play this game if they do. I don't want that cod crap in this game.
 
COD is not run-and-gun. COD is basically laser tag.

Hahaha! I said I wouldn't bash COD but you did it for me.



If your a long time COD player you really need to stick with the Battlefield series for a while to appreciate it. It plays very very differently and you can't go suggesting things like aim assist and "marathon" like qualities in a Battlefield thread. It's not COD and isn't trying to be.
 
Coming from MW2, BFBC2 pissed me off so much because I couldn't kill anyone. Now I can get Ace pretty easily, even if my KD isn't so hot.
 
Does anyone know what the specs are for a PC to run the game? I'm going to build a new computer to play the game as well as I-racing so any help would be much apriciated.... thankzz

All dlc coming 1 week earlier to ps3.... Not sure why that'd change anyone's mind but to me it's interesting because that must mean they are atleast planning some DLC packs again.
 
Played this today at Eurogamer expo, they had 2 sets of 16 PC's on 8v8 lan. Wow! Phenominal! I just, want this game so bad right now, especially now after playing it! So good!
 
I just pre-ordered mine on origin. I'm so bored-- I wanted to play the beta and I don't have MoH lol.

same here, looks like the download file will be 2-3gb, however with my internet connection i doubt it will install; damn virgin media!
 
I wonder what time sunday they will start letting people download it that pre ordered from origin? If it was early I might go ahead and cancel my gamestop order and go with origin.

Oh ok fair enough. I though you were meaning not a very constant connection and that sort of bad.
