Tell me, Apple, what do you think about having to unlock flares for jets and co-ax mg for tanks?

Well I don't fly or tank much so it doesn't bother me, but with that biased statement aside...

The only issue I'd see is, if someone new is to the game, he won't have certain aspects e.g coax mg, while veteran players will. But having a teammate in tank (which I loved being the gunner in a tank, the few times I did it), or focusing more on vehicle combat rather then direct infantry combat would be an easy way to level up. I don't think that the developers would have done without testing the sensibility of it, at least to some degree.

Similar for the flares for jets. But these are small aspects to a jet or a tank. They are small assistance's to piloting a jet or driving a tank, I can't see them making or breaking the enjoyment of either.

Nobody is complaining about the glitches. It's expected, they happen all the time.

People are complaining about DICE direction with the game, lack of past features that made the game great. And also the map design decision of clustering all flags in a straight line or in a tight circle.

But does that make the game bad, or different? Maybe I am less picky, I don't know. I played both levels that were released and I really didn't have a problem with flag placement. On Caspian, I thought it was nice how forest and hill flags were very close, and others weren't to ridiculously far. But they were a good distance to allow different types of fighting going on e.g infantry in one area, and vehicle combat in another (and of course air in the sky). Its clever.

I just have trouble understanding why not including everything the past games had, make the game inferior to some people? I'd rather them be creative, with new ideas like they did in bf3 then follow the same thinking call of duty devs do, and create a "new game" every year which implements the same exact gameplay. Bf3 gives a fresh feel to fps, both console and pc. In my opinion, if its looked at more like a new game, rather then something trying to follow in suit with Bf2, 2142 and etc. then its much better.

I guess its just taste really, cause there are multiple ways to look at it. Nobody is at fault for liking or disliking certain aspects of Bf3, of course

But for me; I'm glad Bf3 feels like Bf3, because its Bf3.

I love Bf3. Its so fresh, mannn.

People to picky. Judging by this thread's direction, I am late to the punch to post my thoughts. But I've visited forums the past few days. But my thoughts are simple, I had lots of fun in the beta. Maybe my thoughts are simple because I spent time having fun instead of making a list of things too hate on... just saying.

I don't even get why people got so mad at the glitches (not even just here, all over the internet people were raging about them). It was beta. Besides, I thought they were super funny and they gave me a good laugh!

All in all I really enjoyed the beta, great game to kick back with some devs and friends and just have fun.

Apple ( heeeeeeyyyy )
Yeah, according to their facebook, posted 40 minutes ago: "We currently have some problems with registration due to heavy traffic to our website. We're working hard to fix it."

Hey man

Yeah, thought as much. Well, I did manage to register. I have no clue how one gets to play the game, but I read they PM people keys or something, I don't know, I requested one though
