Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting:

Please reconsider 'infantry mode'. All that was needed was a mode that did the following:

• Replace Tanks/APCs spawns with Heavy Jeeps
• Replace AA vehicle spawns with Light Jeeps
• Remove Jets
• Replace Attack Helicopters spawns with Transport Helicopters (i.e. USMC Wake Island 2007 carrier would now have 3 Blackhawks)

That's it. Add this option for each map for whatever you want to call it and it would add new fun.

I think with all the changes made in the 'infantry mode' currently that its prone to major balance issues. Certain classes, like Medic, are godly while other classes like Engineer become useless.

Please reconsider 'infantry mode'.

We appreciate you releasing the patch to the public in this BETA. This shows that you are listening to our concerns.


To a solid 1.4 patch.

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

I would like to point out three annoying "bugs" that have remained since 1.00. I believe they are independent of my computer. I have not tried the 1.4 beta but I strongly believe these are not corrected as of yet.

Event - In the Favorites menu there are these white entries that are not actually made favorites but that I have recently played in. Only the first page of these white entries work. If I try to scroll the list further down the list just stays on the first page
Source - Favorites meny in the server browser.
Reproduced Successfully? - Very easy, try it out :)

Event - Port of the server that I'm currently playing in does not show correctly when holding TAB, right clicking and trying to get the server information. Sometimes the IP is unavailable as well.
Source - Try any server.
Reproduced Successfully? - Yes, happens nearly all the time.

Event - Not able to select spawn point when pressing CAPS and selecting the squad screen. This is one of the most annoying things! Why can I only choose the spawn point when in the weapon selection screen? I also think that spawning should only occur _after_ pressing Done, not during selecting the spawn point and weapons and when the 15 second fill up...
Source - Any server, any map, any gamemode.
Reproduced Successfully? - Yes

Thanks for you attention. Keep up the good work with the excellent game. :)

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

Spawning on your squad leader still doesn't work flawlessly; sometimes you have to keep pressing the button.
What evidence do you need?

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

Salut!
Just got through pulling all the reports along with the videos and images from the list. Thank you guys!! This helps us a ton and please keep it rolling.

I am trolling as many forums as I can so please keep voicing your thoughts and providing bug data and feedback.

Well, thanks for dropping by

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

Yeah :)

You know...does the way of reporting bugs via fan forums seem somehow to be lacking in professionalism? Maybe not. Maybe it's just me, but I would have contect forum ownersz and asked if a new section could have been opened just for 1.4 and maybe a proper format of reporting and a thread where every report that doesn't conform get's deleted ?

i confirm this one too, and i confirm the one about spawming in the squad leaders needs more then one pressing to work.

more later i will put my own bugs/exploits/glitchs that i manage to found

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

I used the full patch but as the following aren't bugs but more "game-play issues" my sys doesn't matter. So:

1. The prone crouch stand delay is bad - it takes me hours to get up. The better way to fix prone-spamming would be to fix the animation so that the hit boxes are at least slightly related to it (the same would hold for the rolling animation when one goes prone while strafing).

2. To "reduce c4 throwing distance" is ********. Pre 1.2 (or so, don't remember the exact version) C4 Throwing was annoying because everyone could do it so the servers were full with c4 chuckers so it was OK to do something against it. BUT as it was throwable after 1.3 there was no such exploiting and one was able to throw the c4 over a wall or fence on an armor behind, or at least from 3-4 meters away so one hasn't to climb ON the tank to place it (<- yes, I'm exaggerating) which was a GOOD thing.

3. Somehow it seems that the overall game speed has decreased once again. Not the frames per second but one moves like sticked in glue.

4. Last but not least (more my 1. place): There's still cartillery and "squad hopping" is still disabled. While i can understand that some consider people magically "beaming" all over the place as unrealistic or an exploit IMHO is turning FF off (generally or just for clays & mines) a much bigger "exploit" (and that is allowed for ranked servers :laugh:).
IMHO the whole difference is that some prefer a more "realistic" way (no squad hopping) against a more "arcade" way (with squad hopping). The real error was made by DICE in forcing these two groups to play together instead of making it a server side option so everybody were able to find a server with the settings one likes. I, i.e., would prefer the "squad hopping" way as it would allow me to cycle the leader position when the leader dies on someone alive at the battle area simply for the faster pace, on the other hand the cartillery is just some big joke IMHO. In fact i bought the game for the game play it had in the demo which it hasn't now - i seriously doubt if i had ever bought it if it was released as it is now :evil:.
So to put it short: I don't care if you re enable it for RANKED servers (there you are free to set the rules, so if you really need it: leave it disabled) but i want definitely a server side option to enable squad hopping and to disable cartillery on UNRANKED servers (and for mods).
Because you probably use a CVS (if not there's no help and i found the explanation for the success of your previous patches ) and you can do this by simply enabling or disabling the proper buttons in the commander and spawn menu it should need max 1 programming hour - so it's no this expensive !!!

SO PLEASE: DO IT !!!


PS: Although you probably know it: Fix the various glitches (i.e. Karkand Hotel).

PPS: Stop nerfing stuff down, this ruined the game enough. If you still feel the need for nerfing, nerf UP !

So to put it short: Revert to 1.2 & fix the BUGS and leave the rest alone. BTW: Thanks for the new map.

FINAL EDIT: Stop pressing rules on people how to play the game, BF was great and better then other games because there weren't rules. Because you will screw it up everytime and it's impossible to please everyone you should make all the stuff a server side option so everybody is able to find a server one likes to play on.

Re: 1.4 Feedback and Error Reporting

Tanks taking damage for rolling over terrain and hitting little bumps is pretty stupid. Half the time you get in a tank battle if you've been on the move for a while in a map like oman you're bound to have maybe a quarter of your health taken off you depending on how long and how fast you've been moving. Obviously this puts you at a disadvantage. Also the drawdistance bug where vehicles can flicker in and out of view can be pretty annoying.

Not specifically a 1.4 issue, just something thats always been in the game but never been adjusted.
