Who is complaining about this? My only dislike on the subject is forced cockpits, cause I like to see what I'm doing. I mainly used my plane in PS1 for fast transport, and will probably do the same in PS2. So, it was never a big enough issue for me to care to post about. As for the actual flight physics, I've seen no complaints.

There was no way, no matter how good you were that you were going to get those three kills unless maybe you caught them coming up the tower stairs and you plasma spammed them and used HA to finish them off.
While I am admittedly a bit concerned that the TTK is a bit too fast in PS2 I am looking forward to being able to lay down the same ownage in PS2 that I am able to do in the more modern shooters like BF and COD.
I wont have to overclock my FSB (speed hacking) or camp the spawn tubes (Godjoey) to actually have a chance to be somewhere on the leaderboards.

So you only like the change because you were bad at PS1? I was all for slightly faster TTKs, but they seem a little too fast atm.

I haven't looked back at that thread in a while, but the OP (and most the people that were complaining about it) seemed ok with it once it was explained to them that it was in fact higher than PS1's. They just want to avoid places like Searhus's center were the land was higher than the ceiling.

I think its more that they were so far inland and gave a pretty big annoying warning. There is a big border of land around the edges of the cont that are not contained in a hex that they can make the boundaries a little more lenient. They don't have to extend well out over the ocean like they did in PS1, but a little more room would be good.

In the old PS if you got kicked off a continent, your next spawn could only be at an AMS you were bound to or Sanctuary. So while you were regrouping at sanctuary the continent was getting pop locked. You and your buddies were stuck in the warpgate trying to get back in. With the new PS, you can never be denied the continent you want to fight on.

If you took to long regrouping and got locked out of the next cont that was your fault. There was still 9 other conts you and your buddies could goto. Also back at PS launch there was 3-4 conts being fought over at a time, so there was plenty of other targets to choose from. The bigger problem here is only 3 conts.
Once you get pushed back to your foothold now, if the other 2 are pop locked (very likely at prime time) then your stuck trying to fight out of your WG, and probably getting camped.

They could have fixed that this time. If you used the third shot in a Deci and have another in your backpack, it automatically equips it. I will miss the free form "make your own class" inventories from PS1.

I'm pretty sure everyone is happy this is gone. I was one of the biggest tower whores in PS1, and even idc that its gone. The only complaint most have is with ground vehicles. In the vid clips they have used some 3rd person while driving, but they have stated 3rd person will only be available to aircraft.

I never read any of the prone threads because idc if it is in or out. So, can't really comment on this one.

We need to be vocal now, so the devs start looking into these things from our perspective before beta. The more they are aware of something that is causing concern now, the more likely they are to seriously look at changing it come beta.

We have yet to see a battle. GDC we got to see Higby rocket spam a Mag, have a small 5 on 5 skirmish, and thats about it. Yes the new engine and conts looks pretty, but I can't wait to see an actual battle. That is the only gameplay footage that matters.
Different people like different things. No matter how well the game is done, it will never please everyone, and people will ALWAYS complain. So... stop complaining about complaining?

Topping the scoreboard on a BF3 match is an easy feat for most of us. Especially for me if you give me a L85A2 or a jet... kiss your ass goodbye
