News: My Launch Impressions - Page 2

Nice video and comments hamma.

I think your view of the launch may be dependant on the amount of problem your server had and clearly some servers had more problems than others.

I play on Miller which has had major problems, that being said I've always had faith that they would sort them out.

re: leaderboard, personally I'm never going to trouble the scorers, as they say. But I think the leaderboard should stay. As suggested on reddit there should perhaps be variants for support play, e.g. no of revives, no of gen repairs / or overloads or something.

I also think a person going for the kills is a valid playstyle as the territory capture playstyle and PS should be about more than 1 or 2 playstyles, both can happily live alongside each other.

The big things that's missing, as we've all discussed many times is the grand meta-game. We're all presently fighting in constant big three-ways, how soon will we continue before we get bored?

Lastly, I agree with you about the camo's and customisation. I didn't think I would beforehand.

I am at work and I just watch the video.

Nice points Hamma, as a new PS player I agree with them all.

One funny thing I find is how it seems many people are still losing sight of how much of a benchmark game this really is in FPS history and are simply nit-picking it to death. Not to mention it just came out! The biggest discussions my group has when we are playing is about where this game will be in a year and what else can be added to it. It's quite mind boggling.

Man, when did you get on SOE's payroll? This video review is pretty embarrassing.

Meh gotta agree with Valcron.Your opinions but still,I had my hopes set low after everything the devs said and they still came out a little short.

Cool vid bought up a lot of good points, I have to agree on you with a lot of them. I mean for the launch I had no problems and Im east coast playing on a EU server, I downloaded and logged right in. I did get the VET Emblem which I wear on every uniform

its my standard load out. I didnt get the alfpha one but I have the beta one. There are still alot a bugs, but the game is still worth my monthly subscriptions, I hope every one does take you advice and join an outfit. Id does add to the games fun, nice vid man, Im gonna make my girl watch it as part of her PS2 newb initiation.

When did you be come one of the least useful users on this forum? Thanks for your useful (ignorant) opinion. You are free to have your own opinion which is one that thinks this is battlefield 4. But don't accuse me of being paid off, it's insulting and disrespectful to what I've done for this community.

The video is my opinion on the game which is overall positive like most reviews that have come out so get over it and just leave this community. You obviously don't like it.

My only problem is a considerable ammount of frame loss in large battles, I am about 10-15 frames lower than I was on mid beta, the game still needs to take advantage of the GPU more. I don't know if this is anywhere related to me being unable to uninstall the beta due to the uninstall bug, maybe some registry settings are doing something to my graphical settings.

There are also a few game bugs that are game breaking and need to be tackled immediately, the MAX HP while playing any grunt bug and lock on missiles (A2G, A2A) simply not hitting their target after barrel rolls, mostly happening against VS scythes and extremely rare with a reaver and possibly the mossie.

Asides from some of the stuff they missed from the old panetside, stuff which they "should" add eventually according to a post I saw in the beta, I just want performance to be decent, I think I speak for the great majority of their soon to be clients when I say this, alot of people are discontent with the performance while having really great rigs.
