Bones Posted July 28, 2011 at 01:17 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 at 01:17 PM Ok so I have spent about 2 hours in the Pre-Alpha so far. Overall I like it, to me it feels more like vanilla BF2 then a simple COD clone. PROS:- Even in Pre-Alpha the Frostbite 2.0 Engine looks amazing- Sound design is really great- The Battlelog website is a nice touch for that all important stat tracking- Gameplay is smooth, responsive, and most important FUN!!!!CONS:- Some weapons/kits feel unbalanced- The destructibility of the environments is not up to par with what DICE has made us believe- October now seems so far away!!!Please, if you have access and played in the Pre-Alpha sound off with your likes/dislikes. I am curious as to what others think of it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= LittleTortiaBoy Posted July 28, 2011 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 at 01:46 PM my biggest con IS the battlelog website, seems to only favor those who use chrome cause it hasn't even let me play it at all, and I'm not gonna download chrome to play a game...

There is only one vehicle in this round of testing and that is the Lav-25, IMO it feels identical to the one found in BF2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you have got the Battlelog plugin installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. i just know that when I launch the game through Origin, it opens up a web browser window where I have to log into my EA master account. From there you have to click find match. The first time I did that it had to install the browser plug-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITN Posted July 29, 2011 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 at 12:46 AM Okay, it may just be related to the Alpha trials. But if the game forces Origin membership EA can go !fuk itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
