PS3 Bad Company 2 Beta is Live!

Control settings bug... only seems to do it the first time you go to the control settings right after you start. Other people see the same thing?

Searching for game... no games found. Anyone else getting the same message?

nope mines just fine

Got the update, working like a charm. Very nice game, not all the controls are the same. Graphics are pretty sweet for Beta. As mentioned before, very nice to kill quicker than BFBC1.

Can anyone tell me how do you pick up like extra ammo, or the health packs?

The game looks great. My problem is the controls. Why would you switch the controls. They try to jam too many controls into the game. This is great for the PC version but not for a console game with an analog stick. Burst fire is fine BF2 was the same way. One nade is a joke though and the fact that I have to take my hand off the stick and press over on the d pad for the grenade launcher is a joke as well. Vehicle controls are fine by setting the alternate. You have to do the same for the character controls as well to get a similar feel to BC1 as well. Crouch walkers will not have a hard time in this game. Spawn campers won't either. The way you have to burst fire is similar to Battlefield 2 and spawn camping was the same there. I also have a problem with having to rank up for special abilities similar to COD Modern Warfare. It's great for COD because the only game worth playing is single player death match. Quick Scoping sucked but the other things added in bad company balanced it out. This is more of a stick with your squad type of game and I'm fine with that. You definitely can't hall a@@ to the next set of crates in this game. It will require more team work which is fine with me but I may just buy the PC version. The game and game play are excellent. Graphics are wonderful. Controls are cumbersome.

The only problems I saw last night:

1. Tanks able to move through the 'corner' of a building without any destruction.
2. No matter how much I scored during the game, I never got any XP at the end of the game. It constantly told me my score was zero (even thought I score in excess of 2000 points several times).

p.s. I only got to play for a short period last night.

Seems like a great game so far, but I do have some things I'd really like to see changed.

1) This one is the most important to me. I REALLY do NOT like killcams. I usually like to play as a sniper, and a killcam can give away my position. Even if I'm not sniping, I prefer no killcam. That was one of the great things about the original Bad Company and I hope it gets changed.

2) I saw several glitches with the rocks in game. Some don't touch the ground in places and others have collision detection problems (I walked into a rock about halfway).

3) My score doesn't update so I have no ranking system or unlocks. I'm not sure if this was intended, but it would be nice to test out the unlocks as well.

Other than those things, I really like the game and will definitely buy it (if the killcam goes away

)

good job DICE, now start a world wide open 360 beta!

Things that need to be fixed:

1. Sniper shots should always be a kill from the chest up. I shot many enemies in the throat only to have them shoot back at me, same with shooting them in the chest and its not lag. Should be one shot kill.

2. Sniper rifles don't automatically reload after each shot, you have to let go of trigger to reload.

3. You cant lay down on the ground, its been in every battlefield except the last one, if I want to avoid tanks shooting at me, i would like to lay down.

4. Its still taking a whole clip to kill enemies, why? why do that? It doesnt happen all the time, but its still happening alot

5. Four wheelers and the trucks should be a little faster, but it is a much better improvement over last game.

6. FIX THE JAGGIES!!! I play on hi-def and can clearly notice lots of jaggies, graphics are great, but make it easier for us to see enemies, without jaggies being in the way. This is what you should work on first.

7. I've noticed a grenade glitch, sometimes when i hold the grenade, it will disappear and then a second later you can see it fly threw the air,but again, its not lag.

8. The beta isnt keeping our stats all the time, its resetting, hopefully that wont happen in the full game

9. Wheres the G36, Famas, M-tar? why not have the most popular guns in the game? This is a big turn off for me, I dont understand it.

10. Game need to run a little smoother. Doesnt run as smooth as other games out there, but it is damn close.

Overall, the games looking good, but not great like I thought. You fix these things or ever most of them; the game will be perfect and i'll pick it up, most defiantly.

nr. 2 is not a problem. thats how it should be. so you can see the enemy fall to the ground

youre talking about the zoom-trigger right?

I agree. We don't need the killcam.

Is score suppose to reset every game?

Fix the insane pop in and give us fully customizable controls.

This game is going to take Modern Warfare out. I am not really overly critical EA/DICE you guys have a monster on your hands. LOVE IT...
