Wannaß's Rant Begins
So basically throughout the whole beta very little has been presented to the public of what they have been working on;
Only patching the beta once;
( the first update didn't count ... all they did was fix a coding error )
It was to released to fix "lag" honestly i haven't seen much difference in the new patch ( b4 and after )
After looking at the release notes of the latest patch im kinda fixated on all the past betas ive been in....
Having participated in many beta's basically what you get in the beta is what you get in the final release. ( also troubling is the updates where called RC or rather release candidates )
Several issues trouble me atm;
1. the HORRIBLE smudges on the snipers scope... seriously? what did they run out of scope that hadn't been dropped 100 times? Some say its a way to make being a sniper harder... seriously? being a sniper already is hard in the fact your constantly getting mortar'd and picked off by other snipers.
2. Prone has been said to be in put in the game; If thats the case wouldnt that be something they would want to test? after all thats one of the #1 issues with most games ( glitching thru walls while prone ) youd think they would have already introduced this into the beta for use to test.
3. Knifing is unrealistic in the fact people using the shotguns are often stabbed to death b4 they can kill the enemy with there gun.... They seriously need to bring back the old knifing system and get the heck off console port auto aiming super duper stab technique! seriously i prolly spawn killed a whole team yesterday just by constantly stabbing them.
4. Shotgun vs Machine gun ( aka saw's ) shotgun almost always wins; while in real tactics the saw's gonna rape anyone using a shotgun against it. if the shotgun takes out people using saw's then that makes me think something is wrong with the game's engine in the fact i never see people getting knifed to death when there using a saw.
Just a random rant i suppose;
I just wish game developers would come to the realization that the reason games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft are so successful is that fact the developers ( aka blizzard ) dont push out crappy beta games they call " FINAL " seriously? how long is it going to take them to realize that the reason most games are pirated in the first place is due to the current trend of releasing crappy games. Ill admit b4 i bought World at War i "beta tested" it; i thought it was a great game so i bought it! Sadly i cant say ive bought every game iv "beta tested" due to the fact they were broken to me.
I do realize that " OMG! you stole games! how do you expect game developers to make games if you dont buy them?! " well if they all took the time to make decent games id actually buy them... Im kinda glad bad company has had a beta in the fact i can actually see what a portion of the game will be like; but as for actually buying the game atm.... im not sold yet; perhaps after i hear a couple good reviews from fell clan mates i might buy it
Game play to me is actually fun just there are parts of the game i look forward to in a battlefield game that's just not there;
