Really? What exactly is unfinished? The UI is adequate (or the worst thing evarrr if you are on the internet) and I really havent encountered any serious issues playing it at all. I am not trying to be hostile, I am very curious as to what everyone thinks is broken about the game. Basically everyone on the internet has just taken a giant shit on it for, as far as I have noticed, no reason.

Misleading thread title, you are confusing "listening" with DICE simply trying to get BF3 to where it should have been at release date. If they were "listening" we would see things like....

"We are re-evaluating the layout of some of the maps- you know the ones"

"Yea, we know the vehicles need a major buff to make them well, like they should have been"

"Were sorry recon players we are going to un-nuter that class"

"We are looking at how to make the assault class relevant"

"We are re-evaluating moving to 6 squad Members PC and making enough squads availible"

"we really wanted to show off our technology and our lighting effects.....were sorry, we will fix it"

"Sometimes life does not immitate art, contrast will be adjusted"

"we know all the maps are basically 3 designs scalled from small to large, we will get more diversity into the game"

If they were really listening....what would the headlines look like to you?

Not to mention how shitty the minimap and "full map" when I press M looks.

Well, the server browser is up there, it's not completely awful but I always have dramas with it, it crashes alot as well. The options menu only usable in-game is another thing, the killcam travesty, the fact they only put a barely working commo-rose feature in AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND. That for me is a big thing, all this time working on the sequel to BF2 and they had to be reminded to put that in. The squad system is pathetic compared to BF2, 2142 or any BC games. These are the things that make me feel like they just didn't put that extra little something that all the Battlefield games had before it. Every game was an improvement in interface and features. BF3 seems like they took a step back in alot of the key features that made BF2 a really amazing game.

That aside, I really enjoy playing it, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it alot more once the Karkand expansion is released. it has alot of things going for it, but I simply take it as a new game and mentally ommit the sequel part and pretend it's "FUTURE COMBAT GAME:3".

tl;dr wheres the pizzaz

I personally don't have many problems with the game, the squad system is lacking but just about does the job it's functional just not as easy to use as it possibly could be, and what's wrong with the vehicles? I'm finding that more and more people are getting the knack of air vehicles and starting to dominate land vehicles more, people weren't going to be flying aces a few days into release

I see, I get it a bit more now. I have noticed all those things now I have thought about it but I guess just ignored them because I didn't want to sour my experience I have also just been playing on a couple of favourited servers and before I started doing that the lack of a ping filter/accurate region to search through was a bit annoying. Ended up putting "aus" in the search box which seemed to work.

"Yea, we know the vehicles need a major buff to make them well, like they should have been"

Don't know what the hell this is referring to, people in vehicles get vastly more kills than people not. Jets not bombing everything to shit perhaps? Only ones I would consider not strong. Any time an attack helicopter gets a decent pilot it does very well, AA is borderline overpowered (kills tanks super quick if you get behind one) and tanks themselves are very fun to drive(although not having some of the unlocks could hamper that I suppose).

This "VEHICLE DISABLED" thing is weird, I'd hit a T-90 till that came up (2 shots), then hit it another 4 times and it killed me. I know it was being repaired but it made no sense why a disabled, flaming tank can win that engagement.

Do they mean by disabled 'can't move anymore' or 'can't do fuck all anymore?' Because if it can still shoot then its not that weird that it won.

Disabled = can't move and will lose health slowly. It can still shoot fine.

Don't underestimate someone repairing, one person repairing can heal about 90% of the damage you do between shots

That is simply ridiculous. You could only do that when you moved behind cover to repair, to be able to be disabled and losing health and win against a moving tank is so retarded hahaha, I'm not complaining though because I will be in tanks a fair bit, but that's seriously fucked up hahaha.

lol serious? It takes about 1 hour to unlock the M416 - good gun. The m16a3 is pretty bloody good to. In fact, any gun kicks arse if you are good enough

I got my PC version in the post yesterday, cancelled my PS3 pre-order since I just didn't want the console version anymore, even when my PC grinded to a halt during the beta.

I wonder if I'll have the heart to install it again after the beta once I get a new HDD

The IRNV scope is good but it's not that great. It's only 1x zoom and is has that annoying sway. I don't know why everyone is calling it a hack scope, scopes are supposed to give you an advantage.

shift removes the sway.

it really is ridiculously useful, simply because of the massive contrast. actually seeing people can be tricky amongst the light show at times. you react quicker to big bright blob on very dark nondescript background than detailed brown blob on detailed background.

like you can see bits of people sticking out in gaps in walls from decent distances away that you'd have no hope otherwise, simply because of the "hey, look, bright green bit over there!"

Well it gets rid of all the BS lighting and effects that DICE has put in this game, it's so diffcult to see at times, the IRNV gets rid of all of that. In past Battlefield games I wouldn't even use this scope because it was much easier to see everything.

I constantly see it being complained about on forums around the internet, so it will probably get nerfed eventually. I have it unlocked for basically every assault rifle so far except the F2000 which i'm working on today.

What's the deal with the M4 and the M4A1? I assume their stats are linked, but why not just have 3 fire modes for the one gun, instead of two guns?

I like it, anyhow. IRNV and Bipod is great for running in and holding a flag while you cap it.

Neck-beards freaked the fuck out at the firing modes on the M16 and M4 in the beta. Originally it was the M4A1 and M16A4 and they both could do both auto and burst. Neckbeards were all like "SO UNREALISDICK!" so DICE made them two wepon.
