Why do you think they make dlc map packs so often?
Because people will buy them and the company makes a lot of money from it.

1) It's basically a TDM, but captured objectives let you spawn there, right? And I assume that capturing all objectives wins you to game too. 2) Am I supposed to stick with my squad? I assume so, but I truly never see this happen in the beta. 3) How does bullet drop work, or not work? I'm having a very hard time as a sniper with x7/x8 scope, cause I have no idea how much the bullet will drop. From my experience though, the bullets don't actually drop, because of the maybe 30 shots I've fired, the 5ish that hit were all aimed directly at the target. This is from 50-100m away. 4) How to choose where to spawn. This was ridiculously easy in Metro, but on Caspian, I am stumped. I don't even know where the places are on the map. 5) WHAT SHOULD I DO? Am I always supposed to capture objectives? Am I supposed to just run around killing people I see? Since no one is working as a squad right now, I'm kind of just spawning, running towards an objective, and killing everyone I can on my way there. | ||

Since no one is working as a squad right now, I'm kind of just spawning, running towards an objective, and killing everyone I can on my way there. 1) Conquest works like this. The more points you have, the faster your opponents points detract. So when you have the most points, they will lose points faster than you. Kills also retract from points, but not enough to justify going around and killing people. Points are NUMBER ONE priority. 2) Yes, you are always supposed to stick with your squad. No matter what. At all times. On any map. I am doing multiple periods to emphasize this. STICK WITH YOUR DAMN SQUAD. This is NOT a lone wolf game. 3) It's a weird system, but it just takes time to get used to. 4) Spawn on your squad. If they are doing jack shit, join another squad. If everyone is doing jack shit or all squads are full, spawn on a point and go do something productive with non-squad teammates. 5) Refer to point 1 | ||

Click a server, click join, when it asks for a password leave it blank and hit submit. Do you do this when browsing for servers? I tried this and still get no server results when I'm looking for Caspian Borders. | ||

I'm not exactly sure as I'm a BF beginner myself but I think that by defending a captured point, you're already having an impact on the game. I normally just hang around contested points as an engineer and try to blow tanks up/repair friendly tanks. On October 01 2011 01:09 lazymej wrote: Do you do this when browsing for servers?

1) It's a conquest, yeah. The more objectives you hold the faster the opponents score goes down. Dying also decreases the score but the capture points drain it much faster. Yes, you spawn at capture points, on your squad, on radio beacons or at the start of the map. 2) If you're playing with friends staying with your squad is important. If you're playing with random people staying with your squad can help but the lack of communication and coordination really screws up the system. Sure, stay with your squad. If they're doing a good job. 3) Bullet drop from a sniper rifle at 100 meters.. I'm not sure at the exact rates but even assault rifles shouldn't have bullet drop at 100 meters. 5) Yes, capture the objectives. In Rush, blow up the objectives or defend the objectives. And kill people. You're doing it right. Get to know the maps so you can more effectively kill people at the objectives while more of your team moves up. | ||

 Got a couple of questions some kind person whos played could answer though. 1) What weapons are available right at the start? 2) If its available in the beta, is the G3 any good? 3) Have they got rid of the retarded damage indication from BC2, im talking about when your really injured and the screen looks like theres a thin layer of frosted glass in front of it, all blurry. It wasnt so bad in core but in hardcore you didnt regen so it never went away. It didnt bother me because it was harder to aim, it fucked with my eyes and gave me headaches, i had to suicide if i got badly injured in HC. Please tell me that silly shit is gone. | ||

Everytime I tried to start the multiplayer it said connection was lost to EA online. Guess I'll just try again next week lol. For xbox just keep spamming A on multiplayer and you'll eventually get into a game. That's what I did. | ||
