The alpha's ending on the first, so go play BF2 and remember what BF was like before all the call of duty influences

NUNYA! all maps and =FART= Mashtuur are great NA servers that are full almost 24/7

I was mostly referring to the gunplay of CoD, which has pretty obvious influences in BC2 and BF3. BF2 weapons are harder to use and a lot less deadly, slows down the gameplay so there's more time to take cover and play strategically

Are there 3 parts to the demo map or 4? I've played quite a bit now and I've yet to see any team get past the 2nd pair of objectives. Maybe it's just easier for uncoordinated teams on defense than offense.

I absolutely despise how call of duty-ish the damage is in this game. It greatly reduces the differences between weapons and gives campers way too much of an advantage. In the past battlefield games, if you could kill someone as he was running from cover to cover, you had to have pretty good aim and recoil control. In this alpha...not so much. The weapon damage feels more suited for a hardcore mode than a normal mode.

we got CoD itself, spraying half a mag at once in BF3 is the most common tactic and it really doesn't take much skill at all

Yeah! How dare DICE make weapons that feel deadly instead of like paintball guns! You guys wanted a "realistic" battlefield game because COD is too arcady, you got one.

If I wanted a realistic game I'd play Arma. High weapon damage just encourages camping and makes it harder to use aggressive tactics. It probably won't be as big of an issue in conquest mode since your opponents won't know which direction you're attacking from and won't be set up in an unassailable camping spot, but I still dislike it. It seems like the damage model was made for console shooters, where landing more than 4 shots with a controller requires you to surprise your opponent, so they just up the damage to Call of Duty levels to compensate. If I wanted weapons with damage this high, I'd play hardcore mode. But hey, maybe it's just a strange combination of the netcode, the spotting system, and the lowered recoil instead. I'm pretty sure the guns in Counter-Strike killed in fewer hits, yet somehow people drop so much easier in this game than that one.
