1: Nobody plays their fucking class. I run across a battlefield, revive my fallen comrade, drop him a med pack only to be shot down myself and have 2 different assualt chaps run past my bleeding corpse without so much as a look. U get points for playing ur class so frakking do it.
I think this may be people new to BF, hopefully they'll figure it out soon. I've had trouble getting people to give me ammo. I stand in front of a support guy, and keep pressing request ammo, but they just mission off. I think once more people get to know how the game works, it'll get better. It would help to play with some people you know, and you can chat to and actually ask for some ammo/health
2: Yes its alot of fun driving around in a tank and blasting everything to kingdom come, and this is more a criticism towards the devs, give those not in the tank someway of balancing the damn match. Yes I know u can play engineer and its all good fun but Where are the remote det packs or something. I guess this again comes down to please not playing their class.
You can unlock C4 and Mortar strikes with the support class. The engineer gets RPG's and AT mines
3: Team play. I guess this is what happens when you play with random ppl off the net. What ever happen to assaulting a location as a squad or waiting for someone to reach ur jeep before you race off.
Much better to get some locals on your friends list and get a party chat going with your squad. The local guys that I've met seem to play their classes and play as a team much better than the random people you find online.
Again, might get better when the people new to BF get to know how it should be played
4: Last but not least this is something all MP games can learn from Bungie and Halo, a skill system that matches players of similar skill levels is NEVER a bad idea. Go play any games and you will start off next to noobs just like you and as you progress you enemies will become ever more challenging, this makes the game alot more approachable to new players. I was facing off against guyz lvl 30 +, Im havent played a mp game in months and months, just look at my k/d. The game should see this and match me with other newbies. Getting killed over and over by someone 5 times your level is little to no fun.
That would be nice, and it is possible that they try do that, but at the moment it seems like the servers are so full that it just puts you in wherever it can find a space for you. Maybe that'll get better once there are more servers and the just released rush dies down a little bit
