Well I guess I will get this started and list some of the bugs/glitches I have encountered as well as some of my opinions of certain aspects of the game. I was thinking to compile what I think and what others think before submitting my feedback to DICE/EA.
Bugs/Glitches:
- Ground Clipping: Im sure everyone has seen this already, go prone in the park on operation metro and you can sometimes clip through the ground, which can be easily exploited.
- Animation glitches: Occasionally characters are shown with really twisted arms, etc.
- Effect glitches: The blue color cast of the menu sometimes pervades into the actual game.
- Zoom/Aim down the sights gets stuck sometimes and doesnt work, must switch weapons and back before being able to zoom.
- Hit detection seems hit or miss. This may be a lag related issue or a hitbox type issue, but I have seen times where I have shot a close range opponent 4 times in the chest, seen the hit indicator pop up multiple times, get killed, then watch as they still have 100% health in the kill cam (may also be a kill cam health glitch). In addition, there are times where seemingly random single shots seem to kill when they shouldnt (although, those might just be good/lucky headshots). After playing a little more, I think this is lag or netcode related, as I saw myself get shot, but didnt have the hit register on me for maybe half a second, which is a huge amount of time.
- Connection issues. Random disconnects from servers, seeming to happen more often at the end of rounds, stats/unlocks not saved.
- Random screen flashing
- Keyboard became unresponsive, game didnt recognize any keypresses. Occured after a round change. May have been due to to trying to type as the round ended and the typing dialog remaining open during round change. Had to alt-tab out and close.
Annoyances/Feedback
- Must enter a server and deploy into the game before being able to access the menu to change any settings. This is incredibly annoying. I think the menu and settings should be accessible from anywhere inside the game.
- As with the above, cant exit the game until you are deployed in the field, cant exit from the summary screen at the end of rounds either, must join into the game and deploy again before being able to exit.
- Graphics settings still appear to do nothing, there appears to be no difference between low and ultra (I am almost positive this will work in the final game and is only locked to keep things simple for the time being).
- The loadout screen is greatly improved since alpha. It is nice to be able to change your loadout from the deployment screen, but it would be nice to be able to customize the weapons and loadout from there as well without having to click through another submenu or two.
- The flashlight seems a bit too overpowering up close. Additionally, I think the flashlight should be off by default and up to the player to turn on, not the other way around as it currently stands.
- Squad selection is horrible. Currently there is no way to view the squads or select the squad you want to be in. The only options so far are leave current squad, and find squad. Find squad just automatically finds you a squad, which more often than not is the squad you just left.
- Battlelog isnt fully integrated with origin. They say that you are automatically friends in battlelog with your origin friends but this is clearly not the case. Considering origin is required, it would be nice to be able to have it more fully integrated (I am assuming this is again a beta issue that will be fixed in the final version)
Well its late and im tired and im sure there is more, I can update this post as more people add if people want.
Also I realized after posting and editing a bit that this might not be the purpose of this thread exactly, just thought they were similar. And wanted to get my thoughts into one place, sorry if this is not the right thread for this.
