How about:
1) No queue for full servers.
2) Inability to choose your squad.
3) Sound randomly turning on and off.
4) Small rocks stop you in your tracks.
5) People shooting through rocks.
6) Parachuting out of jets at high altitude = die within 10 seconds even though you're within map boundaries.
7) LMB doesn't deploy EOD bot (for me). Doesn't matter if I hold onto LMB. Doesn't matter if the hologram is not red.
8) Damavand Peak: whoever holds Tunnel wins. Especially if one idiot on your team hovers the chopper over spawn all game. The entire enemy team goes prone and snipes from the dark in tunnel = spawn + die. rinse and repeat.
If any of these can be blamed on my own stupidity, please let me know because I am very upset with this game at the moment.

my thoughts:
1. big problem, briefly fixed in week one, don't know what happened to it
2. it can be done, just not at all intuitive. leave the squad you are in first, click on the squad you want to be in, tiny little join button shows up at the bottom
3. that sucks, hasn't happened to me at all
4. inconsistency in jumping over stuff sucks, but i haven't found it to be a big problem
5. haven't encountered it since beta
6. i've spent a lot of time in jets and haven't once experienced what you describe
7. can't say i've had that problem either, deploying is a little too finicky at times but i always manage to get my eod, soflam, tugs, beacon, or mav out in a pretty timely matter
8. love it or hate it map, i like it in a 24/7 server where everyone is there to play that map specifically. people seem to play it a lot smarter. in full rotations a good chunk of players just seem to check out and play what's easy (closest two points to friendly uncap) just waiting for the next map.
overall i'm pretty happy currently but still looking forward to the patch
1)Agree
2)Well, you can, it's just not pretty. Teamwork in this game is at a minimum anyway.
3)Doesn't happen to me. Have you updated your sound drivers recently?
4)Agree
5)Shooting through mountain sides is worse right now, especially when you can't shoot them back.
6)I can't fly for shite, so I'll take your word for it. Until I figure out how to get my controller working with this game I won't be flying.
7)No clue
8)If you hold the tunnel, that typically means you hold 3 areas out of 5, in which you "should" win. Working as intended.
We've all had bad days (look at my Win / Loss ratio, worst in the entire clan) so I can understand. But remember, it's just a game.

Thanks forty and frost.
- I'll hunt around for that squad join button. I know there's not much teamwork, but when your entire squad consists of 1 idiot jumping around in spawn like he just discovered the internet today, you kinda want to join another.
- I'll try to update my sound drivers. More clarification: it happens most when I'm in a vehicle as a gunner. Outside sound just shuts off, all I hear is that scope sound when I RMB.
- forty: the jet's issue, I suspect it's because I fly too high. There's probably a vertical "map boundary".
- I can deploy all the other gadgets except EOD. Will try more in a bit.
- frost: I trained my flying skills in BC2. And one tip I'll give you is... use keyboard only. Flip the control for "Up" and "Down" keys. It's much more intuitive (IMO).
Yeap, it's just a game, I know. My life isn't affected by it, I just expected less bugs for all the Alpha/Beta testing that was done!

most of the time i have had random suicides is when the auto-balance the server and i get switched to the other team. the other times i either jumped off a cliff (caspian) when injured or been in the wrong place at the wrong time (propane tanks being blown up)

/facepalm.
That's either 1) he was asking about the Karkand patch or 2) for consoles. It has been confirmed for next week for PC. FACT.

1) There are queues, seen a few servers with it. We just don't have it, probably costs extra or you gotta be a DICE employee or something, lol.
3) I get this a lot too, don't feel alone. Also my weapon disappears a lot. Do you have a strong rig? Mines right near the minimum requirements, so I assume its just not being able to keep up. Someone else mentioned that they crash every round. Hehe, I do too, it'll be like 4 crash after every round, then ill get a nice 5 round streak b4 the crash. Assume its cuz of the above mentioned. I also get green flashes a lot.
4) Yup, no foe greater than random pebble/downed streetlight. In the words of van halen, "jump"
5) Rocks from destructions? Yea
6) I tend to fall into propellers when leavin helis, dunno about this....get sucked into the intake...i saw a video of that once....seems plausible...

Being hit by falling debris like pieces of buildings.
There needs to be a bunch of weapon balancing including:
1) Nerf the F2000
2) Increase damage of the SMAW RPG and Javelin. Tired of firing 4-5 rockets into the back or side of a tank.
3) Nerf Mortars either their reload time, or ammo amount.
4) Give snipers more ways to earn class points. Make the T-UGS get motion assists currently only the MAV gives this. T-UGS is useless.
5) Move claymores to the sniper class.
6) Fix it so if I die after shooting a rocket the rocket doesnt disappear.
7) Defib needs to be able to kill again!
It makes sense now. This whole time I thought I was just missing. :facewall:
