My last entry ranted on over a few problems that I had with the demo, and like an idiot I complained about the lag. The lag has now been resolved and I have a few days with completely lag free play. However, the more you play it, the more things you notice. Do not get me wrong, I still like the demo; however I still wish it was in Beta.

Let me clarify that. I hope they listen to the feedback and act on it. They are still some surprising things that are lacking in the game, whether through bad design or just plain not putting it in. Here is a list I have constructed that makes me sound like a whiney *female dog*:

Squads: Some many people have been completing about squads, and I am inclined to agree. I am not too fussed about the four player cap, however where is the ability to change squads or create a squad, or even talk outside the squad. I got stuck with a non-English speaking team, which did not work at all. Another complaint is that teams created in the lobby, get spilt up, sometimes into different teams.

Stats: When you want your stats, you usually are able to find them easily (and in get detail.) That has been a staple of Battlefield games from the very beginning, and it sounds like they are going to implement an online service, similar to Halo 3s. However, when you have a menu option that said state, you do not expect the only option to be a leaderboard.

Ranking issues: This is just a minor one, however when I ranked up to level 3, I did not get a credit. I did not mind too much for the demo, however if there is 25 unlocks and 25 level, missing a unlock is not going to go out well at all.

Spiriting: Infinity spiriting is just a pain. Trying to knife someone is almost damn imposable; if they are run, as they do not stop.

Vehicle controls: Please give me a few more options. The default controls feel awfully weird.

I could go on, however that would just be idiot. I do not usually express such concern over a game, however it does so much right, and these faults are glaring. I do not mind bad game design. I am one of those suckers that like Assassin's Creed. However, when the design flaw is the difference between win and losing, it starts to grind a bit. DICE has been very good about patching battlefield games in the past, lets see if they do it again.

Feel free to post this on the EA demo feedback board. I would, however my EA account is not working for some reason.
