Default My first impression (PC)

I'm sorry if there's some special place on this forum where posts like this should go instead of here. Got the game today, and after some hours of playing these are my first thoughts;

The command rose is very hard to use effectively. I would much rather it be like in BF2 where all commands were on screen so I wouldn't have to bury myself in the tree structure. Also it should be press-and-hold, and preferably mouse sensitive. That yellow marker is a good idea though.

This leap function is nice, but I don't like that you can only use it when this hand-symbol appears. This makes it impossible to get past some obstacle in the way without having to move around it. The leap should just happen by the press of a button, like in Arma 2.

Then there is the classic whine about no free look when driving. This is just laughable. Reminds me of the good old Test Drive series and Stunts, lol. Shouldn't be too hard to put in seeing how the passangers have free look.

I suddenly found myself firing grenades instead of bullets at one point. Quite annoying. To have an indicator in the corner of the screen (even if it is hardcore) would be good, seeing how you would just look at the weapon in real life if you weren't sure.

Can't think of anything else right now...alot of good stuff too though just to have said that, but no need to mention them as you shouldn't mess around with things that work

Not really a impression thread but a complaint thread.
But I do agree with all your points though, except the grenade part that I never experienced yet.

If you're not in Hardcore mode, there is an indicator. Tells you what ammo is loaded, and the ROF.
