Battlefield 3 MP Beta

I was just curious who has tried it already. i think it is pretty good, there are some glitches that need to be fixed though. the map is huge, i love it. but im hating all the campers in the game. i wonder if it will be worse once the game comes out.

After playing it though, i have decided im getting MW3, im just used to the pace in that game, rushing and all that. but still found it pretty good, probably when i have money ill get this game

 

I tried the Ps3 beta, i don't like it that much, mainly because i;m a battlefield 1942 fan, so i'm not really into realism lol. Plus i don't have any vehicles like jeeps or anything

 

yeah, i feel that they should have put a map that used the vehicles at least to try out how that is

 

I'm absolutely loving the beta, though I agree there is stuff they can fix, which I'm sure will be fixed for the retail version.

 

If you were on PC you could've accessed the Caspian servers.

Fantastic.

But I always liked the infantry combat in BF more than anything else because it feels more visceral, so Metro is a good map for me. I love the game so I can't contribute much besides that it's a bit buggy and there's some graphical errors but I'm sure it'll get touched up for release.

As for pacing and stuff, it's a little different from BC2 so for some it'll be a shock. In terms of movement and feel, it's BF2, but for mechanics and some gameplay, it feels like BC2. BF hasn't played like CoD ever, the only things they share is the modern day aesthetic. Once I unlocked some of the team related stuff like defibrillator the game opens up.

 

Oh god you crack me up

 

so ive been playing alot of the beta. and found out the bugs/glitches are showing up more often than before (on xbox) ive been getting a green flashing screen alot, sometimes changes colors. found out that on the first bombs, on bomb A you can go under the map. sometimes you just fall off the map. Ive become invincible in one game. and another game after spawing i had o% life and kept being hit by noone but still didnt die. sometimes see the bullets stuck on screen (light lines) which cover the whole screen and get so annoying. and a big problem are the freezes or connection errors. I really hope they fix all this , they must fix it, thats the whole point of the beta right?

 

Yeah there's a couple points where you sink into the ground, and I get the blinking lights as well. The beta apparently uses an older build of the game, so bugs are to be expected.
I've been making good use of the Recon class, I took the scope off the Sniper Rifle, used the regular Irons for awhile, and then switched to an ACOG/PSO low power scope, making it a decent designated marksman rifle, and then I just rock out with my glock out for close quarters.

Review by one of my favorite youtubers

 

For an Admin, you sure do a good job of alienating members of your own forum.

 

lol, yeah he does. but i really dont mind its his opinion. he hates CoD, i like it. i respect his opinion in game choice, he should with mine.

 

Well yes, I can respect his opinion, just the way he voices it is outright rude. I happen to like CoD, and I am not a fan of people such as himself insulting fans like myself and others for liking the series and having a different opinion.

 

I'm not asking for people to understand or like my opinion, just respect it. Anyways, I do agree they're all pretty much the same game, yes, I do agree with that. But you know what, have you thought that maybe, just maybe, people ENJOY the games? I still have fun with them, the CoD games have given me many many hours of fun and games with friends, or even just by myself.

 

You can't respect something you don't understand.

 

Sup, welcome to the net.

 

Well its not like I never touch the old ones after the new ones come out, but I go for the new ones because, contrary to your belief, while there isn't a whole lot different from all the previous entries with each new one, each one still offers a fun and exciting new single player campaign, as well as new multiplayer features, and of course everybody else is going to be going for the new one.

Anyways... To get back on topic, I read that the purpose of this beta is mainly to check the whole "My Soldier" and game statistics thing, and that it uses an older build of the game, hence the bugs and graphics.

 

So... I need Origin? alright then
