Yep, total shit. I've played it all and it's total rubbish that I would trade in right now if I would ever actually pay for it. |

Cheaters in the retail game is one thing, but does it really make sense to ban them because of a beta??? The whole point is to find glitches and plug the holes so you'd think they'd almost be thanking them. |

I agree with Blitz, BF3 has to be played in its entirely original style, on a big ass map with vehicles, and some form of team play not some wild haphazard style of run n gun in a tunnel. So many people just bag this out without realising its just a beta.. its bound to be buggy and have issues... Though in saying that doesn't leave much hope with 30 days out from beta to final release should any issues or fixes be required. Also, those people who likely will complain and instantly bag it out wouldn't likely buy it anyway, they'll be the MW fan club or Halo fans who just immediately will find a flaw in it regardless and not really play it beyond 10mins or 20mins. In any case I played (the beta) it and I got bored of it since its only one map and its also pointless ranking myself up too far only to lose those stats anyway, but I tend to play it for an hour or two here and there with or without friends. It does seem better than the other games and more realistic effects, sounds etc etc. I'll still play it since I enjoy BFBC2 in multi, haven't even touched the story side and at the end of the day its basically the only multi fps shooter I'd play on PC anyway, not much else worthy of playing in similar fashion. |

DICE responds to beta whingers http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-10-07-dice-explains-battlefield-3-beta-decisions Lol, complaining about bugs in the beta... The trouble is, as has been pointed out before here and elsewhere, people just don't unrstand what a beta is, mainly cause the term gets thrown around so much these days it's lost any meaning; cod betas that are actually demos, the whole "home beta" debacle And then you have games like GT5, which as a slightly amusing journo on games radar pointed out, has been in beta since it's retail release and gets it's full release next week.... Lol |

Best way to get a game is to go to the MP section and setup the filters. Select Oceania and Caspian Border, then use the quick match button |

Played a few matches on the 64 player map tonight. for some reason the matches where over very quickly (perhaps poor team balancing, as most of the flags where with one team most of the time). It didn't feel quite as "involved" as I remember battlefield of old, but then maybe it's just cause they where my first games on the map and I had no idea where the fuck I was going ... Graphics are quite nice, played smooth with most settings on ultra - but on full ultra I was getting a weird glitch where the screen flashed white every few seconds. I tried the 360 demo as well. Lag city, to the point that it was unplayable - and seemed to be affecting everyone. Looked absolute crap compared to the PC version as well. |

That flashing white seems to happen to Necris and myself as well, we both noticed that, though with mine I thought it was more in the starting countdown where I turned to look around a certain spot would cause it to flash. Then noticed it a lot more frequently in the game throughout. So the console one was laggier than the PC? After reading your last post Blue I just had a memory pop in about a desert map from BF2 one from memory had a battleship out in the ocean not far off with jets and choppers on it (boats too) and you had to capture the flag/bases on the island. Cant recall the name of it but I remember I loved that map. Edit: found it Gulf of Oman.Dragon Valley was also cool I'd get the chopper at the southern most base (the two horizontal lines) and fly it through the canyon/valley taking out people in low swoops. ![]() Those were the days... Thouroughly enjoyed BF2 and all its expansions - Special Forces, Euro Force and Armed Fury, specially with the Warthog, Little Bird and the Harrier jets. Was reading through the BF2 Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2 forgot how the game looked, and the commander role screen. Anyway, heres hoping BF3 will actually be like the second or at least better, though not sure how the campaign will play out, since BF2 never had one so Im guessing it'll be short n sweet type of thing focussing on multiplayer in the end.

The console version lag was stupid. I connected to two or three different games, each time everyone was stuck at the spawn, teleporting back every time they took a few steps. I emptied a clip into the scenery, then magically sucked all the bullets back into my gun. No appreciable lag on PC though (i could blame lag for my deaths, but it was more likely down to me sucking). See, those maps are what bf is about. I've read that one of the maps has you starting at the top of a cliff, and you have to either chopper or para down to the capture point. That sounds more like it. I think the campaign is going to be cod meets graw (more for the HUD/interface, from what I've seen). Certainly I think they're aiming to be a cod beater in both SP and MP. |

Not sure about SP in this, they've never really done a SP story campaign before, BF2 and 2142 was all about multi only. |

Loving the 64 player maps. Loving the jets as well. Choppers are like they were in BF2. That map sounds awesome Blue. I always loved the aircraft carrier maps in BF2 though, wonder if they'll do anything similar |

interesting blue, at the start console was horrible, but a few days ago they made changed to the servers and they've been flawless. however I've played a total of 15 min out of 2 hours without lag on the PC version... |

Weird. Must have been the time I played. Well, guess that's what a beta is for ![]() Must admit, even though I spent most of my time in the few matches i played either getting shot from fuck knows where or running towards an objective point and getting lost, I'm looking forward to the full release. |
