Battlefield 3

[Statue Seeker]

It's been confirmed that bullet damage is like CoD now. 3 or 4 bullets. The servers are just a bit laggy right now. That's where the feeling of one shot deaths is coming from. I'm sure you notice that its not instant kills when you shoot people. I think that's why they added all that recoil. To balance out the new bullet damage.

I dont think it was a good idea on their end. It plays way to much like MOH

Damm people its a Beta, its not a finished product.

Footage looked good to me.

Hopefully it still has that BF feel and hasn't become a BF/MW mixture.

That's exactly it, it doesn't...for now.

We know. We are commenting on how bad the beta is.

I haven't played it yet, but it sure doesn't look like it's going to be another MOH. I personally thought MOH felt fine though...it was just everything else that sucked.

It would be nice to know if this is an old or new build. Some are speculating that it's probably an older build and the retail version will be better all around, but who knows. The may jus be wishful thinking. I will reserve judgement until I've played for a while. I still believe this game is going to be epic. I know they also have a closed beta of the Caspian Border map going on for select PC gamers. I hear that has been fantastic. I maintain that this Metro map was a bad choice and could cost them in the end.

In two hours, six minutes, we can all download and play, no? Am I mistaken?

Probably not according to Australia time. Most likely in 9 hours at the earliest (PST)

 

[Grosby]

Yeah, you're right, my mistake, I was misreading an article and took PM as AM. If this article below is not wrong there's 14 hours to go (at least for me).

If anyone else cares to know their local time for release, they're given here:

Wait is it public? I thought it was to MOH purchases only.

I'm not completely up on all these things, but I think MOH just gave early access, with the code or whatever you could play for two days earlier than everyone else. The two days are almost up now though and so soon the demo will be available to everyone.

I just played the beta again for about an hour. I can't get into it. It is pretty bad in my opinion. I pray the final game isn't like this. I know it's a beta but it feels so bare bones to me. Surely since the release of the actual game is so close this beta has to be a good example of the final game right? If so, it's pretty bad.

It probably feels barebones because it is. The map is straight forward and somewhat narrow and theres no vehicles and buildings to blow up. Plus, you and everyone else don't have much of the cool gear unlocked yet. Gve it time. If you're a BF fan, this game will rule.

Something I find out about that could be a problem. The recon kit has this device. I can't remember the name, but it's basically a tactical insertion like the one in CoD. Now, this thing could be a huge factor. Imagine sneaking around to the back of a base and throwing this thing down. Even if you're killed, you'll spawn in the back of the base every time. Talk about free kills. You'll see the enemy's back more than their front. Dog tags galore.

Or... a guy putting one down in the base the defenders just lost. Now, he'll be spawning behind the attackers. If he's got people to spawn on him, there's a whole squad camping you now. Kill all of them, the recon respawns in the base again and they can start it all over.

It could be easily abused and im certain it will be.

On the plus side, Im loving the weapon customizations. A bunch of scopes to choose from once you unlock them. The infrared looks awesome. It looks like you can just use them too. You don't have to sacrifice a useful skill to use the RDS or whatever. I always hated that in BC2.

True, i suppose if guys only played one map of MW3 with only select weapons on one game mode, it would have complaints and concerns too.

Can't wait!

Absolutely. Imagine playing TDM on the same map over and over. Plus, the one map is a bad one. At least for the mode that's available. Metro might acually be good for tdm or Cnquest, but it stinks for Rush. Too flat and too many bottlenecks. And to make it worse, not having any vehicles in a Battlefield match is a lot like playing CoD without killstreaks. It can still be fun, but it's not the same.

I'm a BF nutzoid but the funny part is that I haven't played COD/MW for so very long, skipped the last few, that i'm actually looking forward to playing both BF3 and MW3

 

[snappahead]

I envy you then. You'll be fresh for MW3 and probably enjoy it more than most hehe.

I'll be getting MW3 but more out of habit than interest TBH. It's going to be good for what it is. I don't doubt that. But it'll also be more of the same for better or worse. You won't notice though, so it's a win for you!

Im still super stoked for BF3 though. Itll be nice to finally give it a play tomorrow, but I know what m getting in the beta, isn't a very good representation of the full game.

My gut feeling is telling me that BF3 is going to be awesome and better than BC2 Multiplayer.

Even if just as good as BC2 multiplayer, it's already a WIN for me.

BC2 hands down destroyed any other FPS multiplayer, military or sci-fi, doesn't matter.

BC2 was crazy fun and addictive, hope the same for BF3.

Ummm, bring it.
