Battlefield 3

[snappahead]

being playing on pc !!

This game looks amazing.
sure there is problems (IT'S A BETA PEOPLE) But I know they will fix it all.

I cannot stop playing this game.
It feels like a real war. the sounds are amazing.

I am going to download the xbox and ps3 versions to compare it.

Nice to hear some positive feedback. Too much complaining going on in other forums.

I agree about the sentiment too. I'm starting t think this is a pretty old build. There's too many glitches and bugs happening for me to believe otherwise. Players clipping through the ground, can't sprint glitch, weird flashes on screen, bodies flying through the air when killed...I could go on. Not the usual polish on a Dice title.

Playing the beta for the last 2 hours on PS3, i love it.

It needs some work, bullet damage should be lowered a bit as its easy to die

My biggest and only real gripe is that each team has its own weapons set, you switch from using M16 to a AK gun. I hate AK and dont want to be forced to use it.

In COD and especially BC2 you can choose whatever guns you want.

Played a full match.

Weapons seems tad powerful (compared to normal FPS) but more realistic which is fine. Also not knowing a Mao always make weapons feel more powerful since you have no idea where things are coming from or what angles are wide open.

Once I got a feel for an area I did much better.

The forced weapons seems odd but could be a beta thing but then it's also again more realistic. Never made sense when you have say a Russian team running with US weapons. It's like halo you get to use the weapons of your team. If looked like you can pickup the weapon you prefer.

It's not just like BC2 but seemed fairly close IMO.

Tried to play it at lunch time and after about 15 mins I lost connection with the servers. No problems with the weapons but I hated the character models of the guys that killed me. They all had these big eyes like those people on Lonnie's Japanese anime porn.

I guess so huh? Hehe Well, here's some more good.

I finally got the beta loaded and had a couple matches. It feels fantastic. I dont know what anyone's complaining about, the controls feel awesome and the action is fast and furious. The guns look and sound terrific, thou I agree with Nova and also have the ak-74. The recoil is brutal and the irons are terrible IMO. It'll be ok once you unlock some stuff though. The sound is amazing. Even better than BC2. There's a greater sense of space and variety now and you can really feel like you're in a fight wit guys shooting close and far.

I actually love the new parkour system. It takes a minute to figure it, but once you do, youll be vaulting over everything with ease. I only got stuck a couple times at first, but now im cruising.

The prone feels good and is certainly handy to get out of harms way, I just have that people are going t abuse it to camp in corners or just plain hide right in front of you which got me more than once.

Anyways, I'm now convinced this is an old build. Too many obvious bugs. I'm playing on the 360 right now and I've noticed (often) that bullet streaks get stuck in the air. The tracers that you shoot. It's a bizare and jarring bug that can't be missed. No way that's in a retail game.

I'll probably try this version out too. Curious to see how much of a difference there is. I'm set up for online gaming wit my 360 (friends, headset,controller) so the PS3 version will have to be drastically better for me to bother with it.

Parkour in the sense of what, the jumping over obstacles has become more involved than BC2.

I excited to see how the destruction system will play out during the matches, if it will make anymore of a difference than what we had in BC2.

How does it look compared to BC2, I'm at work

Yeah, just in the way you vault over stuff and your feet/legs swing out in front of you. Te way you go prone and stand up all has great animation that makes you feel more like you're the character.

This map sucks for destruction. The last base has some big buildings you can blow big holes in, but you can't level them. The destruction will be just as big a part of this game as it was in BC though. On this map, you can blow holes in a lot of walls. Cover can be destroyed. Trees get knocked down. Everything BC had, but more detailed, specific destruction and better looking.

Its too bad so many are dismissing the game already, but chances are, the BF players won't miss them. The game feels perfect to me even in this beta. I can't see how a BC2 fan doesn't love this. It feels just like BC2 but with smoother, better controls and movement. The button layout is identical and I was having a blast after just a couple minutes. It felt totally natural.

Anyone here know when the Caspian Border map gets unlocked for the beta?
There are hints that there going to unlock it for the masses some time down the line but there not giving a date.

What? No ____? Fine, be that way.

As far as I know, the Caspian Border in the beta is just a rumor. I haven't seen any confirmation from EA. I hope it happens though. I'd love to get my Conquest on in that map.

 

[snappahead]

Wow, you can't even say ____ on this board? Ruined my whole joke.

it must be an old build, the first time i spawned, i spawned in a rock and had to suicide

sometimes there will be a purple screen for a few miliseconds, and i've died and fell through the map a few times too

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

How long is the beta expected to run?

It is true about the CB map, it did leak really quick then was closed again but many folks played it
