Man I wish I was in :( I was on the short bus apparently when hearing about how to get in on the closed beta. I'll find a way

DrFUD5356d ago

I thought the beta sucked :(

cyborg69715356d ago

Or was it cause you sucked at the beta?

CloseSecond5356d ago

I think the beta was pretty average from a visuals perspective. Its looks more like BC2.1 than a complete upgrade to the frostbite engine.

JellyJelly5356d ago (Edited 5356d ago )

I'm a huge BFBC 2 fan and I wasn't as impressed either. The graphics look worse than I expected (especially the first outdoors area you play) and the level design isn't very good imo.

I played a couple of rounds and ended up as #1 on my team in the last, so it wasn't me sucking that made me not liking it.

Still, I think the final product will be different.

I just can't get into metro. I just really don't like rush. If you want to see what battlefield is SUPPOSED to be than here you go. this gives me so much reassurance that this isn't bc3. glad it's still the same old conquest

same name on origin if you want to squad up sometime

SOD_Delta5356d ago

I agree DrFUD, I didn't like it neither.

consolez_FTW5356d ago (Edited 5356d ago )

@ DrFud

I totally agree with you man. As for as I'm concerned, this is a step backward from BC2. As a person who spent 400+ hours on BC2 and is rank 50 I'm considering cancelling my pre order now. The controls are CODish(ironic considering the EA trash talk), the assault rifles have no accuracy past about 15ft. and CAMPING! the amount of camping in BF3 is insane. everybody uses that same sniper.It's impossible to kill a sniper across the map with a assault rifle. At this point I may just cancel BF3 and stick with BC2. but I'll see if my experience can Somehow improve.
-end rant, sorry just extremely dissapointed.
I hope this issues can be fixed, more balance basically. Plus the glitches.

JellyJelly5356d ago

I don't agree with the controls and recoil, which I think are great, but man, THE CAMPERS. There's a lot of them. At one point during my play (2nd are) our team couldn't even enter the cave like entrance because the campers took us out.

Ser5356d ago

Holy cow! The Battlefield haters are out in force tonight.

I'm enjoying the beta. There are some minor annoyances that need some tending, but aside from microscopic details, I'm having a good time.

Can't wait for the full game.

I think the PS3 beta is pretty awesome. I love it.

CloseSecond5356d ago (Edited 5356d ago )

NOTE: My comments are aimed at the visuals and not the gameplay.

Damn it. That's my reaction to the PS3 beta for BF3. I was really hoping the visuals we're going to receive a major overhaul from BC2.

Jaggy shadows, low res textures, no player shadow, floating bushes (crawl under one and you'll see what I mean) poor player animation are all orders of the day. Honestly, what is with that awful animation of the gun leaning when you're looking down the scope and you move left or right. Is the gun really that top heavy???

The game is NOT broken and even though BC2 was no graphical feast I still clocked up over 200 BC2 MP hours on PS3. However, the multiplayer game is essentially the same graphically but with more animations and a new menu system.

I know I'll get heaps of disagrees for these comments but I have to admit I was hoping for a hell of a lot more. Not PC more but more than what we have ended up with. Oh, and yes I know its just a beta but like most betas, it will be pretty indicative of the end result minus the glitches.

TitanUp5356d ago

don't know what version you guys are playing but the pc version freaking rocks it feels a mix between bf2 and bfbc2 and the visuals are stunning and they are going to get even better with the full release

CloseSecond5356d ago

This is an article about the PS3 version.

Anyway, I am so over the beta on PS3 already. The graphics are just so under whelming.

You know, Sony proclaimed that HD gaming only starts with the PS3 (pre launch hype). Nothing about the PS3 beta makes me believe HD is even possible on PS3. Jaggies and low res textures are everywhere. Screen tearing and I doubt its a sustained 30fps.

I know my comments will get hit with disagrees but after playing KZ2, KZ3 and the recent uncharted 3 beta I expect more.

Will now get this game on PC.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel504d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast504d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223504d ago (Edited 504d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1290d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1289d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
