Battlefield 3 Beta Feedback & DICE on Balancing and Changes to Beta

"We here at MP1st hope many of you are enjoying the early access to the Battelfield 3 Beta. We know the rest of the world will on the 29th." - MP1st

I'm loving the beta, but I wish more people played the objective.

FIX THE DAMN TEAM CHAT IN PS3 BETA! this is a team game, and in-game chat is not working!

FunkMcnasty5365d ago

The game plays very well and is loads of fun, even with only one map and one game type. My only concern is that, graphically, it seems very far behind some of the console multiplat benchmarks for graphics this generation. Of course we knew it would look NOWHERE NEAR as amazing as the PC version, but with a new game engine and given that BFBC2 looked great on consoles, I was a bit surprised to find low texture resolutions in many places, last-gen looking character models, and jaggies everywhere. The lighting looks great though.

I don't know much about what can be done post-beta to fix those textures, or if they can only patch glitches and errors post-beta? Does anyone really know if this is what the final product will look like on Ps3/360 in terms of graphics?

Please don't tell me that BF3 is "all about gameplay" and "who cares about graphics." I know it's about gameplay, and that, so far is not my concern as i think it feels better than previous BF console games. I was just expecting something at least ON PAR with BC2, but I honestly think that the beta seems to share the same graphics with MoH.

idk about u but the graphics are way better then moh and bc2 mp. yes there are low res textures in some places and character models look like shit. btw they have kept graphics low because of the beta client size issues. So the final version will indeed be better and more beautiful then the beta. My main concern is the lag.

thanks man. I didn't know that they scaled down the graphics that much for a beta, but I feel much better knowing that it won't look as it does upon final release.

Other than that, I didn't notice any lag issues or hit detection issues (which I've also heard complaints about). I did happen to fall through the floor of the map once or twice and on one of the grassy knolls outside of the metro area was vibrating/tremoring when I was in prone position, but those are the glitches I expected to see in the beta.. I just wasn't sure about the graphics

Hufandpuf5365d ago

Yeah If the graphics and textures were at the highest resolution, the size of the beta would have most likely increased about 1.5 gbs

FAGOL5365d ago

Well the BC2 beta looked rubbish when compared to the actual BC2 full game. I think it was port valdez in the beta. In the full game everything looked better in general.

Hufandpuf5365d ago

The 870mcs shotgun is amazing, but it is a little op because it has a good firing rate. Glitches aside, I don't see as many people placing health or going after objectives like bfbc2 . Revives has become less common also, maybe because the assault kit doesn't look like the medic type. I like each class is effective at going out enemies, no one is really at a disadvantage in a 1pm 1 firefight. I'm also loving the detachable scopes on the sniper rifles.

FAGOL5365d ago

I haven't read up on how the kits have changed. Is the assault kit now medic aswell?

Hufandpuf5365d ago

Yeah, they can give out ammo and Revive people.

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

XiNatsuDragnel514d ago

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

anast513d ago

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

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

Knightofelemia1299d ago

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

MadLad1299d ago

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