Battlefield 3 Beta is fun

Battlefield 3 is the new battlefield game that everyone is talking about but a lot of people seem to hate the beta, why is that?

i was disappointed to be honest, i hope it's an early build

fluffydelusions5338d ago

Agreed. Didn't really feel like BF

gravemaker5338d ago

its because you never played Caspian Border

flankhim5338d ago

Its ok i will still get it. Just wish they put vehicles and a better map. I hate rush mode too. I need conquest!

Hellsvacancy5338d ago

I didnt like it to begin with but im REALLY likin it now, im just.................BORED of the Metro map "gimme a new map Dice!"

gamingdroid5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

I didn't like it either, apart from the nasty bugs (that made the game look like an alpha release), the larger distance just gave people more chance to repeatedly camp and snipe. Despite moving around, people got plenty of one-shot-one kills.

The camera after the kill didn't zoom far out enough to tell me where the killer was either.

It didn't take long before I deleted the beta and played something else.

Did anyone else feel the graphics was jarring and poor? I didn't expect PC visuals here, but man it just didn't look good at all.

The people at DICE that decided to include Metro in the Beta should all get FIRED.

Yi-Long5338d ago

... you want people to enjoy the 'Battlefield experience', so what do you give them? A small rush-map without freedom or vehicles.

Smart move...(!)

health was really low makes the medic health packs more useless

I hope so too, but I don't see why would they give fans an early buyild of the game when they know the pre-order numbers are on the line.

rawrockkillz5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

I think Operation Metro is pretty fun but Caspian Border is a whole other beast. If the other conquest maps are like Caspian Border we are in for quite a treat.

59Martins595338d ago

I've seen a lot of jet footage from caspian border on the pc version and it is awesome!

I can't wait to see what my PS3 can do with that map :D

nightfallinicedearth5338d ago

Waaaay too many campers in the grass/bushes.

ape0075338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

not only that, the game overall feel kinda under developed, hope it's an early build or something or maybe DICE focused on the PC version

59Martins595338d ago

Either you had bad luck or I got really lucky because I can't find people camping in the bushes, sure they go there sometimes but they aren't camping, they are just trying to get some ground...

Do you really see that many campers?

gamingdroid5338d ago

Especially in the hillside because you would walk through the map!

As I pointed out above, it was a most unpleasant experience to repeatedly be sniped and not knowing where it came from with one-shot-one kills.

FragMnTagM5337d ago

I don't have that problem when I have my turtle beaches on. I can tell what direction a bullet came from and about how far it came from unless it is a silenced weapon.

The sound on this game is amazing. It adds a whole other level to the game. BF games have had good sound for a while now, but BF3 takes the cake on sound.

If you have surround sound or turtle beaches, try putting the audio settings on war tapes. It is pure awesomeness for your ears.

I'm having a blast with it. Though I hate that it's Origin exclusive so that means I'll have to buy it from Gamestop. I refuse to buy anything through Origin, but I don't mind using it.

Motorola5338d ago

You still need Origin though.

Kamikaze1355338d ago

You must not have read my post. I said I refuse to buy it through Origin, but don't mind using it.

Thecraft19895338d ago

Its fact its cheaper to buy disc version than pay on origin.

Kamikaze1355338d ago

It's not, but it'll probably force you to open up Origin to use it. Won't it?

Pandamobile5338d ago

So will the retail version.

After this was announced I am no longer buying this game.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio13d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing13d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
