BF3 - More On Destruction, Ranking System, Squad Issues & Other Important Beta Info

The Battlefield Beta is receiving a lot of mixed mixed impressions and is dividing the opinions many Battlefield fans. While some are confident in DICE to produce a spectacular Battlefield experience, despite all the bugs and glitches found in the Beta, others are considering cancelling pre-orders, feeling that the game is a hopeless mess.

hate to say it but i told u so everybody

BiggCMan5350d ago

You told nothing. The beta is a very old build, and DICE have already explained that it's nothing like the final build. The game WILL be just like all the trailers everyone has seen, on PC at least. They took out destruction, and toned down the graphics a lot in the beta, therefore things will be much different. Everyone complaining about the beta is just a crying child, and are nitpicking this game to death. The realistic gameplay is what makes this game so much fun, and that's just in the beta, even with a few problems. It will be 10 times better in the full release. People need to quit their bitching.

ironcreed5350d ago

Realistic gameplay? You mean like the flashlights in broad daylight that are so bright that it is like someone opened the Ark of the Covenant in your face?

AllroundGamer5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

one major thing that should be removed in a realistic gameplay - why the fck did they implement vehicle health regeneration???!!! big fail since it screams arcade shooter all over it... also why aren't bodies flying around when killed in a big explosion?...

C_Menz5350d ago

@ironcreed

The kind of tactical lights used by the military can actually temporarily disorient/blind you in daylight in close/mid ranges. Much like how BF3 is, since outside at long ranges it just shows up as a bright light.

DA_SHREDDER5350d ago

Hey Bigg, you got a link to back that up? I have a feeling they were talking about the single player, which I'm sure is leaps and bounds better than the multiplayer. I thought I was getting this game day one, but now I realize these games just aren't worth the price what they are charging for them. It also doesn't pay to buy used these days either cause you end up having to cough up $10 bucks to go online. Regardless, I plan on waiting for price drops on all these games. There are too many games coming out, and are too expensive.

Btw, dont get me wrong, if you got the money then go ahead, spend it. But for the average consumer we look at it like this. The price for one game almost equals the amount to buy a refurbished console from gamespot. You can get a 360 or a Wii for $99 bucks. Do you really think the software is really worth more than half the price of a console? Games shouldn't even be more than $30 bucks. Add or take a little due to quality. Things have been expensive for too long. Its time to fight the power.

DaTruth5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

I keep hearing this: "It's a beta". I'm not basing my dissatisfaction on bugs, I am basing it on critical gameplay issues that will not change. As someone who wasn't planning on buying the game, but was looking to the vehicle combat and destruction, hoping it would be so awesome, I would need to buy it. What I got was an open field with no cover, campers paradise, no destruction and no vehicles that leads to a COD style underground corridor battle!

I would not have bought this game without the beta and there's nothing in the beta to change my mind!

Now they need to release a real demo, to show people what this game is really about, if the beta isn't for that purpose!

Lol comment of the day

evrfighter5350d ago

Lol ya even if it was completely how it should be considering the tac lights are really that bright.

It was still funny.

SneeringImperialist5350d ago

I love how all the BF Fanboys cry hows its just a BETA or how its an early build or somehow dice will fix it, admit it dice dropped the ball on this one too much hype and little bite and this is coming from a massive BF fan!

Mister_V5350d ago

I know I'm repeating myself but I think it's important for everyone to realize that this build is a month behind what DICE is working one right now. So while this Beta is extremely glitchy, I don't think it's a good representation of what the final version will be like. If DICE dropped the ball on anything, I think it's the fact that they are kind of misleading us with this Beta. Might bite them in the ass later.

Anyhow, I know I'm still buyin this game!

Eyesoftheraven5350d ago

@ironcreed The player's who leave their tac lights on in daylight are noobs who don't care to pay attention and just run around blind as if playing Call of Duty lone wolf style. I've spent 4 years in real world training with police and S.W.A.T. those lights are bright as hell under any conditions, but are intended to distract suspects within dark, confined indoor locations while clearing rooms. If more people paid attention within the game world, they'd realize they could even turn the light on and off at will during gameplay.

"I love how all the BF Fanboys cry hows its just a BETA or how its an early build or somehow dice will fix it, admit it dice dropped the ball on this one too much hype and little bite and this is coming from a massive BF fan!"

I love how people like you are saying this. . . BECAUSE OF A BETA! It's almost as if you have the retail copy of the game. Almost. You and others can pretend that BF3 won't be miles better than a certain upcoming FPS. It's not like the truth (It's a BETA) will change your mind either way.

What did you told people??? I think you have no clue what you are talking about.

On topic: The beta for me was fine untill last night. Than all kinds of crap started happening including: Freezing, one-hit-deaths, going into the floor, couldn't join friend, people dissapear from in front of me.

I trust the full game will be much better because to join a friend in the beta is an absolute pain and just takes way to long.

Kleptic5350d ago

well if there is a damage problem attatched you when you are running...this makes a lot of sense, and was something I was seriously confused about...

if i was laying prone defending a com station or something...it seemed like I could get peppered with bullets and remain alive...but when i'm running out doors I would get insta-dropped ALL THE TIME...

and i've definitely fired a 3 shot burst on someone sprinting that instantly takes them down...yet that never kills someone stationary unless its a head shot...

Mister_V5350d ago

@Kleptic, exactly. I've also experienced this exact same thing and I'm sure many others have too. It's good to now we're not going crazy :)

Ares84HU5350d ago

@Kleptic
I noticed that too. I emptied almost the whole mag into someone in prone and only than I killed them but two-three shots usually do it when people stand. Strange....

zeeshan5350d ago

I agree. I too have the same problem. The beta map is a camper's paradise indeed and they don't die easy either but if you are running, you fall like a stone if someone hits you a couple of times and no, I am not talking headshots here.

WANNAGETHIGH5350d ago

Lol @ people saying is just a beta. Last time I checked betas do not magically improve when the game is finally relased. Just admit it this game is overhyped.

AllroundGamer5350d ago

yep, although i'm buying a new gaming rig for this game i think they will polish the game for at least next 3 months through patches... but only a month away from the release it won't look much different like from the beta since there has to be also time to press the discs like circa 2 weeks, so really only 2 weeks for fixing so many bugs will be a big problem...

RustInPeace5350d ago

OF COURSE a beta doesn't improve when the final retail comes out... BECAUSE THE BETA IS OBSOLETE BY THEN! Quit trying to sound like a smart-ass know-it-all. Is there ever anything insightful you say, or is it just basement ramblings?... Oh, and about your "lol @ people saying IT IS just a beta" comment...well, I don't know about you, but I'm PRETTY sure no one has to SAY this is a beta when, in bold type in the upper right corner, it says BETA. Either get something THAT simple through your head or stop posting altogether.

cyborg69715350d ago

What did you tell us oh wise one. Have you played the retail version? No neither so stfu.

zeeshan5350d ago

Neither have you so STFU!

wsoutlaw875350d ago

I have no real problem with the beta. I have fun. They need to fix glitches but its a beta thats what happens. Im not sure what people expected

gravemaker5350d ago

nothing interesting, i never expected to destroy all the world

Criminal5350d ago

The beta has many problems, and yet I'm enjoying it. I can't wait for the final version. I hope they'll fix all the issues by then.

detroitmademe5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

Us console players shouldnt be so quick to judge BF3 off operation Metro& the rush game mode.i disliked rush on BC 2.ILL admit at first I was a little shocked by how buggy& mediocre the game looked.But from wat I understand the beta were playing is not the way the final retail version of that map will play.Graphics&destruction have been scaled back for the beta.Actually after playing it for a couple hours I can say i enjoyed it,understanding that the game can only improve from here&remember Operation Metro has no vehicles.Battlefield is known 4 large maps& vehicles.All im saying is dont think this beta is a representation of the full game.I know most devs handle thier betas like a demo but i dont think thats Dice intentions

Mister_V5350d ago

I fully agree. I think a lot of the issues we're facing with the Beta right now have already been fixed in DICE's current version of the game. And I've heard they incorporated A LOT of feedback from the Alpha. Meaning, I think DICE already proved that they can get to work.

Hufandpuf5350d ago

Exactly, this is DICE we are talking about. I doubt they would sell out and give us a buggy game.

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

XiNatsuDragnel502d ago

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

anast502d ago

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

Johnh5223502d ago (Edited 502d 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

Knightofelemia1288d ago

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

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