View Full Version : Battlefield 3 beta
Anybody in on this? Been playing for a couple days.
Aside from a few glitches, the game seems pretty good.
What I hate to death is Battlelog. Consoles get a server browser, PC gets a goddamned fucking web page? Fucking seriously?
We have to pick a server in our goddamn web browser, and THEN it loads the game? Assuming that 14/32 capacity server isn't determined as "FULL" by Battlelog.
EA can suck a gangrenous dick for forcing this shit on us. What does it do that couldn't be done in game, besides piss us off?

So much for their chance to best MW3, since the majority of its players are all multiplayer people.

It's a beta. Hard to judge a game based on that

I was playing last night for the first time and damn is it super buggy. Nothing that inhibited gameplay but tons of visual stuff.
I just wish it stared with more weapons unlocked. I want to try more, but I am not sure I want to play for so long with only one map and game mode to earn them.
Wait, slow down! The BETA is out on Xbox now? On LIVE? Sign a brother up- I've been playing Oblivion for the last few weeks in my long arduous wait for Skyrim to come out (and because I have yet to beat it)... I gave up on Black Ops because it sucks, and MW2 seems like there are too many fuckknuckles on there trying to be the most l33t.

Played the beta on 360 last night at my friend's. Damn, it's good! There are a lot of visual bugs but not bad. Hopefully they iron it out before release.
I was really amazed to see the tac light and the laser. That is a cool dynamic I've never seen in a game before.

I played for a little while last night, not bad. If you are on XBOX live, hit me up. My gamertag is "OPS 5". Send me a reference of who you are though, otherwise I will probably delete the request.

Sweet, i'll have to do that when I get home. thanks for posting that link!
PC gamer here. Also can't judge it until the full release. Some good stuff in the Beta though... and some not so good either...

I remember the old CounterStrike Beta when they were doing the new tweaks on it (way back in my younger years) and it was just a taste to whet one's appetite! This is the same- while not refined and perfect- like we hope the final version will be (but usually some bugs even there and we have to have a patch), still enough to get us by until the fated day it's released arrives.

The Counterstrike "beta" were the only good years of Counterstrike.
LOL counterstrike.
Man I was a fanatic with TFC, Counterstrike, All of mods of the Battlefield 1942 (nam, Dc's, bf2). I need another good gaming rig. The BF set was my favorite. Anyone in or was in any BF, TFC, Counterstrike clans?
TFC: RC
BF: ORG

I played it today, and its alright.
As others said, its definitely a beta, and I hope the bugs get ironed out before the release. The visuals are pretty cool, and the sound is SWEET. playing it on a surround sound system is awesome.
On the note of buying it new, I've got better things to spend 60 bucks on....
