BF3 Beta.

I like it.  I wish that the Xbox beta map had some vehicles though, kinda ruins the Battlefield feel without them.

The current beta build is about 3 months old, so I expect some bugs, honestly.  I dunno if its convinced me to preorder... I might just wait for Skyrim, as I've been wanting a new epic single player game.

BF2 stats : Total time 561:45:13

I've already got an hour into BF3.

It is fun. The Beta has some Beta issues, which i hope the production game will fix. But it is fun, if a little too MOH/Bad Company 2 at the moment.

Missed knifing some guy who was base raping. Damnit :p

KBK

I'm honestly not a fan. It became too much like Call of duty, which ruins it for me.

I downloaded it for PC.  My connection is too slow to connect to the servers :(

I like it a lot. It is a bit harder to kill people but at the same time I think BF2 was a bit tooo easy. Other than feeling overwhelmed by the things all over the screen, I like the concept so far. One thing that peeves me off (i know they'll fix it) is that when someone kills you and they show them it always seems like the camera angle is under the map so you cant even see them, especially if they're laying down.


Also I like the flashlights, laying down, and lasers. I also find it interesting that they merged medic with assault.

The fact there is a kill cam in the game at all annoys me. Seriously. That it COD crap. I don't think the game should give away your position if it is a good one. If you keep getting blatted by the same sniper you are doing something wrong and need to stop it. You shouldn't rely on the game to show you where the guy is. Hell with the lense flare it is easy enough already.

Talk about spoon feeding.

its also nice when snipers forget to turn off there tac lights and you can see them from across the map.

Run in weird patterns.  A lot of those kids are not clever, for real.  Anywhere you think is a crap spot, can probably see the good spots haha.  Also remember that its only in beta and that its gonna be hard.
