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

| The hit detection seems off, I'm having a harder time getting kills that I can get in BC2. Otherwise I think I like it, as Skillet said I wish it had some vehicles, it makes it hard to judge it as a BF game. The animations are so badass though, seeing your legs as you scale walls and such. Good proprioception work, like Mirrors Edge. It super demanding on PC and lags more than I'd expect, but it IS a brand new high end beta, so it could still be scaled back. |

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.

I'm going to seriously consider buying it when it's out. I can run it on my ol' lady's PC. Other than Minecraft, I think Battlefield 2 was the last video game I paid money for and played a ton.

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 ------------- Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. H = 2 |

I've played BF2 (although mostly mods for it) since it came out, but I'm not all that interested in BF3. It's pretty idiotic to see all the people complaining about how the beta has so many flaws. I'll probably buy it after it's been out for a while and goes on sale. Definitely more excited for Skyrim. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

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

Is there any known way to turn all that writing off?
Floating beacons, damage points, awards flashing on the screen. Makes it kinda hard to see the badguys. ------------- Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. H = 2 |

I downloaded it on the 360. Its fun to play, but I think I will depend on Gears3 to hold me over until Skyrim ------------- Face it guys, common sense is a form of wealth and we're surrounded by poverty.-Strato |

I was going to buy a new rig and BF3 to play alongside CoD on PS3, but I got a girlfriend, so the new rig is out of the plan along with BF3.

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. |

I thought about downloading it, but with Dark Souls out tomorrow I doubt I'll get around to anything else for a while. -------------

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. ------------- Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. H = 2 |

Sounds like I'll only play Hardcore on BF3, just like I did with BC2 (which I didn't get the $10 I paid for it on Steam sale this summer out of, having already moved on).

| I downloaded this being my first battlefield experience ever and I found it to be ridiculously hard... Any tips or obvious things I'm probably not thinking about? |

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. -------------

Yeah I agree the kill cam is super annoying. If I've found something that works, or I just narrowly made it out of a tight spot, I shouldn't be punished for it/ given away. I havent played long enough to notice the lens flare or anything. Also Bad Company 2 is only $20, I'd suggest it. |
