BF3 Beta - what do you think?

So have any of you guys played it and what do you think? IMO I think it is awesome. the beta is a bit buggy but the new animations are awesome. very smooth. i like that you can change the modes of fire too. also there is no level cap for the beta so you could potentially unlock all the guns. lets hope the servers don't crash again today lol

Well if you Played on ps3 that wouldn't be a problem. But bf3 is pretty sick the maps are awesome, guns are realistic, and the game modes how u transfer into different enviroments on rush is sweet.

It finished dowloading while I was asleep last night so I get a chance to play it today.

Where do i start? The BF3 open beta is lacking, i found alot of problems with it. to start i was expecting something very exceptional from the FrostBite 2 engine, needless to say it didnt impress me. i also found that alot of the times bullets werent registering properly. also alot of the opposing force was half way under the map, and by that i mean half of the body's were only showing. I like the gun models and the variety of weapons, such as being able to use a Glock 17 instead of a beretta m9. i qalso like how the weapons for the russians are actually correct, being that the primary assualt rifle is an ak-74m and not an ak-47, this was very appealing to me, it was something that call of duty could never get together. the graphics did not jump out at me, it kinda reminds me of playing a childrens game. i dont like how if you look around, your mini map and other icons giggle around. i myself give the beta a 5/10. hopefully when the real game comes out it will be alot more appeasing.

I mean, it IS only a beta...also, there were a lot of similar problems on pc beta, and there were patched and now all of the above problems were fixed. I can only assume they will do something similar for consoles or, as you said, fix these problems before release.

i understand its a beta, but they made it out to be so amazing, when really its the same old battle field. same old bad graphics and the same old shakey gameplay. i hate to say it but it looks like MW3 is going to be better.

i haven't had a single problem with the beta except the servers crashed because they got overloaded with all the kids coming home to play and right around 4:30 they crashed. the beta is everything i expected and did meet the hype created. as for graphics well they are far more impressive than CoD. all cod did was recycle their old engine while dice came up with a whole new one. in the beta map they released there isn't really much to destroy until you get to the end where the buildings are and that shows off the new engine a bit.

hanse the term "Beta"

well the reason they waited so long to release the beta was to fine tune it as much as they could for a beta. and the graphics won't improve much when the game comes out because you're still running it on the same software that was in the xbox 360 when it first came out. pc gamers WILL notice the graphics change because they can swap out graphics cards and upgrde their comp.

Im going to assume you play it on 360 or PS3. Your right, there isnt much of a graphics change cus your running it on the same hardware that has been in 360s for a LONG time.

Try playing it on a PC running it on high, and tell me what the graphics look like then. I tell you the graphics on my PC are AMAZING. And I need to get a new graphics card before i can reach its new potential.

That being said, I give the beta about a 8/10. I have had a lot of laggy servers, a lot of bullets passing through other players, and Ive noticed a lot of graphical errors (One of the snipers who killed me from across the map had no scope, no iron sights, as well as no mag in his gun LOL)

MW3 is better than BF3?!?! What the heck is wrong with you? I'm sorry but I guess it was too hyped up for you that you're disappointed. I understand it won't be your type of game though, it's shooting for a "realism" effect even though a video game will never fully achieve realism. But come on, the bullets don't register because of connection problems and if you've never played Bad Company 2, you won't understand that the guns actually recoil and actually hit were they're pointed unlike MW2 or Black Ops where aiming is more assisted than the Battlefield games. I admit, Battlefield games are harder to play because they have bigger maps and longer firefight ranges so bullet drops and the fact that your gun actually wiggles as you hold the trigger makes it a harder game to play.

If it's not for you, don't compare it to a game you prefer or like. It will always be different.

graphics do not determine how good a game is

i liek the little details they added like when you crawl you actually crawl and you can see your hand out in front of you and your gun in the other and when you jump over walls or obstacles you see your legs swing out in front of you and you put your hand down on what you're jumping over. i also like they they have eliminated drop shotting. not to mention they seem to run so smoothly for a beta. the assassination thing is sweet too.

I love it, but it lags alot

Well today i got stuck under the map

cause you play on the PS3 n00b

I have now played the beta for a few days and have therefore came to terms with the game. I am still adjusting to the play style (because im a cod fanboy) it just doesnt feel the same to me. but i like the game as a whole, it seems to be a very enjoyable shooter. i only seem to have a few problems with different weapons being extremely over powered, such as the 416 and the scar-h. there seems to be alot of graphical errors around the rock at the B side explosive. And every once in awile you get a squad or 2 that hunkers down under the map. but a grenade can do wonders I give the beta an 8/10. now if only cod could pull themselves out of the hole they have dug

I don't like video games.
