Every BF fan that can get a hold of it. But it won't be out for a while I think. I'm just sticking to playing Gears of War 3. Since that is fun as crap to play with friends over Xlink Kai. What sucks tho is my xenon Jtag pooped on me. (RROD) How pissy and I was just about to finish the campaign too.....oh well going to pick up my Jasper tomorrow so :P.

Yeah, I'll be playing it....... a lot. Can't wait to get my hands on it and see how well it runs on my pc. DICE has already stated the beta will appear this month but rumor has it will be around on the 25th(27th for open beta). I wish they would have the open beta a little earlier to give us more time before release.

it was the same thing for BFBC2. beta came out a month before release and had still had quite a bit of things that needed to be worked out.

I may, thought the alpha was poop though. All the Q spamming crap, and the crap map and limited to like 24 or 32 players can't remember witch but it was still kinda enjoyable somewhat. Plus it was a fucking rush map, and people don't play as a team very much on any map/server on BC2 anymore(Rarely in the alpha too). All this K/D ratio crap. Sure it's relative to the game type. But even then it's crap, cause people camp all the damn time afraid of the Q spam, not doing much

what exactly is the Q spam? and also BFBC2 has been filled with lone wolves since release.

The Alpha was definitely shit. The moment I figured it run like some gay browser based thing that keeps crashing, I dropped it like a burning turd.
So, the beta won't be like that, will it? Certainly hope not.

I'll be playing the beta for sure, and I'll be getting early access too (hopefully) because of my Medal of Honor. Didn't get to play the alpha myself, but yeah from what I've heard it was crap.
Now to wait almost half a month for that, and then basically another month for the full release...

Spamming the Q button tag enemy players so everyone can see where they're at. Supposedly they fixed it now.

i see. i never did mind the spotting in the game. in a room full of randies, thats the only form of teamwork you had left, if people actually used it. honestly im more intrested in seeing what gun the community is going to call overpowered and demand an instant nerf.

I'd love to, though my GPU isn't fast enough to handle it. I'm buying a new one this week. After that, I think I'd rather buy the full game when it's out. Can't wait either, still play BF2 even today. Gotta get ready to make the switch.

Only played the beta, but from what I gathered there, it was pretty forgettable and seemed much like a less exciting copy of BFBC2. Wouldn't really call it terrible though, but maybe the full game was worse or something.

From my experience owning the game, the multiplayer only held my attention for maybe a day or two. That's it. It might not have been terrible, but I wouldn't recommend it or anything at all. It felt to much like another CoD, and didn't really do a good job at it either. It had small maps, the HUD and other pop up messages looked like crap imo, and the class system was just weird from what I can remember.

BFBC2 was way more exciting for sure.

i remember being in party chats with freinds that played MoH back when there was a beta. all i heard was the constant spawnkilling that happened. is it true that they included a form of killstreaks in the game? considering the MP portion was made by DICE, im surprised they took this approach.

what about the SP? or you only played the MP portion? heard it was a decent campaign but not enough that it will lift it from the amount of negative feedback it had.

I did play through the SP, it was ok I suppose, but like you said, no where close to redeeming it from it's MP. It seemed kinda clunky if I can say that, the gameplay wasn't that smooth and I ran in to several glitches.

Its not that its bad its just really really medicore. It's got absolutely NOTHING that makes it different/better from any other shooter. The super generic stories put me to sleep.

DICE is so averse to the idea of snipers getting OHKs that they removed one hit kills in close range for bolt actions apparently. Now it ALWAYS takes 2 body shots. Yet at the same time they increased the damage for almost all other weapons.

People whining about bush wookies are annoying.


it doesn't take 2 shots to kill someone with a sniper rifle. the OHK distance is really small. magnum increases this though but i never use that Spec. also they are always OHK in hardcore mode.

They better drop the health percentage in hardcore mode then, because it was hard enough killing people with that 60% bullshit in BC2, it should have been more around 40-45%.

EDIT:

I saw this come up when I was looking for news on the beta but it looks very suspicious. I see no announcement from dice whatsoever and the site is not an extension of any DICE/EA site so I would be very caution when approaching things like this. It seems like a guy just trying to scam people for a couple bucks in ad revenue, but not all scams are that harmless.

don't see why they want to release them on all consoles at the same time, it's only a beta. also sony and microsoft are testing it to see if it will run, won't constantly crash etc... although im just wondering when the lag will start. all BF games released for console have been plagued with months of lag after release.

I can only imagine what the lag in BF3 on consoles is going to be like. I played BC2 on the ps3 for a while and the rubber-banding issues were rampant a whole year after release.

console player count is capped at 24. also once the servers start lagging, aren't all platforms affected? 64 players on laggy, rubber-banding server doesn't sound like much fun.

Caspian Border in all its glory. My god does it look fantastic.

EDIT: played some of the beta this morning, it was pretty nice. The only problem is that they took out the APC for Operation Metro that was in alpha so it's much harder for offense to get past those first two terminals without a decent team. Caspian Border is in the server browser but it seems to be limited to the select few. I'm hoping they make it widely available very soon, everyone knows that Operation Metro isn't what battlefield is about. You need some tanks, helis, jets, etc.to get the full experience.

I played a few games of Caspian Border and they were a completely different experience from Metro. Caspian has that nice battlefield feel that just can't be emulated. I'm only more pumped up now about release after getting some 64 player play in.
