I played for a few rounds earlier today. You get to play on one map with one type of game. No vehicles. I may get the game. It seems pretty good as far as the weapons go. |

I played it a bit on PS3 a couple hours ago. Didn't exactly grab me... I may just be a MW3 Nub. I can accept that. But I suppose the actual battlefield is supposed to offer much, much more?

I once downed a jet in BF2 with a tank, but he was flying really low to the ground trying to bomb me, lol. Needless to say he was pissed, I got called all sorts of names. Honestly though, if it's anything like BFBC2, where you do a mag dump in someones back and they turn around and fire one shot and you're down, EA can suck it. Too many hax out there anymore. My buddy was playing the Alpha and was amazed at the crap that was going on, so I googled "Hax for BF3" and wasn't really surpirsed at the amount of sites with hax for it already. Maybe when it goes on sale for $5 I'll buy it for the SP but that's about it. |

It's blinding/dazzling at close range but gives you away at longer ranges. I feel that they should tweak it so that it's useless outside in the sunlight, but that's it. The ground bugs are pretty frustrating, but it looks like they might open Caspian Border, I saw they were testing it tonight.

Only getting lag on foreign servers Looks great Hasn't crashed yet in 6 hours of playing Falling through the map is a known glitch and hence the reason it's an open beta 
Haven't seen the shooting through rocks yet Haven't seen any trees blow sideways....they blow straight up a little as a result of the explosion and then fall right over They made the sniper's scopes bright on purpose after a lot of complaints from BF2, they even said they were going to do this I saw the laser beam thing as well and it's pretty retarded, that I agree Make sure you make a list of things that are wrong and send to them so they can work on it. |

I was finally able to get in and I do like the game. I will agree with the lights but if people want to make themselves targets why not let them. I have not gotten a light yet are they on all the time?? I guess there are disadvantages to any perk. I think the best part about them (the lights) is the drawbacks and the simple fact that they do realisticaly make you a target as much as they blind your opponent at close ranges. I especially like the sound in the game they really upped the realism with this,

Sometimes they turn out to be good games, other times not so much. For some reason I don't do so well with the Battlefield series game engine, but I tried the MoH beta and the BF3 alpha. Didn't bother buying MoH. If I don't enjoy gameplay in the beta, I'm not likely to bother buying the game. OTOH, the World of Tanks beta was a blast and I'm still playing. We'll see how BF3 goes.Although considering how many games(and other software for that matter) are released in a condition that is pretty much a beta anyway(and sometimes never fixed properly!), I don't know why people would bitch so much  |

They did so with Bad Company 2. I fully expect BF3 to be buggy, crash, have framerate and lag issues, etc., but I'll still play it because, even with all of its problems, it's fun as hell. Just like BC2 was. |

By the way for those of you just firing it up:
When playing as support, the IAR has the Heavy Barrel option on by default. If you turn that off if becoms much more controlable under autofire (The in game blurb notes that its paired with heavier match ammo, thus more recoil). The Shotgun is freaking god-like at close quarters, and the spread and damage drop off is the best I've ever seen modeled in a game. You can turn your laser sights and tactical lights on and off. On the Xbox its up on the dpad. You can also toggle your fire mode with the Dpad, but I don't remember which direction you push off the top of my head. The M16A4 in semi-auto is a beast if you can place your shots. |
