OK, this looks really impressive so far. If they can pull it off I could be buying this for Christmas.

[Edmaster]

Yeah, I have this pre-ordered.

Semi-related- hit my 5th star in BFBC2 a few days ago.

Beta in three days ! Woooot!


Us PC fellows should play, if any of you are getting it on PC.

[Edmaster]

PS3 for now... might get a PC copy later.

I'll be playing on the 360 and flying helicopters into the ocean.

The Beta is fantastic. Though the map is a little bit one sided, although absolutely incredible.

The map starts off in a park, and after you destroy the two crates, an airstrike is called, and blows a huge hole in the ground into the subways. You run through the tunnels and navigate your way through the subways. After you go up escalators/ladders and you are in an underground shopping mall(if anyone has been to Europe you'll know what I mean) which is by far the best part. After that, you run out of the mall, into an area that is in front of a city hall, sort of. You can go inside buildings and stuff. It's pretty awesome.

My absolute favorite thing in the beta, is when you are in the subways. I usually play Engineer and shooting RPG's through the tunnels is INSANE. The sound is incredible, and it gives such an intense feeling hearing rockets fly by, and seeing the flame of the rocket light up a small area around it while it wizzes past you in the dark tunnels.

The unbalancing problem, is basically for the attackers. In the subways, the game forces the attackers into too many choke points where the defenders can just go prone(yes, prone has returned, me and GuitarFreak will appreciate that :D) and just riddle the entry points without much of a contest.

Gotta upgrade my video card soon. Looking forward to the beta though. Wish I had the money to pre-order the game, but oh well.

If you do, don't get it through Origin. The fucking matchmaking is browser based. It's TERRIBLE. If it's like that in the final game, I'm gonna be reeeeeal mad.

I got the game the other day, 50% of the time that I'm playing I am raging and the other 50% I'm really excited because I am doing well.

The spawning in TD can be a bit weird and I always thought fans of Battlefield were the ones who complained about campers in CoD, I have never played a game with more campers than BF3.

Pretty much this. I loved the beta, but I find myself not wanting to play the game that much. It's just frustrating to play. I don't know, maybe it's just me but I can't get into the game at all.

[CyberKing]

This game is fucking awesome.

Spent a good 5 hours doing this with my friends last night, got so many points from tank kills.

This looks fun, I'm going to try this tomorrow.

Same here! Could not wait to get the game after playing the beta. Can't believe how bad I suck. Terribly frustrated with this game. I think I'm to the point I hate every sniper class in every fps. Takes the fun out of the game for me. It's one of those games where I can unload a full clip and still get blasted by one shot.:burningmad:

I will say it does make a huge difference if you're playing with a squad that attacks or defends an objective (Rush) instead of camping or running solo.

If I was not so stubborn I say so long to this game. I keep playing thinking I'll get better eventually. I doubt it though.:frown:

The problem for me is that none of my friends have a good enough PC to run BF3 so I'm pretty much alone. And nobody talks ever in pubs, and the premade squads are always locked so there is pretty much never any teamwork.

>playing on pc

Found your problem.

Well Battlefield has always been shit on anything other than PC up until this point. So your point is irrelevant.

[CyberKing]

Playing anything besides shit like LoL and WoW on a computer is just lol worthy.

Shits full of nerds.

How close minded. Oh well.
