edit *2 -- had their support veteran me up, still doesn't work, is there no chance you guys were actually just accepted into the alpha and didn't know?

Maybe but if so it's only just happened and they didn't email me about it.

MoRT489 · 27 Jul 2011 at 07:54

EDIT: nvm

antonusklesk · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:07

Congrats to those that got in through the alpha page, no such luck for me I'm afraid.

I'm signed up for the newsletter and have veteran 6 status so it does still seem somewhat random who gets in.

Be prepared to be dissapoint guys!! Battlefield 3: Bad Company is a bit of a let down!

I'll wait for some conquest action before condemning it totally but yeah it's more like that dumbed down BC2 than a true sequel to BF2.

With no commo-rose, no commander, but now we have health regen to 100% ' who needs medics now ' auto repair vehicles ' engineers step aside ' 3D spotting ' follow that triangle ' vehicles with unlimited ammo ' lol ' scripted knifing, social key ' noob console feature ' 4 man squads where leader can spawn on any member, where's the teamplay mechanics? there is no need to keep you squad leader alive now. BF2 was more than 64 players and jets, BF3 looks completely dumbed down compared to BF2 in the same way BC2 is. All the above is subject to change so I will wait for some conquest action before slamming it completely.

These are the thoughts of a BF1942/BF2/2142 vet.

MANFACE · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:13

No e-mail, but checked the Alpha page and I'm in ?

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:16

Well you can all stick to your COD expansions and your Battlefield arcade games! BF3 is looking good!

*will be looking at peoples stats who moan about it

I've play it for 7 hours and i too am a vet of all the BF titles not just 3 of the main PC titles and love it... its far more advanced than BC2.... Its seems raven your hell bent on this game failing... no1 cares what you think!

RavenXXX2 · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:23

Got me self one.

Garonazz · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:23

You will get an email when it signs you up, I thought I had signed up for it the other day but it must be messing up. Try it a few times

Then go here https://bf3alpha.battlefield.com/index.php?id=1 and fill in your details

haha it worked for me

cheers

maxilive · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:26

It also worked for me too on 1 of my accounts but not on the other, shall have to see if my account actually works on BF3 though (after a long 7 hours at work

).

So wait there.... Answer this instead of selected replies.... you've already condemn the game without having played it?

It might not have everything from BF2... but grow up man, this isn't 2005 there are a few things missing but there are some new added features which make up for it!!!

I dont even notice the bloody comm rose along with the other stuff for BF2, the infantry stuff is outstanding!

Garonazz · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:35

Is this Closed Alpha signup some trick btw ? as in, a mistake by DICE and someone made the CLOSED Alpha avaible to public somehow ?

So you think it's better to have no commander, no assets, health regeneration and see forth?

I think its better than all the other crap out atm yes! Thats a stupid question ofc i'd like to have commander and a comm rose. The sooner people stop living in past the better. If they put all the cool BF2 stuff in GREAT. If not then its how it is, people have said their piece on the Alpha forums we'll just have to wait and see... Its seems people forget this is just Alpha stage AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINAL GAME.

I’m all for people voicing their opinions but for god sake lets not **** it off to the point where people refuse to even try it or buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The health re-reg is a softcore thing no doubt and is something HC wont have!

craptakular · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:49

Goon you should try arma 2, arma: project reality might be out soon aswell.

Unless bf3 totally changes I can't see me playing it much. It seems not different to homefront and moh to me.

I don't think so as there are still unfortunate souls who can't get in

Seems that those with an invite email into the Alpha can get another code by going through the Alpha pages too so it's almost like random EA accounts are permitted entry with each new wave regardless of whether they're already in it or not.

MANFACE · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:52

No, it's not open to everyone.

I dont mind a bit of Arma, arma

R was something i was going to play. But tbh COD and BC2 is to arcadey and Arma is to much for a computer game.

Judging on BF3 Alpha, metro is exactly the sort of team play game i want, its not to heavy but has potential to be a great EDOM game! TFU have already had a some great co-op play!

Dark Sun · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:54

Oh dear. Kept quiet up until now about the alpha as I wanted to watch the videos and read feedback from those participating. I was excited about this game but not anymore. 3d spotting looks like a built in wall hack (player shooting through thick black smoke and kills enemy miles away is just one example I have seen). Looks like whenever you meet another player both will drop to the floor and spin around shooting like some Wesley Snipers character in one of his movies. It's looking more like CoD in my view. Lots of flashy popups with silly awards. Haven't seen any real squad play just a load of one man army types firing off their noob tubes at empty spaces hoping they will hit someone.

' auto repair vehicles '

For serio?

Oxy said:

Although ARMA looks fantastic and I did try it when it was released, just couldnt get into it, too much distance between objectives/enemies, walking for 40 mins and seeing no one except on CQB maps. May be a great mil sim but not comparable realyl to what BF is offering.
