Worst map decision ever, that map was beyond a Joke. It got boring incredibly fast, How exactly the hell do they expect feedback when we can't even use some of the major elements of the gameplay? It makes no sense whatsoever to give us a map thats infantry focused while the vehicle gamplay still has a massive question mark over it.
Ive said before it wouldnt suprise me if its metro due to them wanting feedback on the alpha changes, but again it just leaves a huge question amrk over the balance of the rest of the game.

I just wanted to test my system and plan upgrades before release. The most demanding map would be the best way to do this no...?

Major fail. DICE, I am disappoint.
I don't care what map it's on, but hell i'd like to play some Conquest.
There's a reason I never play Rush in BC2, and that's because it sucks, big time.

Beta on PC should be 64 conquest, not 32 rush, if you're gonna test the game you do it with the max the game push out so 64 CQ on an all out vehicle map like Caspian, and we have all seen Caspian we're hardly gonna get our fill playing it in a beta.
Missing the point, BF2 demo had all the gameplay elements intact, jets heli's, tanks etc and if anything it got people more hyped for the game plus a lot of bugs were discovered. This is supposodly a beta (as if), we're only tesing 1 facet of the game, whos to say that the vehicles don't need a ton of tweaking done to them? Tons of problems were found in the alpha with just infantry, lots of fixes and tweaks were made.
This could have all been sorted out for release for the msot part if caspian had been the beta map, they would have had feedback and got most of the fixes ready for launch day patch. But now it seems we're gonna have to wait far longer for fixes due to this retarded map decision.
Medium maybe? Guys any help?

29th.
(there you got Gzero, my gif lol
)On a serious note %$B*&?!! DICE
So many spoilt brats in here. 
As for specs, mid-high hardware in the 2 years, or high end from last 3 will play BF3 just fine, it wont be on the highest setting, but it'll still look stunning you just might have to settle for a little jaggy in your life.
I ran q6600 @ 3ghz & 5770 stock at 2048x1152 and its auto gfx setting it selected looked considerably better than BC2, and ran at a solid 48-52fps.
This myth that you need super high end to play full and high end to play medium is nonsense. Yeah, on Ultra you'll need to pay for it, but in 2-3yrs time it'll still look stunning when running Ultra on mid-priced hardware of that time. If you cant throw £400-500 at new hardware, provided its half-decent gear you'll be just fine.

They want to keep some of the game as a surprise for launch?

Well all I can say is that DICE will have thought this out thoroughly and made their decision on far more facts and figures that unhappy people believe should have been done on a forum.
Bogus reasons, if you're gonna test the sever side you do it with 64 CQ not lame 32 rush on small maps with one or two vehicles.
So Caspian Border is a big surprise is it.

Bigger maps does not equal more players on the servers (physical servers, not in-game servers)
Its till gonna be a bottlenecked POS nomatter how much they polish it. I literally had enough of playing it after an hour or so, it was just a really boring and tedious map to play on. Nothing whatsoever about it gave me the "just 10 more minutes" feeling than the BF2 demo did.
Aye, I think you are correct.
Once a crap map, always a crap map.
I'm looking forward to the gameplay tweaks though.
I'm not going to base my decision on buying the game from playing that map, but from the improvements in the overall feel of the game since the alpha.
