Metro for me is a borefest which is fairly apparent watching the stream, can't wait to hit some CQ action.

Have you noticed any differences from alpha?

No LAV seems pretty major.

So the official BF3 Beta has no vehicles. (Although they may spawn it when the servers go live).

Nope still the same confined gameplay now with the added bonus of no vehicles...go battlefield, well that's rush for you. Looking at the EA forums 3D spotting IS in full force and just as bad as ever.

There is no lav-25 in beta??

 

[ben1977]

is there a link anywhere of list of changes between alpha and beta?

Watching the stream the graphics don't look that good to be honest

How about re-positioning of M-coms?

It was buggy as hell in the Alpha, getting stuck on terrain all the time.

And I found a fairly major glitch that let you go anywhere out of bounds with it.

Will servers have the option to turn 3D spotting off without having to play hardcore mode? At a guess most people dont want 3D spotting despite DICE thinking we do.

Most (non-hc) servers left it on in BC2 anyway, so the "most" people statement doesn't quite work.

In any case, from trying it at Eurogamer, I can say its not a problem, its not like BC2's 3D spotting which you can see through walls, bushes, etc; you need line of sight basically. And at that point, its basically substituting for mics and stuff which not everybody uses.

Maybe he turned them down to stream. Looked fine at Eurogamer. More than fine.

Seems to be running smooth as silk on that stream.

Would love to know what machine he is running.

Just played some Bf2. I still love that game. I think that it will still have a huge playerbase in the years to come.

I'm not sure but I didn't think it was possible to turn off 3d spotting in BC2 without opting for Hardcore. I didn't play the game for very long (got boring very quick) so maybe you could, not sure.

Add your MOH:LE key to your Origin account. That way EA know you have a copy, and will duly issue you your rightfully deserved beta key in the early hours of the morning

Youre a star Mr BJN...thanks I;ve just done it and now its sitting on my origin account [only started using it today]. Is there anything else we have to do?
