Jesus, who said anything about being "owed" anything? I see this line trotted out all the time and its getting boring. If theyre letting people play the map why not just enable it for all servers? Every server has it so it wouldnt be a big deal to do.

Because its incessant whining over something for free! In the grand scheme of things its not big of a deal is it.
 
OK. This game is much better than I initially thought the first 20mins I played yesterday. Playing it some more, I am getting more of the experience as shown in the gameplay videos promoting the game. It's buggy sure, but the sound and realism is quite amazing. It's so nice to see squads grouping together and using suppressing fire and cover which is clearly non-existent in COD.:p

Runs smooth as silk on my system with settings all on HIGH. I don't feel the need to try Ultra, quite happy with graphics and performance as it is.

This will be a definite pre-order/day purchase for me now.:cool:
 
i think the major annoyance from the community is that they release a BETA metro which has lots of bugz and doesn't really show it's potential. after 10 rounds it becomes repetative.

Really they should release caspian boarder to get customers onboard that what they are buying is worth it, have you seen the BF Forum thousands of people ranting how rubbish metro is, most servers are full. Unless DICE do something soon there will be a lot of refunds.

not only that it will lessen the que times to join games, how many people here have wasted 30 mins trying to play the game. CTD or errors. having Caspian Boarder and Metro as a BETA is a good idea so people could post errors on both Conquest and Rush maps it seems a lot more logical.

Yeah let me see a Battlefield Beta having a mode that is assoociated with the pc battlefield games, as opposed to a mode thats infantry only that was made for Consoles.

Umm yes its a big deal, the beta should have been Conquest from the get go. Dice have already said theyre using Feedback from the beta to make changes on the retail product, how exactly do they do that with a small map with only infantry? Throwing vehicles into the mix makes for a ton more variables that can affect balance.

Id prefer a more polished game from the day i buy it, not months and multiple gigs of patches later. And that won't be accomplished with a small infantry only map.

the other issue they have is going through each post on the forum regarding bugs with under 4 weeks to go. also without access to all the maps how many more bugs are there
 
tbh even with the bugs this could be epic :D

textures not too bothered about at this moment theyll have that sorted for release and vehicles seem fine not worried one bit . just made me want a better pc now so i can run it at highest settings with maximum res :p

Id imagine theyre focusing more on game balance and major bugs, minor bugs will be ironed out in due course i suppose. I really do expect a verry hefty day one patch to say the least.:eek:
 
Tbh they should have released the Beta at the beginning of September that way they would have more time to iron out any issue's, but with the beta finishing on the 10th they have just about 3 weeks to fix any issues on 1 map LOL

I just wonder if EA wasn't involved would this game even be coming out in October. They moved the launch forward 2 weeks or so, thats a lot of man hours of dev time given up right there.

i think they are on a tight schedule with the release on the 28th, IF we have a finished clean product or a buggy gameplay.
 
Well so much for my day off spent playing the Beta. I'm giving up until later as I can only take so much of joining servers only to be disconnected 10 seconds later. Shame as I had a riot on it last night, no server issues at all.

/shakes fist
 
since when have EA betas ever been proper betas? from battlefield, to 2142 etc all the betas came out about 2/3 weeks before final, imo its just marketing hype.
 
the way it should have been was

June - Alpha on Metro - get feedback

July - August - Conq - Rush Map Beta 1 - get feedback - finalise bugs/issues

August - September - Conq - Rush Map Beta2 - get feedback and finish product.
