Caspian Boarder is the way BF3 is meant to be played, not the shuddy Metro Rush.

I played about 10 rounds last nite, all i can say is wooow.

Jets flying over, booms of tanks in the distant, every part of the map theres battles going on. I Actually stood there for 10 mins watching all the battles.

even the Sky look realistic, the sun shining through the clouds, birds tweeting in the swaying trees. Absolutely immense.

The Battlefield games for me have never been about the individual systems like the vehicle and infantry handling. It's always been about the scale of the games and the things that can happen in the sandbox enviroment ;)

As a veteran to the bf series I gotta say this time around I'm starting to hate the large scale uncoordinated spam fest, time will tell.

As infantry only maps it's nice, you don't end up going up against something you don't have the tools for because there's no AT in your fireteam or they are not following you.

As a veteran to the series you should know that that's par for the course on pubbie servers. Even more so for what used to be the official EA servers.

[nostalgia]Ahhh, noobs beaching the carrier on Wake Island... Half your team stood waiting for a plane and the other half sniping...[/nostalgia]

The only flaw is that you automatically get assigned to a team, what was dice thinking, because when you spawn on team member they are all waiting for a helicopter or jet. i like the original interface to choose which team and be able to spawn in enemies base ect..

Not sure what you mean? You can choose which squad member to spawn on as well as which point in Caspian to spawn on if your team holds it.

You can't choose your own squad but, taking a wild stab in the dark, I'd be very surprised if that wasn't in the final release.

This is what I like to hear!! :D
 
Wow - It's a different game on Caspian for me.
Only had time for one round but wow.
Half the team may have been waiting for Jets though, which was annoying.

Charging through the hills in a tank is so much fun.

when you begin the game you automatically get assigned to a team, whereas the BC2 and BF2 you could choose the team you want to join. and with most players waiting for jets it's annoying.

I know battlefield has always had aircraft campers but I hope these ones are just the usual tards and not a sign that most of the BF3 players will be ex-BFBC2 muppets that have never seen a jet before and think that 3d spotting is the best thing since sliced bread. If that's the case then you'll have 3/4 of each team waiting for one instead of the usual handful.

Most takeoffs seemed to be shortly followed by a ball of flames :D
 
the servers are gonna get a pounding tonight is the public beta is available, luckly i have other plans, but it will be very unlikely to get on any game tonight.

i would assume that they will block access to caspian boarder later, otherwise the queues will be massive, on one server i saw 60 waiting lol
 
I actually still like Metro, even after playing it to death in Alpha/Beta.

I have a few rounds of Caspian last night, me like :D Was all over too quickly tho, and the map felt realllyy big! (good thing!)

So what are everyones thoughts then? Especially those that didnt get into Alpha?

I think it's amazing, I like the changes they have made to recoil since alpha, seems a bit more pronounced which is good, but still not OTT, the weapons all feel very realistic.
 
I hope DICE fix or improve the client software for release date, way too many time outs or sudden server drops, if it is the servers then hopefully this will be remedied by the admins in time for kick off. DICE really need to focus on autobalance for teams.

weapon change feels sluggish, PP2000 seems less powerful than in BC2 quite dissapointed in that :mad: however the UMP -45 looks like the must have weapon
