I was being stupid. I didn't realise your guns changed when you switched from defender to attacker and vice versa.
I wonder if they will reset our levels when it's released.
i am because my mates dont pc game so id be forever alone on the BF3 for pc
I might have to do the same (get both platforms), pretty annoying to be honest.
Yes your stats will be reset come release day.
The stats will be reset once the beta has finished.
Everyone starts fresh on release day

i sold my 6950 about 7 months ago when i stopped pc gaming, now i have an old 4770, id rather just stick with the 360 pre order than buy both games and a new card. i just got endless problems with pc games anyway when all i wanted to do was just play.
Really enjoying the second hand gun. Been countless occasions where i have dropped 2-4 guys in one clip.
They also need the do something about the defenders spawn on the last part of the map. Placed myself on a building with windows facing it and popped around 7-8 guys just as they spawned with the sniper, until someone shot around 3 rpgs my way.

I am liking this a lot. A lot more depth to BC2. A lot better hit detection and damage model. More like BC2:Vietnam. Some little bugs but it's been fine for me so far. HK416 + Holo + Silencer is OP. The only thing I see a lack of is destruction 2.0? The map itself seems a little too scripted.

Haven't tried it yet. Going to buy on 360 (only game i'll have ever bought on it as I much prefer the PS3).
I don't normally do Beta's, but some of the things people have mentioned mean i'm going to play it as it sounds like they have put in some things i may not like.
Not likeing the idea of Prone. That's a CoD thing and it was bad enough in that game with it's tiny, basic maps.
The only reason i'm buying this at all is because 5-6 of my actual friends are buying it. If they were not, i wouldn't even consider it. But playing a team game with friends makes the game about 10x more appealing.
I'll know by the end of this evening whether i'm keeping my pre-order. Either playing it in the house with friends, or simply going over for a few beers and watching, having a few goes.

im sure prone was on bad company 1. The game plays a lot better when you have a good squad, and having someone use the mobile spawn point to keep you close to the action is great fun

Will have a go at this later if my xbox lets me stay signed in for more than 5 mins.

Well i guess i'll see how it plays with it then. I never played BC1 or BC2 (well, i played the latter for a few hours but was just sick of FPS at the time)
Prone was always available in the Battlefield series until they made Bad Company 1 and 2. It was removed then because people whinged about it. It is most definitely not a COD thing. Prone worked really well in Battlefield 2, so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work fine in Battlefield 3.
Prone wasn't as overpowered in Battlefield 2 because due to technical limitations there was less bushy scenery to get lost in. The player count also helped, 32 or 64 players meant camping wasn't such an issue. The devs removed prone from the bad company series as it didn't work with the 24 player limit on consoles. Couple that with more realistic (read: lots of) foliage it does allow a lot of camping, especially on consoles. Plenty of times I've accidentally stumbled across someone camping whilst crawling up said row of bushes myself they're so easy to hide in.
Can anyone confirm this for me please.
I had no early access and have been playing the beta on the 360 since it went public but I still can't access Battlelog, ingame it always tells me account not activated but when I try and login on battlelog it tells me I don't have access yet?
I thought the Battlelog open beta also started on the 29th or am I wrong?

I played a couple hours last night, and love it, the sound is really great, i love the way the pillars in the Metro station break away with bullets hitting them, and the lighting is really good to.
i had no issues last night bar a couple pauses and the odd random animation from other people.
Prone is great, it makes killing people a little more difficult and finding them harder, but it also gives you an advantage while in prone, the weapon leveling up system is great as well, no more getting one scope for all guns.
