If its a beta or a demo is a moot point. The fact is its a very poor choice of map for BF3. If I only had this 'beta/demo' to go off I would have cancelled my order. Its only due to previous BF's that I am looking forward to the game. On a side note, so far a agree with others, this is BFBC2.5 and not BF3. With luck that will change when some of the more obvious omissions are added.
How is a BETA a Demo?Go troll elsewhere
Explain how the Alpha was less buggy than this so called beta
the beta should have been an improvment on the Alpha not the other way around lol

Has any1 tried recording yet using fraps?

Why does that even matter? They are both Alpha and Beta, thus you should expect bugs.
I've not had any issues with this Beta apart from stuff Battlelog side. They have already said map bugs have mostly been ironed out as this beta is 'old' compared to where they are right this moment.
Nope.
It's a glorified limited time demo, with the BETA tag slapped on so fools can sit there and excuse all the bugs and lick DICE's ass.
The point of a BETA is to be released a few months before a games release, take user feedback on certain aspects of the game so adjustments can be made before it's released, patch it a few times to give it a few fixes and test said fixes to make the game into a stable state. This has done nothing of the like. Alpha was an alpha, it had these aspects included and they were putting out a patch or 2 to check and test the fixes, this doesn't, what-so-ever.
The ONLY thing DICE is testing is it's backend, which I predicted would happen about 4 months ago? I'm sure someone said that this "BETA" build is older than the Alpha build too, it's certainly more unstable than it was, so tell me how does that work?
Fanboys are hilarious.

How do you guys think this is a beta ? We are 21 days away from release and you think this game has not already been pressed onto a disc for release already ?
Its a demo but as with all BF games I am sure we will have a patch to fix all your concerns on release day , it will then continue to be re-patched for the following 4 years to iron out jet imbalances ect ect , oh and if past release are anything to go by then stand by for it being totaly unplayable fo rthe first week unitl Admins can set up servers properly and you iron out all you modem issues ect ect .
Guys FFS what do you expect ,,it's another BF realese for Christ sake.

Makes sense, as it's worse than the Alpha.

How can you think its a demo? It's so obviously and clearly a Beta
A demo would be:
Single player mission from the campaign THAT IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE LAUNCH VERSION.
A beta would be (and is):
Software from AN ALREADY OLDER BUILD from the date the beta was released. Used for the purpose of data collection, stress testing balance testing etc.
People keep saying: Omg the game comes out in 20 days and the beta is so full of bugs!
The game DICE is working on is NOT near the same state as the beta we are playing.
Plus in this modern age of digital releases, they can patch and patch and patch every flipping minute up until the point of release.
Who cares if the game is already gold, all packaged up and shipped to retailers. Once you install the game, they can force you to download any and all sorts of release day patches.
Have a little faith peeps

Infra Red scope
I was starting to enjoy this game, when I realised that the Infra red scope acted quite like a wallhack. It does not see through walls, but you can pretty much get the advantage over anyone with this thing when in the bushes and even in the daylight part of Metro. I don't like it at all.

That's absolutely fine, because it was the same MP we got on release.
Disregard all you want, facts are facts.
exactly what im trying to say , I can sort of understand why they have apparently lost 34k pre orders , and why can't we BETA test a 64 player map which is what BF is all about .
