why can't we BETA test a 64 player map which is what BF is all about .

cos it's dice/ea and they don't give a crap

why do you think they chose metro, to try and pull in cod players, unfortunately it doesnt seem to work the other way round.
 
This is less about it being a demo and a beta and more about throwing a hissy fit cause people arent getting caspian borders after it was dangeld infont of them

Im not sure what it is, a beta i would expect to ask for a copy of your system spec to be logged and sent to DICE and when you crashed it should send a log to them aswell.etc,etc

But they have stated that their only intention of this was for their testing of the back end not our testing of the game. Its their show they can do what they want, they sure as hell know better than any of you how old this build is and what they want to acheive from it

Dont really care what it is i still like it, as for the 34k cancelled orders, they'll be back..............if they ever cancelled in the first place
 
I'm really hoping the conquest / larger maps such as the Karkland/Sharqui/Oman remakes turn this around, at the moment it is feeling very much like Bad Company 3 rather than BF3.
 
The game is a mess really. Some major things are wrong with it. First all the bugs, if they can't sort out a small map like metro, imagine what kind of bugs we will find in bigger maps. (Tanks, maybe jets flying underground.)

I had dead people shooting at me somehow, people below the floors killing me, snipers are totally unbalanced with their one shot kills. Half of the people on the server are now snipers due to being overpowered. Way to much RPG span on infantry. RPG should not even be allowed to used on infantry IMO. In BF2 we had grenade spammers this time it will be rpg spammers.

I Also don't get why they even bother to include medics in the game. There is no use for them basically. Even if you get shot and get down to 10% you only have to wait 30 sec to be back to good health. Nobody revives cause no one is playing the useless medics class. In a full team you might find 2-3 medics.

This game need some serious tweaking. BC2 had the balance just right between the classes IMO.

Sod that I can say right now that I will be playing Karkand 24/7 inf constantly!!! I could play Metro for hours and hours and not get bored which to me says it’s a true BF game, so god knows what i'm going to be like on Karkand.
 
Just cancelled my pre-order, because I've just realised I have an old EA/Origin account from BF2/2142. So in the interests of being able to use any Veteran bonuses etc, and having a slightly better origin name I've had to cancel and will then put in another pre-order on the other account once the the refund comes through.

Knew I should have checked for an existing account, so many gaming service accounts I've lost track.

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

I think that's down to the map being Rush personally. I hate rush with a passion, which is why I've not played BC2 all that much. But in the past couple of weeks I've started playing BC2 again, using conquest only servers and I tell you what, it's almost a different game. So BF3 Conquest can only be even better IMO.

Squads, officially announced on their forums and twitter.
Bugs, hundreds of them, some have even been fixed within the beta. Simple things like clipping and the server browser.
Click to expand...

Squads aren't being changed (for now)

The bugs in this version of the beta don't exist anymore since this is an old build, so no bugs have actually been fixed due to this "beta".


Next? Oh is that it? They fixed clipping and* Battlelog? ****ing amazing how much a "beta" can improve so much just in time for release.

This is how i see it!

Metro is quite a close quater combat zone, so imo by them letting every tom dick and harry play it will put huge strain on EA's plasma backend due to the constant flow of information from kills, awards and small area's of high action.

It is a killstreak map, i can see people who are obsessed with ranking and killstreaks will play Metro non-stop, so you're right.

If I still have my 1942 & Vietnam keys I'd not be far off, just missing the console stuff.

I don't own a single game, bar BC2 bahahahahha :p

I'm really on the fence about BF3, I been playing it a bit more each day and it is reasonably fun... but I like team play and the talk of the squad system not being there is a bit of a kill.
