2 Months long beta, the first 2 weeks would be exclusive to the MoH:LE owners

well that would be stupid as it would mean a lot of the initial updates would-be geared towards the moh crowd based on their feedback which would disappoint the bf series fans and require all the updates to be redone or leave the game more moh focused.

starting open beta earlier would cost them more sales so thats why its left as long as possible as once the ragers start it snow balls.

the people who test it properly for eg not us

will get it done and we will help find other bugs that may have slipped through aswell as test the load on servers and so on.

think its long enough what we have now tbh and the game should be bang on for release with maybe a patch on release day aswell

"The Open Beta will help us deliver a robust gaming environment from day one," Troedsson wrote. "The fact that Battlefield 3 is clearly our biggest game launch ever by a magnitude of six makes it doubly important to test everything."

Caspian border/vehicles...? :rolleyes:

Whos raging? Its called stating facts. Dice have just done this to be able to claim a large amount of unlocks in the game. I wouldnt mind if they were all different, but even shotguns can get sniper sights, holo sights, etc. Whats the point of that?, just to boost their unlock count.

Don't worry DG's just trolling, he's been doing it for weeks and weeks now.. Some other members were saying the same while I playing online. Not sure why dg has changed so much, used to be a decent bloke up until the summer time

But 34k surely cant be wrong?? this games riddled with bugs, everyone hates it, the browser sucks, i cant be in a squad, metro sucks, its rubbish, 12 million fanboys ffs! this sucks.............

To be fair the squad issue has fundamentally broken the game, but I'm sure it will be fixed for retail.

RavenXXX2 · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:27

Loving this game, how every weapon has basically low or no recoil, watching support standing with a small machine gun and owning over mid range is amusing to say the least.

RavenXXX2 · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:31

Gonna be a statement on squads in the next few says, it better go along the lines of ' in game full squad management will be fully implemented for the game release '

Bazajaytee

We have it through today, we just have to write it up in an informative way we can post with some other FAQ's so we can clear up the confusion. Being realistic, it will most likely be posted in the next couple of days in the NEWS section.

DICE has left it far too late to set up a proper BETA to push out temp fixes and get real feedback, this is what is annoying to people, and if it was truly a BETA, they wouldn't be using an old build of the game, they would be using their latest and greatest to see if any new bugs occur so they can fix them before release. It's very much them just stress testing the servers and calling it a BETA to shut people up. Why people can't see this, I don't know.

It shouldn't be annoying for people if they don't set their expectations beyond what has been promised. This multi-platform beta served Dice's contractual obligation to deliver a beta and stress test their new infrastructure.

That tells me dice have not thought about team play at all...
They where hoping to change the dynamics for battlefield series and get away with it.

What that means is over a million people complain about all the fixes needed, we can get the game everyone is looking for....

Uhhh guys, I shot down an MAV today.... they're not meant to be in beta?

Pighardia · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:51

Is there an official line from Dice about squad management atm?

shadowcreaper · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:54

i just found a huge glitch/bug/ who knows maybe it isnt.

bassically it means you can fire LMGs+ARs full auto with 0 recoil and nearly 90-100% acc.

been testing and it quite shocking, i fired a LMG ful auto and had 0 recoil.
then tried burst fire and had massive recoil, single shot was even worse lol.

somone claimed it isnt a bug, i hope it is or game going to be rather boring if we all use LMGs

edelweiss800 · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:56

im just waiting for the nabs to keep whining bout overpowered guns tbh just shoot or be shot if you find them too overpowered play h/c tbh, i would like them to stay the same people actually die which is a new thing for bf ?

Yeah it's screwed up, full auto is more accurate than burst fire, is burst fire to much for the COD crowd to understand so Dice went and dumbed down the weapon handling.

Yes becuase it's fun to be owned by any noob scrub just because they can go full auto and get kills with no skill required, previous games you need to control fire to some degree to get good accuracy and you got kills, that's not so in BF3 and that's why the scrubs loving how the guns are so easy to use and get multiple kills with no effort at all.

Never had a problem getting kills in past battlefields, then again you couldn't run and gun in them going full auto and expect to get kills.
