    I'm really enjoying it, it's not may favourite map, but I'm pretty sure it'll be my least favourite map in the full game too, there'll be plenty of other maps to play on.

    Watching the Quick Look on Giant Bomb yesterday they mentioned that the BETA build of the game is 3-4 weeks old too as they had to submit the BETA to Microsoft and Sony for certification. I know most of the people they're targeting with the beta won't be aware of that so could still do more harm than good.

    Saying that I love the overall feel of the game. The class system tweaks and there's some nice touches. The fact that I keep playing games on a map that I'm not too keen on says enough to me that I'm going to really enjoy the full game.

    It's strange though that they picked a map with the least Battlefield-specific elements, like destruction and vehicles. I suppose they didn't want to overwhelm the COD crowd they seem to be trying to entice, but they may have shot themselves in the foot.

    I fcuking hate Prone .

    If I come across another camper just lying prone at the m-com I think I will scream .

    The knife kill sequence is great , just wish we had a head stamp for killing those prone campers.

    That is a fantastic idea
    I'm not a fan of prone meself.
    Also, the buggy falling through the floor is so fcuking annoying

    Hi guys,

    I have been testing the beta throughout the weekend and despite the "terrain" bugs, rendering issues and dozen of other glitches, I am really into this game.

    This game is even more fun when you have a team of people willing to cooperate and play together, I can remember many crucial moments in the beta, when our side won because a couple of squad leaders played it smart, their teams respawned and people were covering teammembers' asses...

    Anyway, are there any people willing to play together, cooperate and prefer team action instead of trying to conquer everything by themselves?

    Maybe we could play together in beta while waiting for the full version?

    It is even more annoying, when those guys in the holes are killing you through the ground, and you can't even see it coming...

    Anyway, in this game I don't think "camping" fits too much, I mean, when you are a sniper with a precision optics and rifle, what are you supposed to do, run in the middle of action?

    Not sure if this is true as I didn't get a chance to check yet on the Playstation. I just seen this on the web while checking BATTLEFIELD 3:

    I like it anyway, played it for a few hours last night and tried to run and gun and ran into a few groups defending and attacking as a unit.

    After realising my mistakes, I teamed up and enjoyed it, I could be tempted to get this.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully

    Because such a high player count is only possible on pc so checking it out on console ain't gonna happen .

    sorry if this hass already been discussed in the thread....but how do I mute players. I had a late start today so I decided to get a quick round in. There was the most annoying little **** online and it was too early in the morning just to ignore him. I tried various settings, but couldn't seem to mute the guy. I can handle being swallowed up by the environments and being forced to commit Hara Kiri, though having to listen to an annoying **** pre -coffee is too much.

    Knife sequence VERY satisying, even when I get knifed by some guy I know that he was clever enough to sneak up and can do it without being spotted by someone on my team.

    Diving to prone while being fired up is more satisfying than it should be.

    Biggest problem is that it keeps crashing everytime I try to enter a game with a squad of my friends. Tried about 6 times last night to no avail.

    The first Objective A seems just have holes in the ground everywhere, I completely stay away from it just to avoid falling through the ground into grey hell.

    One of the lads spotted that the lighting is a bit off in the tunnel. You could have two soldiers in the same corner, one will be lit up as if he's outside by the other will be hidden in the dark.

    Beta build that we're all playing seems buggy as hell and is starting to put off me and the lads, but we know better than to judge something purely by beta. Besides, I have it paid off so I may as well play it when it arrives. :pac:

    Hey mate, I am thinking about this myself but the only thing that came to my mind is to connect your Bluetooth headset to the ps3 and hopefully, the chatter will be redirected to the headphones...
    Haven't tried it myself, so not sure, if only chatter transferred or the whole game sound as well :/ In X360 only voice chat was redirected if I remember correctly, so if this is the case for PS3, connect your headset and just put it aside somewhere :)

    My initial thought was, that is Alpha, pre-Alpha and not Beta... With issues like this I would be ashamed to send this to public for testing, I mean it shows no proper testing on their side, excuse me, no basic testing.
    Anyway, I haven't preordered the game myself, I am wondering if I should just wait and see. If they are realeasing beta of this quality 1 month before the final version...

    The beta code was an old build at least 3-4 weeks old, so the beta is basically the build 2 months before release.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭NotorietyH


    I'd be interested anyway, moreso when the full game comes out. Or if they release a new map in the beta!

    Yep and confirmed by DICE Ceo here

    I think they know they are getting flamed on the issues with the BETA so released the above statement to let people know that they are practically playing an Alpha version .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Leiva


    Just seen this over in AH ...:D



  • Registered Users Posts: 625 ✭✭✭yermanoffthetv


    Theyd want to sort these(rather large ammount of) glitches sharpish if its out on the 28th. The caspian border cartwheeling vehicles glitch is just downright sloppy even for a beta :mad:




    Edit: This they can leave in, because its bloody hilarious (player with lowest score maybe?)

    Just a note for those worrying about console graphics...
    An interesting nugget of news has come out of last night's Battlefield 3 preview event in San Francisco held by EA and DICE. While speaking with GamerZines, DICE's Patrick Liu revealed that the game would allow players to install content from one disc that would let the game stream higher resolution textures.

    "There's a voluntary install on the 360," Liu said to GamerZines. "I think Rage did it as well, where you can install content to stream higher res textures. We're pushing that technology to the limit, and compared to our competitors, I would argue that we're the best looking game."

    IGN reached out to EA for a statement or confirmation on this additional feature, and they responded:

    "Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 ships on two disks with endless hours of spectacular high-definition gameplay; disk one features the stunning multiplayer, co-op levels and HD installation content, and disk two features the superb single-player campaign."

    Additionally, we asked EA whether or not the game would offer the same feature for PS3 owners, and fortunately this seems to be the case. "The PS3 version requires the same install but it's all on the one blu-ray disk," a spokesperson for the company confirmed.

    So, it appears that the game will offer support for HD installations across both platforms, resulting in better looking graphics in exchange for some HDD real estate.

    I can't get into a game of the beta for some reason. It wont find any servers. Was working ok a few days ago.

    Anyone else having troubles?

    It feels like an Alpha. This is one of the buggiest and sloppiest betas I have ever played and that's from scrappy PC betas back to the late '90s.

    Alot of betas these days are almost the finished articles and there is little to tell it from the final product so this beta is a bit of a shocker, especially to the console community but PC gamers have had this type of thing for decades.

    I just hope this beta does not hurt the sales and drive most of the console gamers towards MW3 thinking BF3 is a right out mess of a game.

    I think Beta and Demo have been mixed up recently. A Beta is purely for testing not to showcase the game. Developers recently though have shot themselves in the foot offering beta access as pre order or PS+ bonus so players get hyped about getting to play the game and don't actually test it. I doubt many people here have taken the time to write to DICE with a list of issues. :D

    Just read that the betas prime role was to test the server infastructure as they wanted to avoid the BF1943 situation of servers crashing constantly due to overload. If thats true then fair enough, its over now anyway so well have to wait for the release to see if it matches the hype/criticism.


  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭valdigre


    Yeah, I could not connect to beta yesterday... Have they finished the official testing period?

    Does this mean I won't manage to unlock F2000, I only had 10000 credits left :D

    Right, so what is the best deal on Battlefield 3 for PS3.

    Amazon.co.uk has it for £37.97 with free shipping. Is this the best?

    Thanks!
