Thread: Beta Impressions and Thoughts

glad they took the vehicle out.....

I think that all the maps are balanced, which is not what I would do. I would set it up for attackers have an advantage in the first map, but later on the Mcom's are more emplaced..... Right now I feel if the attackers can get the first spot quickly they are going to win no matter what.

Rush mode...not my play style..so far I don't see the players playing as a squad or even helping other players. 12v12 so I'm thinking It's a console game I'm watching.

Guns have lots of nifty gadgets to make your killing more effective. Scope with laser or infra red..etc.

Destruction thingy is ok...could use a rocket to create a crater so you can have deffilade cover but game is not that realistic effects wise.

4 classes.....feels limited. I don't see a difference in attributes if you choose one or the other..meaning if you choose spec-ops/sniper you should have faster sprint or camoflage from enemy uav etc..vs.... choosing a support gunner having better body armor and/or slower sprint from carrying all that ammo.

The bushes/terrain needs to be destroyed effects wise....the bushes are still green and thick even from all the carnage...bushes could use some thinning out from effects of battle so either team can't use it for cover any more. Evetrhing else like barriers and concrete was destroyable.

Didn't see the APC at all...must be coz of console?

Trigger...I'm only impressing my thought from watching the beta live stream...don't know if the stream is console only or mixed with PC.

own3D.tv - OrigineTV.FPS - Livestream

His video quality is not high but his FPS is pretty good. I see them using rockets in the tunnel but the walls the rockets hit are not destroyed..where's D-2.0...and he just runs by the incapacitated players without a revive..typical non team player.

Also have not witnessed any T-bagging...Fuckin' noobs.

The fps txt is fraps... so definitely pc also there are windows functions on the top right.

Thanks Warprosper....so far the players in game I've watched have not bunny hopped or dolphin dived...big difference from when BF2 came out....This player is only using med/assault kit..would like to see the engineer kit with mortars and uav unlocks.

I think this player is running in low or medium resolution?

Before you flame me, I understand this is a beta. This thread is called "Beta Impressions". I am giving my impressions of the beta. I know some of the kinks will be worked out.

Here are my thoughts and opinions:

The Bad:
-The game launches in a browser by default? Why would fullscreen not be the first option?
-1/3 of the time I dive I wind up inside of some object. Then I am running around half underground.
-I feel like I am behind an object and I get shot still. Constantly.
-I will be in a closed room and it will sound like someone is in the room shooting with me when they are actually outside and to the north of me. I felt like I was constantly swinging around to see a dude next to me and nobody was there.
-You cant use menu options or even quit... unless you are alive and in game? Insane.
-I hate rush game mode.
-I can't go too far from the action? How the fuck am I supposed to flank or get around their main line? The snipers and support just have to train their weapon at one location and mow everyone down.
-No voice == nobody working together. Its a free for all out there.
-Destructible environment? My nade knocked a tree down... that was about it. Oh and I could shoot windows.
-No real recoil
-Really, IAR is the default for support? Three of the Four classes get a M-16/AR-15/M4 style weapon. Not impressed with the versatility before you have to start unlocking weapons. SCAR, M249, MP5, etc. Something else should have been thrown into the mix by default.

The Good:
-Didn't crash.
-Ran stutter free on high settings.
-I love shooting the guns. Very satisfying.
-You have a knife (I am BrockSamson).
-The graphics are pretty.

Overall:
Ran and looks great. I fucking hate Rush game play mode and the game mode doesn't belong anywhere in my BF3 PC game.

you should copy paste this in a feed back to dice/ea if there is that option hopefully they are bugs that will be fixed and snipers just watch out for the glare off the scopes they shouldnt be to much of a problem unless they are skilled snipers and try supressive fire just spam fire over heads and it will make things blurry for them least in alpha it did not to blurry but a bit
