I have to mention how retarded the water looks and reacts in the beta, the interactivity is even worse than BFBC1 (which had shit water effects btw). No movements, no sprites....nothing at all. Also its strange than neither your character, nor the gun casts shadows...well a lot of games don't have either but here you can see your character's body parts so it stands out.
[Multiplat] Battlefield 3

- Start date
I had the same confusion in the early days, so I copied his name and pasted it into notepad with good old Courier. It's that sort of problem solving that gets you a Modship here.
Oh. um. BF3. Yeah. Um...any good?
There's an open beta going on mister big clever mod. We also have a platoon ready and waiting for more recruits..
Btw, keep telling your story 'bout copy & pasting to notepad. We know the real truth...
...you force your browser to render all pages in Comic Sans!
Should have said that long ago.
Not everyone experienced "real" betas like PS+ members do. Free and cheap games aside, we also get thrown into all sorts of crude betas every week or so. Crashes, floating car side mirror, freezes, lags, micro stutters, disconnects, falling through floors, getting out of map, horrible animation, ... we have seen it all.
It's way better than Crysis MP.And lets not forget, Crysis MP demo was so embarrassing bad receiving massive hate,that they took off the store in like less than a week
After reaching level 32,I will be getting BF3 used.Just too many changes from BC2 that are worse,and things added that make it cheap.
The mobile spawn is stupid,it allows you to put a spawn location anywhere..like 5 feet from the MCOM leading to clusterF***!
And they took out MCOM destruction making it a camping fest.Put MCOM destruction back in and most campers go away because they have to do more defending instead of just staring at the MCOM waiting for someone to run up to it.
I beg for bush and MCOM destruction
BC2 doesn't have squad spawn ? How does it handle dying quickly and running back from spawn point repeatedly ?
KZ3 doesn't have squad spawn too. I think it's appropriate there because each soldier has tide turning super power. Squad spawning one or more super soldiers would throw things off severely. I had thought that it's not so bad to squad spawn a normal soldier in BF3. Apparently it could be a problem ? In KZ3, you spawn from the base or a tactical spawn point captured by your own team.
I think R3 spawns from a random teammate whereas KZ2 spawns off the squad leader.

What ? You can't destroy the MCOM in BF3 ? thats stupid, I used to fire my tank shells from miles away hoping to hit the mcoms in BC2

Really? What recent betas have they had other than KZ3, UC3, R3 and infamous 2 beta? Not really sure where these weekly betas are coming from, but I'm interested to know.
No, BC2 has squad spawns. Figured you'd realize that from the BC2 beta.

This is the very reason why I'm happy they made changes to how you destroy the MCOM. While you're on the attacking team, it was nice to blow up the MCOM from a distance, but was quite frustrating at times on the defending team.
Especially on servers where there is autoban for baserape.
BF3 is one of them ! I may miss out some but Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, LittleBigPlanet Move pack, Playstation Home, and some third party games I forgot, all ran beta at some point recently. They may overlap too. Some of them have multiple stages, lasting for more than a month (from private, to close to open, and then one more extra early demo). ^_^
I didn't attend all but some clearly felt like QA work.

I wasn't in that one. ^_^ (Like I said, too many betas; I don't even remember if BC2 had a user beta).
I think I tried 1943 once but couldn't get into it.
BF3 is my first Battlefield game if I buy it.
So MCOM is their mobile spawn point and it's indestructible now ? You can place a MCOM anywhere, or do you capture predefined ones ?
So really it's no different than any other platforms with various betas? Ok.
No, the MCOM stations are the units that you are trying to destroy or defend depending on what side you fall on. Once you destroy both MCOM stations in a given area, the front line is moved deeper into the defending team's controlled area. The attacking team must try to destroy every MCOM station before they run out of lives/respawn tickets.
There is an item called a mobile spawn point that can be placed for squad mates to spawn. On top of that, you also have the option to spawn on any squad member that is still alive.
Huh ? Do other platforms involve their gamers in flakey betas and position it as a customer benefit (e.g., for PS+ members only/first) ?
I see a lot more betas, especially as a PS+ member. It is not necessarily a good thing.
Ok, they are like objective nodes.
Can an enemy or a friendly player destroy a mobile spawn point ?
Yeah, they are the focal point for either side.
Yes, AFAIK the enemy can't see the mobile spawn point, but they can hear it.
No no, you can see it and hear it! It's destroyed with a few bullets. Simple as anything. It's not OP whatsoever.
Having people actually have to touch the MCOM has meant a much more balanced game. I've put in enough hours to see that already.
