I'm finding the community right now is very upset and split on what to make of this game. I find it a-lot of fun but the beta map does no justice to the Battlefield game. No tanks, small linear, etc. So obviously it feels like your playing Call of Duty. (If COD was only this awesome)
The graphics are amazing and I hear Ultra isn't even in yet. My 550ti runs the game great on "ultra" though I believe that is just high for beta. The guns look great, and destruction is very real. Even the little details, such as light coming off shots, or smoke coming from where the bullet casing are flying out are amazing.
The sounds are among the best for a game, except I don't like the sounds during when you get ribbons and such after the match. It kinda sounds "crackly"...it's unpleasant to me anyway. Like if my speaker is having a problem or something. (There is nothing wrong with my speakers)
The gameplay, for the small map, feels okay. I can't judge it to much because the maps are so small it's normally a spray and pray situation, but once we get more open maps i'm sure I can judge it better. Hit boxes seem pretty good to me. Guns have some nice recoil, but I do find myself unloading in full auto to kill someone in a distance. I have shot in single bursts with my M16 type gun from a distance and see it hitting them but normally doesn't kill them, full auto tends to work the best.
This is what I find strange, or dislike about the game:
If you check the Battlefield official forums, the community is pissed about Battlelog, I have never seen so many people against it. I really don't know what to make of it to be honest. I love to use Google Chrome but since it's so CPU heavy I use IE instead.
Overall, i'm keeping my pre-order if that is a sign of anything. I really do enjoy the game and understand it is a beta, and changes will come along with more maps, and most anticipated Vehicles...especially Jets. I just can't picture jet's flying around right now, it almost feels like the engine won't support it. So I'm really curious how they look, feel, and move!
Remember this is just my opinion.
What are your thoughts on the beta, or comments to mine?

This is what I find strange, or dislike about the game:
- Guns, and ammo/medic packs seems to have no physics, and don't move...They should.
- There is no Team Points displayed on Stats even at the end of the round(COD style) [Only Kills and Deaths]
- The flicker from the scopes is to exaggerated and need to be reduced.
- The flashlight needs to be (just a tad)slightly reduced.
- Rush mode still $u*k$ in my opinion and don't understand making us beta test this console garbage mode...It's a BF game, let us beta test conquest.
- I don't know if it is just beta but people Rank up way to fast...BC2 fast, unlike BF2. I like the ranks, I just don't like this idea that 9 months down the road everyone will be "General" I enjoyed BF2's system ALOT more..isn't this a sequel to that..guess im mistaken =p
- From what I read, and I have to agree BF3 is a sequel to BC2 not BF3. Doesn't mean it's not an amazing game it's just not much like BF2 at all right now. Maybe a different map will open more insight. I'm unsure.
- Don't like the current position and color/transparency of the chat box, i do like that it disappears when no chat is going on.
- No cammo rose including no way to Press Q over someone for help leads me walking around with no ammo, like seriously! BF2 had it, isn't this a sequel! No way to say thank you, or anything.
- You can clear a room with a knife, and the animation cannot be interrupted. (I did this and since you can't disrupt the animation I just went person to person as they couldn't hit me) very very sad. COD style.
