BF3 Beta disapoint

[Rambo]

Not getting a warm BF feeling from this Beta, even BC's Beta map was bigger and better than this!.Everyone knows me as critical and critical is what im going to be.

I mean WTF dice, its a BF game and not one vehicle..I also think the map is so small and i mean smaller than BC maps!.It is so liniar that at one point its only 2-3 tunnels to funnel people in.I get no freedom feeling that you had with BF game's, the game gives me no options to play any way i want.

I really cannot talk about any posatives yet because i dont know if this is even a BF game with this IO map.

They have shafted snipers so bad with this steady button and we now have to use three hands to play sniper.The lack of kits is obvious and will kill the game in the long run.

I am still going to keep my pre-order but they need to kick themselves in the arse because so far this is BF disapoint.


So far for a BF game it gets 4/10 from me.If ii was able to play the vehicle map then i could call this a BF game and give it a better score but i can only judge what i can see.

Don't judge the game on Metro. You will forget all about that map once you have tried Caspian Border.
It is literally a different game, it might as well have been from two different developers.

agree %100.

Caspian IS battlefield.
Metro is more a Inf only COD player friendly map.

Re: BF3 Beta disapoint

Considering it's a multiplat game I guess they decided to give this map with garbage rush mode to be fair with the consolers since they wanted to release it on all platforms. Already we are feeling the pain of being held back by the inferior 360! Go away 360, just die! /rant =p

Re: BF3 Beta disapoint

Just played caspian for about an hour and OH MY WORD IS IT GOOD.

Why on earth they havent opened this up to the public is beyond me. Hundreds of people are complaining that metro is shit and cancelling pre-orders, yet all they need to do is open this map to the public and every man and his dog would be buying the game.

Re: BF3 Beta disapoint

Ok well i will try that map when its availible , I really think EA should have had both maps ready because well Metro is shit!.

Re: BF3 Beta disapoint

I know this is a surprise, but I fully disagree with your comment that Valdez is a larger map than Metro. Metro is way wider and though it has choke points like any rush map would, has more of them and a lot more cover. It is way better designed than Valdez.

As for what you think, its what I thought you would think. Actually I am surprised you gave it as high a rating as a 4 and didnt say how this was just BC3 all along like you thought it would be.

Well they did just shut down the Caspian Border servers because they are through testing. I was never able to get into one of the servers to try the map.

You missed out. That was a fantastic map and I believe it will be one of the maps you will see running 24/7 in the full game.

Rambo, Caspian is definitely the map that you want. Trust me, that map will satisfy all your complaints.

Also Rambo, you think they shafted the snipers? IMO they are beast and the second best class after assault. The MK11 is a boss.

While I agree Caspian is a much better map all they effectively did with caspian is take the console map and zoom out some giving us useless outskirts with no point to traverse them and no objective except for the armor to camp on the hills.....they have all the flags smack dab in the center.....though they want to deliver that BF feeling on the top their final goal is painfully clear, a cluserfuk of COD infantry all in the center of the map while the vehicles duke it out on the edges of the map......that's not battlefield people....I'm just sayin.....wheres the big epic battlefield feeling because it surly isn't in Caspian if your focus is winning the game....felt like i was playing BFBC3.

I may sound a bit cynical but after giving a hardcore BF fan that atrocious mess of a beta i cant help myself, perhaps I had my sights set a bit too high for a beta but still, you can only do so much with half a core of a server, i wont expect much of the lag, rubber banding or hit detection to ever change unless they rework their server platform, you cant take "bleeding edge" technology and then cripple it server side to save a buck and extend profit margins and still expect to deliver a cutting edge experience.....it's a rubbery mess, it needs more computing power server side for 64 players....period.

They need to stop thinking about how many instances of the game they can cram onto one server and start delivering the quality gaming experience they are promising.........if they don't limit the amount of instances of the game they are running on one server I just don't think it's ever going to be a quality experience for 64 players.

I wont even bother going into the performance issues, it's a beta so I'll chalk that up to premature drivers and the current status of the product, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but with 3 6970 GPUS all cranking in trifire at 99% usage I shouldn't be dipping into the 40 fps area in spots with all my settings on the lowest possible ones available in game and in the CAT.

I certainly wont give finally judgment on a beta, it is a beta after all so I'm taking it all with a very large grain of salt, I mean even it blows I'll still be playing it because it's more about the team experience to me........... but i can honestly say this is the one of the messier beta's I've ever seen, there's just no way this will be game/competition ready in a month, it already feels "rushed".

Re: BF3 Beta disapoint

Just give the game time. It is a lot of fun and I am sure they will change things on the fly. I am happy to have my run and gun sniping back.
