    BETA almost 24 hrs later

    I'd like others who have played to post here as well.

    1) The game looks very good.

    2) The game is fun and I HATE Rush.

    3) 64 player Conquest should be simply amazing.

    4) Things are different from BF2, times change, games change, even people change. Adapt and overcome!

    5) The graphics are nothing short of amazing. The better your rig, the better it looks. CPU seems more important than GPU.

    6) The Coms/Battlelog system makes it very easy for friends to cluster in the same server, pick a server then gather there is very simple and works well.

    7) I strongly dislike not having pings in the scoreboard, for me as a server operator I spend half my time watching player pings to determine server performance. Also as a player it is hard to understand why your game experience is bad, with no way to determine how you are interacting with the server. I would also like to see PL added to the scoreboard.

    I'd like to see chat a little more prominent and allowed to continue after round end.

    9) At present it looks as of our TS server may continue to be the best way to go for VOIP in BF3.

    10) So far I have been unable to bind keys for my mouse, however in the Alpha we could not bind any keys - that was brutal for those of us with wildly different keypad layouts.

    11) TS has been very helpful for us to ask and get answered "How do you _____".. We need to make a list of the FAQs we are hearing and answering in our TS channel and post it here.

    12) Not sure how I feel about an assault guy also being the medic.

    13) Not sure what HC will be like.

    14) Regardless I'm switching that killcam off on every server I will ever run.

    15) Snipers on Rush when they can lie on their stomachs are a bit of a problem, but not as annoying as HC BC2.

    16) I keep getting killed by guys laying on the ground, I keep assuming they are dead bodies.

    17) Several folks saw some major dolphin diving happening yesterday.

    1 The frigging flashlight is like a flash-bang in CS:S !!!! Most people hate that flashlight - at least having it shined on their faces.

    19) I'm not a fan of the way you jump over things at times, where our guy has to drag his legs over the obstacle first, then push his body forward.

    20) I agree with others who say it would be nice to have an option to turn off the in-game language. That would make many folks happy, and woujld detract absolutely nothing from the gameplay. BF2 and 2142 were just fine without the in-game characters swearing up a storm.

    21) At present only the top 12 on each team are shown on the scoreboard, I believe you can scroll, but not many people will show up easily in a 64 player game.

    Overall this version is much improved from the BETA and the game is fun, even if we are only playing Rush !!

    - This game is absolutely not just a boosted bfbc2, it's a whole new game and it feels fresh

    - About proning.. dead bodies.. dead bodies everywhere.. but definitely an advantage for my play style, so I'm getting used to it.

    - Metro is a very graphic heavy map, as in, it's easy to overlook an enemy that's right beside you, bfbc2 was still very much like bf2, where the maps were made very simple so that you could clearly differenciate players and movement in your view, this is one of the things that differentiates this game from the previous versions, and I can't say for sure if it's for good or bad, but I'm getting used to that, too. I'm expecting the rest of the maps to be equally as confusing, in a good/bad way.

    - Flash lights, if you DARE whine that I team killed.. after you melted my eyes with this, then do think about investing in some toy cars and barbies, because this a new a toy and it's made for big boys, use it to blind enemies, fine, but expect consequences in a hardcore server. (And I don't mean that I'll kill you if you blind me, I'll kill you if you blind me and I mistake you for an enemy because of that.)

    - Battlelog is very smooth, even though the game is still in beta it's not buggy enough to disappoint me, it crashed a couple of times though, and I'd like a way to join servers without having to scroll up and down to find the "join server" button, it's SORT OF broken!

    - Rush definitely isn't a downside to my play style, I snuck up on so many squads and wiped a couple of guys from behind a bunch of times!

    - It's a beta, players are BAD, people stand in your way when you try to save their buttocks, people don't cover their sides/buttocks, they are too busy pushing buttons and trying to make make da killz! Well wake up or I'll make make the boom, obviously you'll lose in rush if you don't push back the attacking team, obviously you'll lose in rush if you don't sometimes die for the cause!

    - Again, it's a beta.. with free access at that, I was already tked 2-3 times by battlefield haters that still had pre release keys, I'm afraid of what it will be tommorow.

    - I'm having a lot of fun, you guys better get used to every new features, the animations and everything else that comes with it, or I'll make make the boom on you on oct. 25!

              Flashlights, ahhhhgggg. I agree with that one. They do melt your face and I will not hesitate to fire a few rounds in the direction its shining on me from.

              Scope glint. Love it when I am not sniping, hate it when I am!

              Until I unlocked a few sights and the shock paddles I wasn't excited about any of the kits but they were easy unlocks and make a WORLD of difference.

              Thanks to the folks who pointed out how to modify my weapons, that was not real obvious to me.

                  This is turning into a flashlight hate thread lol, I gotta admit, I kind of love them, I don't use them, but think they really give a new feel to the game, as much if not more than all the new features! IMO they could lower the effective range and brightness in day light a tad bit.

                    - The game is great. It just need a few graphical tunings like the bobbing/sliding when prone in certain sections of the map and the white flashes everyone is getting.

                    - I LOVE THE AFTER-DEATH CAMERA. Seriously, it allows people to spot and retaliate against campers. If it was up to me, Cain, I would leave it. No one should just sit in one part of the map and be stationary.

                    - Flashlights add a new tactical addition to the game but I do agree that team griefers will take advantage of it.

                    - This game is no BF2 but it feels like a natural transition. I am very happy with the game and I hope it's a hit like BF2 and UT04 was for Cain's Lair

                      -Where is the Comma Rose?

                      -Why are you not able to select and view squads?

                      -I agree that the Death cam should go, I hate it.

                      -64 player Conquest obviously seems like a completely different game compared to Rush mode.

                      -Game is Gorgeous

                      -Why is there no in game VOIP? It worked so well in BF2 and 2142, and since then they messed it up... It would be nice as it helps teamwork tremendously.

                      -Once this game gets polished it will be insane. This may be the only game I play for at least a year lol.

                        I feel your pain. Those things are wicked bright, and will shine a long ways. Cant see anything much less shoot straight. I just hold the trigger down and hope I get lucky cause there aint no way to see where to shoot.

                        I havent unlocked much yet. Didnt get to play much because it was late when I finally got on. That,and most of the old timer CLR's had to GO TO BED. What a bunch of light weights.

                        I didnt really want to play with a bunch of folks I didnt know. I wish we could pick our squads. Hard to play with guys you dont know, and dont know their play style.

                        Will try to get in there later today.

                        Oh, the rank up and achievment music is kick ass.

                          I gotta admit, campers are annoying! But we didn't need that sort of thing in bfbc2, traditionally, it has nothing to do in hardcore mode, it makes things too easy for the enemy when you want to sneak without actually camping, it forces people to bring their skill up a notch and actually move carefully instead of running like a raging bull towards their killer's location!

                          tl;dr: I'm against the death cam!
