What are your first impressions from beta? I personally see a lot of improvement needed because the games seems very glitchy. But overall I had a pretty good time gaming tonight. If beta was a huge improvement over alpha then I hope the final version will be even better. I would have also liked to have seen some vehicles but I guess that will have to wait.

What is strange is that they had an APC in the Alpha.

I crash every (Exactly to the second) 15 minutes. However I have enjoyed every minute of it. Very good game. Snipers take 3 shots from far away, that's why no one is complaining. Pistols aren't useless. I bet I'll have the same crashing issue when the final product comes out, sadly. The only thing I hate about this game is the battlelog. It's quite stupid to not have a real ingame browser. Battlelog is absolute rubbish.Comment

Phan, have you updated to the latest video drivers? If you have an Nvidia Card the beta drivers are optimized for BF3. I have them and they work great no issues.
One change I hope they make when the game goes live is the ability to choose your squad. Why the beta does not have the ability to choose which squad you want to play in is beyond me.
A minor complaint is when you scroll to throw out a medic bag you do not return to your last used weapon. You still have a medic bag in your hands. And the flashlight will blind you. I can see this becoming an asshat trick for team mates like door blocking was in DOD.
I wish they had picked a different map for the beta. Gulf of Oman was a great choice for BF2. It was a great mix of terrain and vehicles.
Overall I like the game and just hope they fix the bugs. In some places outside, when you are prone, you are under the map.

How are the squads functioning? Spotting? I'll be in tomorrow, but until then, how close to BF2 is this thing trending?

You didn't see my thread about the crashes? This is a common problem, it shouldn't stay, I searched the intranetz and were not the only one!Originally posted by K PhaNTOM View PostComment

Before updating to the drivers the game didn't even run. After fresh drivers... that. It's annoying because you see that little sign in the bottom that says "saving" every 2 minutes and you think "Great, I won't be losing progress" but I have gotten promoted to level 1 13 times today. It does not save.Comment

When someone spots an enemy you see a little orange targeting carat over their head.

I haven't actually looked into the details of the Beta much, but am i right in thinking it's the same map as the Alpha and nothing new?

They took out the APC and moved some mCom locations. Apart from that, just about the same but looking prettier.Originally posted by juneau View PostComment

I am finding it quite enjoyable but the lack of vehicles is killing me
Performance was acceptable, stability was a bit sketchy at times but overall I think so far its a suitable next generation for BF2.
The thing I currently miss most is a commander of all things. I miss the coherent teamwork a good commander could provide.

Well, I didnt play but a bit last night cause it took forever for me to download the game and drivers. I just have to get used to the massive recoil on the weapons. Unless you are pretty close to an enemy, rapid fire is useless. Kinda like DOD.
I game is really jerky for me but that is mostly due to 35 - 40 fps. Bout all I can get on medium settings with 2x AA.
I really dont like the way the kits are set up. Nothing is fast about fixing things and you cant change anything until you spawn each time. It's really time consuming and tedious. BC2 was very fast in between spawns. And you could change stuff while you waited to respawn.
It's a good game, but I'm kinda disappointed so far in the Beta. Just hope the finished product is better. That plus I hope we never ever run that Metro map at the Lair. Choke points are very bad. If you get a good squad covering all the entry points you'd never get past that point in the underground tunnel.
One good thing though is snipers have a hell of a time hiding and shooting. That glint is tough to miss. It even glints while you run. I shot it a bit and you have to change to your pistol while running or else everyone will see you and you dont last long. But thats a good thing. Plus unless you get a head shot it aint one shot one kill. Thats a good thing too.
