Im downloading it now lets see if its any good
fps isent so good on console but lets see.

Can't you open the player list during ingame and mute that way? Normally that's what most FPS do on consoles.

Doesn't seem to be an option for it.

i got a 42 inch Tv and i can hardly see the people on the screen its so blurred this game its like they blur it up to hide the grapichs..

The game looks good to me. I do notice vision is blurred when you get hit. Besides sinking into the floor I'm having fun with it.

I notice another horrible thing when you get shot at your character freezes and you cant move its like your a target standing still.

Hmm haven't experienced that yet if anything I think that's only a beta problem

[Dracarys]

Fuck these false betas. We are not testing out shit all in this game and there is no way in hell they could fix all the problems by launch. This is an old build they been tossing about at gameshows for months and they releasing it as a 'beta' because if they did an actual demo is woud have to actually work properly and have some quality control behind it.

Calling it a beta means they can just release a pile of shit and not be accountable.

This is pretty bad. Ignoring the fact that the addition of laying prone gave everyone the idea of laying in bushes on every corner of the map, thus making bushwookies twice as annoying, the game looks and feels like a mess. "BUT IT'S A BETA!" So why release this to the public less than a month before launch? They lost a potential buyer in me.

And as far as I'm concerned, they could be sued for false advertising because every trailer and gameplay video they released has looked 10x better than the way this game looks on PS3 right now. For a game that has been touted NON-STOP for its visuals, I don't see any reason for owning this on a console...they're nothing special at all.

On top of that, the controls somehow feel clunky and floaty at the same time. Sprinting decides to work whenever it wants to, leaving me clicking L3 over and over again to flee a squad of camping pussies only to die when I can't sprint at all. The melee animations are a good idea but are executed poorly. Put all of this into the stupid Battlefield staple of only being able to talk to three other people at a time, and this game is seriously mediocre.

MW3 FOREVER, AMMARITE?

Is this the year for disappointing beta's or something? First UC3, now this? Bleh. I'll definitely play this more, but I think I'm going to give this one a big, FAT pass. Bad Company 2 seems like the better game(on consoles at least). I really dislike how there's no squad rush mode in BF3(as that was one of my favorites). Not to mention, it really damped my mood that the squad thing doesn't actually work in the game. You may wind up on the same team as your friends, but it's like the game is hell bent on you not playing with them. I'm sorry, but Battlefield 3 is no DICE for me!

I simply don't need it. If I want a shooter, I got Bad Company 2, Team Fortress 2(on PC), and Goldeneye Source. Don't need it or Cock-O-Doodee, so I suppose that's my verdict.

And I wanted it to be so different . . . .

[Dracarys]

They claim squads will not be split in full release, they weren't in BC2...

The damage bothers me most, objective based game + bottlenecks + insanely high damage is retarded. CoD has this type damage but at least it doesn't force teams down bottlenecks where easy pickings. If it doesn't change I will just be a vehicle whore and leave game when a infantry map comes round. Rush will be a dead mode to me.

If people want CoD gameplay they will buy CoD. We saw how MoH ended.

But you don't even PLAY GoldenEye Source or TF2!

Whadya mean? I seem to recall us playing GE Source last Saturday, no? Now that I can use my 360 controller on my PC, PC gaming is viable to me(well, not anything Battlefield 3 graphical heavy) since I more or less don't have any desk setup for my bluetooth mouse to work off of when it comes to first person gunplay. . .and even if I did, I've dropped/knocked it on the floor so much, it's not exactly precise anyways. But yeah, I'm up for PC games these days--so keep that in mind!

It's a shame it's like it is. Ironic, really, since DICE was proclaiming the way to beat Modern Gayfare was to build a "better" game. . .but talking the talk is a far different thing than walking the walk apparently, since it seems alot of changes are there to entice the average Call of Duty player. Which seems, to me, to be leading to nothing more than a lukewarm reaction. Oh well.

ok i hear alot of hate on this but i have to say someone who has never played any of the battlefield games but bad company 1 so i gotta say its more tactical than MW2 or 1. I end up staying with my squad to stay alive.

I do enjoy it causei have to think alot more than i do in MW3.

I gotta say the only thing i do hate is sometimes the buttons just die. only complaint but since im getting both MW3 and BF3 i can at least give different comparisons to MP.

I've been playing it quite a bit and I must agree that the graphics in the beta were kinda bad. I saw a lot of PS3 footage on youtube and (from events and such) and it looked way better than this. My guess is that graphics were watered down on the beta. Look at the footage from Jimmy Falon and you'll see it's looks way way better. Otherwise I have encountered bugs like falling through the floor and even teleporting but nothing seriously gamebreaking.

I also find the damage to be more realistic as in real life. There's no way you can take 7 handgun bullets and live. Shotguns kill in one hit and automatic guns kill ya in just a couple seconds or less. I do hate the knife in this game though. The animations are cool but you are wide open when you use them. Also the knife as a quick melee weapon sucks. Three hits and you're dead, but three swipes is faster than the damned full knife kill animation.
