Because people think Beta means full game.

Sup, Kotick

same shit that happened to spore, probably.
that is i mean to say, FUCK EA

i like the game

>>112033674
>one month before release
>beta

No.

>Battlelog=Battlefield Facebook

LETS GO HOOAH MORE THINGS

I think dice did it on purpose so when the real game comes out with actually battlefield maps with vehicles we get that awesome holy fuck feel

>>112033825
I'm more concerned with the horrible glitches.

people found out there won't be naval artillery, so it's not a real battlefield game

>>112033825
This. Operation Metro is fucking shitty.

>>112033825
Yes, because making people not want to play a game with the promise of "I'll be good when it's released!" is an excellent business strategy.

>>112033783

Because developers cant release patches.

>>112033825
>hoping the retail game will be drastically different from the beta

oh, to think i was once young and naive

I liked it. As battlefield infantry combat goes its a big improvement over the old ones. Cant wait to try some vehicals

They just used the worst map they could use.

The times I was able to play on Caspian Border it was a whole different experience, not joking.

>>112034007
>vehicals

This is the core audience of the Battlefield series now.
The game was dead before it was even announced.

FUCKING BABBIES, ALL OF YOU

DICE LAUNCHES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SHIT

IT TOOK 1 YEAR TO PROPERLY PATCH BAD COMPANY 2

Why do people actually believe that they wont be able to fix simple clipping issues and random shader glitches. ITS A FUCKING MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. just sit tight.

I actually thought it was quite good.

>Waiting in the tunnel for enemies to come down
>Rocket comes screaming down towards me but misses
>Four enemies jump in, their laser sights sweeping out ahead of them
>Suddenly, screen filled with red
>Panic and pull the trigger
>Rest of the laser sights fill my screen
>Brains all over the walls

That one moment was badass as hell.

>>112034115
This so much.

Metro and Caspian are like two different games, not just different maps.

>>112033903

DICE: "hey guys this game has a host of glaring bugs, we should fix this stuff"
EA: "NERF THESE WEAPONS SO MORE NOOBS CAN PLAY"
DICE: "yessuh massa, i's gonna shine dem boots real good fo yuh"

>>112034293
if ea made them nerf ump, theyd be gods of gaming.

Guys, just wait a couple months after release until its patched, theres no reason to get games day one. Just be patient, and your experience will be much more enjoyable.

For me:

Origin/Battlelog proved to be more intrusive than I ever thought possible, I knew it would be bad but jesus christ. The game feels like some weird internet browser game, kinda like Battlefield Heroes except less fun. The Metro map is linear as fuck yet somehow I'm always getting attacked from behind or shot through walls, not that it matter because if you're defending you will win 99% of the time. Bugs, bugs everywhere. Caspian Border was ok but compared to BF2 maps it's a definite downgrade. Amongst others I guess hype is gone because who the fuck wants to continue playing Metro all the damn time (why they chose the shittiest map ever as a demo (YES DEMO THIS IS NOT A FUCKING BETA YOU DO NOT BETA TEST A GAME 2 WEEKS TO LAUNCH) is beyond me) and I'm pretty sure everyone has realised there is zero point in learning a linear map or trying to level up when it won't carry over into the actual game anyway.

Dice and EA are just incompetent and do not give two farts about their customers.

>>112034206
I'll be having fun playing my vidya and not giving a fuck about spelling at this time of night, you enjoy your nerd rage.

>>112034213
SO FUCKING WHAT THAT GAME IS A PILE OF SHIT ANYWAY BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW BF3 IS EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME HUUUUURRRR

>>112034828
my 78% win ratio seems to imply defense doesnt win every game. and i dont play with friends or anything. just because you are terrible at the game doesnt mean defense wins 99% of the time. and battlelog works fine. game loads fast, internet browser is simple to load up and join/filter for games.

>>112034930
>I barely passed third grade and now instead of trying to better myself I lash out and get defensive at everything

Imagine that with somewhere around 10 grammar and spelling errors and you've got a rough idea of what you sound like.

On 360 this game looks worse than fucking mw2. How is it on PC?

It's only this bad on /v/, you know why?

/v/ is a community composed on angry, anti-socials. They hate every single game that is announced and feel accomplished when they catch a few errors in the game. So basically, they hate every game and by some twisted logic feel that they are correct in pointing out a few flaws in a game.

Because of this nature, if there's but one problem (there ALWAYS will be one, because it could be fucking anything, because the kids at /v/ ALWAYS have to be right) all of /v/ flips shit, the whiners from earlier will beat their chest and proclaim their vast intelligence and it's a viscous cycle from there.

Meanwhile, in other communities with more socially and mentally adjusted members they realize not everything is perfect, the game is fun, and they'll play their game and move on with life. All while the "bro" at /v/ will slowly/never develop as humans and continue to be angry and shallow until they die (alone).

>>112035144
What? It looks like the best thing an Xbox can do.

>>112034457
Why wait. The game should be enjoyable on release. There is no justification in buying a product for 60 bucks with the idea it's going to be better in six or seven months.

You're a fucking tool, and exactly the kind of people that EA loves.

>>112035190
Instead we should just say that every game is the best and let games stagnate like they have been for the past 5 years?
Great idea boy-o! Gold star!

when they released the beta they said it was old code, and a lot of stuff is left out, it is not the build they are still working on, just a stable point they had some time ago.
>mfw THE BETA IS STILL THE ALPHA

>But... it's Beta guys!

>>112035144
The tunnel part maybe, but the exteriors look amazing.

>>112035123
You....mad?

>>112035190
Or better yet you could not spend several paragraphs treating a community that you are part of as some hivemind and actually address some of the criticisms with the game raised in the thread.

Or are you too busy sucking Dices cock?

>>112035144
Pretty good. It feels suprisingly light as well, or at least it did until I installed the beta nvidia drivers and started to get memory management issues

>>112035342

Nah, you didn't read between the lines there.

/v/ is not mentally and socially adjusted. Therefore they can never make a real difference in games, you know why? Because all /v/ does is complain and flame at each other. They couldn't compose a solid, professional message to the developers if their lives depended on it.

Meanwhile, the normal people, who have been developing and becoming better human beings will typically report issues in a non-inane and non-retarded fashion.

I mean, you don't actually think /v/'s behavior is helping games do you?

>>112035373
the list of shit they say is fixed in the current version to quiet all this 'beta=final' talk doesnt even include all the broken shit people are complaining about. this is the final release. the 'bug fixes' they list are superficial shit. not even stuff like aiming down sights during reload disabling aiming/removing crosshair or sprint stops working randomly or people under the terrain type shit.

The biggest problem I have with the beta is that rush mode is completely fucking retarded. Metro, or at least the part we're allowed to play, is also far, far too linear. Hell, the game won't even let you run far behind to the enemy lines and will bitch about being out of the combat zone. I don't mind that when it prevents spawn camping, but the allowed zone is far too small.

Anyway, Rush mode is the worst part, especially infantry only. It gives no benefit at all to one side over the other, if the attackers eventually succeed. If the attackers take the first two point with 5 tickets left, or 95, it makes no difference at all, they still get reset to 100 tickets for the next set of objectives. If defense does really well and just slips up when there are only 5 tickets left, attackers shouldn't have their poor playing just wiped away. Likewise, if attackers steamroll the defense, they should at least get some kind of benefit. Right now, they can't even run ahead to the next set because that's "out of the combat area."

Well, I don't suppose my views on this are unique.

To be fair, for what it is, and for me coming from BF2/2142 straight to BF3, I like the beta enough. When I got into caspian border, I liked it enough to put in my preorder, because of EA's day one "expansion pack" bullshit. I'm also having fun with the beta on metro, though it is repetitive. However I can say that if this beta (now that caspian is completely gone) was supposed to sell me on BF3, it would have failed completely.

When BF3 comes out, I doubt any servers will be running rush mode, or at least, none will be running Metro Rush. The BF2 multiplayer demo was so much better, Gulf of Oman is a great map that has everything.

Join /v/'s Platoon! This is the second one since the first is full, but please still become a Fan of the first.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2826550451891454974/

Also, I think it's the alpha still, just with items thrown in. It's going to be much more polished. Dice wouldn't fuck up that bad.

They obviously choose this map because it's like for example something from CoD.

Shit beta.

>>112035626

I have been on /v/ for a while, but I also value my time and sanity. You want to know why I don't tackle some of /v/'s problems with the game?

Because it's fucking impossible. /v/ will always come up with a new bullshit argument just so they don't "lose". And even if I am able to put everyone in the thread in their places, there will be new threads, or new people in the current thread who will bring the EXACT PROBLEMS up again because they can't read the previous posts.

Personally, I don't care to "win" /v/ over. Seriously, would you want the typical /v/ being in YOUR game?

>>112036043
This is the point where a less bitchy version of yourself would cook up a copypasta image

fuck me i just got open beta today.
its hardly fucking playable
its so clunky, awkward and the netcode sucks dick

I dont know about you guise but i like the beta alot
>Dat sound
>Dose Guns
>Dat infantry gameplay

I got into one of the caspian border servers and I must say that it rapes the shit out of metro.

How do you play Caspian Border?

>>112036043
Some people just want to watch the world hate.

>>112036043
>Have zero counter-arguments
>"HURR I DON'T EVEN CARE /v/ SUCKS ANYWAY I HOPE I NEVER PLAY WITH THEM EVER AGAIN!"

4chan is 18+ just so you know.

>finally unlock flashlight
>run around blinding my teammates and enemy
>people raging in the chat

>>112036043

>implying the constant complaint thing is exclusive to /v/

It's human nature. People will always bitch about something, deal with it.

Hey remember when the Titans in 2142 were fucking laggy as shit on release but they fixed it. Granted it was just stop them moving when their shields were down.

>>112036423

same here, no servers have it for some reason for me, what am I missing

>>112036451

There are counters for most of the shit /v/ brings up, but frankly, I don't give a fuck. You can use that as your "win" if that's what it's all about. I'll be busy enjoying the beta I'm not buying the game and my life and not arguing this meaningless shit all-fucking-day.

No more Caspian Border testing.

>>112036203

He likes the sound of his voice too much.

>I've never seen a game lose so much hype so quickly before.

Yeah, maybe on weekend /v/ it is. Are you guys new or something? This shit HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

Guess what happened with the BC2 beta? Shitstorm on /v/. Guess what happened when the game was released? BC2 generals, errewhere.

You guys are fucking warped.

>>112036296
it's... beautiful...

>>112037157
Evidence that the lighting system is turned down/off for beta, at least.

>2011
>implying maps with jets will be anything other than this

>>112037051

I don't even remember the BC2 beta. Was it on Harbor?

>playing on hacked servers
>about to finish
>game closes
>"You are missing levels or expansion packs needed to join this server"

why does it do this to me? am i missing some leaked info here?

>>112037307

Port Valdez.

>>112037300

2 out of 32 people camping the jet? Not a big deal.

>>112037382
It's not that.
It's people not using them and instead just fucking around.

>>112037307

Yeah, Valdes.
/v/ was bitching about the bullet drop and the sniper packs on hills.

Alright. I want this to be perfectly clear.

It is a good GAME.
How they set it up, how you join servers, how squads are completely fucked, the lack of ESSENTIAL features (such as using the options screen whilst dead, out-of-game server browser, et cetera) is completely and utterly ridiculous.

It is fun as fuck, I enjoyed myself while playing it. I've been playing at least 5 hours each day and I would love to see the other maps they've come up with. I suspect the vehicle combat will be great, the big open areas will be awesome, and 64 players will be stunning to see.

But I like what I like. I like my things just so, and because of this I will not be purchasing the game. I enjoyed it, and I'll be sad to not enjoy it with my other bros that will be playing it, but this is just the way it's gotta be for myself.

Fuck the haters. It's fun and enjoyable. But there is just too large of a sea of bullshit that I feel the journey isn't worth the effort. I had high hopes, and they came down just enough to where I refuse to justify it with "Oh, they'll make it better!"

Battlelog is an integrated part of BF3 and I think the devs will just throw their hands up and say fuck it when it comes to rewriting the code to appease people like me. For that I've got one phrase for them.

Fuck your shit.

It's a fucking beta on a shitty map
Deal with it pussy

ok why the fuck is the flashlight so blinding?

Battlefield fan here

I must admit this gamesucks

I hated BF3 way before everyone else did.


(no seriously, ,I always thought this game looked like shit. shame on you if you thought otherwise).

>>112037310
>>112037310
>>112037310
THIS

I JUST HAD A GAME WHERE ALL I DID WAS REVIVE AND HEAL

10K POINTS

AS SOON AS THE RUSSIANS GOT THIER LAST TICKET KILLED

"YOU HAVE LOST CONNECTION"

>>112037471

also the terrible performance, shitty server browser, and the spotting spam

Trust me, this thread and 90% of other BF3 threads lately are proof that the retards on this forum love shitting into a cesspool of shit rather than making a level-headed assessment of a BETA

>People still using the "IT'S A BETA!" excuse

The build is from June, name me a beta that has been this horribly buggy so close to release besides RO2. In fact name me a game which had a shit beta that turned out to be good on launch.

Not only that but there has never been a Battlefield game that has not had most of the problems its beta had that took DICE months to actually patch. Bad Company 2 is still a broken mess.

>RO2 Beta
OH GOD WHAT A BUGGY PIECE OF SHIT PREORDER CANCELLED FUCKING TRIPWIRE WORST DEVELOPERS EVAR

>BF3 Beta
IT'S JUST A BETA GUYS THEY WILL FIX IT BEFORE RELEASE AND IF IT ISN'T THEY WILL PATCH IT REALLY GUYS IT'S GOING TO BE FINE WILLIKERS

>>112033783
This. Absolutely this.

>>112035190
Not sure what sites you've been visiting but EVERYWHERE I've been(gamestop, battlefield's home site, ign, etc) has been a mirror of this thread. A few deluded fanboys(such as yourself) defend while everyone else screams "Wow this is shit!"

If BF3 is this unpolished at launch, then I'll give a shit.

Until then, sexy UMP fun times.
