Battlefield 3 Beta - Impressions

[Netyaroze]

Tried it but give it a proper try tomorrow.

I have to agree with some complaints. There is aliasing everywere its way worse then in Bad Company 2 but I hope it will be not that extreme in the final product. Same goes for the screen tearing.

The Map is is nothing like BC. No Destruction at all. Did they even turn it on ? It seems not at all. I seriously doubt this is recently coded. Its exactly like the alpha without destruction. No Vehicles its super bright and the light sources plus aliasing destracted me a lot tbh.

The Collision detection is screwed up etc. The Animations ARE WORSE then in BC 2. But its nothing that cant be fixed. The colors are like bleached outside and aside from some textures the game does look worse then BC 2 right now.

Its also very hard to see if glass is inside a window making me jump against windows thinking I was stuck somewhere.

Its harder to distinguish friend from foe then in BC 2 normal mode. One other thing is that its often the case I shoot a guy see him fall to the ground thinking he is dead and get shot from him because he just lied on the floor so now I have to waste ammo to shoot at corpses.

But enough from the bad things. It also has a great lighting the fact that you can decide if you want to be revived is great too. I like that they show KD in the ranking and some of the new stats are nice too.

Aside from the glitches and graphics which seriously can be all fixed in 1 month. The main problem is the Map there is NOTHING to show whats good about BF. It plays like a different game. Honestly a map like this shouldnt even exist in BF3. I have no clue what Dice was thinking creating such a map. I hope this was the only one like this. Maybe they werent able to make innercity maps in the Bad Company style. It plays nothing like Bad Company 2.

Were are the vehicles ? There is not one. If this is an attempt to be like Cod It teached me that I dont like Cod.


To all that think this represents in any point the gameplay that it should have it does not.I hope they patch it up before beta ends and open caspian border for everyone.

I think that so many are disappointed are not the glitches or graphic but that they managed to create a map that lacks everything what sets BF apart from all the other console fps.

I am baffled by this I cant understand why Dice thought this was a good idea.
