Forums - Gaming - Battlefield 3 beta bugs don't exist in retail

isn't that the point of a beta? beta's used to be about finding bugs back in the days, not DEMOS , Demo is what people should download.

They better not be... the game is less than a month away from launch and this beta demo is way buggier than the Halo Reach or Gears 3 demos were, which both were open to the public several months before their respective title's ship dates.

And I wish they would have included at least one other map or game mode in the beta to try out... Rush mode gets really old really fast, and couple that with the buggy gameplay, and it can be an exercise in frustration at times.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Yup, but this is more of a demo since they have hardly any dev time left, 2 weeks at most. 
Gears of war 3 or uncharted 3 had "real" betas, they came out several months before the release date so the devs would have a lot of time to fix bugs and tweak gameplay. If the BF3 beta was the latest code and DICE only had 2 weeks to fix it, I'd be very worried, but since it's old code and DICE have had months to work on it I'm pretty confident it'll mostly be fixed by release. :)



im still disappointed with the console graphics so i canceled my pre order. not that i just care about graphics but DICE and EA over hyped this game and i am switching my pre order to MW3

Yeah, but seeing as the beta is released with 1 week of dev time left, it's more of a multiplayer demo. Glad it's an old build! Without the bugs I could easily see this game doing plenty of perfect scores :D


Not with this map design.

Really? I thought the metro and the city were great, the park could use a little work. We've only played one map so it's a little hard to judge anyway. Most people that played caspian border said it's much better than operation metro so...

BF3 problem is it now has CoD damage but is trying to funnel 12 a side teams through bottlenecks in Rush mode.  It doesn't work.  I've stopped playing the beta already and will not play it again, I'm a masive BF fan. 

 

As crap a map Nuketown is it doesn't have the gameplay problems BF3 has.

Yup, its worse.

Maybe we're just having very different experiences, I think the chokepoints down in the metro work really well, whereas the park is just open to any strategy you want. I'm having a blast with the beta.
