I hear that its going to be end of 2011 possible xmas time. BF3 just needs to be BF2 with updated graphics, im not that bothered about the destruction but some would be nice. Imagine Karklands main street just seeing the massive buildings collapsing wouldn't feel right tbh. Oh and one thing is key 64+ multiplayer!
Gotta say that I love the Beta. I ended up as an IO player in BF2 due to the fact that the vehicles owned.
Whilst this version has vehicles and they can do serious damage they don't spoil the game for the foot soldiers. The tracer pistol has changed that for me. I get a great feeling when I get one planted on an enemy vehicle and the next thing you see is a few RPG's heading towards the tagged vehicle to take it out.
I'm also glad that they sorted out the engineer repairs. Thankfully it no longer takes 35 minutes to repair something to earn 2 points.
As for not being able to go prone; at first I was disappointed to see it missing. Now that I've played the Beta for a couple of weeks I am actually glad it's missing. It makes the game far faster and not to have people dolphin diving all over the place is a godsend.
As a PC version of a console game I am impressed. I feel too many people are complaining that it's a console port. It started out as a console game and I am delighted that they have ported this to PC. If they hadn't, I wouldn't be playing it.
The destuctability of the buildings and surroundings is brilliant. I love being able to get to players by throwing a nade at them, or noob tubing the area and watch their hiding place disappear. I still love it when running past a building, to hear a loud metallic creaking, look back and watch the building collapse into a pile of rubble.
If they can take BF2 and add all the fantastic developments from this, then BF3 is going to be one hell of a game.
That said, the game has it's faults. My ping can fluctuate massively whilst in game causing me to suffer from 'rubber banding'. The server browser needs a lot of work, the kits and guns need a bit of balancing and having to re-join the game to leave the game is damn annoying. Hopefully all of the niggles will get sorted out for release day. No game is perfect, the Beta is certainly not perfect, but all that aside it's still the most fun I have had in a FPS. I love BF2 and still play regularly, but I honestly think that this is more fun.
Please don't look at BC2 as BF3, it isn't and it doesn't claim to be; what it is, is a damn great, 100mph, action packed blast.
The beta has been great fun, 1 map on an unfinished game with 1 game mode and it has already taken up most of my gaming time for the last few weeks. I haven't even played any of the other BF franchise games before this, but this is best experienced with a few mates in TS in the same squad trying to work together. By far the best multiplayer experience in a long time.
One thing about the preview, you say you can still spawn on squad leaders but there are no squad leaders anymore. You can spawn on anyone in the squad now.
PC release date is March 2nd
March 3rd your gonna have to file a missing person report to find me. I got enough snacks and powerade to stay held up on my Pc for 3 weeks. Dam I can't wait for this game to come out.
Hurry UP!!
