Yeah, not having vehicles makes it feel like the game isn't even Battlefield.
I mean, I'm rather mediocre (at best) when running and gunning (though I love Suppressive Fire for the support class), but get me in any ground vehicle in BF games and I can hold my own rather well. I hope to learn to use helis though.
So is BF3 significantly improved on BF2? ie, is the beta worth pre-ordering the game for? I've had bad luck with the quality of games I pre-ordered.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
The last BF games I played were 1942:Secret Weapons on my old PC and 1943 on consoles, so from my perspective, yes.
Pros:
-The animation looks really good. Everything moves smooth, and vaulting over things or belly sliding to prone like in Brink works surprisingly smoothly, even from first person perspective.
- Suppressive Fire! (Vision gets blurry as a warning, and the effect means a direct impact to your opponent's in-game accuracy)
-There is a ton of customization with the weapons, though it is limited in the beta.
Neutral:
- Not a big fan of launching my game from a webpage (server list is on Battlelog site), but I haven't had any problem with it. Works pretty well.
- Also launches into windowed mode for some reason (still plays smooth), can't find video configuration yet. But this means no lethal accidental Windows key presses.
- I fell through the land twice, but I was actually able to "vault" myself out of it.
Cons:
- Grenades stick to bushes in the beta.
- I miss the impossible-to-mistake Axis vs. Allies uniforms. I've gotten confused once or twice so far, leading to me getting killed when I hesitated.
- The game is stating that I'm not using the latest drivers...when I am. I'm not going to use Nvidia beta drivers.
They added prone position?!? Sweet. Though it will most likely make killing snipers more trouble.

when a sniper is trying to snipe you and zooming in on youOriginally Posted by Animeniax
and you look in his direction
you'll see a reflection of light coming from his scope if I'm not mistaken
btw, the flashlight is as effective as a flashbang
you are totally blind, even during daytime
I hope they change that somewhat

be advised enemy...
be advised we lost....
be advised objective....
be advised over
oh and from what I've heard,weapon handling and movement changed
first of all, you are now able to look around while sprinting, so you dont have to stop running to look left and right etc.
and weapons hit where you are aiming at
but the recoil is alot stronger, so if you keep pressing the left mousebutton and do nothing, you'll end up looking into the sky *HOWEVER* the cone of fire is a lot smaller than it used to be in BFBC2 (even though you aim directly at the enemy bullets wouldn't hit if you kept shooting at him)

For BF3, is the beta only the one map? And do you have to pre-order to join the beta? On EA's website, it says it's open to everyone but it's only one map.
I just pre-ordered the limited edition from Newegg, they had a $12 off coupon. I should receive the game by the afternoon of the day I finish an exam, so perfect timing.

Nice! Been waiting for this game but couldn't find a credible release date so had no idea when to expect it. Thanks for the heads up, ordered the game right away.
Also recieved GoW Collection II for my B-day.

I just finished playing through Dragon Age 2I was expecting worse, given all the negative reviews, but I thought it was pretty good. The writing was pretty well done, and I ended up caring for the characters. I didn't really like how they recycled the same 5 dungeons, and like, same 5 areas, but I got used to it pretty fast. It was pretty fun to play, despite its flaws
Gonna play Deus Ex: Human Revolution next!
Ryll - does the BF3 feature tagging/spotting from Bad Company?
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
I'm expecting it to have it. They made a big deal about making snipers a great supporting class.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
As far as I can tell, yes. I'm not sure it is whole team or just your squad. Enemies appear on your minimap when you're close enough to a Recon player (or are one).
The documentation of the finer details are a bit lacking (I can't get the manual to load from Origin...if the beta comes with one). I have absolutely no idea what the radio that Recon class has actually does.
Hey Ryll
Is the game suggesting that you use beta drivers? Have you noticed any significant problems other than falling through the earth?
It complains I'm not using the latest drivers every time. It works just fine without them, every time.
I only fell through twice (and only in the one match, in the first area of the Metro map), but like I said to Ani, I just "vaulted out of" the discrepancy and it wasn't an issue. Zero graphical issues otherwise.
Runs smooth on my GTX 470 with the latest officially available drivers.
At what resolution/setting?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Thanks, that's good to know.
I have a GTX 560 and for some stupid reason it won't recognize my monitor and it took me forever to find a driver that would work correctly. I was afraid that i would have to update for BF3 and deal with the problem all over again.
So no bullet drop? Sniping will be a breeze.
So weapons are more accurate, but the recoil will kick in much harder if you just lay it down. Correct? I went into a vid came store today with my brother because he was picking up the new Bleach game on PS3, but I couldn't see a release date for BF3 on the posters.
Last time I heard it was Oct 26th.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Finished LA Noire yesterday. I just need 2 more trophies for Platinum.
I'll continue with either Yakuza 4 or Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 2 next. Just bought Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Disgaea 4 and White Knight Chronicles 2 recently.
Started Persona 2 as well.
Did you catch what I was talking about earlier about Phelps?
And I finished the first playthrough with Momohime in Muramasa on Wednesday and I burned through the first playthrough with Kisuke yesterday. It's a very addicting game.
EDIT: Muramasa is done. I got all 3 endings for both characters on Muso mode. I would highly recommend this game.

I did. I don't understand why they did that. I'm not bothered by the ending per se, but by what happened on the last few chapters. Kelso is cool though.
