    I'm counting on this to weedout all the little add generation kids. Besides, you can always choose not to play the vehicle-centric maps.

    Hope so...I'll be able to give a more thorough opinion on what I think later after I get home from work and can really sink my teeth into it. I have it on both PS3 and Xbox. The gameplay is really what I'm most curious about anyways to be perfectly honest with you. I'm looking for something balanced between the rush of being able to run and gun on COD and the realism of the previous Battlefield installments that left me impressed on many levels albiet starving for just a little more consistent action.

    The map in the beta is terrible.

    Two games into the beta I experienced a very annoying glitch.. at the beginning of the 1st game i unlocked m16a3, and used it in 2nd game. By the time the 3rd game came, it was gone? :confused::confused: Also, some weird scope has been put on my sniper rifle, almost like an acog scope, and the original is gone.

    You can't use american made rifle m16a over to the russian side anymore. You have to play their version as well as their perks I believe. Now we know why its going to take a yr to lvl up to the max.

    played it on the ps3 and I must say the gameplay is 2/3 bf2 and the rest a little cod and bfbc. Something to get use to. The graphics is worst than bfbc2 but I know its just a beta where they dumb it down so no biggy.

    I'm glad you don't have to waste half a clip to kill someone like bfbc2 because I have a bad habit of reloading only to find myself kill. Feels more bf2ish right there.

    Does anyone know if we can turn on and off the flash and laser lights?

    All and all I love it. Wish I can experience it on the pc level. Time for a next gen console.

    Damn. Fun game.

    I'm level 18 now.


    Caspian Border is amazing. You better where a condom when you play that map.

    The whole time I was :eek::grin::eek:.

    Game gets way addictive the more you unlock stuff. I also think they may have used this smaller infantry oriented map to show off how much they have improved the infantry battle. That was a sore spot in BF2.

    Really hope they open up Caspian Border to everyone soon in the beta, so you don't have to use the password to join the full servers.

    Badass game, but the lag was ridiculous.

    Yes. On PC it's T.

    On consoles I think it's the ^ on the D pad, as in the up arrow.

    I must have missed something I thought beta meant "not the finished product". Not sure you can compare bf3 and mw3 at this point.

    This game is fun. Everything that was wrong with Bad Company 2 was fixed in this game. It no longer feels barren and desolate, its pretty crowded. In a sense, the debris fills in all the empty space around you.

    The only negative would be the ease of camping in this game.

    What's everybody kits and customize perks?

    I'm still using the aks74u and m4 with no scope when defending along with sprint and the glock pistol. Don't want to give my position away with scope glaring in the sunlight. I'll attach it when i'm attacking though.

    Where are all the support players?

    Depends on your preference. My friends who are COD kids, or generation ADD like someone said, absolutely love the map. No running around to get to the action, always someone to shoot. The older generation BFers call it a "meat grinder". Personally I'm ok with either play style depending on my mood. Caspian Border seems to have appeased most vets, in the end the game will cater to all styles and preferences.

    Brief video I took of the bugs on the 360 version. This was after playing for maybe 5 minutes, and attempting to play for another 10-15. It's pretty bad..

    That's what Beta testing is for.
