Sadly, those dates all but leave me out. :-( I leave for an interview this Saturday and return on the 27th, but I will be in a pretty big hole at work that I will need to dig myself out of. I will probably download it just out of principle, but probably won't get to play it much.

At least the real game will be here soon ....

Yah, I was kinda hoping they'd include Caspian CQ to showcase the large scale side of BF3....

but w/e, full release is only 35 days from now anyways

I get Gear3 tomorrow from Gamefly (They mailed it out yesterday) so between horde2.0 with my bro, Hoarderlands, and the beta, I'll be good2go until release.

only 1 more week to beta Smile

There were some good Rush maps in BC2...wasn't generally my favourite, but I did have some awesome games on Port Valdez and Valpraiso.

Port Valdez...the amount of times I played that map in the BC2 beta...guess it will be the same with operation metro haha.

Got attacking and defending down to a science when I played with the usual crew of Zulu and a few others...we never lost....

But on the UK forums many have been complaining. Then Zh1nto laid into them a bit, and later deleted said thread. The UK forums currently contain some entertaining reading!

Reddit is blowing up as well

I don't get it at all, the sense of entitlement the overall BF3 community has is mind boggling. YOU GET TO PLAY SOME OF THE GAME EARLY, FOR FREE!!!

EA should just kept it at closed testing and launched the game normally...WTF people

This sense of entitlement is more of a generational thing then just a BF3 fan thing....

Alot of the complaining is coming from retards who are whining just because, but there are a quite a few legit issues with the beta.

I cba to summarize it all, but norm360 makes some great points in it.

Quote :

It's not that we are ungrateful, I appreciate the work DICE does highly,
but I generally get the impression the beta is used as an excercise in
marketing, rather than working towards making the game better.

Essentially EA gets:

1. Free bug testing.
2. They profited off MOH by promoting BF3 alongside it.
3. They profited by attaching a pre-order requirement for early access.
4. They generate free publicity for the game prior to release.

The Battlefield fan gets:

1. Obscure bits of info surrounding the beta for weeks on end.
2. Single Rush map (hardly relevant to a BF2 sequel).
3. A chance to play a map we've already seen (many want to try the jets/tanks to provide feedback on that).
4. Trailers of Caspian Border giving the impression it will be the beta map (and it's also being played at Expo).

Hence the mild frustration we are seeing. Beta Date Smile

But who knows, you might pull a proper demo out of the bag once the beta is over.

It's understandable.

They tell us, "Beta will be in September! And it might be a new map! Get excited!"

And then we find out it comes out on the penultimate day of September and it's the same infantry based, vehicle lacking map we saw in the Alpha.

It's not so much entitlement as it is disappointment. It's not like DICE is doing us a favor either with the beta, they're using it to test the game, gather data, and for publicity. So they win too.

Still looking forward to playing this, but I wouldve much rather preferred Caspian Border. I can imagine those who already played the shit out of the Alpha would be pissed at this.

EDIT: FUCK I got ninja'd by Erad.

If it's anything like BC2, the beta is gonna be the more fun then the actual game.

LOL thread was deleted, pretty sad, look at the BF3 forums lots of locked threads and bans over there, yet on the BC2 forums I can probably make a thread about cocks... almost like they think BC2 is dead Teeth

The PC-kiddies on the forums are incredible cry-babies. No wonder game developers have been ignoring that market.

All I've ever seen in a PC forum are the vocal people who jizz themselves over whoever has the higher CPU/graphics card/OS.

Other than that, the majority are pretty cool (Gnarly in this case cheers ), tell you what is what and why it doesn't work like that.
