The Battlefield 3 Beta is really fun , it's getting addictive for me , ranking up and unlocking some nice toys , and i have seem some footage of the Caspian border map and it looks even better , i think i'm preordering it , Rage will keep me busy until it comes out , and BF3 will keep me busy until Skyrim comes out !!!! WAHH
I downloaded the beta yesterday, saw that it (for some reason) had a web interface and made me install a browser plugin, and I already wanted to delete it as hard as I could. Once I got into a game, I had no idea what was going on. I kept getting shot by some guy who was
standing on a picnic table, firing what was presumably a .50 sniper rifle through bushes and crap. I got 7 deaths in a row from that one guy, no kills. Nobody ever killed him that round. I must have played for 45 minutes or so, died 22 times in total, only ever
saw three enemies, and I think 2 of my bullets ever hit anybody, and I got no kills.
To their credit (the only thing I give them credit for), the default settings (I don't know what they were, never looked) seemed to tax my laptop the perfect amount. Not looking like crap, but not melting my video card, either.
Overall, it was not an enjoyable experience and I will not be purchasing their product upon release, or ever, for that matter. No surprise, being a game published by EA.
I will continue playing New Vegas and Arma 2 (also, Minecraft) until Skyrim comes out.
