From watching all the videos from the alpha the 2 things that strike me the most is the movement/prone and the area sound effects. DICE is top notch when it comes to sound. I think i'm going to pre-order the game as soon as I get the extra money.

He's right. I mean its just the Alpha... there are a lot of bugs and it doesnt feel very bf3ish since its 32 man rush with only 1 vehicle.

For BC2 the beta was just an extended demo and debugging session.

They're hardly going to change the core gameplay design decisions they've already made

ig'sright

(I'm not defending BF3 per se...I don't have alpha access, and I haven't pre-ordered it either...)

I thought BC2's beta felt a lot different from the final game in terms of player movement, etc...it was a lot easier to scale hills, and felt a lot better IMO. And when the the final game came out it felt clunky and slow by comparison. Hitreg issues and rubberbanding seemed more prevalent in the beta, but were improved by release. The point being that a lot can change in a few weeks, let alone months, and this alpha is very stripped down judging by all accounts.

You're right that the decisions regarding core mechanics are essentially done at this point. But how that stuff gets implemented into the game may very well change. If you have major problems with their announced feature lists, then you may very well dislike BF3. But if the issue is simply with how that stuff is currently handled in the alpha, or that it may be absent at the moment, then patience is warranted.

I can understand the skepticism about how the game will turn out, but I think it's too early to pass judgement.

It's Alpha. They are probably testing lag or some such, because every game I played last night was smooth as silk and bullets were true.

Big differencce between BF3 and BF2 is really the movement. Siginificantly better than BC2, but not the precise arcade responsiveness that was BF2. Prone and smooth movement over rocks are a great improvement over BC2 hopping.

Being smooth for me as well. One bug they really need to fix though is the invisible walls that keep sprouting up.

Also lold during one round when anything destroyed or killed would go into anti-gravity mode.
