lol I always used to play that game. It was one of those cheap games my dad got for me when I was younger because it wasn't expensive.

i think we're all old enough to understand what cheap means.

Cheap as in a low quality game + it was inexpensive.

inexpensive kinda like this game, except Mech Warrior 4 wasn't a bad game.

Am I the only one who's annoyed by the fact that you can't see 80% of the people who kill you?

Running towards objective, and in two hits I'm dead from some guy hiding in some bush somewhere. Repeat. Gee, that's fun.

It's cause everything has that blue tinge. Also the outfits all looks similar. Kinda odd that they decided to invent new outfits, rather than go by what's actually used in combat.

You can see the guy that shot you last on the killcam. Which forces you to do nothing while watching them hide behind a random rock. But I know what you mean, I seem to die alot faster in this game. I'm an over 2 K/D infantry player in BF2 yet for some reason in BC2 and BF3 I get raped and can usually manage a little over 1 K/D playing infantry. I also hate that when you get revived you still have a death counted against you like in Bad Company 2.

I'm making a point that the infantry gameplay in Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 is much slower and difficult to play compared to Battlefield 3. I'll still rape in vehicle maps though, I know that much.

The killcam is worthless though. It's so up in their face that I have no idea where they are most of the time.

I feel like I'm playing a CoD game with recoil.

Guess I'll be sticking to vehicle maps as well...though I dusted off my joystick only to find out the Caspian Border map isn't in the beta yet.

Well this is a pretty shitty beta.

I like how the game is a lot "smarter", like being able to deploy the bipod(finally) not only on the floor but also objects that you may be be crouching or standing in front of. It also just generally does it in a much more intuitive way than CoD: WaW did, that's the only other game I've played that has any kind of actual bipod-on-object mounting.

I like the animation of actually vaulting over things as well. Seems like it was borrowed right out of Mirror's Edge, which actually makes it feel even better for me.

But on the downside, as everyone else said, the squad system sucks, but while I was looking at the squad area in the Escape menu, I noticed under the squad you're in, there is a small gray box next to the word "Private" that doesn't do anything, but I could definitely see that being the way to make your own squad when the full version comes out. imo, it would be unacceptable not to make it more like the way it was in BF2. This is BF3 after all, not BF: BC3. Or at least that's what it's supposed to be.

I don't get why they do everything through EA's shitty fucking servers. If the actual game is as shitty as this (as in you can't even connect to multiplayer) I'm not buying it. Fuck off DICE, I hate you.

you're playing all the wrong games, DoD:S had bipod-on anything mounting 3 years before CoD:W@W did, RO had it 2 years before CoD:W@W

Played some rounds with menzo.
I will admit, i was really pissed at EA because it wasn't working properly. But they were just Beta flaws (i fucking hope so) and i got them sorted out.
Now metro isn't the best map to showcase this game, but i was one of those people that like BC2 and this came (to my regret, i might like BC2, but this should still be a BF2 sequel) pretty close to it.
Now, ignoring the browser and menu clusterfuck, and just looking at gameplay (infantry i'm afraid) it was pretty solid. Action was very intense and the sounds are of excellent quality and really make it an immersing experience.

But of course theres more then just shooting. The menu clusterfuck shouldn't be ignored and isn't bad, but couldve done a lot (A LOT) better and the squad system is just non-existent as far as im concerned, thats how shit it is.

6/10 for the beta. But people that played Caspian said it was a completely different game, so we'll see how it is once its actually released.

Sat on the Caspian server list and finally got in after about 10 minutes.

I'd suggest playing this map before you come to any remarkable conclusions.
Feels much more like battlefield.
That's not to say the infantry feels slow, but once you add in huge maps and vehicles, it's harder to notice.

I said Good

The launching from a web browser is stupid and inefficient. I'm expecting the full game to have Battlelog functionality built into the game.

PC: Much easier to kill and looks absolutely great even on High with few medium graphic settings, metro is tolerable, controls are well suited.
360: Harder to stay alive and keep a positive k/d, graphics look like medium with low mixed, map is terrible, controls are subpar.
