So, there will be many bugs and it will not be polished (graphics are always subpar to the release version).

Beta testing is used as a tool for the developers to identify bugs and fix them.

IMO...
Even with all the bugs and only one map to play on, it's still better than the Treyarch developed Call of Duty (COD 3, COD:WaW, COD:BO) series.
At least the CoD programming has decent hit registering...

Although ALL of these FPS games suck *** on consoles...

how would you not know where they are? they give you damn killcams of your killer. hell even COD got campers. they just don't succeed that well cause of noob tubes.

and camping in rush as attacker or in conquest mode is a great way to take yourself out of the game and let the other team have a better chance of winning. yeah you may get some kills camping that same spot, but you alone will not win the game through kills. in rush, if you camp as attacker you are only taking yourself out since defenders have no respawn limit, and in conquest, kills mean diddly squat, when the whole point is to grab flag points to reduce the other team's ticket count.

Unless you know of a way on the PS3 console to get a view of where the killer is, there is no chance in hell you know where they are at. The game zooms in on their face and that's all you have.

In COD you know exactly where they are at, but this isnt a COD vs. BF3 argument.

I like the realism in BF3 a lot, but the game play is awful.

I'm glad they released the beta on Xbox live for free...It just reminds me to save my money for MW3.
There are alot of great things about this game so far but when it comes down to it the controls/response and multiplayer aren't as good as MW. Sorry

man some of the comments here are funny on how playing a BETA is equal to the final game.

i wish the beta was closed to the general public due to this stupid mindset.

Have you even played to older BF games? The final releases (and subsequent patches) still felt like beta... Such a great concept but too many annoying little bugs that never seem to get fixed throughout every "new" game. Yeah its a beta, its supposed to have bugs... but when those bugs are the same thing thats in your other games from years past it looks kind of bad.

There's probably a logical explanation for this, but why is the beta super buggy when we're less than 30 days from the game being released?

I don't see how that's remotely enough time to fix any bugs before the full release?

"The Battlefield 3 Open Beta is based on software that is more than one month old. We need to test the new back end dedicated server structure we’ve built. Not only have we built a new game engine, but an entirely new back end system so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of dedicated servers on all platforms.



Just like normal procedure when releasing a game, the Open Beta has had long lead times due to testing, certification, and setting up. This means that the code you are now playing is actually quite early and not representative of the final game.



We had to do this in order to have as many people testing as possible, in order to ensure a top quality experience when the game is released. However, we’re confident in the Battlefield formula and confident that our fans will support us in order to make Battlefield 3 better.



Dedicated servers require dedicated testing

The biggest reason for running the Open Beta is to stress test our servers and back end. Already, we are seeing 6 times the number of simultaneous players in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta compared to the Beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2! The fact that Battlefield 3 is clearly our biggest game launch ever by a magnitude of 6 makes it doubly important to test everything.



We are constantly updating the News section on Battlelog with information on what we are fixing from Open Beta to final. We appreciate your time and your feedback. The data and feedback from the Open Beta will not only directly affect the final game of Battlefield 3, but its future development and support.



We’re heading out on the road this week to let journalists experience all aspects of Battlefield 3. Stay tuned for their previews, and stay tuned for the final game on October 25th. The final game will look, play and sound better than the Open Beta. You have helped making sure of that.



Karl Magnus Troedsson

General Manager, DICE"

I was anticipating a positive the launch of this game, it has turned out to be one of the biggest let downs of all time.

I try to like it, but when I play, it's just the most awful experience in gaming in a long time. It's actually worse than Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

Even if it's the beta I actually like the game, A LOT. I just hate that map, it sucks. Can't wait for the full game though! What I kind of dont like is that it got a little higher paced which is why I don't play COD. But hopefully it turns out good!

Played on my GTX460 powered SSD machine and the PS3. PC FTW!

What bugs me about this game are the unlocks make no sense.

Heavy barrel increases accuracy but more muzzle rise? Foregrip only controls horizontal muzzle movement? WTH?

The UMP destroys everyone close or far. Its ridiculous haha. Reminds me of how powerful the Blackhawk Chopper door gunner was in BF2. Before they had the patch you can mow down 20-30 people easy if you had a good pilot circling a spawn point. Afterwards it would take 2-5 seconds on the minigun to kill someone.

Can't wait to get the last of my upgraded parts in to play it. IMO, people that are displeased with it probably aren't BF players to begin with. There are many other games that cater to that sort of FPS gamer, but it has been what seems to be ages a game that caters to BF fans.

Half the fun of saying the game sucks is seeing you get all twisted up.

I do hope they fix it up, I was looking forward to BF3 - it feels much more realistic than anything out there so far.

Yeah, I got ****ed up many times by the same guy with an UMP haha.

Not really a fan. The radar hacks are out already and confirmed on several sites, they are testing the back end but with out punkbuster. I mean there was/is cracked 128 man servers, that's right 128 man servers. This beta is one of the worst I've played, how can you put out a beta with software that's a month old? It's sloppy and last minute, lack of mouse button assigning anyone? Lack of squad management? These are BASIC coding for any fps game, even in beta. Really hope to see some major updates in the next few days and some feedback from the dev teams.

LOVE this game. I had some initial gripes about the glitches in maps, but it seems to have gotten a little better than at first. Sure, textures arent HD and detailed yet. Sure, it hasn't been optimized for best frame rates yet. Sure, some of the guns are a bit unfair. What do you expect? THEYRE FREAKING TESTING IT OUT!!! This isnt about you deciding whether you want to buy it or not....that's called a DEMO. This is about getting mass feedback from players that already know the final release is going to be amazing and getting feedback BEFORE it goes final so that it will be the best it possibly can be.

If you're looking for COD gameplay, which hasnt changed since MW, then dont get this game. It WILL feel different! It is based on a completely different engine, FAR more advanced than COD's 10 year old engine. This isn't necessarily the run and gun, small map, linear type of gameplay that COD fans are used to. Further, for those who are expecting gameplay like the PC, think again. The PC has far surpassed the capabilities of the consoles and will outshine them in every way. I say, FINALLY: A game that's designed for the PC and made the consoles a port of the PC and not the other way around! PC game ports from consoles suck because theyre built on the limited specs of the console. Not so this time.

Lastly, this game has intense requirements. You had better upgrade your PC, because if you have anything less than a decent Quad Core, 4 GB ram AND a new powerful DX11 $200+ graphics card, you're in for a bad experience. I just got a GTX 560 Ti graphics card for $200, downloaded nVidia's beta drivers specifically made for BF3 and it's playing extremely well on the highest settings. I expect it to play even smoother in the final release.

Overall, it is everything I expected in a beta and I couldnt be any more excited about the October 25th release. All the haterz out there: Man up to a real rig and go PC!

Definitely. All those who are bashing on the BETA are cod players who want it to play like cod. FYI, it's NOT cod! And Im so glad it isn't, cod doesn't even compare to this game. Cod is just an arcade game with guns, this is totally different. It takes a little time to adjust from cod to battlefield. I use to play cod, ALL the time and when I got battlefield I was disappointed because it didn't feel like cod. A week passed and I got used to it and havent played cod since. All I play is bad company 2 and I'm sure battlefield 3 will be amazing!

really? What format? New to the BF games?

I dont know why anyone even has an issue with camping, if they are camping you know where an easy kill is. lol

Just a report; my system sucks for this game

Fraps has me at an avg. of 27fps(high because I forgot to shut off benchmark for the loading screen) and 11fps min, yet I have a 1.367 K/D and its going up. lol
campers = high K/D ratios but they lose the map. I can deal with that.

A teams of snipers vs. snipers is no fun.
dont be a sniper....its no snipefest , its BF3.

This isnt about you deciding whether you want to buy it or not....that's called a DEMO. This is about getting mass feedback from players that already know the final release is going to be amazing and getting feedback BEFORE it goes final so that it will be the best it possibly can be.

If you're looking for COD gameplay, which hasnt changed since MW, then dont get this game. It WILL feel different! It is based on a completely different engine, FAR more advanced than COD's 10 year old engine. This isn't necessarily the run and gun, small map, linear type of gameplay that COD fans are used to. Further, for those who are expecting gameplay like the PC, think again. The PC has far surpassed the capabilities of the consoles and will outshine them in every way. I say, FINALLY: A game that's designed for the PC and made the consoles a port of the PC and not the other way around! PC game ports from consoles suck because theyre built on the limited specs of the console. Not so this time.

Lastly, this game has intense requirements. You had better upgrade your PC, because if you have anything less than a decent Quad Core, 4 GB ram AND a new powerful DX11 $200+ graphics card, you're in for a bad experience. I just got a GTX 560 Ti graphics card for $200, downloaded nVidia's beta drivers specifically made for BF3 and it's playing extremely well on the highest settings. I expect it to play even smoother in the final release.

Overall, it is everything I expected in a beta and I couldnt be any more excited about the October 25th release. All the haterz out there: Man up to a real rig and go PC!

well said. Looks like a normal beta to me, Wish I had the money to upgrade my PC but a lot more casual gamer now so PS3 is fine.

I've played BF2 on the PC and it blows this game away. They have a lot of work ahead of them if this beta is all they got on the PS3. No doubt the PC version is a hell of a lot better than this, I just don't want to spend 2k plus on a new computer.

Admit it, you just keep getting killed that's why you don't like it. **** even the beta with one Horrible map is better than any cod game lol.

The Beta map is pretty good. ACOG is so much better than the AK 4x scope. As it should be

RANT: Team members that do not know how to turn off their flashlights. Completely blinding me, and I can't kill them. Hit T dammit!



Will be buying a 2nd GTX 460 soon to run SLi. I get anywhere from 30-70 fps on high settings (1920x1200) and 50-80 on mediums settings. I want to get 70 on ULTRA settings

Does anyone know if 1 x GTX 460 requires a 450watt min PSU, will 2x GTX 460 require a 900 watt? My PSU is 850 watts.

If its a decent brand psu, it will be plenty.
I believe there are textures and other options that were turned off or down for the beta. Your fps might take a performance hit for the final release. Dice had stated that you will need 2 580's to run the game on Ultra settings. I was getting from 55-60fps on ultra with my 570 so either dice was exaggerating or the final release will be alot more taxing on your system than the beta is.

I have a Q6600 (SLACR) OC'd to 3.0 Ghz, 4GB RAM (4-4-4-12 2T) and a GTX 560 Ti running "High" settings at 1920x1080, with only a few slow-downs (40-50 fps) in foggy/smoky scenes. But I do know the texture quality has been toned down for the beta, so I am expecting to take a further hit when the real deal comes out. However, they should have their game optimizations down as well by that time, so it might not be as bad as we think. Only time will tell.


V8toytruck, your 850 is PLENTY of power for 2 460's. The 450 watt requirement is with everything else going on (CPU, RAM, mobo, fans, optical drives, hard drives, etc). Your 460 GTX power draw is likely only draws around 250 watts by itself.
