For me, here it is so far: Cons: the beta is a PITA. I've actually only been able to complete maybe four rounds (not even a whole game). Every other game I've joined I get a "server timed out" error before the game finishes. From the forums it seems this is a general problem. some of the settings controls are weird. for instance, the default is that ADS is your RMB, but you have to click and hold to keep aiming. the setting for making ADS one click is in a separate menu from the other combat controls. I can not find a way to get my clan tags to display...I can get them on my dogtags, but not showing in-game. The nice little clan tag feature of BFBC2 is gone. It might be me though, or it might just be the beta. Pros: The shitty hit registration from BFBC2 is no more. Rounds hit where you aim them. That was a big sore point for me from BFBC2. Sometimes I felt helpless in the game. I was just meat for other players. Not now. Even though the beta is softcore, one burst and an enemy goes down. Weapons feel and sound great. Weapons feel solid to me and the weapon recoil feels right too. Movement is better than BFBC2. It's still a "realistic" movement, but it doesn't feel as clunky as the earlier game. Feels smoother. When you jump over objects, you see your legs stick out in front of you as you clear the obstacle. Graphics are outstanding. Best I've ever seen in a game. Sound is good. Regular sound levels feel almost like the "war tapes" setting in BFBC2. The classes have been altered. Assault gives you a medic bag and Support (LMG) gives you ammo. Those are the two I've played so far, and the changes seem to make sense to me. Prone adds something different to the game. You are really going to have to employ some teamwork to get a guy who's dug himself into a corner and gone prone. The...anti-camping? system works for me. If you stay in a position too long a light appears over you...like you're looking at a flashlight being shined at you. It marks the person, but it isn't so obvious that it makes the person an easy target. In fact, it's easy to miss it if you're not paying attention. Verdict: for me... I'm all kinds of happy about this game so far. I was worried after BFBC2. I was so frustrated with that game that I stopped playing it. I am really looking forward to playing BF3. I can't wait till vehicles are added into the mix. IMO, this was a great investment. I'm stoked to get the XI server up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple instances where people shot me though objects, or I fell under the map. I'm not sure how many of these glitches is because it's a beta. I was able to into options > controls and change some of my settings, for instance switching toggle crouch to "c".I have heard people say that they weren't able to adjust their key binds though. Yes, it's a demanding game graphics-wise. No doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the BETA installed and managed to play a little: This is my early take on it! Pros: -hit registration is good, enemies are dropping fast! -good graphics -BF3 supports punkbuster (PBBANS will work)! Cons: -Its a BETA, so there is glitches (yup, I'm playing Captain Obvious lolz) -Don't like the web-based game browser (that makes IE 9 pop up) POOP -it seems a PITA to setup your keys in the first place... -Some of my mouse buttons weren't recognized (thumb buttons)...will look into it! I'll play some more and report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

WEB-BASED = POOP (I mean WHY?) On a good note, my rig runs the game by default on high everything at 1680 X 1050 on my 22" LCD, and I'm getting from 110 to 150 FPS AVG....both cards running at 63 degrees celsius. Videoram usage is high...850 to 950 megs.... I got 1GB cards, so 1024 mo available...close call!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I'm lucky to be able to run at a mix of HIGH and ULTRA settings and get FPS of in between 80 and 125 depending if I'm outside or inside... I really like the hit registration accuracy. I can't wait to try the hardcore mode!!! It will be DEADLY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
