Battlefield 3

Op Metro simply isnt a good map. Too linear, too flat. I would honestly take any BC2 rush map over it, even shitty Nelson Bay. I played the BC2 demo forever because Port Valdez had it all - entire villages, tons of vehicles, at least a little bit of flanking. Op Metro got infantry only on a flat map leading in a straight line.

Yeah really weird choice this close to release. Let's hope that rumor materializes and a decent map unlocks.

Downloading now. Not a good sign tho. Sucks.

Finally got into a server with Cap and Tizni. Game and map is 100 million times better with friends. Spawn beacon FTW. Still would easily take BC2 over it in this state tho. Tizni got a random message from EA10105060 saying "Beta players, be on the lookout for a surprise tomorrow", whatever that means.

Not impressed. Excitement -50pts. Maybe it's just the level and beta?

The game has promise, but the beta (cough alpha) is a bit weak, I hate how EA feels like the game has to have a solid deadline. Destro was saying how they Beta is an old build which is hopefully true. The main issue I want fixed on launch is getting in a game with squads.

So Battlefield is basically defined by scale and freedom to complete the objectives in a number of ways. This map, THIS awful map almost always comes down to this one TINY bathroom in the center of the subway. With only 2 doors in, 80% of the defenders just sit in there aiming at the doors - 100% of the attackers somehow hope and pray their grenades flush them out. This is what Battlefield has become DICE?

From expansive battlefields, to fighting over a single tiny square room. Think about that huge change in design philosophy. Its baffling.

I would even be ok with it if this was one filler infantry map tossed on the disc - but its the feature public demo map! What the fuck were they thinking?

[dave is ok]

People figured out the passwords to the locked Caspian maps btw.

Truer words have not been spoke on this thread. I really have no desire to play this shitty map. Failure.

For the 360 BF3 Beta, the battlelog might make joining games easier.
Log into battlelog so you are registered.
You just use your EA account.

From the main menu in the xbox beta you just press over on the DPad to show battlelog and your friends from there.

Add me, Destro777 of course.
