The Battlefield 3 Beta Opened today for owners of Medal Of Honor, Limited Edition, and i was one of the happy owners.
The first thing i noticed when i started playing, was the sounds. Guns firing, Grenades exploding, footsteps running, and that's just the start of it. It all sounds so, fresh, crisp, and real. Although i haven't heard a grenade explode in real life, i imagine it sounds more like it does in BFBC3 than in previous games.
Map size was an issue for me in BF2, and so far, BF3 seems no different. What i mean is, you don't feel in the game while your playing. In MW2, for example, you always feel like your in the game, just a few seconds away from your next kill, death, kill streak, or capture. Battlefield just doesn't give me that same feeling.
It took me a good minute or two to actually find an enemy, where i then got snipped. By the end of a couple games i was starting to get to double digits in kills, but i still never got that feeling, that i could get into the zone.
The overall feel of the game didn't impress me too much. When i was running it felt choppy, and the gun animations didn't seem up to par with what i expect from a top tier FPS. You get virtually no warning that your getting shot at, until your dead, which was also a problem in Medal Of Honor. As for the glitches that are seen in the beta, including falling below the map ( as seen in the pic. ), the Dice Community manager had this to say : A lot of what you are seeing in the BETA doesn’t exist in the main game already. 1st Party submissions mean we couldn’t give a version of the latest code in the BETA but the retail game is well ahead of what you are seeing now with a lot more bug fixes already in place.This beta didn't impress me too much, but this isn't the full, polished game, so i won't read too much into it.
