I'm hoping Amazon will have a pre-order bonus with this, but I'll get it either way.
Yeah other than release day shipping through Amazon the pre-order isn't much.
Yeah if Amazon adds a credit, I'll be all over it.
Someone on Twitter told me that PS+ members will be in the beta Thursday?
360 users will also, I just received my code this morning in my email. I'm pretty excited about this, I hope it isn't a let down.
Actually it looks like the beta opens up to everyone everywhere on Thursday.
Having played two hours so far, I feel very confident in saying the online is a complete and utter mess.
Yeah you are right JB, it is open for me today. Oops. LOL.
I haven't played a Battlefield yet where the online wasn't a mess before a couple of patches. lol
Damn IOU do you even have a job?![]()
The Beatn can be misleading in his name...haha j/k
Huh? I've had the beta since last night. I've only played 2 hours because I absolutely can't stand it.
There's two REALLY annoying animation glitches. If you're running and hit a rock or something, it wont let you run until you knife. This happens ALL the time. Another is similar and not as annoying because it doesn't happen as often, but even more annoying when it does. For some stupid reason, it sometimes wont allow you to aim down your sights. Once again, this is corrected by knifing. I really hope these two things get fixed.
Another really annoying thing is the audio drops. There were a few occasions where I would just fall over dead without hearing a single shot. I cranked my volume all the way up, and as I figured, there are some massive audio drops. Sometimes it will be fine, then other times so low you have to turn it up. After a few minutes, it'll kick back in and be so loud you can barely stand it. Very odd, but should be able to be fixed.
That's about all the glitches I've seen so far, as far as game play, well...I hated it at first but I am starting to enjoy it a bit more as I unlock some stuff and get the hang of things. I don't like how much they've raised the bullet damage, but whatever, I kind of figured they would. Snipers are still annoying as fuck, but whatever, didn't really expect that to change. You STILL can't communicate with anyone outside of your squad, which is really annoying, but again, oh well.
The hit detection is my big thing. It's still messed up and that is the one thing that really bugs me. It feels exactly like it did in Bad Company 2. Sometimes the bullets will register and sometimes they wont, it just seems too random.
IF they can eliminate these bugs, I'll enjoy the game. As it is now, there's so many bugs that constantly happen I don't even want to bother with it. I will say this, though, the graphics and the animations are absolutely top notch. It's a beautiful game and even more impressive when it's in motion. Their online stat tracking site is also very impressive.
Here's some clips from earlier. If you want to see how messed up the spawn system can be(spawning on squad member), check out 5:45 and beyond.
I haven't noticed that if I hit a rock I couldn't run, I did notice how at times I couldn't run for some reason maybe that is why, I really dunno, I fix mine my going prone then getting back up and it works. I have seen the audio drops as well as sometimes when I spawn the screen is still that blue color like I am dead.
I do think the hit detection is fine, I still am unsure about what you are looking for in that arena, I am sure you are about to say something about the bullet damage soon as well. I accredited most of it to it being a beta though, the can't run and the audio drops anyway. The game did get worlds better once I unlocked some sights, camping is going to be a major pain the ass though, like I have seen times where the rushing team is just laying around not even trying to arm the things and no one is moving (hence why I stopped playing rush in first place)
According to their blogs you were suppose to be able to communicate with everyone on your team now, how do you do that I honestly don't know, but it was mentioned I know.
Edit: I was also just joking about the job, I found it humorous you are always on basically every shooter that was all.
