    There is a reason why they call it beta Beatn unfortunately most of America doesn't understand the concept of beta.

    I think he prescribed to the rational that it was a beta so close to retail that it would be really close to the same, i kinda felt that way myself, though I didnt have a problem with the bullet damage as much as I did basically encouraging people to camp, not to mention it was a "rush" mode game type "yuck".

    The beta did tamper some of my excitement but I have been a loyal battlefield player for some time now so I expect shit that from them, they release stuff and fix it later...oh wait that sounds like something else EA does on another one of their products.

    But the purpose of a beta is to take what you have, then take the feedback on it to set it up for retail. MP stuff is tuned server side, so what you see in the beta is not going to be a representation of retail hardly ever.

    No, beta is to test. When they've solved the problems beforehand and release a beta anyway, especially as shitty as the one EA decided to release, they're borderline retarded. It was a marketing ploy and they're just lucky it didn't end up biting them in the ass. 99% of the time, betas are going to be REALLY close to the final game, which apparently isn't the case here.

    They've stated numerous times that all the issues in the beta had already been fixed, so why even release a beta if they know everything is working the way it should? I don't really care. As long as they raised the health(which they did) and I don't have to play that shit of a game mode, Rush, I'll get my enjoyment out of it.

    I think debating the concept of term in the case is irrelevant they released it too close to retail and like most of us who are on the internet too damn much we know that "hey the game comes out in 3 weeks" call it what but we can't really expect too many big changes. They also didn't state any of the "changes" until the beta was out already, they actually didn't even list the higher health in their "fixes" that just happened to be mentioned by game sites.

    I don't think betas are necessarily close to the final game, I have been in some that were so far away from retail that they had time to implement big changes.

    They knew. I posted on their forums during the early access beta(before most people even had it) about the extremely low health when running, the inability to sometimes run, the inability to sometimes aim down sights, the ability to get under the map, and about the hit detection when aiming around the head.

    I got a reply not even an hour later that said something along the lines of "most of these issues have already been fixed." They knew. They chose to release an old(and incredibly buggy build) to draw some more attention in hopes of getting more sales. As I said, I don't really care, but it does baffle me a bit.

    According to CAG, BF3 is getting a $20 credit on Amazon at some point today. Whether that's true or not, I guess we'll see.
