After having played the beta.. After seeing and hearing all these things going on with EA and Origin..

I canceled my pre-order, but what I'm wondering is..

Are YOU getting BF3?

Yeah, I'm getting it.

I'm having a ton of fun with the Beta and I would certainly like to have more.

The various shenanigans with EA and Origin annoy me, but they don't have much immediate effect on me, so it won't prevent me from buying.

I was lukewarm about the beta, but that's probably because it was a beta and Operation Metro is a shit map imo. But the core aspects of the game are excellent so i'll probably pick it up

Possibly, I don't really care too much, especially since I have other games that I want much more. If I feel inspired to get back into multiplayer then I may.

After making me install Origins, install the beta, install some weird web-browser plug-in and update my graphics driver, it's now telling me that every game is full regardless of how many people are in it, or giving me a non-specific error.

Also, Origins causes my system to bluescreen if I have it open with Dead Island.

Too much hassle, not enough pay-off.

Both Origin and Battlelog are in beta. If you're the kind of person to be turned off by technical issues like that then I suggest you avoid playing any other betas in the future that aren't merely free demos.

Also I don't think the player count includes reserved slots, which are in place for those who are about to join and are loading or those who're playing in groups. I'd suggest trying the matchmaker (oh noes, it's consolitis!!!!). The matchmaker takes into account your filter settings so you'll wind up with a server you like.


Anyway no in game squad management is a huge turnoff for me but I'm retaining my pre-order. I want jets, teamplay with my friends and all round deshery.

I would like to see:
-Orgin get streamlined
-Server latency streamlined
-The damage bug fixed(moving hitboxes will sometimes take more damage than normal, wtf? I know, right?)
-Squad management
-Better spawn interface

This is a beta for a reason guys, some of you take it as a demo or preview when it's actually part of the process. They made it open for the massive data they will get, workload tests, and also to build hype, but it isn't finished yet. They are working hard on the finished version and will have the big problems ironed out by release but we will not see those changes in beta as it's not related to the finished product at all. I've even heard that it's running on Frostbite 1.5 for memory/size reasons. But don't take the beta as an indicator, all your doing when you cancel your pre-order is money not going to development.

It may be a beta, but it having all these bugs around 20 days from release is pretty bloody worrying to say the least. Not got my hopes up, probably will just go back to BF2

And you will have those bugs IN THE BETA, until the beta closes. The game isn't done yet and if launch day is THAT BAD, they will patch it asap. The unfinished product wont be unfinished for long. And guess what! You can play it either way.

I plan on getting Battlefield 3 when it is released. I am hoping the story will be good and that I can play multiplayer with bots instead of people.
