it feels like mirrors edge + MOH together.

Strange summary Gzero so now I'm intrigued in what you mean regarding this game.......basically does it live up to your expectations or not.

Bizarrely, my x1950pro is not good enough for BF3, despite still being better than most console graphics.

Who gets it in two days time??
Does everyone??

First game in totally unbalanced (obvious players with big latency advantage).

Next few games have been good fun. As Gzero said, lots of people creeping through bushes. Fragging them is good fun. Like I say to the kids. You can hide behind the curtains, but we can all still see your feet!

The Metro map feels overly convoluted, but that might just be the COD player in me.

Observations:

Weapon sounds are awesome (RPG whizzing past your bonce is superb).

Crouching/jumping/crawling prone are all good (You can crawl fast in prone which is really useful for getting out of a firestorm).

No sign of a server browser yet (probably because there is only one map available on the Beta).

Graphics on the console (queue drum roll) utterly overhyped. MW3 will look better without a doubt. Don't think it will play any better though. This doesn't lag half as badly as MW2/BLOPS.

Overall great fun, but the visuals are a mile away from what's been touted (IMO at least). Visually I think you're going to need the PC to do it justice.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off fragging in the bushes.

Followed by a ridiculously laggy game and two freeze ups of the PS3.

Yeah it goes live to everyone on Thursday except for them poor misfortunate players like mrnelster who got duped into buying a copy of the awful MOH game

Only people with that game or private beta invites get it 2 days early........Whoopee do

And from what i have heard so far i don't think its a game that will hold my attention for more than 20 minutes.

Mind you i always new that in the back of my mind as you have the people that like Battlefield and the ones that prefer MW .

Some people are experiencing some really bad glitches like THIS

By the time the beta ends this game will be at the gone gold stage if it isn't already and i feel plenty of patches incoming and the same it will be for MW3 .

I just hope developers sort them out sooner and not later because Infinity Ward are not very good at looking after there games glitches,Hackers......You name it.

Yes mate, everyone. And if you are a BFBC fan you will love this.

I love the gameplay. The need to be accurate and the lack of auto aim etc is very realistic. I find the map so far a little too big really, but I guess it's something you get used too.

But the graphics are a bit disappointing on the PS3, probably made worse by the over hype it has received. But not bad enough to detract from the game as a whole. Some glitches are still there such as the screen bouncing/juddering when you get close to the scenery/bushes etc. This will hopefully get patched, but as time2die says it will probably go Gold soon meaning that the graphics aren't going to get any more polish.

It doesnt lag as bad as the latest COD games have for me, so if the server browser does arrive with games pickable on latency (which in my mind is the only definition of a server browser) then I may well stick with this game. And as I mentioned earlier, the sound is fantastic. Can't wait too get it through the surround set up.

The graphics as they are though mean I won't be giving up MW3 for it.

A bit duped with this too going by some of the graphical similarities of the two games.
.

I actually bought that MOH game and got rid of it the following day because i thought it was terrible and i seriously think only the single player portion of the game may look better than MW3.

I shall decide for myself on Thursday and if it does not really do it for me i may cancel my pre/order as there is little point having 2 shooters especially if one of them gets no play time.

Even if the Graphics did hit the dizzy heights set by all the previews we have seen you would still have sunk more time into MW3 than this game.

Once a MW player always a MW player,I'm not bashing this game because i have not played this Beta yet but have played previous Battlefield games and i know what i prefer in terms of fast action.

Been watching all the youtube vids of the beta with some loving it and some hating it which is to be expected with every big game title released.

Battlefield games to me have always required a more tactical approach and its not so run and gun style of gameplay that i enjoy so much,i love fast frantic gun play and its more than likely the reason why i think this Gears 3 Horde mode is a blast and another reason why i think my time is going to be spent with MW3 because as you and me know it has a certain mode called Survival which is there take on Horde mode with infinite waves of enemies

So just this mode alone is a reason for me to invest and thats not including the single player experience and all the other online multiplayer modes.
