hmm, that might be the reason why when i tried to dl it on xbox live i waited like 5 min and it never got too 1%. Or it could be that my internet blows.

They were having trouble with the beta on the 360 yesterday. I think it's fine now. What I played was very fun.

Been playing the shit out of it on PC. It's great. I got to play a few rounds of Caspian Border yesterday. That map is amazing. It's what Battlefield is supposed to be. Jets and choppers flying around, tanks and jeeps on the ground. Amazing.

Surprisingly enough people tend to do that in combat.

Yea MW3 looks pretty amazing. From the people ive actually talked 2 they said the BF3 beta is awesome, but from what ive read people have a ton of complaints(but thats pretty much expected from all big games)

First time I played any Battlefield game, thought it was pretty good; reminded me a lot of MAG.

MW3 will be more of the same. The beta is full of holes but the potential for battlefield is awesome. It's the war game everyone dreams of. First person with vehicles and air combat simultaneously

Lol.

BF will be for the people who like go go against the popular option(COD) just because its the more popular of the two. Theyll claim they dont like campers, or something in MW3, and go play a game with likely the exact same issues and type of players as COD.

Yeah, people will find shit to bitch about no matter how great the game is. It will never satisfy anyone, especially that large group of gamers who dont look to have fun....instead look to find any little issue and bitch about it to no end

Or they like games that have a better feel of being in a battle. Call me when COD has vehicles or air combat or destruction that ads to the game play.

Lol, and with those amazing servers that EA has (Ncaa, Madden both fucking up, and the BETA servers fucked up already) Im sure with all those vehicles and players this game will be quite fun to play and realllllly smooth

Battlefield has traditionally been great as far as the servers go. And it's a god damned Beta give it a break. I'll be the first one motherfucking EA if the retail copy has problems in that regard.

I dont play video games to lay in a bush prone and shoot someone in the foot. The game is great. The speed of play is 100x better then Battlefield 2. They have also said their going to add a delay in the time it takes people to pull up their guns when their in prone b/c people are just camping in prone positions as well as drop shotting already. Battlefield hass always had awesome servers and make updates quick to fix problems unlike COD. I will buy both games and look forward to them both. If anyone wants to play some Domination on xbox hit up xSallman11x.

They're probably going to add some maps throughout the beta to test different modes and such.
