Battlefield 3 beta

  • TedSheckler
    I doubt it. They had Caspian Border open on PC, with it password protected. I played it for a good hour and a half. It's an amazing map. It's huge, just like the BF2 glory days. I can't see them adding new maps since the beta ends on October 10th.

    Yeah, the game releases in a few weeks.

    Yeah they only had 1 map and mode for bfbc2

    This game is pretty badass. Really like it. Except for when I get stuck below the map...

    When you go prone in certain spots?

    It's like they hid quicksand all over.

    No like sometimes on the outside I'll jump over a fence and then all the sudden I'm stuck halfway under the map.

    I read where this BETA is a much earlier build of the game.

    No shit. Obviously I meant a MUCH earlier build of the game. As in multiple newer builds have been put together since and a lot of the bugs have already been fixed.

    They weren't able to release one of the newer builds because of some BS stipulation or something. I'll have to find the article again, but then again, I don't really give a shit.

    That's usually how these types of public betas work. It takes a while to get one set up and running and everything and while you're doing that the rest of the team is still working on the game. Wouldn't be surprised if the beta build is a few months old.
  • TedSheckler
    Yup. The beta is 3 month old software.

    And I loled at this.



    And here's a little Caspian for you that didn't get a chance to play it.
