    Default Battlefield 3 Beta:Your thoughts

    Well last night i got around to jamming the BF3 beta and heres my initial thoughts thus far

    Hitreg: Spot on, this is by far the best hitreg i have come across, i'll go so far as to say it goes "one up" on COD, its very well done, its now really obvious this game was dev'd for PC, Hitreg is sublime!

    Graphics: Big talk about this, mine was on auto and i was getting about 40 fps to about 55 fps, i noticed alot of things where set to high so i dropped everything to medium and got between 55fps to 75fps. Was interesting to note is the frame drop is very minimal and not "sudden" either. The detail, lighting and gun flash and what not is brilliant. If ever any1 had a doubt that this game was not the next gen game, come play it and see for yourself because in this case seeing is believing.

    Gameplay: First thing i noticed is this game stands apart from BC2, it holds no similarity at all beside one or two sounds like the MCOMS The character animation and MOVEMENT is tops, really is, i am so pleased with this, for a beta is very well done. I unlocked the flash light last night and man you can cause havok with that little light, blinding enemies and gunnign 3 okes donw ina room is priceless when all they see is a bright light, be careful thoug as it effects your teamies too, i ended up being tk'd because they couldn't see my tag, go figure

    Weapons: This is what im liking the most, recoil and accuracy is there, this is def not the run and gun type of game at all, it requires well placed shots and most off its a skill rewarding game, the WORD SKILL is very important to take note of

    Battlelog/Origin: I must say for a web based server browser its actually very well done, its a new concept and challenged the norm but its actually very well done for a web browser, you could be easily fooled to think it wasn't a web based browser, battelog is actually very well done. Now the game infact does start up VERY fast, i mean fast, join the server and you in 15 secs or so, much faster than BC2's ingame browser when returning results too, lets not forget the game was under huge pressure last night, i felt BF3 and battlelog held its own in this regard. Now origin, besides launching the actual game i see no point of it, your friends are NOT carried over to battlelog, its quite clear now, origin is an EA pushed agenda, ok whatever lets just roll with it.

    issues: Whilst many of my clan mates had issues with joining a server because they had an old key attached to their account, i didn't find many. One or two graphical errors here and there, sometimes you cant ads too, server crahed about 3 times yesterday int he space of 3.5 hours, not too bad for day one launch. Small issues that i beleived are already resolved in the final game build. Its def not a game "riddled" with bugs

    Final thoughts: This is just a beta but wow im blown away, from the start its made very clear that "my name is BF3 i am the next gen fps, play me and find out" those of you who can play it go for it! its def heading for GOTY and i am very impressed. Well done to DICE, not so much to EA as they have buggered up a few things here and there. All i can say is im going to enjoy the next two weeks

    PS: Perhaps and Xbox and PS3 owner can come forward and give their thoughts thus far, im keen to hear what you guys think
