Not on the beta map, no. In the full game and maps, pretty much everything is destructable.

Destruction is on the beta, took out most of a building earlier with the rpg

Finally downloaded!

Loading now

Aye, it doesnt always work though... glitchy as f**k as you'd expect from a beta.

Cant wait to play HC though, Core sucks.

Good stuff.

 

[Clart]

Mmm not convinced doesn't seem to flow like cod, and I'm not really sure what's going on yet. Graphically it's a step back too, but I can see the potential when u add vehicles into the mix.

 

[Ray Gin]

Awesome game.

Will take ages getting used to though.

 

[terryc101]

A step back in graphics from cod? Surely not.

 

[Clart]

I would say so. No hit markers either?

 

[Ray Gin]

There is hit markers?

 

[Spiezels]

Yes there are?

 

[Clart]

I didn't notice tbh, couldn't really tell if I'd hit someone.

 

[Spiezels]

It comes up as 4 little lines around your reticule.

Hate having tag markers, maps and stuff though

 

[Sym0n]

I would say so.

I'd agree, looks like a f**king cartoon. Really not impressed, but this could be due to me waiting for this game for god only knows how many years and wanting it to be everything BF2 was and nothing BF:BC 1/2 was. Sadly it's totally the opposite.

 

[James28]

Beta is a million times better on PC.
But I agree with Sym0n. I was hoping it to be like BF2, probs my favourite game ever. but it does feel much like BF:BC.

 

[Christopher]

Loving it!

Call of Duty 73 or whatever it's called... you suck.

 

[AK]

It's amazing.

 

[Christopher]

I'm Lv10 after playing it all afternoon

It's going to be incredible with jets, tanks and other huge destructible maps!

Epic.

 

[Ray Gin]

I take it the stats get reset when they full game comes out yeah?

Been beasting with the 870 (iirc?) shotgun. Although I can't work out how to spawn on someone yet so it's a tad annoying having to run for a couple of minutes to get back in the game! Lol

Cannot be serious about the graphics?
If you are a COD fanboy like me it will definitely take some getting used to, I think if you stick with it you will enjoy it more. With COD I just run around like a complete looney spraying bullets, with BF I try and act as if I was really in the battle.

 

[Ray Gin]

I think the graphics are brilliant, same with the detail.

Can't see how people can say they're s**t?

Frosted glasses?

When you die a list of the squad shows up on the screen and you can view where they are on the map, just select where you want to be dropped and enter the battle.

 

[Sym0n]

Cancelled, because it's w**k.

 

[172boost]

Cancelled, because it's w**k.

Are you really cancelling after 24 hours of beta testing? It's not that bad! lol

 

[AK]

I take it up the dirty love canal

Poor show.

 

[Clart]

be good if i could actually get into a game fcuking ea servers

 

[Sym0n]

Already have. It's nothing to do with it being Beta, it's the gameplay itself. It may as well be called Battlefield: Bad Company 3 but without the s**t singleplayer and bad voice acting (it's a long title).

I haven't enjoyed any of the games I've played since getting the beta and that's because it plays NOTHING like Battlefield 2 and totally like the w**k Bad Company series. That's enough for me to keep my cash in my pocket.

 

[Clart]

next week, lets release a beta that no one can actually play....

 

[Spiezels]

LOL at BC:2 being s**t!

 

[z8jay]

fuckin virginmedia throttling

going at a ridiculously slow 400kb/s because I downloaded over 1.5gb in "peak time". only an hour to go, woulda been done by now if they'd kept me at the proper speed

 

[K1NGY]

This is going to be the one!

Cant fapping wait for this!

 

[sbridgey]

[Gavin.]

1173mb on Ps3

 

[sbridgey]

f**k im downloading it quickly

 

[J0sh]

"The connection with EA online was lost"

I f**king hate this s**t.

 

[Ronin]

After 3 hours of downloading on the xbox (wtf?!?) I finally got to play. Managed 2 and a half games before the servers went tits up, and now cant get a connection.

Apart from that it's great, loving it! Bring on the 28th for the full game! :clap:

 

[Gavin.]

yup, 360 servers are down they made a post on facebook and all the PS3 fanboy are up in arms lol

 

[Ollieeee]

Ugh, i wanna play!

 

[Gavin.]

PS3 is down too, I just tried to get on and it won't let me

 

[imprezaworks]

After what feels like a week waiting for it to download, the servers are down lol. Xbox btw.

 

[Silent_Scone]
