User blog:3RDRANGER/Feedback On Battlefield 3 Beta

Introduction
So most of you Battlefield Wikians (and me) have played the Battlefield 3 Beta, right!? So as you know, the point (or one of the points) of betas are to give feedback about the gameplay. So, this page is about my feedback about the beta and it will be updated regularly as I play the beta. Here it goes:

The Feedback (The Broad and General Part)
Well the beta is just fine, except there's ONLY ONE MAP AND MANY GLITCHES! Tom says there are rumours of Caspian Border coming soon to the beta, let's hope that's true. So what about the glitches, you ask?

Glitches
As you know, no beta is ever complete without....GLITCHES! So what about them!? The most obvious one you would see is how the screen sometimes flashes different colours as if it was a light show and that gets pretty annoying. Another obvious glitch is how third-person animations of enemies or teammates are sometimes......well........beneath the ground. One guy I played with had his legs going right through the ground, which was funny, although I saw this video on YouTube (PC Gameplay) which was hilarious because the guy was moving around and lying down on the ground at THE SAME TIME! LOL! Back to my feedback! Sometimes in the killcams, when your killer dies before he is even shown, they instead show a random thing in the sky for no reason, which is weird. Sometimes the controls glitch too! I was sprinting for a while, then I stopped, and then when I pressed the sprint button (L3, I play on PS3) and the character wasn't sprinting until the second time I pressed L3. Also, I tried to reload one time, but it didn't respond, so I had to waste 6 bullets just so the guy can reload for once! Now for servers!

Servers
I heard from many Wikians here that the Xbox 360 servers are "shit"! Thank god that didn't happen to PC and PS3. But, here's the catch! So I was minding my business, unlocking defibrilators and then I attempted my first revive, so I got my 100 points, then I get kicked out for no reason and I had to wait 5 minutes just looking at tips about weapons and vehicles, then I decide to quit the beta and go back! OH GOD! At short times, the match sometimes freezes for like 5 seconds because it's "saving" and then it goes back to normal. Now for some miscellaneous crap!

Miscellaneous
I like the controls because most of it is like BC2 controls, except DICE finally found a use the Up and Down D-Pad Buttons for infantry controls! But here's the disadvantage of being was too used to BC2 controls. Take the Medic/Assault Kit for example, in BC2, the Right Button brings out defibs and the Left brings out medkit. But in BF3, it's the opposite, I died many times trying to revive someone because I kept pressing the Right instead of Left buttons and then I notice my mistake and then I keep pressing Left until I die! And the map!?

Map
So the map is Op Metro, whichw as featured in the BF3 Alpha, which took place before we heard of Caspian Border! That map got us excited more and we were excited to see if we could fly jets in the beta. Guess what!? NOT! God knows when DICE will put it up and devil knows if they actually will! Is Op Metro bad or good!? There's a ton of choke points there and the LAV-25 is missing! Is it too OP for a tiny map like Op Metro? What about the cool and awesome footage we saw at E3 with the LAV-25 going through the tunnel like in some kind of movie!? So Op Metro gets 8/10! Now for some positive feedback instead of negative!

Positive
So what's positive of the beta? Well the weapon customization and how easy it is to rank up are good. The cinematic knife kills are great! I did that twice before a match ended on the douchebag recons camping in the building at the last base (the one to the left of the Defenders Deployment). It's somewhat easy to kill enemies, maybe too easy! This beta right now gets 8.7/10! Keep fixing and loving, DICE! Kudos! Peace!
