I want to know what you got up to on the beta? Flying loops in the jest? Going on 10 man kill streak?

I i know there are some complaints, but thats for a different post.

I want to keep it positive! :-)

The most fun I had was in the underground section of Metro, fighting to take B. I love that side of the map.

Also Caspian border, I focused on the hill top and the forest to start with but then started to include the checkpoint. Highlight.... a lot more wins than losses :-)

You?

Got to be the jokes in the jets! Metro subway was just great fun fighting for that middle corridor on the second set of MCOMS.

Really really looking forward to the full release!

B was always the most exciting part to capture in both underground sections. I had so much fun with the EOD bot down there, watching other people's reaction was priceless.

Best part of the beta was getting Caspian all weekend on PC only. I had so much fun on just that one map and game mode. Also scaring the crap out of guys with jets. Flying right over their head or making it crash in front of them while you parachute down and catch them off guard

I was only able to enter into one game. Every single other time I could never connect. I tried a bunch of things, but ultimately I think it was my university's internet. In Bad Company 2, I can't connect to any servers, so I think it has to do with EA.

Watching people trying to fly jets was hilarious, myself included. I had so much fun, it was also unreal to see people on level 30+ :o

I thought it was odd to see so many people above level 30 myself - I mean, do these people not have lives? I only reached level 6, and I only played the beta for a grand total of five hours (have been busy with tests and whatnot).

I honestly viewed a profile that had 31 hours of game play! That was before caspian border?! It was on one map and one game type?! Man how bored would you get?

That may be how it seems but I got to level 30 and I played the beta for maybe an hour a day sometimes more at weekends. But the levelling system is WAY too fast the way it is. Considering in BC2 on PS3 I got to maybe level 35 after LOTS of playing and im still pretty low on PC cos I don't have it as long

sadly i didn't fly any aircraft, but i loved the beta and both maps were good. I thought the middle corridor was also great on metro station. :D

I also liked sniping on caspian border.

Some guy tried to kill me by flying a jet straight at me, too bad for him it went straight through me and i still shoot him after he landed. Also lol at me trying to fly the jet I didn't realize you're supposed to use the arrow keys: I was like wtf how am i supposed to turn in this thing.

Train station section in Metro is amazing. Being the gunner in a helicopter and the pilot jumped out LOL. Shooting my friends who are on the opposite side and bragging to them at work the next day.

Oh and I also love the panic fire when you run around jump down or run around a corner, everyone is just so on edge. I loved the jets, trying to fly as low as possible without crashing. Quality

Cant wait for new maps.

Getting a building I was hiding on the Antenna flag on Caspian Border blown apart by a jet streaking down. Was aiming at a tank passing by and then boom! Shell shock, red screen, and 3/4 of the building gone. It was just so awesome. Defending flags in BF3 became exciting once again :P

I had issues with that as well......I just kept attempting to connect until I found one. Lag was such a problem for me. It was amazing that I was even able to play. I have a highspeed connection, and the pings show low in the horrendous battlelog.

Defending flags is beautiful and extremely intense. The ramp up of intensity from Battlefield 2 and BC2 is awesome. It feels vicious and overwhelming in the best ways

The sound effects are absolutely gorgeous.

though I mostly hated that open area in OM map.. the "hiding in the bush" game sometimes was alot of fun. crawling meters through a bush & shooting enemies who're crawling in the same bush.. good funny moments.

yeh i found it good for long distances when sniping them, but at close range it blinds you and you sometimes don't even realise it is a teammate because it makes the name tag a lot harder to see, which would be a problem if friendly fire was on.

The.....nah I got nothing, it was fun doing "fun" stuff just like in any other game that offers you these possibilities, I put C4 on jets and tanks, to make sure there's a big boom when either the players are dead or the vehicles are abandoned (fall from the sky) and enemies are nearby.

To be truthful, I didn't enjoy the beta all that much except for the subway fights. What I played of caspian border, it was too laggy to enjoy... and on operation metro, the bullet lag/hit detection issues got annoying pretty quick. Shooting someone and having them not lose health, dying after you go behind solid cover that couldn't've been shot through.

I can see where they're going with the game, though.. and I hope they get all the issues fixed up for release. I've had it preordered for ages. I'll spend my time with the retail game... I can never really get into games that have unlocks knowing that I'll just have to do it all over again :)

The game was very buggy and almost unplayable for me. It maybe because of my computer, yet I could play Bad Company 2 with much ease.

Anyway the most hilarious thing I saw while trying to play was sliding and shooting corpses. I mean some actually alive people seemed as corpses to me, sliding on the ground. The creepy thing was their foor animation was still intact yet horizonal to the ground, revealing some creepy but hilarious sights.

Probably when me and some other guy were on a rocky outcrop firing RPGs in tandem at a tank a good 200m away in the field. So satisfying to see it explode and get some kills - we were under machine gun fire. Another one was coming up the hill toward the Russian spawn, seeing the AA vehicle and disabling it. Guy gets out and takes down my teammate but I get him - then I wander back down and see three guys in prone facing the checkpoint, 3 stabs later. Oh and the time I took down a chopper with an RPG flying overhead.

NoodleFighter

:cry: same here.

A few key moments moments? -Knifing a guy from behind while 3-4 of my team mates were shooting at him, and watching me do so :twisted:

-Disabling a tank to watch every one hop out and try to either repair or run, gun them down and reign down on them with my new tank :D

-Being blinded by flashlights

-Knifing a guy that just spawned off his team mate, then his spawnee

-I love the detail in the ammo and health kits. Not sure if it was like this in previous BF games, but a lot more appealing than small boxes

For me it'd be pwning with the AA, only against vehicles and infantry. Oh and getting called for "camping" with AA when I was only shooting at jets/helis. I was outside of our base by the rocks trying to stay near cover. its freakin AA your suppose to be out of the fight "camping" if you want to call it that. Someone called me on it though so I ran around and went like 13-0 lol. Its a fun game but I hope they change some things. Along with jets being too weak they can also be way to powerful. One map I hopped in AA and about as soon as I got in 2 jets took turns firing missiles at me, even though I had smoke it didn't seem to matter, they would attack, I repaired and no later than I had gotten back in I was hit again, that continued and i couldnt really get shots off to take them out. give credit to the pilots but with the way the ammo and damage system is I could find that getting frustrating sometimes.

I can't ever do it with an RPG but I love doing it with a tank. I did it in bf2, bf1943 against the jets and had an epic shot on bfbc on rush mode, i was in a tank by the crates and the blackhawk was flying clear over at our spawn, I tried to predict where he was gonna fly, took a lead on my shot and aimed up and fired, 2 seconds later BAM! knocked him out of the sky. Already have a couple chopper kills on bf3 with the tank :)

Man, one of the worst things that bugged me most about the beta but I know will never get fixed is the player's death animation. It's absolutely the worst I've experienced in a FPS. *get shot* *screen rotates 90 degrees* *reach out with hand* *spawn* *get shot* *repeat* They sure got a bunch of Einsteins working at DICE.
