BF3 first impressions

Submitted by Limpet on Wed, 28/09/2011 - 09:07

I like it.

couple of issues, but easy fixed if they wish to.
Here’s my random thoughts on it.
Op guns, every one falls down pretty dam quick. Save that shit for campmode.
Server browser seems to work pretty well just a real different way of doing it, taking a little to get used to maybe.
Can’t bind my mouse buttons at the moment.
Hit rego seems good. ( fuck yea ). But that might be because of the op guns.
Game feels smoother than bc2.
Movement feels good.
On medium graphics I’m getting 90 to 140 fps at 1680*1050.

Beta?

Submitted by Hashy on Wed, 28/09/2011 - 14:31.

y0u get in beta f0r pre 0rdering 0r s0mething? th0ught this wasn’t c0mming 0ut f0r an0ther m0nth.

have they kept the squads fr0m BC2 which were all s0 used t0 spawning fr0m n0w? I w0uld hate t0 g0 back t0 spawning 0nly fr0m spawn p0ints. I mean I hated the idea 0f squad spawning t0 begin with, and I guess I still d0, but I have bec0me accust0med t0 it in c0njuncti0n with Battlefield type game play.

d0es it feel like they’ve nerfed the game at all in fav0ur 0f the c0ns0les? d0es it retain the same am0unt 0f destructibility 0f the envir0nment as BC2 0r is it any better?

Thanks f0r the heads up inf0 Limpet =)

open beta

Submitted by Limpet on Thu, 29/09/2011 - 10:39.

starts 29th sept, runs only till the 10th oct. Pre-order only gives 48hrs head start.

Squad spawning is still there, you can’t jump form squad to squad in game though as far as I can tell.

Destruction is still there, not sure how much, I haven’t played enough.

Not sure about how much they nerfed for it to fit on a console, this beta map is one of the smaller maps from what I understand to, so will have to wait for the full game to judge that.

My biggest bug so far is Not been able to bind my mouse keys, but hopefully that’s just a beta bug.

GOD I HOPE THEY NERF THE GUNS. It does feel like hardcore. Every death, camper, camper, camper, svd sniper. Still fun and should be a good game.

Also falling through the map

Also falling through the map is quite annoying when u go to shoot over something and you fall through the map and can’t see over it, is quite annoying. But it only happens on the first objectives

hit box bug

Submitted by Limpet on Sat, 01/10/2011 - 16:45.

apparently there is a bug that the chest hit box gets the same damage multiplyer as the head when your moving, which would explain why I seem to get headshotted across the map all the time when I’m running

s0 I hear y0u g0tta run this thr0ugh the 0rigin platf0rm. Any c0mments ab0ut that Limpet?

I was pr0bably 0ne 0f the earlier ad0pters 0f Steam. y0u get used t0 it and its n0t a pr0blem, I can’t imagine 0rigin being any different?
