I pre-ordered it about 3 weeks ago, and now so have 2 of my mates lol I'm unfortunatley gonna miss the Beta though, i didn't bother gettin Medal of Honor so i didn't get access

 

The Beta is going to be open for everyone, the people who got MoH are just getting an early start. I didn't get it either, but I managed to get my hands on a code.

The game feels great, maybe it doesn't look that great (graphics, textures, etc) but its just a Beta, its only 1.3 GB big, while the PC version is 4 GB. I expect improvement on that area.

It has alot of bugs though (the one with the sound disappearing is the worst) and the constant disconnections/errors can get in your head after a while.

 

I think EA should have released a better Beta, I don't think (and hope) that the final product will have anything to do with this.

The entire point of a Beta is to find bugs in the game, by launch the game will be mostly fixed especially if you do your part and report the bugs.

 

Anyway my first thoughts from the beta are "Wow DICE you have done it again and much better then ever before.". I personally think the game looks brilliant with explosions and particle effects. Keep in mind that Operation Metro is the least Battlefield like map in the entire game because it doesn't have any vehicles and for a Battlefield map it is not very big. They have made lots of great changes to the game and I can't wait to see what the full game will be like. :D

People, people, people......

I come bearing news:

 

We have only played half of Operation Metro, full version is twice as big.

 

The graphics are running at half blast. Full game will look much better.

 

The reason there are no vehicles is because it is rush mode not conquest or TDM.

 

The will be updating the beta reguraly

 

Supposedly as early as Tuesday they will be adding Caspian Boarder to the beta with vehicles (rumor)
