Squee Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The movement/controls/animations are amazing. You can tell DICE have put so much effort into it. They have nailed it in BF3, it's perfect. Yep! Plus, it's probably the most intense MP experience I've had since BFBC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Npoess Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yeah. They also made the sound even better than Bad Company.. I thought that was impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El_Chemso Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think you guys are playing a diff game, I thought both the sound and movement were poor. But I haven't played it since the day I had the private invitation, has it been improved since or something? Or is it the PC version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 PC man, the sounds are amazing. The echo of the gun fire in the distance... The whole atmosphere is amazing. **stares wistfully at computer screen** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El_Chemso Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think the xbox is showing its age, both the last games I played, gears and bf3 seem to struggle/not look great. Time for the 720 xbox I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 the current gen consoles are holding the whole gaming back 5 years because major developers have to put so much effort into engines that have to abide by those 5 year old rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 came across this tweet today Daniel Matros A lot of what you are seeing in the BETA doesn't exist in the main game already. 1st Party submissions mean we couldn't give a version of the latest code in the BETA but the retail game is well ahead of what you are seeing now with a lot more bug fixes already in place.

Hautlle Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 They're adjusting weapon damage, net code optimization, and server side optimization among other things I'd imagine. I could see this code being a month old, maybe even older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for the 720 xbox I think. it sounds fantastic to me (xbox). graphics are pretty amazing but they have that console blur thing going on which most games since gta4 have had, but i can live with that. it probably is a good time for the next gen tho I agree, but meanwhile I'll enjoy what we have just fine.

Why are you always so sceptical? It is true that the beta we are playing is a few weeks old because they have to submit the beta to Microsoft to get it approved and I can tell you that it takes forever for Microsoft (and probably Sony as well) to check to see if betas and demos live up to their standards before they publish them online. So if they had sent off their newest build of BF3 we probably wouldn't have played it before the actual game gets released. I followed the development of an XBLA game and when they were done checking for bugs Microsoft sent them a list with a billion things, which are called TCRs (Technical Certification Requirements) that they had to make sure were fixed and they had the weirdest demands because apparantly gamers do the weirdest things while they're playing. They are also really nit picky when it comes to engaging players as fast as possible. One of the requirements sounded something like this: "You have to employ methods to engage the player when the game is loading. Methods to engage a player: Tutorial videos, character animations, rotating hints, scrolling text, and other activities that are important to gameplay. Progress indicators are not a sufficient method that meets this requirement." The primary reason for the beta is, just like Hautlle said, to stress test stuff such as servers and what not.

Squee Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 ^jesus, the console gaming industry so needs to die a painful death Nah. People should just learn to stop bitching and moaning over things they don't know anything about. Sure it might be a bit of a hassle to debug your software according to Microsoft's standards but if it means that the product gets THAT much better then I don't really see the problem.

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 some of the problems i have with the game arent to do with bugs , but theyre things that im pretty sure are gonna be in the final product such as 3rd person killcams. those have always been glitchy and annoying and immersion ruining, you get these gross close up views of a guys nostril and any time something is in front of the camera it just goes crazy. its gross they should serousy just make a first person kill cam. its not a big deal. or give us control so we can swing it around to their back if theres shit in the way and we dont want to look at one of those stone face character models running around like idiots. battlefield 3 has really good character animations and designs but any model is gonna look like crap when you put a stupid camera in their face and theyre running around and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 43-2 No sound on at all. The only game in existence I'm really good at (apart from Forza) and it's not even out yet. This could be the one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
