Your normal charming self I see!

This time around they’ve done the deal with Microsoft – they are getting at least one of the DLC’s early too I believe.
Your just cranky as you got up early to start the download, only to find its not available :-P

Well ive had a quick play and im not convinced tbh. Prob doesnt help that everyone is just in camping phase etc but theres some st spawning going on.

However, the biggest fk up is the spotting, now you have to press L2 instead of select which i guess over time youll get used to it but its very frustrating otherwise.

Bendy bullet syndrom still exists as well

It is becoming more like COD just on bigger scale so not as visually good.

Theres a new kill cam in that is shows you a thermal image of where the dude is hiding when he killed you/what hes up to.

One second it only takes a 1 shot to kill someone, the next half a mag

At this moment in time, you cant join your buddies outside a game, they have to find one with hardly anyone in and then hope you join them.

Will be interesting to see it in hardcore, as those that play regularly, im not a fan of soft

Where do you find the beta? Can't see it. Does it matter which version of the game you pre ordered?

Are you a premium player? If so it was in the playstation store for me.

Why oh why have they fcensoredcked around with the buttons?!

Now everytime I try to spot someone, I pause the game and get killed. mad

I also have to stand around in front of vehicles working out how to get in the damn things - it's now square instead of circle. banghead

I was just about to post the exact same thing. I hope they have a BF3 buttons option for it.

As for flying helicopters, FFS.. Oh, and now driving tanks.

Struggling with the spotting and driving thing at the moment but I guess that's learnt behaviour - I can't seem to supply myself with ammo though for some reason.

The visual side of things seems a little disappointing right now too but I guess that will get more polished over time.

The ultimate cynic in me would suggest that this is because the ps4 version needs to be 'better' to justify the increased rrp.

Where do you report faults/bugs? I am finding loads (though not sure if that is due to my s**e internet speed - unless other people find the rooftop lifts appear and disappear at random)

Nope, it's the actual lift itself that vanishes!! i.e. on the roof of C, if I go across the glass to the other side, and turn around, I generally no longer can see the lift shaft until I get back to the glass.....

There must be somewhere to "officially" list faults though, being as it is a Beta!!?

For example, I find that 7 times out of 10 when I switch to Guided shell, it doesn't bother switching the gunsight....

Guided shell?

You must have progressed quite abit then as im only a level 2 i think. Theres lots of issues with it, whether its been designed like it or not i dont know but ignoring the spotting, my other issues are you cant replenish grenades/m320/rpg ammo.

Theres not ammo crates as such, just a pissy lil pack for 1 person

Sometimes your allowed your pistol, alot of the times your not

One shot kills on you though multiple hits on them still continues mind

There's two types of ammo pack - a single person one they keep with them (as I understand it) and a 'normal' one.

I'm getting the impression that the volume of changes made means there's going to a be a bigger learning curve than you'd normally expect.

Saying that, whole load of differences between the BC2 and 3, was really bloody annoying for a little while, then I personally didn't really notice.

In this edition I'm guessing that there's going to be an enormous difference playing in a squad instead of being able to pick up and hit a map with randoms. Might be good for us (well me, as I'm st without people helping!)...

Roll on tomorrow - kids are away with their dad, and GTA5 is also calling my name. Might have to collude with the sister in law to get some quality gaming time - wonder if they fancy heading out all day Saturday and Sunday?!

EA servers look to have taken a big hit today - either that or it's just me who can't connect to them.

It makes the beta nothing more than a menu system to play with.

Just popped on here to see if anyone else had this problem.

Looks like BF3 this afternoon then.

Just spotted your message on PSN, I don't get many of those so totally missed it, apologies.
