    Beta's started, anyone else in? Pretty damn fun if you ask me.

    Only map is Operation Metro on rush, sadly.

    Yep im playing it, at first i was dissapointed but it still seems like a really good game, also this is a build from like 2-3 months ago and their only using the 0.5 Frostbite engine so it should be quite better in the retailed version.

    No it's just a month old.

    If the whole game was like the beta, it'd be horribly boring.

    Caspian border is just such a better map, can vouch with first person experience.

    Oh yeah obviously, I dont want to completely judge the game until i play Caspian because that's the real battlefield series right there, metro is more CoD based

    Nah, hardly cod based.

    It's showcasing the infantry bit of BF3, which is a composite of BC2 and Medal of honor 2010.

    From what I heard, No. So the retail one should look a bit better. And obviously the gameplay will be wayyy better with the other maps not this CoD based shit.

    Don't know if you've already heard but the 360 and PS3 versions are coming with an extra HighRes texture pack you can install to make the graphics even better. Didn't say anything about PC but i assume that the HighRes pack is standard.

    I dunno why people are so overhyped with graphics in this game, for me it just looks like BC2 only that it has over 500 filters per pixel.

    But i'll still buy it and play it like crazy.

    The radiosity engine is pretty impressive, even if it is crazily low res I guess you don't really need per-centimeter photon reflection. Keen to see proper building destruction once the full game comes out.

    i hope every building will be destructible again, like BC2.

    It just forces you to install it on PS3. If anything the 360 version being on a separate disk makes it better because you have a choice of whether to install it or not.
