So I just played the beta on xbox at a friends house and I must say I was kinda disappointed. The game just felt...off? I can't really explain it, but i've felt the same way about any game run on a DICE engine. It just doesn't feel right and I can't really explain it other than that. It may be a lot better on the PC but for an xbox shooter i disliked it. Its probably would be better on a PC and I wish I could try it for PC, but I can't run it.

Anyways for game play, the maps just felt to big for 32 people, it was to slow paced for me, the guns didn't feel right, and overall I was disappointed and glad I pre-orded MW3 instead. Maybe I'm just a CoD fanboy, because all my friends seemed to love it except for me.

Anyways, it was a good game but just not for me.

Despite this, the graphics were amazing and the models actually looked like they belonged there - unlike many other shooters.

Anyways, it was a good game but just not for me.

Consoles only got to test Metro. Its bad. If that is big I don't know how your going to take Caspian. But then again, theres a upper limit of 24 or 32 ppl on consoles as opposed to 64 for PC. I don't know if Caspian would feel like a ghost battlefield with that much less people. I would not buy BF3 on consoles if I had a PC that met BF3 recommended spec or minus a little.

It's not a flashlight. Jesus, why do people not get this? The scope is supposed to reflect the sun, which of course is going to be bright as hell. Just try watching the sun through a mirror outside, it won't look much different (and if you look to long you won't see anything at all)

Hm, I keep on trying to join games in the browser server selection menu, but the games never even start it just continues saying "Joining Server..." :-| am I doing something wrong here?

Edit: I do get the Origin popup of 'Launching Battlefield 3' but then it just doesn't do anything and disappears after a few seconds:

If you had a password (which many had) you were able to play it. Caspian Border is not in the beta anymore.
