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. 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.

Yeah if you think metro is "to big" this game isn't for you. You are definitely a cod fan with that definition .

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.

I really wish my PC could run it, but oh well. I could tell it was a well designed game, but the lack of people just ruined it for me. With twice as much people it would fix so many of the problems.

I think its wonderful. ;-) Never been literally blinded by a flashlight in broad daylight before? 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) Actually it is a flashlight.. tactical flashlight attachment LOL
the scopes don't produce that much light off the glare. when you get in the metro, put tac flashlight on UMP or 870MCS and you will literally murder absolutely everyone in a heads-up engagement. they're ridiculous haha

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:

I came into the beta expecting something closer to Battlefield 2, and I got a glitchy Bad Company 2 mod with searchlight caliber flashlights. Fuck.

Sorry I meant 64 on Caspian, 32 on Metro. Consoles will not get 64 player servers when released, just 24 from this http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/5445330.page
That was over half a year ago so I dunno if they may raise the cap to 32.

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

That sucks. Metro is like a CoD map: no vehicles, no aircraft, no ships, just infantry.

metro is retardedly glitchy, people fall through the ground 1/2 spawns outside, this feels like alpha not beta because it happens SO MUCH. Caspian was way cleaner bug wise and more fun, who buys BF3 to play "rush mode.."
