"the beta is a privilege, not a right, unless you got a key with a pre-order"
I preordered and I did not get my "48 hour early access" so I was fully in the right to bitch and complain.
As the community manager he neeeds to be able to take both positive and negative opinions. Talking shit on a forum to your fan base AKA customers is just plain bad business.

The 360 version of this beta is seriously broken. Can barely get in a game, and when I do, I end up getting lagged or the server shuts down.
You cant use the "well, it IS a Beta." It's too broken for the public.

On PC, what key is used to change the firing mode of your gun? I've tried tapping 1 but I'm not sure if the gun just doesn't support other firing modes or if I'm using the wrong key.

What an entitled ass he comes across as. How about explaining how the game is such a glitchy mess two weeks from going gold, huh? I have zero pity for their crunch time. Given their arrogance towards CoD, they deserve everything they get. I mean, CoD has never been a programming marvel, but compared to the BF3 beta it looks like a national security grade application.

Why are you trying to make it out like he said those who pre-ordered don't have a right to complain? He obviously was referring to those who got in via the free open beta.
Anyways, if you have read the forums like I have you'd understand why. There are so many stupid, copy cat threads it crosses from legitimate complaint to bitching just to bitch. For example, one guy keeps posting threads saying the PC version should stop getting attention because "90% of sales will be on xbox".

His point was that the free open beta is not something that should carry the same expectations in relation to the publisher consumer relationship as a released product you purchased. On the other hand, if the retail version is buggy then people have every right to make demands in that case because they paid money for it.Chittagong said:

lol @ reload animation for the PDW-R
not really liking the 44 Magnum but it's probably because of the bullshit lag i've been getting. The Saiga is still deadly in CQC (no surprises there). Pretty close to unlocking the DAO-12 so we'll see how that compares.
I'm pretty much waiting to unlock the P90 since I love that gun. Probably by then I'm gonna be done with this beta especially with Dark Souls coming out this week.

They wont be laughing when their sales drop 30% because of their lame map choice on the beta! You only get 1 shot of doing a good impression in this business!

Supposedly there's stuff in the beta that mentions weapons that'll be included in the Back to Karkand DLC.
It's all BF2 weapons of course, the FAMAS, MP5, PP19 (the SMG Chinese Anti-Tank used to have), QBZ95B (the assault rifle the Chinese had), L85A2, QBB95, MG36, Jackhammer, Type 88 and the L96.
There's leaked multiplayer map names too.
SP maps are (spoilered for sensitive people, there's no major surprises though.:
And co-op (again spoilered) -
Source is some guy digging around in the files.

I really hope this game gets delayed. And I say this as a fan of the franchise. It's... not very good.
I'm playing it on console and while I fully expect it to look/perform dramatically different(worse) than PC (and yes, I know, it's a beta), I can't help but worry about it. So far my experience with it has been a lesson in mediocrity. Which is a shame, because Bad Company 2 was a blast. Honestly, I don't even think the visuals are that much better than BC2.
I say delay it. This game will only benefit from it.

I have to say prone has made this game a lot more enjoyable for me. So many people are sitting still due to prone that I am getting way more head shots on engineers, assault, support classes instead of just all the snipers that used to sit still in Bad Company 2.
God fucking damn it I almost rage quit out just now. I got pushed out of cover by people spawning out of my butt so many times. And of course I was then immediately killed. Over, and over, and over. I could not get shit for kills. The best I could do was take out or save an MCOM once per match.
Also, fuck this game for spawning me pointing in the opposite direction of the objectives, or especially backwards and prone. It's nice to be barely half turned around before I'm murdered.

That's not entirely the games fault. That's just the opposing team wrecking your team so badly that they can't be pushed away from your spawn or M-COMs. Either that or your squad members are running too far ahead into enemy territory.FStop7 said:
Haha, makes sense when you put it that way!darkwing said:
Seriously though it needs to spawn you about a yard back and it would be OK. Since you get to watch on the cam the person you spawn on, you know what to expect a yard back. The but spawning is unreliable because you can face odd ways based on how the teammate is wiggling on the ground.
Oh my god.gibon3z said:
This is EXACTLY what I've been going through every damn game on PS3. I mean my connection here is pretty solid and I've never had any problems like this with Bad Company 2 so I dunno.
I reeeeeaaaally hope this just a beta thing though. I can deal with the glitches, I can avoid the glitched pits of doom in the first area of mcoms, but this right here is a gamebreaker for me. I'm enjoying the game in all honesty but these bullshit deaths are really making it hard to like this.
Just saw it in that video, I always laugh when after I get killed I see the guy in the "killcam" just put both his arms down near his sides. It just looks weird as he seems to slide around for a second or two before he gets a gun in his hand again...is he picking a weapon up off the ground and there's no real animation for it or what?

It believe that also happens when you revive some one or throw out a health/ammo pack. Maybe it's lacking some kind of transition animation.bluehat9 said:

Character models shouldn't be moving each other around at any time, much less when we spawn on teammates.
