I just got my code this morning. Can't wait to download.

Son of a bitch your like the 8th person I know that got an invite :( Lucky sod (Y)

That's one of my biggest gripes with COD, why does a single knife equate to an instant kill whereas a whole host of bullets from a light machine gun do sweet **** all because he knifed me first?

there is hardcore mode... one two shot kills. only way i play.

Not been confirmed for BF3 yet. Although I would image it to be in.

It should be default in bf3 if people can't handle it then make "airsoft mode" for them where they can put whole mags from each weapon into each other and still walk away with only bit of red jelly on their face :whistle:

This thread is now about SC and HC modes and how one is more n00b than the other. So, which side would like to start? :rolleyes:

Considering some game types, at least in CoD, are SC only I play that a fair amount. All game types for SC + HC ;) that'd go well...

sounds like someone has difficulty in normal core.

Well yeah certainly when it take 5+ head shots to kill someone and that's being accurate I've even put whole MG3 belts into people they walk away with 0% life left no problem. If a games going to be like that why the hell is it even a shooter if shots are like throwing peas at people ?

I have to say I never experience this issue at all, not even remotely experience it, meaning I am never feeling as if I am emptying a whole clip into someone to kill them, and headshots seem to work no problems at all. And I always play "normal" Conquest mode. Sure you have good connections to the servers you play on?

[M4nB3arP1g]

I hope there is HC mode its the only way I play. IMO it makes the game more fun because everything is more riskier with one or two hits and your dead.

BF3 weapons are more powerful than BC2, so it's already riskier :p

That sounds like a connection issue on your end if you're not exaggerating. Never had any such problems in BC2 even when it was first out and they had all those severe server connection problems.

Partly true. The beta in September is an open beta meaning anyone can play it. Most people will treat it as a demo though.

I never said otherwise, i just said the 'beta' he was on about is september........

My bad, I assumed you meant that only people who pre ordered MoH would get into the beta.

Early access to the BF3 beta isn't limited to people who pre-ordered MoH. The only requirement for early access is that you own the limited edition of MoH. I recently picked up MoH (X360) for $10 and it's pretty fun.

It's also great being shafted by owning that crappy 'Tier 1 edition' which was supposed to have it and doesn't. Wasted my money on that :D

The steam store page shafted a lot of people too. For quite a while it said on the store page for the regular version that you could get into the bf3 beta.

Yeah whoever came up with the MoH/BF3 beta mix up including general EA PR regarding it seem to turned it into a bit of a bomb. Something they really need to work on improving.

[AbandonedTrolley]

Just got my invite for the Alpha trial, will log on and grab it tonight I think. Can't wait to see how it looks and runs on my machine.

[TheLegendOfMart]

It wont look great, there are only 3 graphics settings there are no advanced settings just yet, low/medium/high.
