Played a bit today and oh boy... what a letdown. Yes i do know this is beta but still.

If you want to take on CoD you have to make a better looking clone. And that's what they did.

Looks broken in every way.

Very disappointed as a BF fan.

Could be a little more descriptive, ie what exactly is wrong rather than saying its broken in every way,

first of all this is definitely no cod clone. Second of all the game mode in the beta is RUSH on an infantry focused map. we've already seen from videos their will be large, vehicle heavy conquest maps in the game too. You are judging it far too harshly. its the rush gamemode that originated with bad company, so of course this map feels more BC2 than BF2.

You are right, operation metro isn't a great map, but maps like Caspian border look like they will be great fun.

The beta doesn't have jets, helis, tanks ect... There is a LOT of stuff in the final game we haven't even seen yet.

I am real curious what game people are playing and/or if they have truly changed that much since the Alpha, as I played the Alpha when it was released about a month ago and am not sure where any of these comments are coming from based on my time with it, and I would imagine they have only refined things since that. Maybe they somehow changed the entire way the game played in a few weeks. I guess I will get to see for myself when I get home from work in about 90 minutes.

If it was free fair enough but some people like me bought MOH:LE just for beta access and a full day of ealy access has been wasted waiting for them to release the keys.

Still, it's no reason to get mad about. You still get an extra day of play time till the 10th of October. Just chill out and be happy with what has been given to you. It's nothing to get mad about and cancel a pre-order. You could've expected it not to go as smoothly as everyone had hoped and I'm sure that their local time has a play in this.

I have a couple friends who are already playing it. Somehow.

What are you talking about? The early access has already started. I can be home right now playing it if i was not at work.

Damn, I admit I have not paid much attention, but is this Beta really just RUSH mode? If so, I may not even bother playing other than to check it out for performance. I loathe RUSH mode personally, literally only play Conquest.

Same here :(

Just an hour to go for me, if I even want to play it now. LOL

Yeah, its 32 player rush. No vehicles. I don't think its THAT bad and don't mind rush too much myself, but I do think EA chose a very poor map to use for the beta. It doesn't give people the right impression of the game.

or maybe what you are getting right now is the impression of the game they are trying to get out there? but it just sucks...

Played a couple of games. Feels a little like BC2. Movement is different from BC2 just not that much different. Seems well polished. Still having problems with invisible walls (like I did in the Alpha). Body models need fixing (try killing someone with a shotgun and see what happens). Talking about shotguns, got my first 8 kill streak. Gotta love the proning idiots (Y)

I've seen enough proof in videos, like the caspian border gameplay. This map is clearly nothing close to everything that this game has to offer.

Unless they removed it since the alpha, the attackers get an APC on the first stage. That's it, though.

Not entirely sure why it matters. there's barely more than a day left before it's open to everyone. Although I sure wouldn't turn down an early access give if it were given to me.

*trying to be patient*

And I did pre order, it's just my pre order was in place before this Origin thing came about so I couldn't really change it. lol

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data.

Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies.
