Battlefield 3

Yeah, it's a long way from being graphically optimised, so to be expected.

Quite underwhelmed by the beta (PS3) to be honest. The controls felt awful, not very direct at all. Felt like my soldier was drunk, swaying everywhere. Not nice.

Will see what people make of it on release before I decide on buying it.

I thought the controls were one of the main and most obvious improvements. I like the new more parkour style movement, and the hit detection and movement is far less clunky than in Bad Company 2. I suppose everyone will have their own opinion though. It definitely takes some getting used to though.

It was laggy but I didn't really like it that much anyway tbh

Yeah, jumping over obstacles is very good.

Just feels that if I see someone it's not very sharp in responding to me pointing at him. Having been used to spending so long on MW2, not surprising it's different. Just prefer how that works on MW2.

It's a graphically intense game, so that's to be expected. Frostbite 2 is a really powerful engine. The full game will likely be more intensive.

Yeah, my computer isn't great, it won't lie.

Is it good? I should have my copy tomorrow morning.

I hate Flipkart They showed the release date as 25th October when i preodered. But now they have changed the date to 28th October
I'll be lucky to get it on Saturday, else i'd get it on Monday. Soooooooo Late

I saw thedon playing on PSN. How is it? Decided to cancel the pre-order after the dissapointing beta. Is the campaign good? Is multiplayer similar to BC2? Might be getting it next week.

Why were you disappointed by beta mate? Of course there were some problems but none were so serious that can't be removed before release. For example: Some people really abused the flashlight which should be resolved by the time game releases.
I was pleased that the game engine was highly optimized even in the Beta stage. It was running smoothly on my 2 year old rig while Rage was struggling to give 10 FPS without patch. Even with patch Rage was barely playable. That is what i call a disappointment.

The game's amazing, bad idea to cancel your preorder. Haven't played the campaign and don't plan to till December, but the multiplayer is much better than both BC2 and the beta.

Don't think I've ever had that much fun in an online shooter before.

Anyone know about the HD Texture Pack for console? I didn't see it, so is it just for 360 or PS3 as well?

Canceled the preorder from Flipkart as i saw this on a shop while roaming in a Mall. Snatched it in a second

Un-friggen-believable. Amazing. Epic.

And I'm just installing it atm.

I love my GF even more now. As she literally dragged me outta bed to watch a hindi movie which i was desperately trying to avoid (Mujhse Fraanship Karoge). And it was that sacred Shopping Mall where i accidentally spotted Battlefield 3 in shelves. I just thought " fearsome tweak you Flipkart, I'm getting this game now"

Why were you disappointed by beta mate?

It had a lot of glitches. But after reading some reviews and reading both of your opinions, I think I'll be getting it next week.
