Did anyone else get into the closed beta?

I just got an email this morning saying well done and stuff, with a beta key, when I don't even remembering registering, unless it was automatic afterbeing in theBattlefield Heores beta aswell.

Anyway its awesome, a lil buggy, but its a beta.

I wonder if it's going to end up like Battlefield Heroes, where you will be able to buy in-game advantages for real money.

I signed up the day it was avaliable, still nothing. I'm even a battlefield veteran. I'm just hoping for an invite soon, as BF2 would be my favourite game of all time.

If it ends up like Battlefield Heroes then I won't be touching it. That game was so boring to me.

To sum it up... it's set up like a cross between BC2 and BF Heroes. Personally I just absolutely did not find it entertaining at all. It's visually a step up from BF2 but they give it a weird look by adding this weird black edge filter where like the edge of your screen is like fading darker. It just makes it look weird. The lighting overall seems kind of off though. It's not like playing BF2 all that much, it's more like BC2 with BF Heroes features.

I just want to warn people about what EA done to Battlefield Heroes, because theres a chance they could do that same with Battlefield Play4Free. When Battlefield Heroes first started, they stated that people will not be able to in-game advantages, but players can buy cosmetics which has no influence on the Battlefield at all.Theres even a video of Ben Cousins saying it. They stuck to their word for about 1 year, when they had a good playerbase. They then released 'tier' weapons which could be obtained by digging into your wallet. EA pulled a 'bait & switch'. By doing this, EA ruined most of the competitive community because their was no 'even playing field'. I know it's abit off-topic, but don't be suprised if EA pull another 'bait & switch' with Battlefield Play4Free.

you do realize those weapons are just skins of the Uber and Super weapons you can get with in game money for renting? There still is no real advantage and if your'e good you can easily beat someone with a regular weapon against an uber weapon.

Of course someone who is better at the game with an original weapon can beat someone who is bad with an uber weapon. If you put two players of equal skill together, one with an original & one with an uber, then things would look different. The fact is the advantage is still there. As for renting the uber weapons, yes, it's possible for a non-paying player to still get these weapons, but they have to put in a considerable amount of hours to get their 'valor points' to get on the same playing field, where as the paying playing doesn't have to worry.

its only one map, and there's no server browser or graphic setting other than low, medium and high. I played it once and its not anything I see myself playing again unless the release more maps/content for it.
