OUCH! Battlefield 3 just lost 34k of its preorders, and rising!

I didn't see this earlier...YAY!

[QUOTE="millerlight89"]IDK what you're supposed to be showing me, don't really care either. Notice the "I."ChubbyGuy40

That video is kinda stupid. He's getting picked off by LMGs, straight headshots. Yet he's trying to call it lag or delayed. You get shot in the head, you die. Not sure what's so complicated to understand.

I had the pleasure of playing on Caspian Border in the Beta. If they had released that map for the Beta, They won't be losing PRE-ORDERS!! Who's Idea was it to put Operation Metro, a map with no vehicles or jets, hardly and destruction, in the beta!? Caspian Border screams Battlefield and superior in every single way to operation metro.

Cosign.... Caspian was amazing, Metro was meh.

Looking forward to release though and trying the other maps on conquest.

What do you mean by Cosign?? Just wondering. You want my soldier name??

The Old Republic beta is so damn glitchy and buggy! Pre-order cancelled! Pvt_r3d

Ahhh...I never heard that before so I was a little confused. lol!

Gotta say, the beta made me alot less enthusiastic for the game. carljohnson3456

Be prepared to be blown away if you get a chance to play Caspian Border. If you want to see it, there are plenty of videos on Youtube on it.

The people who cancelled their pre-orders are seriously jumping the gun. Obviously they have never played a Beta before.

Nothing wrong with more games...just sometimes it's easier to put less effort and even more of a chance to screw up. Plus if the new game is too similar then why buy it when the previous game is like it? I got COD4 and WAW but skipped MW2 and ended up with BO and maybe skip MW3.

34K preorders lost due to a beta with 1 map? That's just sad, if it's something like FFXIV that was completely broken even before it's release I'd understand it but this is harsh beyond belief. Apparently gamers just can't be pleased :/

BF3 and Skyrim are gonna destroy my social life :D Not to mention Dark Souls.

I found Caspian Border to be a better map than Metro, but the core netcode issues still make it pointless.

Yeah, that's pretty much the biggest design flaw standing between BF and FPS dominance. I mean, CoD isn't any better quality wise, they are both pretty much bottom of the barrel games, but it's easy to play with friends in CoD, and playing with friends is always better than playing alone.

Well the party system for BF3 IS completely broken and maybe those 34k people are like me and want to be able to play with my friends on the same squad of the same team and actually be able to hear each other talk and use teamwork etc. Believe it or not, that completely breaks the game for people who like to party up with their friends and play together.Messiahbolical-

Keyword: Beta

I mentioned FFXIV as an example because the beta felt like an alpha and the released version is still a beta, a party system is easy to fix, a full game isn't.

DICE already confirmed that there's no squad management in the FULL BF3, not just the beta. People need to know what they're talking about before they open their mouths(or in this case, touch their keyboards).Messiahbolical-

You should seriously listen to your own advice.

I agree. Even bad games are fun when you can party up easily with friends. Good games can be less fun than bad games if they make it difficult to party up. I mean, 4 people only DICE? Really? Why not allow 12 people to party up?

Pug-Nasty

Correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone in the party goes to the same team. If you had 12...well, that just wouldn't be fair.

It was a stupid move on DICE/EA to have a build from August this close to the launch.

It's stupid, what would people expect otherwise? Ofcourse most people would think this is going to be similiar to the final game. Plus, for PC users, Caspian Border should't have passwords as that will be the most Battlefield esque map.

Pretty poor decisions by whoever organised the beta. Still keeping my preorder tho

Yes, but there is a team deathmatch and squad team deathmatch in BF3. Who knows, maybe in the normal team deathmatch you may be able to bring a party of more than 4 people, but that's kind of a stretch.

The game has matchmaking, I don't see any reason why they couldn't find 12 other players to fill out the other team.

1.) Don't release a month old beta instead of the current beta when the game comes out in one month.

2.) Yeah it's a beta so what? BC2 had a beta with tons of bugs and then when the full game released, the BUGS WERE STILL THERE! The same thing happened with MOH and it's 2 betas. So dice don't have a great track record of fixing up final realeases.

However I won't put all the fault on dice. 99% of this fault will be from EA trying to rush the release date. So I expect a buggy release and then the game to be up to its full potential in another month.

I love how battlefield fanboys refuse to acknowlege the possibility that people just dont like battlefield's gameplay style, its sluggish slow paced controls, its crappy guns that feel like you are firing nerf guns at cardboard boxes, etc......:lol:

They keep blaming the hate on the "bugs and technical issues" like its impossible for people to just not like their godly game, and if they DONT like it, then something is wrong with the gamer and NOT the game I.E. they are just a "Kiddie" "CoD noob" or a "bro gamer":roll:

StrongDeadlift

Oh! How about the other group who doesn't look past the proof that this is a just a beta that Dice is using to test their server capacity and instead decide to enrage BF fans with false info that may not end up being true. The other group s not perfect either.
