It my be true, but why turn away easy cash which HL3 would bring in???

Because Valve have the luxury of being able to take as long with their games as they wish, and as such when/if they release Half-Life 3 it will probably be epic because they'll have taken the time to make it just the way they want it.

I have not played the first two games but I would have to say Morrowind has been my favourite, whilst both Oblivion and Skyrim have refined the game mechanics I feel as though they have also each removed a lot of the player choice. For instance being a mage is certainly a lot easier now but they have nowhere near the variety of spells available in Morrowing (where's my levitate!) Also you just can't beat Morrowinds game world, so unique

If I relax in Blops I just end up choosing rediculous load outs for fun and getting dominated

*Still haven't finished Morrowind, not sure how many games I have started... might start a new one now :)

*Never finished Resident Evil 1 or 3 even though I love them, not sure if I finished 2

Do love the Minecraft

You would think they would iron out the obvious glitches before they release a Betablangenakker

That's what the beta is their for, to expose problems so they can be addressed, though considering how late it is I imagine the fixes will probably come as a day one patch

the developer needs to recognize the constuctive criticism

S0lidSnake

Ha ha. Yes, I am sure they have only had constructive criticism.

Also S0lidSnake whilst I agree that people are complaining far too much about a beta you must have had a very different experience to me. Falling through the map and having to suicide is not a 'minor graphical glitch' Also when I played the beta I kept my task manager open at all times because it froze probably 1/5 of the time. Once again I do not begrudge them that stuff, I recognise it is a beta. However they must surely realise that when the game is a month from release these issues are going to make a lot of gamers concerned about the quality of the final release.

May I ask how many times you've fallen through the map? I have played the beta for around 5 hours now, split between PS3 and PC and haven't experienced any such glitches. I'm not saying you are making it up, but Im geniunely cuirous to know how often it is. I am currently typing from my browser while the game is running in the background on their browser plugin (which btw is an awesome addition)

As for DICE releasing something with his many issues this close to the game's release, well that's something I can agree with. I mentioned in another thread that Bad Company 2 was released back in March last year. Which gives DICE barely a year and half to develop BC3. Over the years, I've seen that anything that takes less than 2 years to develop is usually not terribly polished. What makes matter worse for DICE is that they developed MoH's multiplayer which they got done with in October. That leaves barely a year to focus on Battlefield 3 and well it's clearly not enough.

I decided after playing the beta that I wont be there Day 1. I will wait for them to patch up the game, but what I truly despise is players feeling like they are owed something when they are clearly not. If the game comes out and you are still falling through the map and getting the game frozen, well by all means complain away. But right now it's just a beta, and let's be honest, the official forums are complaining about more than just map glitches and PC freezes. THey want this to be a completely different game.

Couldn't give you an exact number but I have probably fallen through the map about 20 times maybe, mostly happened when you went prove near the first objective A and other parts of the first section, though I think they may have fixed it. Just to confirm I do agree with you that people have been complaining far too much and I recognise that it isn't the final product, was just pointing out that it isn't all for no good reason :D

I certainly hope so but I'm not entirely trusting. Still uncertain whether I should pre-order

My bad, thought that was the first bundle, just saw what the first one was on Youtube... now I want it :(
