    Re: Battlefield 3 (updated 9/16 - First (official) Xbox 360 footage!)

    Na, I'm bored in Calculus so I decided to check the BattleBlog. Lo and behold, it was posted just two minutes before I checked.

    BTW, I have some VERY disturbing news about this "so-called" beta. It will be on Operation Metro and using the RUSH gametype. Seriously, DICE? This same bullshit again (albeit with improvements and bug fixes)? Where the fuck is our 64-player Caspian Border action you motherfuckers?

    Confirmation: http://battlefieldo.com/beta-live/


    I'm no longer bummed that I pre-ordering through a source other than Origin and don't have the early beta access. It's the gametype on the same map. What the hell? Oh well, it's less effort for DICE now since they can roll out almost the same thing on consoles and PC simultaneously except consoles have 8 less player slots. Hopefully there are moderators on the Battlelog forums for the beta this time.

    This quote from the Battlefieldo comments section expresses my views EXACTLY except for the part about keeping the CB trailer from the public:

    Only 1 vehicle to test. This really was a great opportunity dumbly wasted by DICE to show the COD tools what vehicles (jets, flyable helis) in a game really look like. Now we just get another Rush map that will be universal across all platforms? I understand pushing Metro on the consoles, but on the PC they could have shown off the huge maps.

    And we have to wait 9 days? For something we already played? You should have kept the Caspian Border trailer to yourselves if this was the original plan. Swapping my preorder from Origin to one of the other options. The 2 day early entry lost is value when the PC beta became a rush map.

    Still looks like a sweet game, but this was an awful PR move.
