I'm surprised there's no talk about the beta release this week...

I was hoping some of the info from the alpha would have made its way out. Beta for the people who pre-ordered starts tomorrow, everyone else has to wait til Thursday.

Do you think someone can extract some weapon stats out of the beta release? I'm sure some of the weapons will be tweaked before the actual release, but something is better than nothing. I'm mainly interested in how the faction specific weapons size up to each other.

Me and a buddy both have early access, maybe we can try to find the stats together somehow (eg: taking turns shooting each other in the face) just post what ever you guys wanna know, i'll try to help :3

not that i have anything against people shooting each other in the face but wouldn't it be more effective digging arround in the code? it probably works similar to bad company 2, so we probably know where and how to look too..

That's what I meant, heh. Personally, I haven't the foggiest of how to find BC2's weapon stats amidst the game files, so I probably wouldn't be able to get it from BF3. I was hoping either Den or some other fanatic would be willing to do so. Shooting people in the face is nice and all, but I want to see actual numbers.

maybe even if our enigmatic overbro doesn't have the time or gusto to do it himself, he could refresh our memory how and where the data in bc2 was found, so we can see what we can do with bf3..

Looks fantastic, I hope the hit registration feels as crisp is it looks. Suppression, excellent motion capture animations, especially when prone, press space to accept revive, more distinct sniper vapor trails...yes, yes, yes. The hipfire spreads seem far too generous though. I would be curious as to whether or not you can hear people in close range or if it sounds like you're in a wind tunnel a la BC2--if its largely the same engine, I fear more of the same but I'd love some detailed impressions.

I didn't notice any significant player noise barring the callouts in the 7 hours I played yesterday. That's not to say it isn't there, though. I wasn't actively trying to listen for anything and it's generally a pretty loud game anyway with all the mayhem that can be going on at once.

^ Beta is more glitchy than alpha D: It makes me sad. When the game works, it's brilliant. Most of the time though, I end up spending half the round stuck in the ground, getting shot through solid cover, and shooting at invincible enemies.

I spent most of my time getting shot by guys I couldn't see, since they were all hiding somewhere or prone. That or someone I couldn't see because the graphics or so muddy.
Then I uninstalled it.

I am generally having problems with hit detection and sound. Occasionally the sound all but cuts out for extended periods of time. Anyone else have that problem?
Other than that, the semi-auto sniper rifles are great. I have attachments for the Mk11 mod 0 unlocked through the IRNV scope already.

is it really that bad on console? on pc it's absolutely howlyballzawesome! whoever of my fellow denizens cares to add me on battlelog, ID is "SheWolf20". turdferguson: i had this exact same problem! it fixed itself though when i shut down all nonessential processes while playing. could be unrelated, or could be connected to some process that was running in the backround. now i sometimes have an odd white flicker on the screen though, when i have it i get a bright white flash for a few miliseconds, about every 4 or 5 seconds. pretty annoying, but it happened once or twice in one whole evening, so no dealbreaker.

The falling through the floor and insane graphical glitches and turd hit detection/cover detection/sound problems is all just on console?

i logged 8 hours playtime so far, i fell through the floor once. so it exists, but appearently isn't as rampant as on consoles. didn't have issues with hit detection yet, but maybe i'm just lucky, doesn't mean its good for everybody. some cover is a bit odd, yes. especially the rocks, outside, at the first stage. but not so much that i would consider it a serious problem, for a game beta. sound works fine for me, but again, i'm might be just lucky while many other players struggle with it unseen to me, i simply don't know. odd, though...considered consoles have their fixed sets of hardware, the same one for half a decade now (so the devs should know how thigns work by now ) there really shouldn't be any sound troubles. i mean, the only thing they'd have to do to see there's a problem is test it, no?

I'm guessing the sound issues are due to the guns sounding different in different environments, so I'd guess it's the environments set up incorrectly rather than anything else? Hit detection and stuff hasn't been so bad, I think it's just some lag + a fair bit of me not having a feel for the guns/look of the game yet. Graphical glitches have been very variable. Mostly fine, but for a while every soldier had what looked like a 6 metre piece of sheet metal behind him, and when people hot, little yellow beams would stick in place behind them, some error with bullet effects I guess (looks like you shoot out the top of your head too)

that sounds goofy xD i'd like to see that.
lag could be an explaination. would make sense why hit detection is dodgy only on consoles appearently, doesn't console multiplayer work with these odd P2P-schemes?

sometimes i'm not allowed to ADS anymore unless i switch my weapons hit boxes are not always where they should be- im being supprt and trying to shoot around my teamates but somehow i get teamkills- and i'm a pretty good shot :/ and sometimes people are invincible from all my guns also the way the game automatically makes itself a window at the end of every round is annoying

The ADS one is especially annoying. Although I fixed the window thing by selecting the full screen box in the options menu. Or at least, it fixed itself after I messed with that and a few other settings that I don't remember.

i had the ads one too just now, a coupple of times. fixed it by switching to sidearm and back to primary. i think it might be lag related, it only happened to me on servers i had a rather bad connection to.
