I hope the servers will cope with it properly on release date and it's reliable enough.

Working 60's with 2 hours of commute time a day I doubt I'll even play the beta at this point. Still haven't even fired up Dead Island.

I mean after the previous Battlefield games I think they should have experience to correct things.

Strange that the beta won't be 64 player. They should feel very confident with 32 players because of BC2 but 64 is uncharted territory for the Frostbite engine and the beta is just the place to test that.

Don't bother...It's a mess

Yea I was hoping we would get to play BF3 but instead all we get is BC3.

I hope they have the right e-mail for my early access as a MOH owner.. that $50 purchase was so worth it! only slightly more than $1/hour of early access, what a steal

I dreamed about this game last night.

No really...i did lol.

Daniel Matros, Community Manager for Battlefield 3, has explained the developers’ reasons behind choosing the Operation Metro map for the beta.

“The Alpha was very important from a server side of view. Now we´re in Beta. Not only does the server side need to be tested but also the complete game client,” he said. This called for the team to pick just one map for the beta, Operation Metro, “we have already showed this map and made some big changes to it to enhance gameplay as well as get it more fluent than in the Alpha.”

He finished by saying, “If you feel that this isn’t the right map for you, then perhaps we don’t really agree on what maps we want to see. Other than that, I do hope people will have a great time playing it and will enjoy the Beta

WTF does that mean?

It's like saying if you don't like french fries then we agree you don't like french fries LOL

sort of. more like "oh you don't like french fries? we like french fries so you should f*$# off

i'm not even sure on what planet the first statement makes sense:

• The alpha was important from a server standpoint... check
• Now its about the client so we're limiting the client to only a single map that we already have data for.. does not compute
