I am quite disappointed by BF3 to be honest.

First of all I do not like Origin and this entire browser stuff, but that's just a matter of taste. However I was forced to install Origin just for this Beta and had to create an account, later on I wanted to download the game and could not because this is only possible between 11PM and 6AM. So I had to wait some moure hours until I could finally download it (not actually EA's fault, I think they have to do that, but it sucks anyway).

When I wanted to play it I received an error message: Please update your Nvidia drivers to version 285.XX. On the Nvidia website I noticed that these drivers are only beta drivers, so I need to install unstable drivers to test the game... I did that, now I am not able to change my desktop wallpaper anymore which just stays black all the time and YouTube videos can't get more than 1 FPS. And that sucks.
Hidden content:
I know EA is not developing those drivers, but they force us to use beta drivers.
When I finally wanted to join through "Quick match" I received another error message: 'Generic Game error (code 1)'

Thanks to Google I found out that I just have to choose a server on my own and can join then. That worked, but why creating a "Quick match" button then?

I did not play much, first of all because I have been annoyed already, and also because I keep moving forward in the game. Wether I press a button or not, I move, also in the menu I switch between the options all the time... I restarted the game a few times, restarted the PC. It does not help at all.

If this won't change until they release it, I will immediately sell my already pre-ordered copy of the game. I already bought one unfinished EA game this year (Crysis 2), and won't do this again - well I already did buy pre-ordering it, so it will be my last time pre-ordering a game...

And just by the way I'm also a bit disappointed by the graphics which does not look that good, still OK though. But since they promised to focus on the PC more than usually it's simply bad.

Rip-off?

I watched a couple of beta vids and also livestreams.

There are a lot of old textures (from bfbc2)

I have to agree with iron there.

First of all.

It is a Beta, this is not full graphic (as I already said). They will improve the graphic in the release.(Ye I read this in a Topic)

I got no Problems with the new Nvidia Driver, so I can't understand your problem.
You was also able to download the Beta from another hoster, not only from EA, as I did it.( You can find other downloads in this topic)
A lot of people gets the "Generic error 1/2/3" its a bug, relogg in Battlelog and it will work. I got the same problem at the beginning, but now everything works fine.

There will be a one day patch, which will patch every bug in the Beta, since they burn the DVDs of BF3. Also the bug that you can look trough the ground.

@Madara, what do you mean with old BFBC2 textures? How can you know it? You didn't even downloaded it. If you read it, link please.

What a load of absolute bullshit, the texture are VASTLY better than those of BC2. You think they could use low res textures and use up 1.3GB VRAM? Please keep dreaming...

What do you expect with an engine that devours graphics cards that cost more than an xbox.

i am with you... i expected really something special but err.. its like playing battlefield hereos or battlefieldplay4free. :neutral:

Bad company 2 is still better and lively than this shit. The only thing what bc2 lacks on are JETS and more bigger maps. Then its perfect battlefield game.
