Minor pause from playing Saints Row 2.
Currently playing the Battlefield 3 beta, on Xbox 360. Thus far I have played about 2 hours on the beta map, Operation Metro.
Thoughts of the game thus far:
-
Eye candy and attention to detail is excellent. Watching another players red-dot sign wander around the screen is brilliant.
-
Only four solider classes is OK.
-
Overall player movement in the game feels less fluid than Battlefield 2.
-
Prone is excellent, although it allows for copious camping.
-
Being able to vault over obstacles is handy, but can cause combat issues as the animation sequence takes some time (as it would in real life). I think this detracts a little bit from game play.
I'll give it a few more hours and might also download the PC beta in order to help with a final decision - purchase the game on Xbox 360 or PC...
